I thought that too. He looks healthier and not so loony. Fucker.
I wonder if the court has ordered psych eval which lead to psych meds.
I don't know if this is old news but I caught a quick clip on the 10 pm news. They are gonna have an auction with donated items to raise money for a reward fund. They really believe someone out there knows something and will talk for money. sounds like a great idea. Hope it works!
John Skelton agreed Friday he will represent himself in a divorce trial scheduled for June 7. He appeared in Lenawee County Circuit Court for a hearing in the pending divorce case that has taken a back seat to a criminal prosecution in the Thanksgiving disappearance of his three sons.

I do believe Chief Larry Weeks said they are in the recovery phase, but the residents in Morenci still remain hopeful. Part of me still believes his (John Skelton) family knows where the boys are right now and that pisses me off!!!
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment."
All along I have tried believing John Skelton, just because I want these boys found safe! Each day that passes I lose a little bit of hope. Unless these boys are somewhere across the country, California or somewhere on the west coast, I feel like someone would have seen and recognized them by now!
A June 3 preliminary examination on kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment charges was set Monday in Lenawee County District Court for the father of three missing Morenci boys. Public defender John Glaser requested a date be set, although a final decision has not been made on whether to have an examination where prosecution witnesses would testify.

that's cause when he was here in Lucas County he was loony and deranged. he was being held in the psych ward at St. Vincent hospital, not the jail. he's probably looking cleaned up now cause he's had a few months of meds in him
Grandparents still hope Morenci boys are alive

MORENCI, MI (WTOL) - It has been almost six months since three young brothers went missing in Morenci, Michigan.
Tuesday night, their grandparents--sitting behind enlarged pictures of their beloved grandchildren: Alexander, Andrew, and Tanner--urged the community to keep an eye out for the boys, even if hope may have faded.
Bev and Don Zuvers don't necessarily want another large scale search, just something that may turn up evidence.
"I said until they show me some physical evidence that they are not with us, they are out there," Don said.
Bev says she may be the only family member who no longer feels they are alive.
She recalled a dream she had back in December, telling her the family will be reunited, just not right now.
"Andrew crawled up in my lap on my big rocker where I held him many times and he would hug me and he said, 'Grandma we have been staying with Uncle Bob. We didn't know him very well but we know him now.' My brother passed away five years ago August. I feel that that was God telling me the boys are safe, they're just not safe here on Earth," Bev recalled.
The family wanted to remind the public of the $60,000 reward, but they have a message for the boys' father, John Skelton, who's in jail, charged with their kidnapping.
"I believe, John, that you know what you did with them. The hurt and the pain is already inflicted. You can't make it any worse by telling us where they're at," Bev said.
The family is relying on its faith to get through each day. But they feel it will be even harder this Sunday for the boys' mother, Tanya. She'll spend her first Mother's Day without her three boys.
MORENCI, Mich. -- Police removed evidence from the home of the father of three missing boys from Morenci.
John Skelton's three sons, Alexander, 9, Andrew, 7, and Tanner, 5, have been missing since November. They were last seen by their father on Thanksgiving Day.
Skelton, 39, faces three charges of parental kidnapping in the disappearance of his sons.
Officers removed dozens of items, including a noose, rope, bottles of bleach and clothing from Skelton's Morenci house.
Tom Berry, a retired veteran police officer, said the police took the items before anyone could try to destroy possible evidence.
"When they find these children, and I pray that they do as everybody else, they will be able to take the stuff they got in the home if somebody tries to destroy evidence," Berry said. "A lot of people will do bad things to clean up blood. Bleach is a real good deterrent to leaving evidence."
I agree, it doesn't sound promising at all. IMO, he killed them and disposed of the bodies. The plan to commit suicide was to buy him time.
I feel for the 3 boys, the family and the community. A friend of mine, his little girl has been sleeping with him and his wife since this happened...in fear that she will come up missing too. The community has been great though, and hold out for hope.
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment."
i will never forget the faces of these innocent trusting little boys. they hurt my heart. as the mother of 3 sons i can't comprehend this. you look at their little school pictures and see their sweetness.
