A Michigan woman is seeking a court declaration to declare her three missing sons dead, nearly 15 years after they disappeared. The boys went missing after their father, John Skelton, did not return them to their mother after Thanksgiving in 2010. Skelton, the prime suspect in their disappearance, is expected to finish a 15-year prison sentence for not returning the boys to their mother.
The hearing, set to begin in Lenawee County, will feature testimony from Tanya Zuvers, the boys’ mother, and police investigators who have been working on the case for years. Despite extensive efforts to locate the boys, they have never been found.
The lawyer representing Zuvers has stated that she has been living with a broken heart since the disappearance and has been praying for closure. The court declaration of death could provide the family with closure and potentially allow them to pursue a wrongful death claim or other civil claim.
Skelton, who has provided conflicting and false information about the boys’ whereabouts, did not respond to a petition filed by Zuvers. Despite his claims that the boys were safe with an underground group, investigators believe they are deceased.
The disappearance of the Skelton brothers has haunted the small town of Morenci, with a plaque dedicated to them in a local park as a reminder of the ongoing search for answers. The hearing will shed light on the elaborate lies and false leads provided by Skelton, leading authorities on a wild goose chase for years.
