These details are very disturbing. They show a precedence (twice in 1 week?), and now, unfortunately, since it's the 3rd time, persistence.
Meanwhile, court records show the boys' father fought bitterly to retain custody of them and took them in September to Florida when he announced plans to move them to Jacksonville, Fla. It was the same day his wife filed for divorce. A judge later ordered them returned to Michigan.
John Skelton sought sole custody of the kids, citing his wife's stay on the state's sex offender list for an illegal 1998 relationship with an underage boy. John Skelton was denied custody, but on Oct. 11 won parenting time every other weekend and every Wednesday.

so, with the new info about the divorce/custody stuff....the father did NOT kidnap them and take them to florida. They were legally married at the time, they were his children, he can take them anywhere he wants. It is still being said that he kidnapped them to florida but I guess he didn't if they were married at the time. I always thought that everyone saying he kidnapped them was bogus somehow cuz I would assume he would have been brought up on kidnapping charges then.
I'm wondering about the van again. I'm sure the dogs have been all over it. Obviously no blood. It's disconcerting that there have been no charges filed yet...even without bodies. It makes me wonder moreso than ever if he took these kids underground (I hope this is the case as that would mean they are alive)

Did the article say the dog was a trained SAR dog?? If not, I wonder why they aren't using SAR dogs?? I think it is very telling that LE has not listed this as a homicide investigation yet since they have custody of the van. I do not believe the boys were dead when they were placed in that van. God, I hate having these thoughts and I hate these kind of cases. So sad....![]()
I know nothing about going "underground" except from life time movies. In this day + age do they even still do that? Wouldn't he of needed proof They were in some kind of danger?
Something current and not from 12 years ago? Just asking cause I have no clue how someone would go about getting it done.

I think it would vary and depend totally on what sort of sincere wellmeaning but perhaps less than vigilant in checking facts sort of person was recruited??
