John Skelton, the father of three missing boys, is going be charged with three counts of parental kidnapping in connection with their disappearance, police said today.
Skelton was released today from the Fulton County (Ohio) Health Center and taken into custody by FBI agents out of Toledo, said Morenci, Mich., police chief Larry Weeks.
The charges are from Lenawee County, so Skelton will be have to be extradited from the Lucas County Jail in Toledo where he will be held.
Williams County, Ohio, central dispatch, which covers the Holiday City area just off the Ohio Turnpike, said that reports on Facebook.com that the bodies of the children had been found there were false. Authorities are investigating that posting, the dispatch reported.

I'm slightly confused as to why he is being charged with kidnapping in Michigan. It would seem as though they wouldn't have been technically kidnapped until he took them into Ohio. People are charged where the crime occured....why would they charge him in Michigan for federal kidnapping (only federal when crossing state lines) and searching for the boys in Ohio???
