Has there been any update?
I'm not expecting any true updates, just the occasional repetition of what we already know. Reading between the lines of Skelton's various stories and examining the known evidence paints a pretty clear picture. Skelton strangled the boys in his home with pieces of rope and then drove the boys' bodies to Ohio where he left them in a dumpster. Because the boys are deep in a landfill, they won't be found. And Skelton won't confess. This case will be stuck in neutral until the State of Michigan decides to charge Skelton with murder despite not having located the bodies.No updates. The last news was of the 9th anniversary around Thanksgiving 2019.

I wonder how reliable this tip is considering how much time has passed. I don't even remember last Thanksgiving with any clarity let alone what cars or people I drove past nine Thanksgivings ago.
I won't be shocked if the boys are in the pond, but I will be surprised. Based on some of Skelton's earlier comments, I think he put the boys in a dumpster.
