Father accused of murdering missing Skelton brothers appeared in court today -- Here’s what happened

John Skelton appeared in court via Zoom, charged with the murder of his three sons who disappeared 15 years ago. The boys, aged 9, 7, and 5, vanished in November 2010 after spending Thanksgiving with Skelton amid a custody dispute. Skelton claimed he handed them to an underground group to protect them from their mother, but no evidence of such a group exists. Despite extensive searches, the boys remain missing, and Skelton now faces open murder charges, with a probable cause conference rescheduled for December 17.
