Missing Skelton boys: Have you seen this blue minivan? Michigan boys missing since 2010
Investigators believe John Skelton was behind the wheel of this blue minivan on Nov. 26, 2010, the day his three sons went missing. (WDIV)
In the early hours of Black Friday 2010, John Skelton took a drive from his home in Morenci, Mich. south into Ohio.
It's believed he made a stop in Holiday City, which is just a few miles south of the Michigan-Ohio border. He was behind the wheel of the family’s blue minivan.
Investigators believe this may have been the last car ride Alexander, Andrew and Tanner Skelton ever took. The boys have been missing ever since that holiday weekend in 2010 .
Based on cellphone tower records, police say John Skelton’s drive -- possibly the drive to dispose of his young boys -- started at or about 4:29 a.m. and ended around 6:46 a.m. It’s there, inside that window, where police believe John Skelton said goodbye to his kids -- possibly forever.
If you remember seeing this van or John Skelton that morning, please call 517-636-0689.
