ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan man charged with murder in the Thanksgiving weekend disappearance of his three sons made his first appearance in court Monday, the latest turn in a saga that has unsettled a small town for 15 years.
John Skelton was taken to Lenawee County from a state prison. He was close to finishing a sentence for failing to return 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton to their mother on the day after Thanksgiving in 2010.
