Investigation reveals tragic details about missing children in John Skelton case

A heart-wrenching testimony unfolded during the recent Probate Court hearing in Texas regarding the tragic case of missing children, as a mother recounted the harrowing events surrounding their disappearance. The mother, who remains unnamed for privacy reasons, detailed her frantic efforts to locate her three sons after their father, John Skelton, attempted suicide.

In a chilling revelation, the mother learned from a nurse that her husband had been hospitalized following his suicide attempt. She expressed her immediate concern for her children, who were reportedly with him at the time. "I asked if my sons were with him, and I was told no," she recalled, highlighting the confusion and fear that gripped her as she sought answers.

The situation escalated quickly, with law enforcement launching an Amber Alert and search parties mobilizing to find the boys. The mother described receiving updates from an FBI agent and a psychiatric doctor who provided support during this traumatic period. "There were obviously multiple search parties that were put out," she stated, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

As the investigation progressed, the mother learned that her children had specific medical needs, including asthma medications that were left behind at their home. Disturbingly, she discovered that personal items belonging to the children, such as coats and toothbrushes, were found at various locations, raising further questions about their whereabouts.

The emotional toll of the case was palpable as the mother recounted the moment she was informed by the FBI that her children were likely no longer alive. "I wanted to hold out hope that they were alive," she admitted, reflecting the deep anguish of a parent facing the unimaginable.

The case has since been transferred to the Michigan State Police, where Detective Sergeant Jeremy Brewer has taken a lead role. The mother described forming a close bond with Brewer, indicating the importance of support and communication during such a devastating ordeal.

As the court proceedings continue, the community remains hopeful for answers in this tragic case, while the mother’s testimony serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of familial loss and the desperate search for truth.
