In Michigan, a report of three missing boys has been dispatched since Saturday, after their father tried to hang himself. John Skelton the father, told the police that he left his boys with a woman named Joann Taylor who he met online and that she was supposed to drop the kids off at his wife’s house so that they would not be with him during his suicide attempt.
However, he survived his attempt and is now in a mental health facility for recuperation. His children and Ms Taylor however are nowhere to be found. She was supposed to take the boys to their mothers home in Morenci but they never came home and Tanya Skelton, the mother of the three boys reported them missing after they didn’t return home on time.
The boys ; 5 year old Tanner, 7 year old Alexander and 9 year old Alexander are being searched frantically by hundreds of volunteers, the police are also handling a search with dogs, two airplanes and FBI behavioural science experts.
Some experts fear that the story John gave wasn’t true and that ‘Joann Taylor’ might be a fabrication which adds panic to the situation, as many fear a murder-suicide attempt, that he might have killed his children and attempted suicide instead.
About 200 people from Michigan and Ohio gathered at Morenci United Methodist Church to attend a vigil for the missing boys, according to the Detroit News.
