We discuss the Scioto County Children’s Services failures that may have contributed to this heartbreaking case. Following Dylan’s death, the agency faced intense public scrutiny over its handling of his placement, missed home visits, failures to locate the child, and the decision not to issue an Amber Alert.

Two caseworkers were then charged. *BUSINESS INQUIRES ONLY* Are you a brand that wants to work with me?

The John Skelton case has taken a major turn in 2026 as the preliminary hearing into the disappearance and alleged murders of the missing Skelton brothers moves the case closer to trial. Andrew Skelton, Alexander Skelton, and Tanner Skelton disappeared in Morenci, Michigan, over Thanksgiving in November 2010, when they were just 9, 7, and 5 years old. In August and September 2026, a preliminary examination in Lenawee County brought new courtroom testimony, investigative evidence, witness statements, and renewed attention to one of Michigan’s most heartbreaking missing children cases. On September 3, a judge ruled that sufficient circumstantial evidence existed to send John Skelton to trial on three counts of open murder and three counts of tampering with evidence. The boys have never been found, and the case continues to raise critical questions about what happened in 2010 and where Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner may be. In this video, we cover the latest John Skelton court updates, the 2026 preliminary hearing, key witness testimony, the prosecution’s evidence, the defense’s arguments, previously unreleased 911 audio, and the next steps in the upcoming trial.

    Thanks to our sponsors: #sponsored Go to https://snhu.edu/brooke to explore over 200 online degree programs and find your path forward. The Kelsie Schelling case is one of Colorado’s most disturbing true crime cases. In February 2013, 21-year-old Kelsie Schelling disappeared after driving from Denver to Pueblo, Colorado, to meet her boyfriend, Donthe Lucas, while pregnant with his child. Years later, Lauren Suhr became involved in the investigation after contacting Lucas on Facebook and secretly building a romantic relationship with him in an effort to learn what he knew about Kelsie’s disappearance. Suhr ultimately provided investigators with important information about Lucas and Kelsie’s abandoned car, which was captured on surveillance footage. The investigation eventually led to Lucas being charged with murder, and in March 2021, he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. This video explores the disappearance of Kelsie Schelling, the evidence against Donthe Lucas, Lauren Suhr’s undercover relationship with the man suspected of killing Kelsie, the surveillance footage and car evidence, and the unanswered question of where Kelsie’s remains are today. *BUSINESS INQUIRES ONLY* Are you a brand that wants to work with me?
