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.
