When Custody Battles Turn Deadly
Hunting for three beautiful boys whose parents were in a nasty custody battle can turn deadly.
The Michigan police chief Larry Weeks is heading the investigation for three brothers who have been missing since Thanksgiving. The boys' father, John Skelton, has been arrested and is being held in an Ohio prison on three counts of parental kidnapping. Because he was arrested in Ohio, he will face an extradition hearing to be returned to Michigan, Weeks said.
The three boys were last seen last Thursday on Thanksgiving in the backyard of their father's southern Michigan home, about 12 miles from the Ohio-Michigan border.
The boys' father was in an Ohio hospital for several days receiving treatment for "mental health issues" after telling police he tried to hang himself, Weeks said. As soon as he was released he was arrested for kidnapping his own three sons.
