Man accused of killing 3 sons years ago gets $60M bond
John Skelton faces $60 million bond on six counts after nearly 15 years, with authorities seeking justice for his three sons legally declared dead earlier this year.
- On Nov. 17, John Skelton was arraigned in Lenawee County's 2A District Court on three open murder and three tampering counts, and a judge set his bond at $60 million.
- Previously, John Skelton pleaded no contest in 2011 to unlawful imprisonment and had been serving a 10-15 year sentence, with Nov. 29, 2025, scheduled prison release.
- Investigators reported finding John Skelton's home destroyed and phone records placed him in Ohio the day after the boys vanished, while his shifting claims about their whereabouts proved false.
- A court schedule now lists a probable cause hearing on Nov. 24 and a preliminary examination on Dec. 1; Tanya Zuvers and family asked for privacy and thanked investigators.
- Though the boys remain missing, Lenawee County Judge Catherine Sala declared them legally dead this year but noted insufficient evidence for murder, and authorities urged tips to Michigan State Police or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
