Father of 3 Missing Boys Arraigned on New Charges

ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) - A southern Michigan man whose three young sons have been missing since Thanksgiving has been arraigned on additional charges in the case.

Thirty-nine-year-old John Skelton was arraigned in Lenawee County District Court on Friday on charges including kidnapping that were added last month. The (Toledo) Blade reports a hearing in the case is scheduled for March 28.

The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press say bond was set at $90 million.

The Morenci resident has said he doesn't know the whereabouts of 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner, who last were seen with him.

He told authorities he gave the boys to organizations that authorities say they can't locate.

Police in the town near the Ohio border are treating the case as a homicide investigation.
