Summary
In this episode, Hope revisits one of the most heartbreaking missing children cases in recent history: the disappearance of the Skelton brothers — Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner — who vanished over Thanksgiving weekend in 2010. Host Hope Hooton walks listeners through the chilling timeline leading up to their disappearance, the deeply troubled family situation surrounding the case, and the emotional aftermath that has lingered for more than a decade. Recently, a major development has shaken the case: new murder charges filed against the boys’ father, John Skelton. This episode explores what these charges mean, how we arrived here, and why continued awareness is critical. You’ll hear about: The last known days before the boys went missing The complicated family dynamics and contradictory accounts How the community mobilized and continues to honor the boys The family's enduring pain and unwavering hope The significance of the newly filed charges and the impact on the investigation This episode is both a remembrance and a call to action. We urge listeners to share this story, keep the memory of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner alive, and continue spreading awareness. Anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, is encouraged to come forward. Because their names — and their story — should never be forgotten. TRIGGER WARNING This podcast contains deeply disturbing content, including firsthand accounts from parents and family members who have lost children to familicide—the murder of a child by a parent or caregiver. The stories are raw, emotional, and include details of immense loss, system failures, and trauma. Listeners are advised to take care, and may pause or stop the podcast if needed.
