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.
