==Events==
On November 26, 2010, John picked up the boys for a court-ordered visit. It was the last time Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton were seen by their mother and the rest of their family. Authorities later found him alone in his house after he attempted suicide, but the three boys were nowhere to he found.


John initially claimed that he placed his sons in the care of an acquaintance of his, a woman named Joann Taylor. Police found John attempting to commit suicide but prevented him from doing so. Further investigation turned up no sign of the boys nor any evidence that they were in the care of a "Joann Taylor", or that she even existed.
