Skelton Faces New Murder Charges | Grand Rapids News

John Skelton, the father accused of murdering his three sons 16 years ago, now faces open murder charges just days before his scheduled release — a shocking twist after serving 15 years for unlawful imprisonment. His attorney, Bill Amadeo, fiercely denies any crime occurred, insisting there’s no body, no weapon, and that Skelton believes the boys are still alive — even calling for them to come forward. Amadeo also questions whether the new murder charges violate double jeopardy laws, as they stem from the same case. The boys vanished in 2010 during a Thanksgiving visit; despite nationwide searches, they’ve never been found, and their mother recently had them legally declared dead. A major hearing looms Monday — and this case is anything but over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
