I didn't hear any either. Wonder if the father confessed, and that is why the police are saying bodies? Maybe he told them where they were also?

Maybe so.
I can't even wrap my head around this...

'Imagine your worst nightmare'
Chief Weeks does not anticipate a positive outcome

MORENCI, Michigan - New developments in the search for the missing Morenci, Michigan brothers.

Larry Weeks, Morenci Police Chief, choked back tears as he explained to a gathering of media Tuesday morning, that he 'doesn't anticipate a positive outcome' when it comes to finding Alexander, Andrew and Tanner Skelton, last seen Friday afternoon.

Weeks says law enforcement organizations continue to work off evidence and information coming into them, including information provided by the boys' father, John Skelton. He remains in a local hospital under psychiatric care.

What specific information and evidence Weeks based his belief on is not being made public.

Weeks was asked if he knows the whereabouts of the boys, he responded that John Skelton has been 'forthcoming with information, but the credibility of that information is suspect and can't be verified.'

When asked of boys' mother's reaction about the possibility of them not being found alive, Weeks told reporters Tanya Skelton's reaction was 'imagine your worst nightmare come true.' He wouldn't comment any further.

The public is still being asked to call with information if they have seen the Skelton's family van, a blue 2000 Dodge Caravan. The vehicle is in possession of the Morenci Police Department, but may have been in the Williams and Fulton County Ohio areas Thursday or Friday.

Weeks also thanked Ohio law enforcement for their input and cooperation into the searches in Ohio Monday.

A number of areas is set to be searched Tuesday, but the chief would not elaborate.

5-year-old Tanner Skelton, 7-year-old Alexander Skelton, and 9-year-old Andrew Skelton have been missing since Thanksgiving evening.

Investigators are still hoping for tips to be called in to a hot line set up by Morenci police, 517-458-7104.

I promise.

I know this was discussed yesterday about the mom. I know the mom is a SO, but at the same time nobody should have that happen to their children. Just because I am disgusted by what mom did, I still feel sorry for this outcome, the children and the rest of the family didn't deserve this.

There has never been a suggestion that mom was not a good mom that loved her boys. Even the POS didn't claim anything ever happened to those boys. My prayers are with her.

I agree, I never read anything that she wasn't. My prayers are with her and the rest of the family

JUST IN: Police Don't See Positive End In Search
Morenci Police Continue To Search For Boys

MORENCI, Mich. -- A police chief says authorities "do not anticipate a positive outcome" in the search for three Michigan brothers who have been missing since their father's attempted suicide.

Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks told reporters Tuesday that searchers are continuing to look for 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton. The boys last were seen on Thanksgiving in their father's backyard.

Weeks says the assessment is based on information including statements from 39-year-old John Skelton. He says no decision has been made about whether to bring charges in the disappearance.

Police say John Skelton attempted suicide on Friday and is being treated at a hospital. He has not been ruled out as a suspect.

Morenci is about 75 miles southwest of Detroit.

Thanks Klaas.

It appears that John Skelton has revealed that Andrew, Alexander and Tanner are deceased.  I wish tatics could be used that would force this father to reveal where his sons remains can be located.

It appears that suspects are afforded more rights than the victims in the legal systems of the free world.

It has been strongly suspected from the getgo that this man was behind the disappearance of these precious little boys yet ... he had a legal right not to incriminate himself.  What if the boys had been alive but were at risk?  What if time was the essence in locating them?

I don't have a link, but was channel surfing and on HLN they were saying dad now has a lawyer.

Skelton, meanwhile, has hired an attorney. Harvey Koselka of Adrian could not be reached today, but his secretary confirmed he's handling legal work for Skelton.
