Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll. I took this week off but am bringing you a special episode. Jules Thorpe is here with Season Two of Missing in Hush Town!

Fifteen years after her 11-year-old Bethany Markowski vanished without a trace, her mother - Jonnie Carter’s phone rings. The number is one she knows all too well - the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Missing Children’s Unit. Every call brings the possibility of hope … or heartbreak.

A baseball, Mose Gingrich, and a pre-programmed cellphone.

After the disappearances of nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton, their father, 39-year-old John Skelton kept changing his story.

After investigators proved that Joann Taylor didn’t exist, John kept changing his story, even from behind bars.

Over a decade passed when the boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, petitioned the court to have her sons declared legally dead. Days before John Skelton was to be released from prison, a shocking announcement was made.

If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.

Three missing boys, a noose, and a woman named Joann Taylor.

In the fall of 2010, 43-year-old Tanya Skelton and 39-year-old John Skelton were going through a bitter divorce.

Caught in the middle were their three boys: nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton.

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday while the boys were with John Skelton, they mysteriously vanished. John claimed the boys were with a woman named Joann Taylor, but investigators could find no proof that Joann Taylor ever existed.

If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.
