MORENCI, Mich. (AP) — Police say the father of three missing Michigan boys has been charged with parental kidnapping.

Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks says John Skelton was arrested by FBI agents after he was released Tuesday from a medical facility in Lucas County, Ohio.

Weeks says 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton still have not been found. They were last seen with their father on Thanksgiving in Morenci, a town on the Michigan-Ohio border, 75 miles southwest of Detroit.

Weeks says it’s unlikely they will be found alive.
