Television station WDIV in Detroit is reporting that John Skelton, the father of three missing boys from Morenci, Michigan has pleaded no contest to three charges of unlawful imprisonment in Lenawee County Circuit Court.

Andrew, 9, Alex, 7 and Tanner Skelton, 5, have been missing since Thanksgiving day when they did not return with their father from a court-ordered visit.
John Skelton has maintained that his boys are safe and were given to an underground sanctuary group and that he does not know their whereabouts.   Hundreds of people have searched areas southern Michigan and northern Ohio with no results.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Skelton is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 15 and could receive up to 15 years in prison.
