Candlelight vigil for 3 missing boys

Morenci boys were last seen on Thanksgiving

MORENCI, Mich. (AP) - A candlelight vigil is planned in Morenci for three young southern Michigan brothers last seen at their father's home on Thanksgiving.

The Sunday night event is set for Wakefield Park.

Officials in Morenci say no organized search is planned over the weekend for 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton. Hundreds of police, fire officials and volunteers have been searching the past week in southern Michigan and northern Ohio.

Their father remains in a Toledo, Ohio, jail on a $3 million bond. Thirty-nine-year-old John Skelton declined Wednesday to waive extradition to Michigan on parental kidnapping charges.
