The city of Morenci gathered Sunday night and lit up the town with candles, flashlights and Christmas lights, hoping to illuminate the way home for Andrew, Alexander and Taylor Skelton.
“We’ve been visited by darkness here and we don’t understand it,” said Donna Galloway, pastor of the Morenci United Methodist Church, where the boys and their family are members. “But as we light these lights tonight, be assured that the boys see the light.”
Missing since Thanksgiving, the boys had been with their father, John Skelton, who has since been charged with parental kidnapping and is being held in the Lucas (Ohio) County Jail.
Several hundred town residents converged on Wakefield Park in the small southern Michigan town to share their fading hopes and grief over the fate of the boys.
“I still had hope on Thursday,” said Jim Walker, 57, of Wauseon, Ohio, who helped search for the boys in woods and fields three days last week. “Now I’m not so sure.”
