According to sources, John Skelton had tried to commit suicide on Friday. Larry Weeks said that till now from whatever hints they have been able to gather from their investigations, it is most likely that the children are not alive any more. They are suspecting their father to be the reason behind the kidnapping case. John Skelton said that before trying to end his life on Friday, he did not want his kids to be with him. According to him, the last time they were with him, after that the children were given to a female acquaintance by him, whom he had asked to take the three kids to their mother.
