Mom of 3 Michigan boys missing nearly 5 years says she's now almost certain they're dead
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The mother of three Michigan boys missing since Thanksgiving 2010 says she now believes they're dead.
Tanya Zuvers says she's hanging on to a sliver of hope but she's almost certain they're dead.
The boys were last seen at their father's home in Morenci, near the Michigan-Ohio border. Tanner Skelton was 5, Alexander Skelton was 7 and Andrew Skelton was 9.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dad John Skelton pleaded no contest to unlawful imprisonment and is serving 10 to 15 years in prison. He maintains he didn't harm his children.
The boys' disappearance led to a large search in Ohio and Michigan. Investigators say they're still following up on new tips.
Zuvers tells The Blade (http://bit.ly/1RuXwEC ) newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, she knows she'll be reunited with her boys in heaven.
