A candlelight vigil was held in Adrian for three young Michigan brothers who were last seen on Thanksgiving in the care of their now-jailed father.

Several dozen people braved the cold weather during Thursday evening's gathering at the Trestle Park band shell about 10 miles north of the boys' hometown of Morenci.

Nine-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner have not been seen since Thanksgiving when they were at their father's home in Morenci, a small town on the Michigan-Ohio border. Police and volunteers have searched on both sides of the state line

John Skelton is in the Lenawee County jail on parental kidnapping charges. Police say he's made false claims about turning the boys over to another woman.
