The tragic murder of four-month-old Dylan Groves in Scioto County, Ohio, shocked the nation and became a heartbreaking true crime case involving his parents, Jessica Groves and Daniel Groves. In this documentary, we examine the disturbing events surrounding baby Dylan’s death, the investigation into his parents, the discovery of his body in a well, and the courtroom proceedings that followed. We discuss the Scioto County Children’s Services failures that may have contributed to this heartbreaking case. Following Dylan’s death, the agency faced intense public scrutiny over its handling of his placement, missed home visits, failures to locate the child, and the decision not to issue an Amber Alert. Executive Director Dr. Lorra Fuller was placed on administrative leave pending an independent investigation. Two caseworkers were then charged. *BUSINESS INQUIRES ONLY* Are you a brand that wants to work with me?

The John Skelton case has taken a major turn in 2026 as the preliminary hearing into the disappearance and alleged murders of the missing Skelton brothers moves the case closer to trial. Andrew Skelton, Alexander Skelton, and Tanner Skelton disappeared in Morenci, Michigan, over Thanksgiving in November 2010, when they were just 9, 7, and 5 years old. In August and September 2026, a preliminary examination in Lenawee County brought new courtroom testimony, investigative evidence, witness statements, and renewed attention to one of Michigan’s most heartbreaking missing children cases. On September 3, a judge ruled that sufficient circumstantial evidence existed to send John Skelton to trial on three counts of open murder and three counts of tampering with evidence. The boys have never been found, and the case continues to raise critical questions about what happened in 2010 and where Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner may be. In this video, we cover the latest John Skelton court updates, the 2026 preliminary hearing, key witness testimony, the prosecution’s evidence, the defense’s arguments, previously unreleased 911 audio, and the next steps in the upcoming trial.
