UPDATE: 12:15 p.m. 10/18/2011 - FROM MONTGOMERY CO. POLICE
Today, Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger has announced that this morning, at approximately 9:11 a.m., a Montgomery County Police Department K-9 handler and a volunteer K-9 handler from the Mid-Atlantic D.O.G.S. Search and Rescue located the body of a young, African-American male off of Clarksburg Road about a quarter mile west of Frederick Road in Clarksburg, MD. The body is believed to be that of William McQuain.
Due to surveillance video that detectives obtained during the course of the investigation, police now believe that McQuain’s body has been in this location since October 1, 2011. The surveillance video, obtained from a self-storage facility located in the 13200 block of Wisteria Drive in Germantown, showed William McQuain and Curtis Lopez entering and re-entering a storage unit during the morning of October 1. At that time, William McQuain appeared to be in a playful mood and showed no signs of distress. The clothing that William McQuain was wearing in the video is similar to the clothing found on the body that was located today in Clarksburg.

This strange story unraveled just after Thanksgiving when three little boys went missing about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. Their father, John Skelton, 39, told police he handed his children, 5-year-old Tanner, 7-year-old Alexander and 9-year-old Andrew off to a woman named Joann Taylor. In December, Skelton said he gave the children to someone from “an organization.”
Skelton appeared again in court Friday, this time for a hearing relating to his divorce. The judge asked Skelton if he was prepared to turn the boys over to their mother, and Skelton answered, “I can’t.” Investigators have said they are not expecting a positive outcome in this case.
1) Who reported the children missing? The boys were reported missing by their mother, Tanya, the day after Thanksgiving when their father didn’t return them home.
2) Does the mystery woman exist? Police say there’s a good chance “Joann” does not exist, even though Skelton claims he met her on the Internet four years ago. Skelton also claims he tried to commit suicide before handing the children off, but authorities are doubting that story as well.
