MORENCI -- A small army of volunteers plans to mobilize for a sixth day to search around Morenci and across the border in Ohio for three missing Michigan brothers.

The search for nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner continues Thursday.  It's a day after their father, John Skelton, fought extradition in a Toledo, Ohio courtroom, to Michigan, where he faces three kidnapping charges.

The fate of the boys last seen on Thanksgiving has gripped those living in and around Morenci.  Hundreds have come to the small town 75 miles southwest of Detroit to volunteer.

An account has been set up at a local bank to take donations for the family, and an anonymous donor has offered a $10,000 reward for the return or recovery of the brothers.
