John Skelton, who had been receiving treatment for an attempted suicide at a mental health facility since Thanksgiving, was taken into custody by the FBI immediately following his release, Police Chief Larry Weeks told reporters.
His children - Andrew, 9; Alexander, 6; and Tanner, 5 - have been missing since Thursday, when they were last seen in their father's backyard.
Though investigators were initially hopeful, Weeks said police no longer believe the boys are alive.
"Statements [Skelton] made to investigators indicate it's not going to be a positive outcome," he said in a press conference.
