About This Episode
The podcast episode from Danske Drabssager tells the shocking story of Skylar Neese, a 16-year-old teenager from West Virginia who, on the night of July 6, 2012, snuck out of her home to meet up with her best friends Rachel Shoaf and Shelia Eddy.
Host Stine Bolther guides listeners through one of America's most disturbing teenage murder cases. Skylar thought she was heading out for a typical late-night drive with her friends, but instead she was lured deep into the woods, where the two girls attacked and killed her.
The case shook all of America when it emerged that the motive for the murder was shockingly trivial — the girls simply no longer wanted to be friends with Skylar. The episode covers both the investigation, which dragged on for months, Rachel Shoaf's breakdown and confession, and Shelia Eddy's cold manipulation.
The podcast delves into the dynamics between the three teenage girls, the warning signs that family and authorities overlooked, and how the two killers tried to carry on with their lives as normal while Skylar's family desperately searched for their daughter. A deeply tragic case of friendship, betrayal, and unimaginable cold-bloodedness.
