About this episode

Fifty stab wounds from her best friends: The murder of Skyler Neese Skyler Neese climbed out of her window on the night of July 6, 2012, to meet her two best childhood friends. She never returned home. What the security camera did not capture was that Celia Eddy and Rachel Shoaf would attack her in the woods with over 50 stab wounds, burying her body under rocks next to a stream in Pennsylvania. For months, both killers cried alongside their families and helped in the search as if they were innocent victims. In this episode, we explore how one night in August 2011—when Celia and Rachel were intimate while Skyler watched helplessly—triggered nine months of meticulous planning. We analyze Skyler's diary, the cell phone triangulation in the Blacksville woods that contradicts their stories, and Rachel's confession under psychological collapse that reveals knives, bleach, and prepared rags in the trunk. What real motive led Celia to be the main executor if the secret compromised Rachel more? Victim: Skyler Neese Date: July 6, 2012 Location: Blacksville, West Virginia Status: Case closed, convictions executed - Skyler voluntarily climbed out of her window at 12:30 AM, but her cell phone was triangulated in the woods, not at her home - Celia actively participated in the public search, going door to door, while being the instigator and main executor of the crime - Rachel confessed under a plea deal after psychiatric hospitalization, describing weapon preparation with forensic precision - Skyler's diary revealed a secret from August 2011 that she threatened to expose on Twitter, but only Rachel had a genuine motive to silence her Skyler Neese, Blacksville West Virginia murder, 2012, forensic investigation, criminal minds, teenage serial killer, unsolved mystery, suspense, premeditated homicide, true crime Tired of ads?
