The Tragic Story of Skylar Neese, Brutally Murdered by her Best Friends
The reason for her wicked slaying? ‘We didn’t like her anymore.’
Skylar Neese was a sixteen-year-old girl who lived in Star City, a sleepy town in West Virginia. Skylar was the only child of parents David and Mary, so was often described as ‘spoilt rotten.’ In terms of academia, Skylar was a high achiever, excelling in almost every subject, including those she disliked.
Since being a toddler, Skylar’s best friend was a girl named Morgan Lawrence. The two were inseparable for most of Skylar’s early life, and the two families were extremely close as a result. Though the two slowly drifted apart as Skylar made new friends, Morgan insists to this day that the two would have always been ‘sisters.’
Skylar’s other best friend, Sheila Eddy, was also an only child, and the two entered freshman year together. It was around this time that a new girl named Rachael Shoaf joined the school, and the three became joined at the hip, often referred to as ‘The Three Musketeers’.
The trio gained a ‘rowdy’ reputation; they often snuck out after curfew, went to parties, drank, and did drugs. Their friendship was extensively documented on social media, mostly Twitter, on which the three girls were extremely active.
