imagine killing someone so your "secrets" don't get out then going to court and it all get exposed anyways because of your own actions.
completely pointless death...
And they find out that you are a psychopath too.
That's what those 2 stupid evil girls get! Also killing poor Skylar was pointless because the secret is out. Smh!
To 1000x the audience at that.
This actually happens all the time in murder cases. "Murders someone so they dont get caught....oh shit got caught murdering someone and now ALL my dirty laundry is vastly public"
"You ruined my life" said Rachel to her parents. NO RACHEL you ruined many lives including your own!!! You took Syler's life for NOTHING!! You ruined her parents' and family lives, her friends, and by doing that you ruined your family's lives. as did Sheila!!! I cannot even imagine how Skyler's parents were coping through all of this. Being an only child, she must have been their whole world!!! RIP Skyler. Even though this was a while ago, my thoughts are with her parents.
I dont think Rachel is reading this.
It's been a decade since they lost their daughter, too. I can imagine that the pain only worsened for the parents who had to watch Skylar's friends graduate high school, go off to college/university, get into their careers, get married or have families of their own. Skylar would be twenty-six if she had managed to survive the attack against her.
If she had stuck with her plans of becoming a lawyer, Skylar would most likely be in her first or second year of practise. Absolutely heart wrenching that her life was ended before she could reach her potential... even more tragic when you consider that she didn't have a chance to even realise that potential.
@@solidfkingsnake Rachel doesn't need to read this. She should already realise it.
@@TiffWaffles obviously missed my point.
@@TiffWaffles i deadass respect the honesty lol
They aren't normal. Teenagers don't just think about killing a friend they dislikes. Evil especially Sheila.
They were narcissists/psychopaths, sadly on the increase too.
@@paulhaywood1615 SMH
That’s all??? Use all the words or terms you’d use if they were not WHITE
The real reason was Rachel and Sheila's lesbian Relationship "secret", they were afraid that Skylar would tell anyone and out them, which is pretty pathetic
It is so infuriating to see their mug shot, or Department of Corrections ID photos showing them with curled and done-up hair, makeup, smiling like these are vacation photos!! I'm sure they are having the time of their lives which takes so much from the justice Skylar deserves. There is no such thing as "rehabilitation" for these truly evil MONSTERS.
Folie a deux... the madness of two
Why didn't they get life or execution
They weren’t psychotic though. Just evil.
Why shouldn't they be smiling? They didn't do anything wrong. Monsters like this never consider their deeds as evil.
@@davidcox3076 You had me in the first half not gonna lie.
This case is so very heart wrenching,, ‘Skylar’s parents are the sweetest couple and Skylar their only child. Watching her walk out and get into that car reminded me so much of Shannan Watts walking in her front door. Neither of them knew the people they thought were their protectors, would kill them brutally just hours later.
I kept up to date with the Skylar Neese and Shannan Watts cases- with the latter it was all the way through the court system. Watching video evidence of Skylar walking out to that car was heartbreaking. She was only sixteen and didn't understand that she was walking straight into the arms of death. The video of Shannan Watts had the same affect on me. She was walking into HER house!
ehh... Shannan Watts was a bad mother and an obvious narcissist.... I ain't saying she deserved death but, I understand why/ how that dumb guy allowed his mind to go to such places.....
@@TiffWaffles you are more in danger walking into your own home, and who you bring around you near your home. I promise you that.
Not the same. Nobody thought those girls were protectors.
Totally - it is eerie to watch. If only we could warn them. That poor parents- losing a child is really bad, (my brother died young) but to have a child murdered, is horrific, it is even worse when it turns out to be her 'friends'. I doubt they will ever get over the shock. My heart goes out to them.
I appreciate you being here for those of us that aren't asleep when we should be, Thank You
2am here
1:19 here in Colorado! Hi Jiles! Thank you from all insomniacs who adore This Is Monsters! Another great video! 👍
It posted at 3am for me
@@cashette lol 3 am in this bitch
Just finished it at 4 am in Indiana
I remember this case as it was unfolding. No one could have prepared me to eventually find out that her two “best friends” had brutally butchered her. Of course it took what felt like years for the whole thing to unfold, it was just completely unbelievable. This has been the best telling of this story, very organized and I learned multiple things I didn’t know even though I followed the case as it happened. Very well done
Sheila Eddy is psychopathic.
Tara Eddy is pure evil 😈
I was a little disappointed at the title because I’ve seen too many videos on and thought I knew the entire story but learned several new things myself.
Well you just convinced me to stay and listen because I've heard this story before too, it's heartbreaking. And I didn't think I wanted to hear it again, but you just convinced me, I should stay. God bless and protect us all from evil.
@@ginger7344 yet we all keep coming back for more 😄
Yup this is Monsters always, always manage to have so much more new information on a any giving case he covers!! I've heard this quite a few times from different channel/True crime people. Somehow anytime *this is Monsters* tells the story he tells the story. He leaves no stones uncovered. He's awesome.
This case is beyond disturbing. It makes absolutely no sense to me..."We didn't like her anymore." Real Monsters..so scary 🥺
I didn’t like her anymore either
I believe it was jealousy, probably viewed her as a threat. She’s pretty, nice, has a good family , helping others ..
It wasnt that simple though. Skylar made it publicly known she had their secrets and could ruin them.
Rachel and Sheila def had a sexual relationship.
Is your name a play off the violent femmes? Thanks for reminding me of them. Havent listened them in ages.
@@oscopin74 Yep 👏
It's so bizarre. When I was a teenager my idea of treating people that I don't like was to tell my parents that I'm not at home when they called or came. Killing someone or even hurt them didn't even cross my mind, it was something from another world.
Lying is rather foul and cowardly. I do not admire big liars. Rather. Thus thou were not correct thyself.
There's nothing worse than losing your child, I'm a mother of a murdered child. This brings me back to my loss. So heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this. My deepest sympathy for Skylars parents.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Thank you for your bravery in sharing your tragedy as well. I hope you have some peace.
Deepest condolences. I couldn't imagine. A good friend of mine had her daughter murdered in Seattle. Best wishes
I’m so sorry this happened. I pray ur ok
So sorry for your loss. Wishing you happiness and joy.
As far as Rachel and Sheila were concerned, two's company, three's a crowd. I just hope that they both spend the rest of their days festering in jail, they don't deserve to be let out.
I agree.
No, they’re too young. They deserve another chance.
@@GradKat absolutely agree, as awful as the crime there must be hope of redemption for any human. Imagine the anguish of the parent's of the girls who killed here.
@@tariq_sharif fuck that, they killed her not only killed her they pretend that they were still friends with her all while plotting to kill her a girl who's been friends with her since she was a child...thats the worst kinda murderer someone who can get close to the ones they should care about and STILL kill them and still smirk in their mugshot
@@GradKat absolutely
What gets me is the fact those two were smiling in their mug shots 😳
A lot of women do this. They think it’s a glamour shot. Narcissistic tendencies.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Little psychos!
Yes, 😡😡😡
Duping delight, pair of narc freaks.
Sheila did her hair! It's crazy
This is a well known case & has been covered numerous times. So, I was surprised to learn new details this time. But, I shouldn't be because you're so good at digging deep to get the full story. Thank you for your hard work!
Same here lol, heard about the case numerous times on other channels. However there's always a surprise here. Love it.
I just commented the same thing and didn't read your comment yet. Goes to show how good this guy really is
Me too, I heard a few things I hadn't on any other channels that have covered it
This uploader is just completely dense and has zero idea about police procedure. Does he have any idea how expansive a missing person investigation is??
Its a grid by grid search, cadaver dogs are brought in, aviation is notified, hospitals are checked, news stations are notified, every patrol officer and neighboring cities are notified and a million other things are done.
It takes so much man power and resources and the reason u don’t do it right away because out of 10,000 missing teenagers 9,999 of them are not actually missing and you’re not gonna go through such lengths immediately if a teenager (who has no mental problems and suicidal ideations) willingly goes into someone else’s car.
How hard is that to understand. But hey why would actual facts matter when u just whine at the police right away. Immediately unsubbed
@@smartyjonez5470 you are the dense one here. So a 15 year old child gets into someone’s car she’s not missing? Police get to decide who’s missing and who’s not? 15 year old child gets into a car at midnight breaking curfew and never comes home. That’s enough for police to say she’s not missing she’s perfectly safe? I hope none of ur young family member goes through this can’t imagine having you as a loved one. It’s ok they got into a car they r not missing go work on other peoples missing cases that you might think is more important. Get out of here no one cares you Unsubbed. Bye
It’s crazy how they butchered their “bestie” and went about life like nothing happened. That seriously blows my mind.
Nah that's not what happened. I guarantee you they were both sweating with anxiety the whole time until they let the truth out.
Maybe. But. Totally willing to try
Dave Neese is the kind of dad everybody needs. My heart hurts for him every time I come across Skylar's case and hear Dave give his first-hand account of every parent's worst nightmare. They seemed like such a close and loving and happy family.
This case still haunts most of us here in WV. No one could have imagined Skylars friends had murdered her. It's still hard to believe that 2 teens could be so..evil. it's a scary world we live in. Great coverage on this case 👏
Am in eastern Kentucky definitely remember this have relatives in WV.
Horrifying case but very well covered and researched wasn't it. Really getting into this channel at the moment
As someone that age and from the area, would it really be a big deal at all for high school kids to find out that 2 hot girls got drunk and fooled around one time? I never did buy that as any kind of motive.
@@Bubba__Sawyer exactly, and they weren't discreet about it either. Shelia made out with a girl at a party once in front of a crowd.
I can, they white 😆
This Is Monsters’ / Somewhere Sinister’s creator is currently the hardest working true-crime guy on YT. Gotta love the work ethic. And you can always count on him to supply added detail to stories you might have heard before. This is one of my new favorite channels.
I hope he’s doing good because chances are he can’t monetize these videos because RUclips is rediculous doing this work in general is impressive for free is absolutely god like
“This is Monsters” and “That Chapter: are 2 of my favourite true crime channels,
@@Soffity glad you mentioned Mikey. He's a beast.
And Dreading!
@@nathansaidak605 is good too.
Jcs, dreading, scary mysteries, ask a mortician.....there's a lot of great content out there.
I really like your “ Intros ,” they always up my curiousness want to learn the whole story. Teenage drama turned deadly, poor Skylar, who’d ever think friends would do horrendous acts such as Shiela and Rachel did. Premeditated, evil, sickening, 2 on 1, no mercy for Skylar. I feel so bad for Skylar’s family, they had no idea how much danger their little girl was in, it must have been such a shock finding out that it was Sheila and her “ friend “ who did this. Evil truly knows no age.
Well done 👍 another great seg.
👍🇨🇦
I agree 100%
This one was particularly good 👍🏽
Youre a bot
I can't believe I had tears in my eyes so soon into the narrative when you said her mother was trying to keep her dad from panicking, and then you show us the picture of little Skylar with dad.
Poor father, I cannot imagine what this even feels like.
RIP sweet soul
Hoping the parents and praying they find some kind of peace 🙏❤️
This happened where I live, am from. It still is talked about, discussed. It took a toll on the entire community. We may be hillbillies but we support our neighbors and protect each others kids. This was heartbreaking.
How are Skylar’s parents doing? I saw them pleading for help to find Skylar. 💔💔💔
This one gets me every time. They were surely monsters.
I can’t believe that young teen girls actually fantasized about killing a once good friend and than actually followed through with it! I can see people that are angry at an individual, thinking about harming them but to actually go through with it, is what makes them 👹MONSTERS👹
@@apemancommeth8087 they're white, so I can imagine them doing that
They should be locked for life
@@n.b.l.5709what ? Cause they are white ? What kinda racist crap is that ?
I've heard of this story before but never this detailed. Thank you for always diving deep into these cases and painting the whole picture for us.
This is the best coverage of this case I've ever seen. RIP Skylar 💔
I’ve seen a lot of your videos now, and I wanted to say that you did a particularly nice job with this one. I actually got a lot of information that wasn’t in any of the other videos I have seen over time since this horrific case happened. You probably have a team but if you’re making all these solo that’s even more impressive. Nice job and I really respect the work you put in. I also really respect the selflessness of placing contact information for anyone suffering from any abuse at the end of your video’s. People suffering from abuse often feel stuck and sometimes they end up becoming “unalived” and another tragic true crime story. Anyone who reads this that is suffering abuse, please know there is FREE and legit and discrete help out there and you really should take it. You only live ONE TIME and you really can and should absolutely get help leaving a monster.
As a mum with a young daughter, and someone who found being friends with other girls difficult, this story absolutely terrifies me.
To think Skylar was lured to her death by 2 ppl she had been best friends with is horrific.
Just look at those mug shots - both smirking, undoubtedly proud of their actions and the way they messed with everyone, including Dave and Mary, just sickens me.
Never release them, they don’t deserve the life that they denied Skylar. RIP sweet girl
Their smirking is the worst.
@@judyannstreich7499 absolutely. I believe Sheila Eddy wrote a tweet during the investigation that read ‘We really did go on 3’. Just breathtakingly disgusting. I hope they both rot.
Life!!!!
I rather they be executed
Duping delight.
I honestly understand why Skylar kept being friends with Them even though they treated her so badly. In middle and high school I had frenemies who would spread rumors about me, play tricks on me, put things online about me, you name it. I kept being nice to them and going places with them because of naivety, “if I keep showing them how to behave then they will change”. Eventually they started writing things like “Just die already”, made a website telling me to kill myself and told other people rumors that made them attack me in the halls. But when I confronted them, it was all smiles. I believed them and now that they would have loved it if I did kill myself or wound up dead. It would have fed their egos. They act like they hate you but when you start to pul away and hang out with someone else, they lure you back in. They would act like they missed me and we would have a week of fun then something would happen and I would be miserable. Idk why but I feel like part of me wants to know why Sheila and Rachel did this to find closure. Skylar’s family deserves it
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I hate head games like that and I remember it from middle school too. I'm glad you rose above it! :)
You’re probably messed up in the head to this day and don’t even know it. No one should be cool with being treated that way
Narcississts don't give a sh-t about anyone but themselves. Ever. No matter what
DYipiwqwwe st eater I see aate red ar
I see it in the morning morning

What’s even more terrifying? Knowing that Rachel’s parole hearing is NEXT SPRING!
Its 2023 now..but Rachel's payroll was denied weeks ago in May.
@@joshapple6905 Yep. I saw that. Thank god.
@@joshapple6905 I silently celebrated. But 2028 worries me.....
Are you kidding me😲😲😲
@@elainehenderson6715 Yeah. But thank god it was denied.
I’ve heard this story a couple times but you never fail to reveal new fact, like the sex and more about the relationships
Same. I heard about the sex and the relationship but not in the detail that he told it here. And I never heard about the fight at the house and it being in skylars diary etc.
@@goudagrishhdoe8925 i never knew the backstories of the parents, that was fun to hear!
I've noticed a lot of true crime doesn't like to discuss when there is same sex romantic/sexual relationships. It's a double standard because they will discuss even kids of the opposite sex having none platonic relations. I'm sure it's some sort of prejudice, like thinking it's an insult to suggest they weren't straight, when the real insult is treating it as a taboo subject too salacious to discuss, in relation to true crime & murder for hecks sake!
@@NotAnotherKuromi it could also be because it's not the reason they killed her. she saw them have sex in august 2011, they killed her in july 2012, why would they wait almost a year to kill her? wouldn't they have to do it pretty quickly?
Hearing her father talk about Skylar always makes me cry, so sad.
I’m so glad you covered this case. This story infuriates me sooooo much!!!!!
Dude, you are killing it. I love this channel. Your commentary makes me laugh out loud at times and wince in disgust at others. Always respectful to the victims. 11/10
I really love it. Just found this channel over the last few days.
@@davidbrightwell6032 I've been a fan for maybe a year now? But even subscribed I sometimes miss episodes because they release so frequently. This channel rocks.
Just found it not too long ago. I was actually surprised I wasn't already subbed. Great true crime channel.
Agreed! Love this channel 🤘
I’ve always found it baffling when there’s more than one person involved in a horrific crime or any crime, there’s never a voice of reason. There’s never someone listing the cons, possibility of prison, possibly being killed themselves. It’s always go along with it 🙄
I've learnt that people seek out those that will agree..... they don't want to hear reason
Shelia wrote on social media "we really did go on 3" totally remorseless.
I've seen this story before. My heart breaks for Skyler's Dad. You can see his pain and hear it in his voice. What a horrible act, she had her whole life ahead of her. The two should NEVER get out of prison imo. Just aweful.
Truly shocking case. The fact they both actually went through with committing murder because they didn't like her and she knew some personal information about them. There are people who know some personal things about me from my past that I would rather never see the light of day but I wouldn't consider murdering them. Utterly heinous.
What if they expose your personal information? What would you do then?

Did you wake up on wrong side of the bed... 😂 proper negative Nancy.
Being the mom of 2 now almost grown girls, this case never ceases to terrify the bejesus out of me! My youngest daughters friends decided they hated her the day before graduation… they were her 2 best friends since they were 9. They’d often ganged up on her before this., and each time she made up with them, this case would come to my head. I’m forever grateful that nothing more awful transpired bc of these 2 brats!
Thats scary.
Your daughter sounds like she's tender hearted. And they could hurt her
Hopefully she'll make better friends at college or work. Girls can be vicious when they team up against someone.
Teenage girls are so fu(king stupid sometimes. Your daughter's friends, obviously.
Who are you calling "monsters", your daughter's friends or Sheila&Rachel? If the latter, is there smthg more awful they could've done?
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian I got sidetracked while writing my comment, and edited it now.. I was thinking about how often I’d worried about her friends being like those 2 monsters! (Sheila and Rachel) there were a lot of similarities in the case that would scare me. My daughters ex-friends were mean, and bitter, and often bullies, but I’m grateful she stopped taking them back as her friends. I think sheila was the worse of the 2.., but Rachel could’ve stopped this at any time! It’s scary how adolescents are sometimes capable of doing things in pairs or groups that they would most likely never do alone!
Wow the fact it’s only been 5 minutes in and you have already told me more new details that I’ve never heard before is amazing ! Your passion and dedication really does show through your work
I grew up in this town, and remember when this happened. When the girls were out on bail I ran into one of them at the grocery store. I never knew her, but we went to the same high school. Her dad knew my stepdad, and she was acting like she was just a totally normal person at Krogers. It was surreal. She just stood there and had a conversation like everyone there didn't know she was a murderer.
That must have been so surreal!
holy shit
Shelia? Because she's the only one who'd be out since Rachel turned herself in, and I think Shelia would be the only one arrogant to do this.
That's fucking crazy tho!
MY HOME AS WELL (I'M IN WV, CABELL COUNTY)
That reminds me of the Jason Sweeney case in Philly in the early 2000s where 3 teens lured Sweeney to a river spot in Fishtown with the promise of sex from the female that was with them and they brutally murdered him with rocks and a hatchet. The media made it seem like the whole plan was to rob Jason of $450 because he had just gotten paid that day. So i had gotten into some pretty wild trouble around the time i was 18 got arrested and due to some crazy circumstances, i ended up on the same block at PICC on State Rd as Eddie Batzig who was the ring leader that night. Well to make a long story short, i unwittingly made "friends" with him and one day he opened up to me what really happened that night and explained to me that they loved doing dope and committed so many crimes in the year leading up to that night including armed robbery and other ish and the next logical step in their minds was to kill someone. The sick part is they didnt even know that he had that money... they simply killed him just to see what it was like out of sick, morbid curiosity! He even had fun calling himself "Eddie Hatchet"! The crazy part is we "hung out" for 3 months and if you didnt know what he was locked up for you wouldve never guessed! Its extremely disgusting how these sociopaths see little to no value in the lives of others when it comes to self serving behavior... truly disgusting!
Love coming home from a crap day at work and see a new MONSTERS upload
Excellent coverage guys! I've been obsessed with this case ever since my husband &I were on vacation in VA Beach and this was news and flyers were around the area. When the " solved case" started turning up on the 20/20 Dateline shows I watched them and read both books written about the case. both Sheila's and Rachel's trials are on RUclips. Love your channel and again really superior coverage of this twisted case! Much better than Dr.Phils coverage
This is a very sad story of broken trust. You would never expect someone you hangout with everyday to kill you. Had skylar been a little older maybe she woulda had the life experience to let her know she was in danger..but she never had a chance, how could she have known.
Aren't most homicides committed by family, friends and acquaintances?
Even if she was older she wouldn’t have known. No matter how much I argued with a friend I would never think they would want to kill me. I don’t think like that so that would never cross my mind. Grown adults have killed eachother for even less, you never know!
@@Catsss1017 yeah thats true, grown adults don't even think about that. I was exposed to violence at a young age..I was shot 4 times in an after school fist fight when I was 14. Ive always been cautious about who around me might want to do me harm.
@@mattjack3983 I'm so thankful you survived.
And sorry you went through that.
God bless!
🙂💖💐🦋🌄🕊
There is no amount of "life experiences" that could have prevented people getting killed by the people they trusted the most. Nobody thinks not been on good terms with your friends could possibly results in your death,except if you lived a very dangerous and violent life style.
I’ve seen this case covered a million times, what you do best are those finite details and back story. Kudos to your exceptional research
I'm glad you covered this case. Even though I've heard this case being discussed dozens of times through the years-- you had details that I never knew/heard before.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I follow tons of true crime channels, but you are definitely my #1 channel
A child is missing and the cops don’t even try to confirm the story about her final known moments, even when all it takes is rewinding the footage they have just an hour further back. Of course.
Thanks so much for this new perspective on this tragic case. So many more details than I’ve ever heard before.
It seems, in far too many of these cases, that the authorities want to take the “easy way out” when considering evidence involving missing people. They drag their feet in pursuing leads and suspects, in searching for evidence- sometimes losing crucial information in the process.
Real reform in this area won’t occur until EVERY case is taken with utmost seriousness. If it turns out the missing person is just hiding out to avoid some personal responsibility, make them do community service to make up for their lost time and resources.
@Scot Shaver nope, it's not law enforcements job to babysit people.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 babysit people? I’m not sure what you mean…because if you’re referring to taking missing persons cases seriously enough to investigate every single one throughly and with full attention, regardless of whether they end up “just” hiding out or purposely running away, that is LITERALLY their job as stated by law and as budgeted for.
@@thecarouselpitch Most missing children are runaways or kids that were too stupid to mention they'd be staying at their friend's house that night. A certain criteria needs to be met to officially declare someone a missing person. Police time and resources aren't infinite. In this case we even see that Skylar snuck out late to hang out with friends.
If all you have is footage of them getting into a car willingly there isn’t a lot of evidence to suggest they were taken or in danger. That shouldn’t be the first thought on seeing someone get into a car.
Sorry to be blunt but even if the police had started looking and searching immediately they still wouldn’t have saved Skylar.
The responsibility and fault here lies entirely with the 2 girls who killed her and lies about absolutely everything.
I have seen many videos on Skylar, and I have to say this is the BEST by far. You have put a lot of info in your story that no one else has. Great Job and Thank you for all your hard work. Monsters is amazing.
i`ve been binging on Monsters, So happy to see you put this up Tonight, And Thank you for the info at the end, you`ve given the scared hope,
I'm glad you covered this!
I've seen this case talked about a few times on various channels, but you've provided ALOT more detail than they have. Thanks for the attention to detail!!!
Hi from the UK, I’ve seen three other videos on these girls on RUclips but not one of them went into the detail you have. I learnt more from this video about these cruel girls and there absolute nasty plot to murder a completely innocent girl who just wanted to be friends like they were before. The mindset of people nowadays is something to aware of. I feel so sorry for the parents and what they must have felt when they found out it was her so called best friends. Brilliant video. Thanks for the hard work you put into them.
I've heard this story from a few different channels but never heard about "Their Secret " nothing like that and i couldn't understand how they could hate her bad enough to kill her...now it's making more sense as screwed up as that is. Thank you for doing the actual research on this story ❣️
Nah, there had to have been some other dark secret Skylar knew about. 2 hot girls getting drunk and fooling around one time would seriously _not_ have been a big deal to high school kids in 2012.

@@jordan_roadhouse4798 he’s absolutely right. Been following this page for over a year, but nobody is immune to being wrong. Should probably watch something before claiming as a fact that it’s accurate. That’s just not a smart thing to do ever. Blind allegiance isn’t good in any facet of life.
@@roLLinKushy but every episode *is* good 🤷♀️
I've watched multiple documentaries on this case so many times.... but there was SO MUCH MORE info in this, than any other video I've seen on it... all of the little details make these stories so much more interesting, relatable and heartbreaking.. thank you for the effort and extra attention to that you put into these videos.... It dosen't go unnoticed..🙌
The detail you put into this one amazes me.ive seen this story many times but never w so much detail.none of the other ones i watched talk about the sexual relationship that w the catalyst of this murder.
You rock at this my friend.Thanks so much.
Dear God, the Heathers never needed a real life inspiration.... Rest in peace Skylar.
These despicable killers never seem to get the sentence length they truly deserve !!!! Love your Channel bro!!!👊🏼
I have heard & watched this case be portrayed before , but I have to say , this film beats the others HANDS DOWN ! The narration, the images , the touches of sarcasm & utter bewilderment…. It serves as a lasting legacy for poor Skylar and her family 🙏 .
Keep up the great work !
As usual, the way you tell the story is exactly the way I want to hear it! Your personal interjections are the way I talk and reminds me of a friend relating the info to me. Thanks for that! The girls sexual relationship was probably
the reason this whole thing started. It getting out was something Sheila
could not deal with. I mean, her young mind wouldn't be able to control
the thoughts of those that would know the truth. She wasn't going to have that.
What brazen girls they were! No morals. No ethics. No sense of right and wrong. The parents..
Do we go there? There are no laws in place to hold them accountable. They young girls truly are monsters.
And if anyone isn’t familiar….this is almost like the Shanda Sharer case. A young 12 year old from Indiana that befriended and lesbian girl that was like 14. They become sweet with each other but the lesbian girl had a girlfriend Melinda loveless. She was 15 and had a few friends who were the same age. They got that little girl out of her home one night and drove her out and tortured her..burnt her body and left her in a field. She was a little girl. They all are out of prison believe it or not. It happened in 92. Sick how these evil witches get out of prison eventually. But you have drug dealers in prison for life.
I live just 45 minutes from Morgantown and I remember when this happened. Excellent delivery of a very tragic story!
I have a daughter who is just starting to get to the age when girl drama is a thing. I can't imagine experiencing this as a parent. It's so tragic that stupid petty angst can lead to something so horrific.
I was lucky enough to not have to suffer any drama from my 16 year old daughter until two months ago, at which point every single major drama you can imagine hit all within a month. It was traumatizing for BOTH of us.
you don't REALLY THINK it was stupid petty angst, do you?? One was a sociopath and one was a psychopath. Just a tragic meeting of two mentally ill girls.
And your kids should be fine if you raised them right and they don't sneak out of windows at 1am in the morning.
Both of you moms need to show your daughters this video and sit with them-tell them nothing other than to watch with you..they will not see the friends as being the murders and it may open their eyes to always keep an open mind and be watchful of people with whom they keep company.
The best thing is to remind them that there are more important things to life, and to have good role models
@@derkeheath5172you’ll make it through. Just try to support her in the best way and it gets better after high school
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
i remember this--i've seen a lot of true crime videos about it, but it never fails to break my heart. the recording of rachel having a breakdown, screaming, as her parents call for help sticks with me too. the guilt came ripping out of her and couldn't stop.
that recording breaks my heart too. i'm not defending her at all, but I can't imagine what that guilt must have felt like, and I feel bad for her parents having to see their daughter act like that and then find out what happened.
“Ladies and Gentlemen I introduce you to Shelia Eddy.” Whew that was good.
20:30 Oh wow, the police refused to do their job and proved to be wholly incompetent. What a shocking and not at all regular occurrence.
At least theyre not black or personally socialist
No surprises there

Incredibly sad story. RIP Skylar, and continuing thoughts and prayers to Dave and Mary Neese.
I hope Sheila and Rachel are "enjoying jail."
I hope their hair looks nice.
They probably are enjoying jail if you know what i mean
You know Sheila is.

I can’t help but hope that they both go bald, blind, *and* lose their sense of smell/taste. 🫤
@@EYE_GOTCHA I gotcha
I have seen many shows about this case. It is terrible. One thing I noticed about the family is the amazing love between Mary and Dave. They seemed to be really good parents to little Skylar and it is sad to watch this heartbreaking experience. All I know is that every time I see anything about this case, I am just super impressed with Mary and Dave. They are awesome people and their love is beyond beautiful. They behaved better than most would during those disgusting trials. My heart is with these two wonderful people who suffered the biggest loss that can happen. Sending love and prayers always!! ❤️
I've watched coverage of this story a dozen times, but since it's you I'll make it a baker's dozen.
Most wouldn’t know what a baker’s dozen is these days. 👍🏽
from the intro, a reminder
you’re much more likely to be harmed, kidnapped, etc by someone close to you than a stranger. as horrible as it can be, sometimes you need to reconsider your perception of the people around you when something happens to someone close to you.
A polygraph doesn't 'show' if you're lying or not, it doesn't work as simple as that. It only shows the reactions that people get when pressured and based on that they draw a vague correlation between what is being told and what of it is true.
The myth that polygraph machines are lie detectors is almost entirely perpetuated by those in the polygraph testing industry. They aren't even admissible as evidence in court because they're simply not accurate and there's a range of ways to unknowingly or knowingly gives off different signals to the machine.
It's absolute junk science. It shouldn't even be allowed to be used in any capacity.
Innocent people fail “lie detector” tests all the time… and guilty people pass “lie detector” tests too
Listened to this occurrence 2 previous times. Your coverage is the best. Better pictures & more indepth details over time the period. Thank you.
I have heard this case before, but never a reason why. Thank you for sharing the rumors of a romantic relationship being kept a secret. That makes way more sense than "they didn't want to be friends anymore" like most say.
It's still not a believable motive. This was 2012. High school kids would not have cared that much about 2 hot girls getting drunk and hooking up one time. There was something else Skylar must have known about.
@@Bubba__Sawyer Rachel's family was religious and her mom had made her stop being friends with a girl for being gay, but I don't think that was the motive either.
I think I saw this story on The Chapter as well and I’m glad there are people on RUclips ensuring the lives of the innocent people are being remembered and that their killers are not being sympathized
I love That Chapter! 🥰. He does a great job!
I'm liking this new intro style. Draws me in more, even if it's a case I know.
I love how I know all these story’s but you always find little details I’ve never heard!! You do great work
I appreciate this channel cause its got more info they dont tell you elsewhere
I'm early for once o: I would like to say though that this case is absolutely heartbreaking. Skylar had such a long life ahead of her, and these girls ended it due to some petty shit. Rest in peace, Skylar.
Didn't Shelia also go to Skylar's home, and ask to go to Skylar's room when she was pretending to be so upset because she was missing?
yup! sat with her mom on the bed crying with her
Yes, she did. Shelia spent time in their home "grieving" with the parents.
@@peachylady, I've heard this as well.
Yes this is true. I think Sheila may have been looking for something .
Yes she did the sick, sick bitch. That is the move of a pure phsycopath.
What that poor girl went through… “friends” suddenly inflicting deep excruciating wounds to her as she processes what is happening… then dying with them standing over you as you picture everything and everyone you’re leaving behind to wonder what happened to you.
I didn't really want to watch this and had been putting this episode off as I have heard this story Sooooo many times now....
But I am glad I finally listened as you tell a story in a way that almost makes it new again. I also have a hard time listening to some of the true crime storytellers on YT that ruin their story because they can't just tell it without giving their own opinion over and over again. I expect to hear an opinion, it's only human nature to have one, but thanks for never turning your stories into an opinion piece!!! Always enjoyed.
I’m so grateful for the options and true concern you offer at the every time! I am no longer in danger, but there were many times having a way to call for help without raising suspicion would have kept me from getting beaten even worse. I’m so glad this is available now!
wow, so i just finish house work!! though wouldn't it be nice to get a notification from youtube saying you uploaded.. yay! thanks amazing content
Good morning monsters, this case get to me everytime!
I watch a lot of true crime, but from the first time I heard about this case I knew I would never forget her name. Listening to an interview with Skylar’s parents my heart shattered for them. They are good people and Skylar was a good kid, this should have never happened. Rest in paradise Skylar.
Skylar wasn't the angel her parents made her out to be. There's hundreds of pictures of her with Rachel and Shelia. They were good friends. Skyler wasn't forced into a friendship with them. So sick of every victim gaining sainthood just because of their unfortunate end.
@@Bubba__Sawyer You're saying that because there's pictures with them all together, that she's a bad person? Victim blaming at it's finest, you should be ashamed of yourself.
@@scheezy Herbert West has replied to numerous comments here talking about how hot and drunk the girls were. That’s sick. There is something seriously wrong with that weirdo.
@@scheezy Not a bad person, just not some sweet, innocent honour student caught up with the wrong crowd like she's portrayed. She wasn't forced into being friends with Shelia and Rachel. Clearly they all had a lot in common. Let's not forget Skyler's cryptic threats about exposing secrets she made on social media.
@@amyallds2176 There's something wrong with people who take people out of context too. Dunno what I said to trigger you but please stop following me around this comment section trying to bait me. I'm happy to engage with you if you want to address my posts directly. What you're doing here is petty though.
Wow! I've seen this case before by other channels but this is by far the most in depth. Good job. This is like a real life version of Mean Girls. R.I.P. Skylar
I always thoroughly enjoy your commentary and must say they are 100% spot on! Thanks for all the hard work you put into all your videos, it shows and always look forward to hearing any upcoming stories.
When Jiles does not do the intro until just over four minutes in then we all know that this will be a real good one 💯☠
The most frustrating thing about police treating any case like it's a "runaway" is that it doesnt mean that child is in less danger! Runaway children are easy prey for traffickers or anyone with bad intentions. Its also possible they could starve or freeze to death, get lost in the woods, fall and die from an injury. JFC. I so desperately want to have faith in law enforcement but they make it hard sometimes 🤦
Why have faith in them? There are good cops and detectives but policing as a whole protects property over people.
@@chrischickering1959 I don't disagree with you. Where I'm coming from is that I've seen a lot of cases where law enforcement truly put their blood sweat and tears into saving kids. The sad part is, it's not usually like that. If those same kids went missing in a different jurisdiction where the police didn't act like every second mattered, they'd be dead. I do wish I could have faith, but my understanding of how the system actually works is the reason I can't.
@@chrischickering1959 Because there's countless murder and missing person cases they spend tens of thousands of hours over many years investigating.
I can't imagine the horror Skyler experienced in the last few minutes of her life. RIP baby girl.
I've seen this case a few times on other RUclips docs, but honestly, this is the best one I've ever heard about it, the details about it I've not heard elsewhere.
Well done!!
That was the longest intro I've seen on one of your videos. I liked it. It adds even more of a "so what happened" feel.
I remember this case. I remember people saying, so what if she knew they were gay, no excuse to murder the girl. In 2023 they would say, its societies fault for "opressing" gay people.
The polygraph is a glorified interrogation tool. It barely matters whether you pass or fail, what matters is if you believe that actually means something.
This case, no matter how much information is given, is still so perplexing. How two seemingly normal teenage girls at a typical high school went through with this, let alone even thought about this... Then our judicial system fails the victim and family once again by giving one of them a lenient sentence. The kind of sentence that certainly wouldn't be given to someone in poverty, someone not white, or even someone who is simply less conventionally attractive by societal terms than, for instance, Shelia. How some people believe our judicial system is anything but a pathetic mess is beyond me. At this point, I don't know why we people still place so much worth on "remorse". Which is what I assume got Sheila more time, as well as Rachel's testimony, and the bs that she is the "ring leader". This isn't f-ing "Mean Girls". If anything, Rachel is exactly what she comes off as, a mess that's fake AF. Not only did she kill her friend, but she betrays her other friend to try and save her own ass. In my book, that's worse than Shelia's not being remorseful. It shows Rachel is not worried about what she did, she's MORE worried about herself. Shelia didn't pretend to care. What makes people so naive and gullible that they believe Rachel felt bad? Was it the time she freaked out because everyone was "ruining her life"? The time she did anything to lessen her sentence? Because she cried when the pressure was on and Shelia didn't? Rachel's manipulating her way right out of prison, because she supposedly "felt sooooo bad", and because she's a "follower" and "everyone knows it" lol. Why is she the follower again? Because she's not as pretty? Because Shelia had some invisible crown on her head that meant she was the queen b? THEY BOTH PLANNED IT. They BOTH stabbed her. They both tried to bury her. How naive can people be??? They both should have gotten the same sentence, whether that was 10 years or 100, period. It is disturbing that we will let Rachel out 60+ f-ing years before we let her partner in murder out. THAT, is more mind f-ing than this case is. Rachel is, and always has been, more manipulative and full of shit than any of her friends. In the end, we are allowing one killer special treatment because of the trivial behaviors of two girls that were in their teenage years. Justice.
Really well said, you bring up some really valid points. The justice system absolutely failed here because neither of these girls should ever get out of effing prison
Imagine what Rachel's life is gonna be like after she gets out in 2028 or worse, parole in 2024. This case is pretty famous worldwide and the 2 of them are only a couple steps below Casey Anthony in terms of fame for the murders they committed. It'll be very hard for Rachel to go anywhere or do anything in life without people knowing who she is, what she did, and hating her for it. From what I hear, the prison they're both in is like an all-girls school where you're not allowed to leave. If I were her, I'd WANT to stay there the rest of my life instead of live in the outside world where I'm so hated by everyone that I may not even survive.
That's the best way I've heard that said. You're absolutely right. As David Neese himself said in his victim-impact statement, Rachel didn't confess because of remorse for Skylar, but because she couldn't handle the pressure of law enforcement, and anybody else harassing them about Skylar, so she cracked. Her mind and body gave way, but out of selfishness - and Skylar's parents knew it. "The walls were closing in on her," said Dave in court. And they did. She needs to stay behind the walls she's in now, for a very, very long time.
@@incomeoracle I mostly agree with you, she'll have a tough time, no doubt, but I also can't stop thinking about how most likely at some point, somebody somewhere will take pity on her, and help her out in some way. There's always someone like that, it seems. But there is indeed widespread hatred and contempt for her like you said, and it would make more sense to stay in prison, if her life is in less danger in there, as opposed to on the outside. How 'free' would she really be?
@marioneno you're probably right. But that 1 person likely won't outweigh the many who despite her and some of whom talk about doing to her what she did to Skylar. If she was smart, she'd use whatever accumulated wealth she got in prison and maybe from her parents to learn how to day trade so she'll never have to work a job where she's around the outside world and move to some central or south American or Caribbean island country.
Saw this story on Mr. Ballen but I love your added details and footage/pictures, etc. Keep up the great work.
Monsters, I really want to praise you for this upload.. I can’t believe how many details and photos you showed, that I’ve never heard or seen before. You guys are pretty amazing!
Okay. So I've been in the position of being outed before I was ready and, honestly, had I been a hormonal teenager when it occurred I probably would have threatened violence or murder but it takes a special breed to actually do it. It's a horrifying experience, especially if religion is involved at any point like I feel Rachel's fear was fueled by. Sheila is the different breed but I feel Rachel was genuinely scared seeing as she brings up God a lot in her journal. This case always shocked the shit out of me. The girls are beautiful and could have done anything they wanted. Such a waste of bright light. Thanks again for all your work!
This was in 2012. They were hot and popular. It would not have been a big deal at all. Skylar must've known about some other kind of dark secret(s)
My wife and I have always agreed that it's perfectly OK if you're not friends with everyone you meet. In fact, not being friends with some people is a good idea.
What happens in highschool is so insignificant and meaningless in your life. Too bad you don't realize it until you're in your 30s and 40s.
