True crime books have always interested me. They are haunting and it can be hard to absorb the harsh facts. This book was no different. I saw this case on some show on the ID channel and it was immediately fascinated. This wasn't just a case of a teenager being killed. It was a case about a young girl who was murdered by two people that were supposed to be her friends.
Skylar Neese was like most teenage girls. She loved to hang out with her friends and although she was responsible, she did do some things her parents wouldn't have approved of. On the night of July 6, 2012, Skylar snuck out of her home in Morgantown, West Virginia to hang out with her two best friends. Unfortunately Skylar had no idea that Rachel Shoaf and Shelia Eddy planned to murder her that summer night. They drove out to remote location and on the count of 3 they began to stab her. Afterwards, they covered Skylar's body with branches and left her there. I truly believe that both girls are sociopaths. Both girls said that the only thing that Skylar said during the brutal attack was "why?'
Why did two teenage girls decide to kill their friend? The girls said it was because they "didn't like her."
Shelia gave us a look inside her twisted mind through her twitter account during the months before her arrest. It really doesn't take a physiatrist to see that this girl is evil.
This book is haunting and really makes you stop and think about the horrors that some people are capable of.
