inseparable. then one ended up missing. nobody s heard from her. nobody knows where she is. something s wrong. something s bad wrong. where was skylar? someone was hiding something. it was the fbi. they were serious. twitter, instagram, facebook. you just see things start to get ridiculously out of control. a clique of mean girls. were they mean enough to kill? she was like, well, she ll blackmail me. it was such a shocking and scandalous kind of case. this was diabolical. evil comes in all shapes and sizes. hello and welcome to dateline. for skylar neese s parents their teenage daughter was all they could have hoped for. a straight-a student with lots of friends and happy at her part-time job. but then their world turned upside down when their only child seemed to vanish without a trace. at first police thought she ran away. but hints on social media would point to a more sinister reason for her disappearance. here s andrea canning with something w
could be a runaway. there are kids that run away all the time. it wasn t long before officer coalbank got the video from the security cameras at the neeses building. skylar s friend sheila eddy said skylar was home around midnight. so what was this car doing pulling up around 12:30 a.m.? who was in it? dave neese watched horrified as there on the tape, out walked skylar. she slowly walked down to a car that was sitting there waiting on her. she got in the back seat. i could tell that. and she drove away. police couldn t quite make out a license plate or tell the make or model. skylar s mom mary had a theory. she made it home, snuck back in the window, then a second person or persons had parked behind the building and she snuck out a second time. but why? who was in the car? and where did they go?
investigators were convinced of it. both girls were sticking to the same story but that was about to change. one of them was ready to talk. here s aaron rhea canning with more of something wicked. christmas 2012 came and went for skylar neeses parents dave and mary. it had been six months since skylar had disappeared. the holidays must have been very hard that year, christmas time. we didn t celebrate. nah. we didn t put up any tree. we didn t do anything. just another day. yep. around that time, rachel shoaf and sheila eddy stopped attending university high. their few remaining friends told the authors dave and may that rachel seemed agitated. she was acting out, getting into more family altercations at home. so the walls were closing in on rachel? uh-huh. 911, we have an emergency. i have an issue with a
an incredibly disturbing scene. friends say in the months before skylar s death, she and sheila fought constantly. late on july 5th, skylar tweeted this. you doing blank like that is why i will never completely trust you. later that night, skylar is seen here on that surveillance tape driving away from home for the last time. what were they fighting about? there s a possible answer. hallway whispers that rachel and sheila had developed a sexual relationship and that skylar knew and threatened to out them. did they kill her to keep their secret? it s as close to a motive as anyone can come up with. do you think we ll ever know why this happened? i think that s something for rachel and sheila to say. they know the answers to that. in january 2014, dave and mary finally got the news they had been hoping for, a plea deal. sheila eddy, how do you plead to the offense of murder in the first degree in the felony charge in count three of the indictment in this case?
