Catch up on the Skylar Neese murder story in order of airing:



All media outlets are protecting the 2nd killer’s identity. Except us… 

Victim Skylar Neese murdered by killers Shelia Eddy & Rachel Shoaf
Victim Skylar Neese

While all mainstream media news outlets are choosing to let one of the killers of 16 year old Skylar Neese remain a mysterious unidentified girl, we couldn’t care less about protecting her identify, & therefore shall expose the cruel evil spawn of Satan & the killer she is right here right now exclusively on NewsBall.com since June 1, 2013.

This is a tale of defiant & brazen high school teens – seemingly ripped straight out of the TV scripts from the Pretty Little Liars drama meets Buckwild reality show for a spin off train wreck disaster. An underlying theme of adults wanting to be their child’s negligent friend instead of their responsible parent. Of celebrated drug use within the nation’s largest college party town. A tale of how social media allows these already aimlessly roaming guide-less filled youth to be even more reckless, disrespectful, & out of touch with reality – out of sight out of mind – in pretending like IT never happened & to carry on acting normally. Somewhere along the way over the years & evident glaringly with this case, Morgantown lost its moral compass in becoming conducive breeding grounds for trouble – because as many locals told me – it wasn’t always like this.

For those unfamiliar with the story, Skylar Neese was lured out of her room on the night of July 6, 2012 by her 2 best friends. They drove her to this rural area called Eddy Run Road into Pennsylvania about 30 minutes away from their Morgantown, West Virginia homes.  Once at their planned grave site for their best friend, upon the count of 3, they stabbed Skylar to death, tossed her body on the side of the road, & when they failed to be able to dig her grave & bury her, just covered her body with branches & left her here.

Skylar Neese Missing Murdered Killed Shelia Eddy Rachel ShoafThe next day, Skylar’s mother Mary Earl Neese knew something was wrong & took to facebook. Because of the usual incompetency with authorities, they did not take Skylar’s disappearance seriously since she had climbed out of her bedroom window to get in the car of her two best friends, so an Amber Alert wasn’t issued. Authorities pegged Skylar a runaway. Additionally, because the body was dumped in this NO Trespassing area of back roads, her body was not found & Skylar was a missing person’s case for the remainder of 2012 with no big search party ever assembling.  By the end of the year, Skylar’s mother Mary put it all on the table in this long impassioned plea to the public.  The break in the case came as 16 year old Rachel Shoaf was admitted into Chestnut Ridge psychiatric hospital at the end of the year, undoubtedly being haunted with the guilty conscious of what she had done to her best friend, aided by months of relentless taunting & mocking harassment from the locals of Morgantown, who knew that she was one of the killers while the authorities were still “investigating”.

Killer #1 Rachel Shoaf

The combination of this, along with knowing that the jig was up as authorities were continuing to close in based on the surveillance video & other evidence they had placing Skylar in the company of her 2 friends the night she disappeared, brought her confession to killing Skylar on January 3rd. She then led authorities to Skylar’s body on January 16th, & because of 6 months of the body decomposing in the wilderness, it took until March 13th to officially identify & announce that the body found was indeed Skylar Neese.

In Rachel’s confession, she revealed a second girl not only helped in the murder, but was the mastermind & that they killed Skylar simply because they did not want to be friends with her anymore. Say whaaa!? This 2nd girls name is not being revealed by the media because she is a juvenile & she has not been charged as an adult yet, but it is not going to stop us from identifying her. You got 2 near legal adult girls who ruthlessly plan to murder their friend, stab her to death up to 50 times, slit her throat near decapitation, & toss her body on the side of the road. Then they lie to the FBI for nearly a year until one killer cracks & confesses Jan 3 under mounting pressure by the authorities & the locals, but then is allowed to stay free along with the second killer for 4 more months! Yes, roam 100% free! Keep reading!

Killer # 1 Rachel Shoaf without makeup

Due to Rachel’s cooperation in coming forward, admitting guilt, & giving up her friend/lover (we will get to this later), she now only faces up to 40 years in prison, but the plea deal she reached  allowed her to plead guilty to 2nd degree murder & calls for the judge to give her a 20 year sentence.  This isn’t a case of complexities – they killed simply because they did not want to be friends anymore, or whatever other trivial nonsense  may come to light about meaningless relationship or twitter feuds among the high schooler’s. This would be a 1 day trial & void of mitigating circumstances. Their lack of motive or so called reason, coupled with the fact that they killed a young girl PERIOD is enough to make me want to give them the death penalty – & I’m not even a fan of the death penalty.

The unidentified & currently still protected by the media 2nd killer of Skylar’s murder is 16 year old Shelia Eddy

Aside from the locals of Morgantown, WV who have been playing Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friendsdetectives for months – you heard it here first! It’s a shame bigger news outlets are afraid of sue happy parents of minors, but we are not, especially not the disgraced & embarrassed Shoaf’s & Eddy’s. Recall that we wrote above that Skylar’s body was found on Eddy Run Road? That’s not a coincidence –  Shelia’s divorced father Greg Eddy lives in a trailer on farmland that his ancestors own, & the road is named after them.

What would possess these 2 girls to stab Skylar to death? Luckily for us, we can go inside the mind of the main wicked little girl. Her twitter provides a glimpse of her inner thoughts as we browse her 4,000+ tweets.

July 8, 2012, just 2 days after murdering Skylar, she STILL can’t sleep:

Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents

On August 10th & August 22, 2012 her most repulsive act seen in this article! She posts on the Team Skylar Facebook page, & comments back & forth with Skylar’s Dad:

On October 2, 2012, almost 3 months later, she put on quite the fake act:

On November 5th, 2012, with rising heat from authorities & relentless locals:

On January 13, 2013 she wants things to go back to normal:

On Feb 13, 2013 she loves being 1 step ahead & making someone not exist

The day Skylar’s body was identified on March 13, 2013, more repulsion:

& just a few days before she’s taken into custody on May 1st her final tweets:

Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents

Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parentsSkylar’s cousin has been sounding off against Shelia Eddy’s twitter, even though Shelia hasn’t tweeted since April 30th because she is in custody, & probably will never tweet again. Not because she won’t ever get out of prison because I am sure she will, but because Twitter, like all fad novelty websites, will eventually fade away.

 

Bully 2001 Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parentsIs this a modern day story of the 2001 movie BULLY gone bad? Privileged kids, a sense of entitlement, too much free time on their hands, & drugs? Aside from privileged, seems there are those similarities, but there is no bullying aspect to suggest any more to this case then what is on the surface: Skylar was murdered because Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parentsthe 2 killers did not want to be her friend anymore! Doesn’t there have to be a motive better then that? A bully or stolen boyfriend/jealousy aspect? Or does a drug induced motive suffice to kill people these days? All appalling reasons, but give me something to lessen this from horrifying evil to just evil! I mean, sure, browsing Skylar Neese’s twitter of 2,000+ tweets about being high & cat fight feuds will annoy the heck out of you (like this one, which she ended up being deadly wrong about, ‘maybe if she wasn’t high she would have seen what was coming or strong enough to fight or escape?’ Or like this one, which showcases the superficial HS drama that consumed her just as much as any of them), & may cast her in at least a 5% less of an angelic light then the impression articles & news clips will have you draw of her, but that’s usually the case with any deceased person – casting someone in their best light. It’s still hard to imagine that at worst, Skylar was any more then a stoner who had the typical High School spats & stabbings in the back over relationships & cheating, & whom most certainly did NOT deserve to die by literally being stabbed in the back by her friends.

Skylar seemed to be on to something as she tweeted these on July 5, 2012 & July 6, 2012 – the day before she was murdered. Who was she talking about, Rachel or Shelia?

The Lesbian Triangle Love Affair Motive

*June 3, 2013 UPDATE* Bully motive? No. Scorned ex gf or cheating motive? No. Upon further investigation, we have now learned from our sources within Morgantown that Shelia & Skylar were best friends since 2nd grade, & that Rachel was getting jealous of this friendship, why? Because Shelia & Rachel were in a lesbian relationship & they were getting obsessed with each other, so Shelia decided that Skylar was getting in the way of their lesbian affair. In fact, this was a love triangle involving threesomes with the two killers Shelia & Rachel & Shelia’s other best friend – Shania Ammons…

Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parents shelia and shania

This third girl Shania Ammons – who was in love with Shelia – is without question the most intimidating & violent sounding of the group. Just take one look at a handful of her year long of threats where she wishes death upon anyone & everyone – to get a sense as to where the idea to kill one of their own helped influence Shelia & Rachel. She was supposedly a best friend of Skylar Neeese’ too, & to this day puts out contrived & manipulated statements about how much she loves Skylar & is doing things in her memory, yet at the same time then contradicts all of that by telling Mary & Dave Neese how “bad of parents” they were to Skylar.  Not that her love for people means anything – she loves Nicki Minaj even more then Skylar, & wants to see Ms. “Minaj beat the shit out of someone.  We have a source that has stated Shania wanted to see Shelia beat up victim Skylar last year. Is this some sort of sadistic sexual gratification since Shania is a bisexual who was in a lesbian relationship with Shelia. So the fact that Shania loves Nicki Minaj on an “unreal” level, & wants to see Nicki Minaj beat the shit out of someone makes it very credible that indeed Shania wanted to see Shelia beat the shit out of Skylar, since Shania also loves Shelia & had a lesbian relationship with her. Yes, we know, a lot of S names there, but we have a smart audience. Maybe calling them Skylar, Scandalous #1 & Scandalous #2 would be less tongue tying. To this day, despite a dead former friend & intense investigations surrounding her, there appears not to be a shred of maturity or growing up in Shania Ammons as not only does she continue to be vocal & public on social media, but 100% of the incriminating garbage she spews are one of only three Pretty-Litle-Liars-Tv-Shows Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parentsthings; 1) her obsession (like the other killers too) with Pretty Little Liars (a show whose plot is identical to this Skylar Neese saga), 2) being a self confessed “bitch” & cussing out anyone & everyone, & 3) flaunting her constant state of being high as an underage drug user with no fear of repercussions from any adult. You would think she would get off the internet while this murder investigation continues, but seeing two of her friends already bite the dust doesn’t seem to phase her. This just goes with the whole theme that these defiant little devils just never learn, even when they see it happening right in front of them, they don’t see it coming like deer in the headlights. She’s stated that if she was guilty she would have been arrested already, but maybe she needs a crash course in the statue of limitations for MURDER – NEVER. Seeing how slow these authorities have worked this case, they seem under no concern for safety to let killers mingle with citizens, so Shania, if guilty of even just obstruction of justice, shouldn’t expect her arrest for years at this rate. Maybe she won’t rethink threatening death on people & sharing her whole love for Pretty Little Liars until after those handcuffs lock against her wrists. Then she can hear plenty of cussing & seeing plenty of woman “beat the shit” out of each other in prison as her social media comes to life to haunt her forever! If you missed what we did there with those links, here’s Shania’s mouth/fingers at her finest again! (1234, 5) What role Shania Ammons played, either before or after, through involvement (as an accomplice to murder – beach alibi or not you do not need to be present to be charged with murder) or knowledge (in the cover up (tampering with evidence) or lying to protect her killer friends (obstruction of justice), is yet to be determined, but her continued support for the current killer list & recently trying to lie for Shelia over & over again are not going to help her cause at all, as her mouth & fingers have become her own worst enemy, but this very cultural conditioning in a college town such as Morgantown allows these teens to think they can get away with murder.

As for confessed killer Rachel Shoaf, she had a longtime boyfriend whose name is Mikinzy C. Boggs that goes to West Virginia University. She was afraid that he would find out about her lesbian love interest with Shelia, and him being 2 years older & a college guy who is also in a band & studying law – she did not want to lose him. It would appear motive enough for Rachel to take the reins by the horn & orchestrate the murder of her friend Skylar, but it was Shelia who had the natural ability to mastermind this, & had ice in her veins. She was the one who never cracked & who will now be charged with first degree murder. She was the one who always gave everyone a bitchy look. Rachel’s 9 years of catholic school, a mom serving communion at church every week, along with church camps & this Young Life Christian Club where she was continually lying & denying to her fellow youth leaders/friends finally took its toll on an already passive follower who went along with what her secret lover Shelia chose for them. Take a look at Rachel & her boyfriend, what a cute innocent looking couple wouldn’t you say? ALL pictures were snapped from September 2012 through December 2012 – can you see even a hint of guilt, remorse, or Skylar’s haunting memory in Rachel’s eyes?

Such a shame that this wholesome looking couple went to the wasteside. In the end, Rachel lost Mikinzy when her world started falling apart, both from the inside & out. With the authorities continuing to close in & mount the pressure on Morgantown, her inner demons were driving her to mental breakdown which led to her stay in the psych ward. Her confession on January 3rd would do more then clear her conscious & make her feel like she washed her hands clean with a new outlook on life & path for the future, but it would pave the way for a dramatic chain of events. The further incompetency of authorities would not go unnoticed to the shocked & disturbed community of Morgantown! Not even in hindsight mind you, but in real time as the investigation was unfolding the town was realizing, month after month, that the fact of the matter was that 2 killers were being allowed to roam free, smoking their weed & cruising around town, checking in at school just to take tests, leaving & being free as birds to interact with anyone & everyone for the last 4 months despite knowing who they were & what they had done to Skylar! Regardless of what authorities will say, this was not an ongoing investigation, it wasn’t “Lets keep a drug dealer on the streets so he can lead us to the kingpin“. This was 2 simplistic idiotic & very evil high school killers being allowed to remain free & interact with other students despite having killed a student already, from the day Rachel confessed on January 3rd until Shelia’s arrest on May 1st! It was determined that Rachel would remain free in order to interact with Shelia & set her up in conversations online & with wires. Both killers continued to show up to school to take tests, & Rachel was enjoying her retirement from having to attend class, & just show up for tests as evident from her inappropriate post here about her assistant principal.

Killers Rachel Shoaf & Shelia Eddy murdered killed 16 year yr old Skylar Neese West Virginia best friends mom dad parentsIn the final days before Rachel would self-surrender on May 1st, her mom Patricia Shoaf took her on a beach trip as a goodbye, bonding & growing up of sorts between mother & daughter as they drank & smoked together. No word if the divorced father, Rusty Shoaf went as well. (yes, both killer’s lived in broken homes, shake my head) The screenshots below are self-explanatory – all from the final few weeks of Rachel’s freedom in April 2013 ending in Rachel tweeting goodbye to the world. Rachel knew what was coming on May 1st, along with her family & her former boyfriend Mikinzy, but other then this no one knew what was coming next as she continued to lie & deny to the very last day to friends & her church group that anything was wrong or why she was missing school & that the rumors about her involvement in Skylar’s death were false….

  1. Stumbled across this. Your facts about prom are wrong. Raven did go with Shelia. Unidentified Male in White took another girl who wasn’t pictured in either of the prom pictures you’ve found. She wore blue, to match the male, while Raven wore purple.

      1. You say in your article that raven went with shelia, BUT your caption on the pictures claims that Shelia was the 5th wheel and that Raven was with the guy in the white tux. Your anon reader is trying to tell you that shelia WAS NOT a 5th wheel because Raven did take her– and the guy in the white was just a friend that was with someone else (NOT in the picture) . Not sure y u aren’t getting it but either your captions are wrong or your story is and that makes u look stupid. I appreciate your article but you can’t say one thing and then contradict yourself and then not even own up to it when someone points it out to you. MAKES U LOOK like an idiot.

        1. Not sure what this obsession is with an irrelevant unidentified boy in a purple/blue vest is, but Raven was his date. CLEARLY. That’s what prom couples do – they match outfits. Shelia tagged along as the 5th wheel…. Regardless, out of the 10,000 relevant aspects of this case you are picking apart something that we don’t see the point of.

  2. Can you please link me their facebook/twitters/anything they post on because i would like to have my say here as i am sure everyone else is… This story has affected me even though i am a 21 yr old living in Australia. I can’t get over it and it feels almost like it’s not real. I want to read their statuses more and just wrap my head around what the world if coming to.

    I do believe young minds using a lot of drugs by the sounds of things has a large affect on their decision making, to think she posted about getting drunk with her mother. I drank when i was 16 too but it was very rarely as we had to sneak around.. your parents drinking with her and also knowing you smoke weed, what the fuck. America must truely be fucked up.

  3. Hi Cole, just wanted to say I was really impressed by this story you put together. I’m sure it took countless hours of research, organization and plain hard work to do so, I truly hope these girls are exposed for their heartless crimes.

    On a different note, I was wondering why you plan on releasing the name of the victim in the steubenville case? I’ll admit I haven’t followed the case that thoroughly, but from what I’ve read that poor girl has been through enough already. What would be the point in releasing her name, other then for her to lose what little anonymity she may have left?

  4. Just wanted to compliment your courage and hardwork on putting together this article. It is extremely sad how a young life has been lost. I pray that justice prevails and all those at fault are brought to justice. Our justice system really needs to stop protecting the assailants and start bringing justice for the victims.
    Cole, may god bless you and protect you sp that you may continue to do great work. By the way your writing, research and dedication surpasses top news outlets! CNN has continuous grammatical errors and their stories a lot of times have no concrete information.
    Thank you again and I like many others here believe that justice will prevail for this child.

  5. I liked your write-up on Skylar. She was portrayed as a victim who was killed by her friends…and that was all there was. No investigation by the media, no naming of the killers, no research into what happened at all. In fact, your showing Skylar’s cousin posting to her killers twitter accounts after she knew they were in jail was powerful. It showed her pain/anger/emotion that is absent in every other story.

  6. Not sure why people are asking why you put “so much time into this” or question your methods. This is exactly what investigative journalism looks like. Thank you for putting the time and details you did into this. For those who do not care for you questioning the attitude in Morgantown or the parents: These are teenagers making public posts about illegal activities and even posting pictures of them smoking out of bongs. Sorry, if my kids posted those kinds of activities I would be aware. Not sure how your teenage daughter posting on a PUBLIC forum her illegal activities eluded the parents. The police I have less fault with…they obviously delayed the arrests until they had a strong enough case to bring it before the courts. Plus, the extra “4 months” allowed these genius kids to keep incriminating themselves and exposed others who could be charged.

    I will keep checking this site and see if you can keep bringing this type of excellent reporting. If you can keep delivering I see this site getting real big, real fast (especially now that radaronline obviously cites you as a credible source, even though they are not).

    1. See our other comment to you regarding the minority that are haters because they are locals of Morgantown that are possessive of “their” story.

      A story like the tragedy of Skylar Neese does not come along that often. So we can’t take credit for the massive compiling of interesting content to equal an extensive investigative report such as this. Sure we can follow this article up with 100 more stories & just use boring mindless dribble to fill up the page, but readers would not be impressed or come back. We report on what the news allows us to report. We are currently working to uncover the identity of the Steubenville Rape victim’s name & her pictures as we update readers on the players of that story while evening the playing field. There is nothing off limits with uncensored news & that is what we strive for.

      As for your compliment about growing very quickly, thank you, but there is a ceiling approaching & that is because in the same breath we thanked RadarOnline for mentioning us, then they stole from us in the next. If you read their article from JULY 1 http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/07/teen-skyler-neese-murder-second-killers-shocking-arrest-details/# about the public arrest of Shelia Eddy, you see that they actually claim it is their exclusive story, when in reality, they literally stole it from our “The Public Arrest of Shelia Eddy” section of our main Skylar story from JUNE 1! The same reporter only two days earlier gave us mention in her other Skylar story, so the cookie crumb trail is proof they are simply watching our site & using it as their “source”. If big media outlets are to simply steal from our hard work, time & effort, then there is no real hope for giving them a run for their money in the competition forum. At least we were able to establish a comment at the top of the comment section of their article to promote the true exclusive story of the Shelia Eddy arrest. They are so mindless & incompetent as to not even be able to moderate their own comments, let alone actually go out & compile research & present it in a comprehensive fashion other then generic watered down mainstream articles.

      1. Not much work to uncover the Stuebenville girls name. It was released by all major news outlets by accident in May http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps7OdFLoK88

        As for RadarOnline: They are a “Gossip” site that has no integrity to begin with. They do routinely steal their work, but all that matters to them is drawing in advertising news clicks. As long as they generate income, they do not care what their “writers” do. They also will continue to steal material from you and there is not much you can do about it…yet. Partly because of who you are and your past, but also because they have the upper hand from a revenue standpoint.

        All you can do is grow your site by posting material the other sites do not: For example Skylar’s parents history (obviously not great parents based on her twitter postings and that she was able to sneak out freely), but the names of those involved and more “meat” on the story. Something like RO is a site that posts virtually no information (mostly because their average readers cannot read something substantial anyway) their “stories” are a shocking headline, 3-5 sentences, and then a “OMG! Isn’t this bad? Tell us what YOU think in the comments!”.

        1. That youtube link just beeps it out. Trust me, we have searched hard for it. No one will give it. Not even this lady http://cdn.theatlanticwire.com/img/upload/2013/01/03/rendered/885b9cd03c429e61dc074f7592e56301_261x423.jpg

          RadarOnline spits out 100 articles of mindless dribble a day. We will focus on 1 quality story a week – something we can get an exclusive angle on like we did with the Bowling Ball murder story. No one reported his name or pic (obviously because he is 13), but I am clueless as to why they did not discover that the killer’s group went bowling 9 days prior. Things like this are our key to being unique. We are taking measures from now on (when possible) to prevent RadarOnline & other bully news outlets from stealing our stories. For example, our EXCLUSIVE Dylan Conaway interview will be published in a few hours. We have video of him stating this is a NewsBall.com exclusive, so RadarOnline will have no choice, but to state “NewsBall.com is reporting….” if they want to take our newest Skylar Neese article.

          Thanks again for your support, & if you do happen to find the Steubenville rape “victim”s name or the uncensored pic, send it to info@newsball.com We will eventually get it, & this is classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfuy-vnpWY If they want to come after NewsBall next – so be it. 7 of them have been unmasked recently http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/07/anonymous-hackers_n_3398282.html Not so scary or intimidating without their robot voice & mask.

      2. “We are currently working to uncover the identity of the Steubenville Rape victim’s name & her pictures”

        You do good work man. Thanks for digging up the real trash for the rest of us to read about. I was thinking I was the only one to have doubts about the Hannah A story right off the bat. Now the whole web is buzzing about it.

        But I have a hard believing, with all of the info you have been able to get your hands on, that you are still “working to uncover” Alayna Macaluso. There’s pics of her all over the iinternet. If you were watching the sentencing live the lawyers even blurted out her name about 3 dozen times….

        Anyway, keep on top of it.

        Jimi
        ….

  7. OMG I am so shocked! All the time and work you put into researching this is AMAZING and I hope something comes of it!!!! Keep it up and Thank You!

  8. Cole, Where exactly is the interview with Dylan Conaway? I’d love to read it (or watch it). Thanks for all your effort in this case. Peace and Happy Days, Midas Wilder and the Gang

    1. It will be published in a few days. Working on the shocking ironic twist of the 13 year old who killed the 5 year old with a bowling ball last week on June 25th. Name, picture, & the exclusive twist will be published by tonight.

  9. Your characterizations of Morgantown are off. They seem to be drawn from the national media that shows the worst of the partying. A rumor I have heard is that some people from Blacksville, W.V. had committed crimes (robbing banks), that the two murderesses were for some unknown reason, connected with, and protecting these people, and that the victim found out and had threatened to tell authorities. I heard that these others (rumored to be men) were involved the night of the incident. I am glad that no one has received “full immunity” from prosecution on this.

    1. My characterization comes from the direct input of long standing citizens of Morgantown. The rumors of Blacksville robberies is referring to Dylan Conaway, & yes he was hanging with Shelia from time to time, but the rumors are complete fabrications created by town gossip. Skylar Neese could not have cared less who did what. She was a free spirited care free student & weed smoker. I find the possibility that Skylar had threatened these mysterious bank robbers (for what purpose) to be non existent. The idea that Shelia & Rachel would remain silent, & take the fall for bank robbers, at all costs & never give them up is not possible. If they had something to give up to save themselves THEY WOULD HAVE – a long time ago! Shelia especially would have thrown you & anyone under the bus if she had anything verifiable to give!

  10. Normally I don’t make posts on such things, but I just have to say, I appreciate what you have compiled here. While I found some of the ideas presented to be a bit farfetched, it is obvious that you’ve spent a lot of time looking into this, and I learned a lot more from this than I learned from anything else I have read up to this point.

    1. Which are far fetched? We will dig deeper on those aspects, but this entire story is shockingly unbelievable yet true. We stand behind every aspect of what we have reported.

  11. Oh who gives a fuck. You don’t care about bringing anyone to justice. You just care about being sensationalist and “First” at reporting this.

    You truly could care less who dies so long as it gives you news.

    1. We care about being insulted by media outlets that feed us garbage details. When we first heard about Skylar’s story, & that the 2nd killer would not be named, that was all we needed to hear to take it upon ourselves to reveal Shelia Eddy’s identity. In that regard, we extremely care. Anytime the media chooses to protect a killer, we care & we will be there to report on it from now on.

  12. i think racheal had just as much to do w/it as shelia. she might even be the one that told shelia if she didn’t do it she wouldn’t go w/her anymore. because shelia & Skyler had been bff’s since they were kids. so racheal ( or however u spell it i’m not worried about spelling, i’m trying to make a point here ) would’ve been jealous of them& just maybe she put the idea in shelia’s head ? who knows ? the whole truth will probly never be known. just like that other girl might have told them to do it.& their to scared to tell on her cause she did look like a bully. anyway i think both girls should be charged the same LIFE W/OUT !! they were both there they both took part their both guilty & neither of them showed any remorse while out having fun !! you can say racheal show she was sorry by going to the mental ward, lol the only thing wrong w/her was she knew her ass was caught & she was doing whatever to try & get out of it !! that’s why she had the mental brake down too she was scared of what was going to happen to her little ass in prison !! & boy have they got a lot in store for them !! turning on ur best friend like that in prison is a big no no !! they will learn to have sex w/all kinds of objects,but it won’t be the kind they like !! they will probly never make it & will die a slow torchorish (yeah i know it ain’t spelled right) death. which they both deserve,as goes for #3 if she had anything to do w/it. if they would start killing people the way they kill their victims a lot of killings would stop. but i guess that would be to easy. but GOD will deal w/them & if he don’t karma surley will when they get to prison !! i am so sorry for Skyler’s family & i know no words can heal the pain. but i’m sure she’s real happy with her angel’s wings in heaven now & she never has to worry about loosing best friends there, she’s got all she can handle & then some !! God speed Skyler Have fun baby girl, till u meet ur family again !!

  13. Dare You To Post This – why don’t you take a hike and leave Cole alone. He is doing what everyone else has done at one time or another, including yourself. Yours is not the only opinion out there. You can bash Cole for his past, but everyone has skeletons (I bet even you do). Don’t threaten, sometimes you won’t like the results. Interestingly enough, it appears, you chose to use “DARE” as your name, considering it was Skylar’s mother that “dared” Cole to proceed with this blog. Cole is no different than any of you other BS bloggers, with the exception that he doesn’t care about exposing the truth, while many of the rest choose to hide behind it. Skylar deserves for the truth to be told, it seems though, you all want it to be told on your terms. It’s news, it happened,, live with it. If the parents were so concerned about letting this information get out, they wouldn’t be granting all the many interviews, having articles written for the paper, promoting fundraisers or obtaining an amateur to write a book about Skylar’s case. This isn’t the place for your protests of Cole. Take it to your own illiterate sites and leave those of us that seek the truth to enjoy Cole’s endeavors. Peace out!

    1. Let’s also point out that the haters hide behind fake alias & nicknames. It’s quite amusing 🙂

  14. First of all…the “420” in my email is because my birthday is April 20th. With that being said, that was a great article and a sad, sad tragedy for Skylar’s family to have to go through, may God be with them and bless them to help them through this. But what I don’t quite understand is why the writer chose to put so much emphasis into this story, repeating themselves over and over about the incompetency of the local police department and how evil this Shelia chick is. If they are so impassioned by this case in this small town, please do not come out into the real world where horrible tragedies like this are a dime a dozen. Believe me, I truly feel for this family and the great loss they are suffering. And the fact that have been waiting so long to get some kind of justice for the brutal murder of their loved one is sickening. But these kinds of murders are happening all over America…so what is it about this murder that compelled you to write such a long article and continue to say the same things over and over again? If you are somehow connected to the families, say so. But to post this link on craigslist in San Diego, makes one wonder the motives behind that. Had I not been a fan of “true crime”, I would not have read as much as I did of the article. But to be honest, there are far worse crimes and murders that do not get any exposure. Again, I am NOT saying this to lessen the tragedy of this case…I’m just wondering why someone who obviously has a talent as a writer, would put so much into this
    one case.

    1. This story is uniquely shocking & disturbing, & until it has ran it’s course with Shelia Eddy’s name being reported by the media – there is a need for this reporting. Today’s article by the WV Gazette STILL continues to protect the killer, Shelia Eddy, numerous times. The article is pathetic & disgusting for the amount of times it continues to say “unnamed suspect”. They aren’t that clueless – they know, but they don’t have the guts. Are they really afraid of Shelia Eddy suing them? Shame on you WV Gazette. http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201306260044

      So until this is national news – this story will be our focus. Thank you for the compliment 🙂

  15. So, Cole, why DID you “stop updating” your other page? Too much heat from the Morgantown PD, the parents of the minor CHILDREN you harassed on Twitter and libeled on your page, or maybe the FBI and the Vegas cops? YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET…

    1. Oh we will soon be making a formal announcement that DollarScholar.com will be focusing on sports & betting/gambling related news, while NewsBall.com focuses on news stories & the investigative reporting such as with this Skylar Neese story. We did not intend for the migration of content between our sister sites to be a stressful transition for you.

      Our tactics, however unconventional at times, bring the readers what they want. No evil person will hide behind technicalities.

      Thank you for your continued support!

      1. So you harass other people until you get the dirt you want.

        You’re disgusting. You’re everything that’s wrong with the media.

        1. Anyone involved with a murder, or anyone that is friends of a killer, are fair game & will be exposed.

        2. You mean everything “right” with the media. See, this is what journalism is actually supposed to look like. Someone goes and does interviews, asks questions, talks to witnesses, gathers information, and presents it. The fact that these girls for some reason used twitter to make documentation of their selfishness and callous attitudes is not the reporters fault. He simply used what they chose to put out to the ENTIRE WORLD and showed it to us along with other information he found. So what exactly is “wrong” in your mind with any of this? I hope to see these girls locked up forever. They are murderers and their parents sat back and watched as they lied, did drugs, and posted publically all of it. I hope after the girls are locked up Skylar’s parents sue the parents of those involved for damages. It will be easy to win, especially since the girls posts show their parents did nothing to control them.

          1. The negative comments are from SOME locals of Morgantown that are highly possessive of THEIR story since they have been playing detectives, spreading town gossip & rumors on a daily basis through topix & websleuth local forums. Therefore, when an outsider came around to gather, compile, organize, present & display the thousands & thousands of random anonymous posts, tweets, pictures, etc over the course of the one year since Skylar was killed, they took great offense to it. They dismiss this investigative report as nothing more then STEALING from their message board postings, while I compare their absurd argument to them mining for gold for a month of backbreaking work, & once they have an ounce of it in their hand, I will come take it from them. They see no difference in the recent theft of Radar Online stealing our article of the Skylar Neese murder story because we “stole” it from the locals. Some of them are truly simple minded deliverance type of people, but a good majority support this site & are even some of my sources. There is also the aspect that Dave & Mary Neese, while god bless their hearts for their pain, are profiting tremendously off their daughter’s death now, & because they are against any reporting that they can’t control & get a piece of whatever pie there is, they are against this website. Accordingly, their inner circle of Morgantown locals are the very haters that come on here spamming the comment boards with hate. We let some in, but reject most of it. The Neese’s have many skeletons in their closet, from Dave Neese in fact having another daughter even though he claims Skylar was his only daughter, to his addictions & refusal to ever work, to the community paying their rent because they moved into an apartment they couldn’t afford with the agreement of Skylar that she would help pay some of the rent, to fundraising money going missing, etc, & there is enough content sent anonymously to us to write a large article on, but we are choosing not to report on that side of things for now, if ever. For example, we recently asked Skylar’s friend Hayden McClead to help us with our next story, since she spoke with People Magazine & they wouldn’t even name Skylar’s killer, but Hayden said: “sorry but no. dave and mary disapprove of what you were doing and im not helping you out. your making things worse. skylars parents have asked you not to post what you are and you still do. thats pretty sad.” What is sad is the wool pulled over the eyes of these young impressionable teens & the adults that are unaware of this censorship Dave & Mary Neese want IF they are not controlling the revenue source. We are trying to further expose Shelia Eddy as the killer she is, & can you believe Skylar’s friend would actually NOT HELP US!? You can find more hateful comments at the original article from DollarScholar.com’s Original Comments here, 160 of them That is our sister site. Thank you for your support!

  16. Excellent reporting. I learned more about this story here than I did at all the major news sites. I read the whole thing.

  17. Thank you for this story-by far the most on prehensile on the web. I agree Shelia doesn’t deserve to be shielded from the media. For a simple juvenile infraction, sure-but premeditated murder? NO! Not entirely sure of the relevance of the bits on Raven Lester, though. Great blog, and I look forward to reading updates when they are available.

  18. anyone noticed that Skylar’s 2 ‘friends’ seemed to be sending her up in some of their photos together. maybe it started with this photo from your page above:
    http://dollarscholar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/killers-with-skylar-in-distance1.jpg
    – the 24 Aug 2011 one where Skylar appears to be crying. the comment says: lmao… the f***?
    in later photos Shoaf especially seems to be making a mock crying face – Skylar even sticks here tongue out at Shoaf in one of them. then, in a couple photos after her death, they both make weird/crying faces.

    pure speculation I know, but…

  19. SHAME ON THE PARENTS OF THESE GIRLS

    Why isn’t there more focus being put on the parents of these girls?

    WHO ARE these parents? Why are they being kept behind the scenes?

    The parent(s) of these girls (of EACH girl involved — not only the murderous pair, but also those who so closely associated with this pair AFTER it was obvious that they knew this pair had committed such a heinous crime) are so quick to grasp for the “minor card,” while their daughter clings beneath her mother’s skirts, wearing her “minor’s badge,” and expecting to face consequences much less fitting for the heinous acts she’s accused of committing OR being privy to.

    Parents who are complaining and threatening legal action because their daughter’s name and images are published on this website, and parents hiding behind the legal excuse of their child being a minor, in all fairness, put down your defenses and listen up.

    These girls (your daughter) DID NOT post tweets and photos on PUBLIC social sites to keep to them private. They wanted to broadcast these images to others — images posted on social sites that are available to and can be viewed by ANYONE with internet access ACROSS the WORLD. (For example, a pedophile in another country could easily “Follow” your daughter’s Twitter profile and enjoy the liberties that other countries afford pedophiles, YET I’m assuming you aren’t complaining about those pedophiles to stop posting pics of your daughter to their kiddie porn websites, BUT you’re complaining about the administrator of this website for posting pics of your daughter, which YOUR daughter posted in the first place for ANYONE to see. The administrator of this site is merely providing a HUB, or direct link, to the images YOUR daughter put out there for the world to see.

    Shame on the parents who refuse to ACCEPT THEIR role in the lack of moral guidance they’ve provided to their daughters, which could have avoided their being a part of this fiasco altogether.

    I definitely would be more interested in getting a closer look at the parents’ lives of these girls. Where did THEY grow up, what were THEIR parents like, what is THEIR reputation in their community, and more importantly, where do THEY believe they failed to protect their daughters from getting involved in this mess?

    Parent(s) who complain (and threaten legal action because) of their daughter’s name and images being published on this website should answer the following question.

    Are you more shocked and horrified by:
    (a) the tangible proof — tweets and pictures which were ONLY created by your daughter — staring back at you, PROVING your daughter’s immoral actions/behavior, or
    (b) the fact that your daughter’s immoral behavior has been posted on this website for others to see?

    Granted, no parent wants to believe (much less see the evidence of) their child being capable of such callous behavior – behavior which would ordinarily be denied or excused by a parent IF the proof wasn’t so plainly depicted in the numerous images posted. But someone (either parent or daughter) has to take responsibility and accept the consequences. If you say that your daughter shouldn’t be named and should receive a lesser punishment BECAUSE she is a minor, then YOU should be willing to come forward and publicly shed light on where YOU went wrong with your parenting style. Otherwise, stop complaining about your daughter’s own creations being posted to this website.

    Still making excuses after having to ponder these questions, which have put you between a rock and a hard place? Ponder this:

    In other cultures, children are taught that their actions and behavior “directly affect” their entire family’s honor and reputation in society. How can children from those cultures, who would also be considered “minors” in our culture, so easily comprehend and carry out this fundamental of childhood guidance. Because they have “proper parenting” (i.e., close guidance on moral issues; observing what their children are viewing and posting on the web; overseeing text messages and pictures on their phones; being more aware of the behavior/family reputation of their daughter’s circle of friends, etc.).

    Again, I am more interested in seeing more information about the parents – preferably from the parents themselves. I’m not going to hold my breath though.

    Just sayin’.

    ~From one American to another

    1. I found it shocking to learn of the confession. And still more shocking that she was allowed to go on one final “beach vacation” before being carted off to the juvenile facility. The parents of the victim did not get to have one final beach time with their daughter. Ridiculous.

    2. I get the impression daddy is rich. My daughter,a non violent offender, was in the wheeling juvenile center with Rachel. I warned her to stay away from her. When the staff figured out I knew I got threatened with not being allowed to come visit again. Makes no sense to me. You house a murdering psychopath with a bunch of kids who mostly are nonviolent.

      1. I agree that there has to be some reason (like a rich daddy) to explain why law enforcement has bent over backwards to shield these two killers.

        Right from the start, there was enough evidence to charge Shoaf and Eddy—there was a video of Neese getting in the car with them late at night; there was blood found in the car; the two killers told many provable lies, like what time they picked up Neese. Police had enough to make arrests right there. But nothing was done until January, when Shoaf finally admitted her involvement. And to let 5 months go by before making arrests? During this time Shoaf took an out-of-state vacation, and Eddy attended an out-of-town prom? It’s ridiculous, and I am not buying at all that 5 months was how long police needed to see if Eddy would make incriminating statements. A day or two of freedom for Shoaf, with round-the-clock surveillance, to allow her to attempt to get Eddy to make admissions, would be the limit. But these killers were allowed to attend school to the end of the semester. They very well could have committed another terrible crime during the 5 months police allowed them to roam free.

        And charging Shoaf with 2nd degree murder? That’s what you get if you kill someone in a sudden rage, not for a premeditated, vicious murder against an innocent victim with no justification whatsoever. Charge her with 1st degree and bargain for less than life imprisonment (if a bargain is necessary)—there is no reason to give her the gift and the victim’s family the insult of of only 2nd degree murder. And why is Eddy only charged as a juvenile? She is the same age as Shoaf, and there are indications that she was the primary instigator (it was her car, and the crime took place on land owned by her family). But being charged as a juvenile, it is possible that she will be freed when she turns 21.

        There are so many things that stink about the way law enforcement is handling this case. Something is happening behind the scenes—like the influence of a rich relative.
