Book Summary
Journalist Daleen Berry and investigator Geoffrey Fuller
give you the little-known details behind one of the most
horrific and shocking murders of our time.
One
hot July night, three popular, pretty girls snuck out for a
midnight joyride. Only two came back.
Stabbed so
savagely she was almost decapitated, Skylar Neese was left
bloody on the side of the road, buried beneath rocks and
branches.
For six months, people wondered and waited,
hoping Skylar would return. Instead, the community was
stunned when Rachel Shoaf confessed to Skylar’s murder. The
budding actress and singer accused the third member of the
inseparable trio, Shelia Eddy, of being the ringleader.
People were even more shocked to learn the murder was not a
crime of sudden rage—but premeditated.
Now, friends,
family, and the public are left with so many unanswered
questions: Why did investigators believe her murder was
connected to a rash of bank robberies and an interstate
heroin ring? What part did drugs and social media play in
Skylar’s killing and its aftermath? How did other high
school students and even her own mother help discover who
killed Skylar? And, if Rachel’s confession is true, what
would lead two teenage girls to kill their best friend in
one of the most horrific crimes in recent years?
With
firsthand interviews with those close to the case and
written in cooperation with the victim's parents, Dave and
Mary Neese, The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese is the
most comprehensive, detailed and in-depth source on the
Skylar Neese murder
