The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese: The Truth Behind the Headlines Description
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.

What Daleen Berry and Geoffrey C. Fuller brought to the readers within the pages of this book is beyond words to me. There were a few typos, but beyond that, it brought out the raw emotions of what loved ones go through when a member of their family is missing. It brought out Honesty, Truth, and facts that the public would probably have never known if not for this book. I purchased the book on the day it came out, and have read it twice. I've not only read the book, I've FELT the book as I've read it, something that authors very rarely do to me. Excellent work!!! It gave me a better understanding of the Judicial System, and a glimpse of a young girl who may be gone, but NEVER forgotten. I appreciated the fact that they mentioned through the book our very own Aliayah Lunsford, who's been missing from Lewis County since Sept. 24, 2011....My prayer is that someday, someway, we will have someone like Officer Jessica Colebank, Corporal Ronnie Gaskins, and Trooper Chris Berry who won't give up until Aliayah is found also. Rest In Peace Dear Skylar, and know that these authors did you justice in writing this book about you. If possible, I'd give this 10 Stars!

Being from Morgantown, I've been following the case since Skylar initially went missing. I've been so obsessed with it, and it literally wouldn't leave my mind for days at a time. From Shelia's subtweets, to the certainty of her peers of her and Rachel's involvement, it's been so interesting to watch all of this unfold and just collapse on them. The book was beautifully executed. At times, I had to sit it down and process what I has just read. There were so many details that I was craving, and the book left me completely satisfied.
