In 2012, 16-year-old Skylar Neese was brutally stabbed to death by her two best friends. She had been feeling left out of their trio, so she was excited when they invited her to hang out on the evening of July 6th. That night, Skylar snuck out through her bedroom window, but by the next morning her parents discovered her bed empty. Her friends told police that they had dropped her off later that night and claimed not to know what happened to her. For over six months, the case remained a mystery until one of the girls finally broke down and confessed. During that time, both girls even posted on social media about how devastated they were over Skylar’s disappearance. When investigators asked why they had decided to kill their best friend, one of the girls chillingly replied, “We didn’t like her anymore.”Click here for all of our links!TRUE CRIME TRIVIA NIGHT:Thursday, September 11thSeeing Double Speakeasy BarNorth Olmsted, OHQuestions start at 7:00, get there at 6:30Call 440-641-1267 to reserve a table (we highly recommend)https://www.seeingdoublecle.com/Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.
