In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we step into the woods of West Virginia to revisit one of the most chilling betrayals in modern teen crime history—the murder of Skylar Neese. Her killers? Two girls she considered her best friends.

They laughed together. Fought. Forgave. And then… they planned her murder for an entire year.

How does friendship become fatal? What kind of peer pressure turns into premeditated murder? And why did they count to three?

Join me as we explore:

• The complicated friendship triangle of Skylar, Sheila, and Rachel—and how jealousy quietly unraveled their bond.
 • The night Skylar snuck out for the last time, and the moments leading up to her murder.
 • The cover-up, social media clues, and the shocking confessions that followed.
 • The mental health unraveling of Rachel Shoaf, and what really made her crack.
 • What “Skylar’s Law” means, and why it could save lives today.
 • Where Sheila Eddy and Rachel Shoaf are now—and what justice looks like, 14 years later.

This isn’t just a case of “mean girls.” This is a case of manipulation, secrecy, and a crime so senseless it stunned the nation.
