Fifty stab wounds from her best friends
from True Crime Vanished · host Creator at Obomedia
Fifty stab wounds from her best friends: The murder of Skyler Neese Skyler Neese climbed out of her window on the night of July 6, 2012, to meet her two best childhood friends. She never returned home. What the security camera did not capture was that Celia Eddy and Rachel Shoaf would attack her in the woods with over 50 stab wounds, burying her body under rocks next to a stream in Pennsylvania. For months, both killers cried alongside their families and helped in the search as if they were innocent victims. In this episode, we explore how one night in August 2011—when Celia and Rachel were intimate while Skyler watched helplessly—triggered nine months of meticulous planning. We analyze Skyler's diary, the cell phone triangulation in the Blacksville woods that contradicts their stories, and Rachel's confession under psychological collapse that reveals knives, bleach, and prepared rags in the trunk. What real motive led Celia to be the main executor if the secret compromised Rachel more?
