Some said that the killer couldn't be a local. Others claimed that he was the wealthy son of a prominent Morgantown family. Whispers spread that Mared and Karen were sacrificed by a satanic cult or had been victims of a madman poised to strike again. Then the handwritten letters began to arrive: "You will locate the bodies of the girls covered over with brush--look carefully. The animals are now on the move." Investigators didn't find too few suspects--they had far too many. There was the campus janitor with a fur fetish, the "harmless" deliveryman who beat a woman nearly to death, the nursing home orderly with the bloody broomstick and the bouncer with the "girlish" laugh who threatened to cut off people's heads. Local authors Geoffrey C. Fuller and S. James McLaughlin tell the complete story of the murders for the first time. Geoffrey C. Fuller has written for literary and commercial magazines and contributed to twenty-five fiction and nonfiction books. He is the author of the novel Full Bone Moon and the true crime books Pretty Little Killers and The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese (a New York Times bestseller). S. James McLaughlin is a podcast producer of Appalachian Mysteria. Written and produced in West Virginia, the series covers unresolved cases in Appalachia.

Geoffrey Fuller and Sarah James McLaughlin
Skylar Neese was a cute young 16 year old at University High School in Star City, West Virginia. She was an awesome student, dreamed of being an attorney, and was well-liked by so many people. Though she had several close friends, she was known as being besties with Sheila and Rachel. They were inseparable. Until, one day, they weren't. Skylar went missing the summer after her sophomore year and suspicions began to surround Sheila and Rachel. And rightfully so. In part two of our coverage of this case, we focus on the police's investigation and how they slowly tightened the noose around these two girls.SHOW NOTESDaleen Berry & Geoffrey C.
