"16-year old Skylar Neese disappeared from her Star City, West Virginia, home on July 6, 2012. While initially treated as a runaway, investigators soon came to believe something more sinister had happened to her. A break in the case came when six months later Rachel Shoaf admitted that she and another teenager, Shelia Eddy, Skylar's two best friends, had lured Skylar out of her apartment that night, driven her to a remote back road in Pennsylvania and stabbed her to death." via https://skylarneesemurder.com/.

Per the FBI: "Alonzo Brooks attended a party at a rural house outside of La Cygne, Kansas, the night of April 3, 2004. When Alonzo didn’t return home from the party, his family called authorities in Linn County, Kansas. The Linn County Sheriff’s Department launched a search. Almost a month later, Alonzo was still missing when his family organized a search party of approximately 50 volunteers. On May 1, 2004, they found his body located in brush in a creek in Linn County. An autopsy was not able to determine the cause of death. Alonzo was 23 years old at the time of his death. He was described as being mild-mannered and a good-humored person. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the FBI Kansas City office at 816-512-8200 or the Tips Hotline at 816-474-TIPS or submit a tip online at “tips.fbi.gov”.

Jan Niesel was murdered in 1974 in Ashland, Kentucky. The small community was rocked by this tragedy and there's still a lot of mystery and speculation surrounding this case today. Luckily, we were able to speak with a very reliable, yet anonymous, source who was able to offer us research, transcripts and her own personal account of the murder investigation. Please note that while the first half of today's episode was thoroughly fact-checked, the latter half consists of opinions and speculation.

Also, if you are able, please contribute to our uncle's GoFundMe. If not, all well wishes/prayers/vibes/positive energy and shares of the link are truly appreciated: https://gf.me/u/y6hkyv
