The music in the background was strange. It didn’t match up with the dialogue or the storyline. It made the podcast seem like a Charlie Brown movie and not based on real events.

This is a very compelling and disturbing. Well worth a podcast. Things that could have been improved: The pauses, poor quality recordings, people rambling about second-hand information, narrators’ tones of voices using over dramatic story telling, the out of order timeline, all made it hard to...Read full review »

Young people need much more education about acceptance and processing their emotions. The brains of teenagers are not fully formed and they should not act on emotion because it could ruin their life.

I really enjoyed this podcast!

Just binge listened to the whole 1st season. Very thorough in their telling of the story and how they included Skylar’s parents was such an important part of the story.
Janisrodgers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/24
This podcast is well paced and I liked how the narrator stuck to Skylar’s parents and kept them in the forefront of the story. What they could lose is the Ashley Flowers weirdly enthusiastic off tone ads opening nearly every episode. 😒

Incredibly tragic story that’s poorly told. The narrative thread devolves into a bunch of bad-quality recordings of people rambling on about this or that. A series in desperate need of editing
Carlosdynamo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/24
The subject matter is a sad one and I appreciate learning about Skylar and the efforts to bringing her killers to justice. That said this podcast is about twice as long as it needs to be and doesn’t have a clear narrative sequence of events due to insufficient editing. At times it was difficult...Read full review »

Well done story, thoughtful. Among the what-ifs, the one thing that is never mentioned is the impact living in a society more accepting of gay and queer people might have had on the teens’ decision making. The motive - fear of being outed - would have been eliminated.

Terrible story done well. Not too lengthy.
Jojo of the swamp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/24
Snooze fest. The journalism is good. The story is horrific but great to tell. The hosts are so boring, and unenthusiastic.
LimFaK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/24
The story itself is horrific and for the most part well told. But the constant mispronunciation of monongahela is beyond annoying and frustrating. It diminishes the work done.
Nctwinmom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/24
The storytelling is excellent, and really captivating! Sadly the editing is a bit awkward in places, and breaks the immersion.
Finnur2412 via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 08/30/24
I just binged listened to this amazingly done series. It was so well done. My heart brakes for the family. No family ever should go through this. I send my love and condolences to the family 💕
CasYac via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/26/24
On my third re-listen of this. You all did a wonderful job. I knew of Skylar’s case before this, and I so appreciate the deep dive. Appreciate hearing from the family, and the deep, respectful empathy by the hosts is palpable. Thank you to Skylar’s family. She may be forever 16, but she will be...Read full review »

The narrators captured my interest from the start. I have always been a fan of Forensic Files. These episodes reminded me so much of that powerful fact telling narration. I felt I was right there as they found more evidence. With that being said my heart goes out to all of those affected by this...Read full review »

Very well done, and respectfully so. Had to skip past all the tweets and texts they read, the clicking in the background—my misophonia could never 😞

This podcast is keeping Skylar’s memory alive. Yes, this podcast also informs us of her horrific death, but also reminds us of her life and how she continues to touch people’s lives today. I loved listening to the family and friends speak about Skylar. Thank you to Skylar’s parents for continuing...Read full review »

I’ve heard and seen various shows telling the heartbreakingly sad and horrifying story of Skylar’s murder, but this one was by far the best. Well organized and clearly told by the hosts along with family members and the detectives who solved the case.
JJLFdT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/24
This podcast was very well done. Sad for everyone involved but one of the best true crime podcasts I’ve listened to.
Rsw7158 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/24
I have been following Skylar’s story since before both killers were exposed, through a chance reading of a forum local to Morgantown that was full of gossip, a lot of which turned out to be true. I needed to see justice for Skylar and make sure her killers are still imprisoned. I think Rachel...Read full review »
JudgeMental872 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/24
Great in-depth telling of this case. Definitely one that Netflix or Hulu should produce as a movie!
amherg34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/24
This story was told well & made interesting with the interview segments throughout. It took me a minute to get each girl’s face straight in my mind; Shelia with long dirty blonde hair, Rachel red hair. And throughout the show multiple people referenced the girls looks; “such pretty girls”....Read full review »

A tragic story I knew nonetheless I binged the whole season. 10/10
Justtttoya via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/17/24
I’ve only listened to episode 1 but I already know this is a 10/10. It’s hard to find shows/podcasts that really captivate the audience. I’ve just got to work and already can’t wait for my break so I can continue listening. Please do more shows like this! 👌🏻🤞🏻

Was not aware of this story until I listened to the podcast. Brilliantly told by hosts and handled so well. RIP Skylar xx

Skylar’s story is so heartbreaking and these two women tell it well, with lots of love for Skylar and her family. You’ll get invested, you’ll get upset, you’ll want to know why all of this happened. You can tell Justine and Holly care about this case and the Neese family. The production on the...Read full review »

I couldn’t get past episode 4 because episode 5 is just the commercial for “Drowning” over and over again on this platform and Spotify. What’s the deal? So frustrating.
Felini-1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/24
The hosts pronounce Appalachia incorrectly
raadarted via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/24
I’d give it 5 stars if it weren’t for the trooper who is highlighted in almost every episode who has zero filter, got kicked off the case, and should literally have been fired for his insubordination, misogyny, and harm to the case. You’d think the two women running this podcast would not have...Read full review »

So well put together. The emotions are delicately harvested and respectfully conveyed.
Abby19702 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/25/24
Ernest Hemingway in East of Eden wrote of Cathy that monsters with pretty faces are born among us. Sheila is one of those monsters. And I am convinced that Rachel is too. I hope Sheila is never released to a walk among us. And I hope Rachel spends every one of her 30 years sentence.
Houston Holiday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/24
My major issue with true crime is the white-centricism of it. The host begins the podcast with a reference to an article she wrote about the effects of social media on empathy. Well, a white teenager’s level of empathy is verrry different from a BIPOC teenager’s. Furthermore, the victim is called...Read full review »

This was such an interesting case but the host told a one dimensional story and made it SOOOO boring how?
Thisgirllovescountry123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/24
Really well done podcast. I already knew the story so I was hesitant to listen. So many details and things you may not have known. Interviews with police officers and detectives add to the story. Great job.
haleyd222 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/24
I ended up reading a summary of the crime online after getting half way through episode 2, I’m glad I continued to listen to the entire series though. They did an excellent job highlighting the individuals touched by this horrific crime as well as the buildup to the confession. While it may seem...Read full review »

An excellent, respectful retelling. My sympathy continues to extend to Dave and Mary for their loss. I really recommend listening and spreading awareness.
Be44a via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/27/24
I almost didn’t listen to this since in knew the basic story of what happened. So glad I listened though. Even if you think you know… wow… hearing Skylar’s dad speak just broke me. Wonderfully interviewed, recorded, and produced.
ANewJennaration via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/24
I’m very interested in the story and the way it’s told is good, it’s a shame the sound quality is bad a lot of the time. Low quality phone interviews and on/off white noise is not pleasant to listen to, takes away from the story.
Stiveso via Apple Podcasts · Finland · 05/26/24
This podcast was done really well and gives the listener the full experience into this case. I found feeling so many emotions. The amount of empathy and sadness I felt as I listened to this horrific story unfold sometime had me lost in time. This case couldn’t have been told any better. As...Read full review »
SjanelD22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/24
I think the writers were scared to explore the cultural situation relative to the two girls being lesbians. Otherwise why not start out with that rather than saying they were “closer” to each other than to Skyler? Why not explore what life was like in town for any other lesbians. Rachel seems...Read full review »
Platner Brook via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/24
Excellent podcast. Hard to listen to. Had me in tears several times. Very similar to the attack of the young girl by her friends due to Slenderman.
khevans via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/24
I was aware of this story from listening to other crime podcasts, but none of them had the depth of Three. This podcast was able to give Skylar and her loving family a voice and the opportunity to tell their story the way it should be told. Highly recommend listening.
DolceVivi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/24
The story and interviews are very well done. The last episode of various psychologists and similar, is the reason I won’t not give 5 stars. Too subjective and completely unnecessary. It’s not a “hard science”. I’ve been in the field, the closest to reality is the gentleman’s view. The rest is...Read full review »

I’ve only recently started listening to podcasts, and since True Crime is a genre I love anyway, I figured I’d start there. This story was a great place to start and well done, thanks for telling it.
