Tonight we examine the heartbreaking and tragic story of Skylar Neese, a 16-year-old girl whose life was brutally cut short by the very people she trusted the most—her best friends. Disappearing from her home in Star City, West Virginia, in July 2012, Skylar’s case quickly shifted from a missing person investigation to a chilling tale of betrayal, jealousy, and premeditated murder.

We’ll explore who Skylar was, the toxic friendship dynamics between her and her friends, Sheila Eddy and Rachel Shoaf, and the clues that social media provided throughout the investigation. From the hidden tensions that led to her death to the months-long police investigation and the ultimate confessions that shocked the community, this story is a sobering reminder of how appearances can be deceiving, even among close friends.

Join us as we take a closer look at the events leading up to Skylar’s tragic death, the investigation that followed, and the trial that finally brought justice to her family.

At just 21, Kylie Christine Hartman was enjoying life, sharing moments with friends, and creating memories. But on the night of September 10, 2018, everything changed. Seen last at the Break-n-Run bar in Shreveport, Louisiana, potentially in the company of her ex-boyfriend, Steve Ranney, Kylie vanished without a trace. Her sudden disappearance left her loved ones desperate for answers, especially her mom, Daisha, who hadn’t heard from her since.

As details emerged, questions only deepened. Ranney, a man with a troubling past and ties to Shreveport’s real estate scene, quickly came under scrutiny. Yet, the complexities of Kylie’s own life — including an unexpected weapons charge — raised questions of their own. Did she leave to avoid trouble, or was there something, or someone, she was afraid of?

Kylie’s disappearance is only part of a haunting puzzle. Around the same time, other individuals with connections to the Shreveport area went missing or were found dead, such as Chrystal Beal and Zachary Herbert. Are these cases connected, or is it a coincidence amid Shreveport's high crime rates and growing community concerns?

In this video, we’ll explore theories, investigate the timeline, and examine potential connections between these cases. As the years pass, Kylie’s family holds out hope, determined to bring her home.

💬 Join the conversation — What do you think happened to Kylie?

In this chilling episode, we delve into the unsettling case of Nicholas Browning, a 15-year-old from a well-respected family who, in 2008, committed a shocking crime that left his entire family dead. Nicholas, described as a bright and hardworking student, was the eldest of three brothers in a family that seemed outwardly perfect. His father, John Browning, was a successful lawyer and active community member, while his mother, Tammy, was a devoted housewife. However, beneath the surface, tensions ran high between Nicholas and his parents, especially his father, with whom he frequently clashed.

On February 2, 2008, Nicholas was dropped off at a friend’s house for a sleepover. The next day, after a series of suspicious phone calls and odd behaviors, Nicholas returned home with friends to discover his family had been murdered. His calm demeanor and attempts to frame the tragedy as a botched robbery quickly unraveled, leading investigators to focus on him as the prime suspect. His confession revealed a chilling premeditated plan driven by underlying resentment toward his family.

Throughout the investigation, Nicholas’ disturbing lack of remorse and conflicting statements deepened suspicions. His claims of abuse, as well as his attempts to implicate others, were seen as thinly veiled excuses. In the end, Nicholas confessed to the murders and was sentenced to four life sentences. However, due to his age, he may be eligible for parole in 2031.

This episode explores the complexities of Nicholas Browning’s case, the psychological tensions within the Browning family, and the aftermath of a crime that shocked an entire community. Join us as we piece together the harrowing details of this tragic case and seek to understand what drove a young boy to commit such an unspeakable act.
