NEW LIMITED SERIES: Three: After midnight on July 6th, 2012, three teenage girls walked into the thick Appalachian woods somewhere along the Mason-Dixon county line. Hours later, under the glow of a nearly full moon, only two walked out. The very last time Dave and Mary Neese saw their only child Skylar was in a grainy black-and-white video. In it, she's sneaking out of her ground-floor bedroom in the middle of the night, her purse over her shoulder, her brown hair swinging as she hurries across the small parking lot to a waiting car. What happened to Skylar Neese has become gothic American lore: the odd girl out in a vicious teenage triangle. But in the ten years since that fateful night beneath the West Virginia stars, a fuller portrait of what happened has emerged. From award-winning journalists Justine Harman and Holly Millea comes a gripping 10-part series featuring Skylar's family, closest friends, and law enforcement who lived the case—and are still living it. by KILLED

The Murder of Denise Anderson: Everyone knew that Denise Anderson was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend, Sheldon Davis. He was stalking her, had physically assaulted her, vandalized her car, and threatened her. Denise had gone to the police three times looking for help. But the law was clear: the police couldn’t arrest Sheldon Davis on Domestic abuse charges, because Denise wasn’t dating him anymore. By law, they were just “estranged friends.” When her body was found at the end of the summer in 2019, dead inside a burning apartment, there really wasn’t any question about who killed Denise. Everyone only wondered, why wasn’t Sheldon stopped sooner? by Crime Salad

One month after her disappearance, on May 27, 1992, the search for another missing local girl would uncover a body that wouldn’t be identified for nearly 20 years.
