Skybaz is a documentary film examining the 2012 murder of Skylar Neese, a teenager from West Virginia whose closest friends became the central suspects in her disappearance and death, raising questions about trust, loyalty, and the role of social media in modern relationships.
What is Skybaz about?
In 2012, sixteen-year-old Skylar Neese vanished from her home in Star City, West Virginia. What began as a missing-persons case slowly transformed into a criminal investigation that shocked her community. As detectives pieced together the events leading to her disappearance, evidence pointed toward two of her closest companions. The documentary traces the timeline of events, the investigators who worked the case, and the digital footprints that proved instrumental in uncovering the truth. It examines how an ordinary teenage friendship collapsed into something far darker, and what warning signs, if any, those around them could have recognized.
