SE will have to wait for an open bed at the adult detention center.
Will they still be at full capacity in 15 years? If so will it mean an earlier parole for SE/RS??
Let's hope not.

"MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) A West Virginia teenager who admitted killing her former friend is scheduled for sentencing Feb. 26 in Monongalia County Circuit Court.
The Dominion Post (http://bit.ly/1dxuA7u) reports that Rachel Shoaf's sentencing date was scheduled this week for the slaying of 16-year-old Skylar Neese in July 2012.
Shoaf pleaded guilty last May to second-degree murder. She and Shelia Eddy lured Neese out of her bedroom in Star City, drove her to a secluded spot, then stabbed her to death.
Shoaf told police the two no longer wanted to be friends with Neese.
Eddy was sentenced last month to first-degree murder. She was sentenced to a life term, but is eligible for parole after serving 15 years.
The state will recommend a 20-year sentence for Shoaf as part of the plea agreement."

She's been transferred to Lakin already. A couple of days ago her status was waiting transfer, but today her location is Lakin Correctional Center.

Happy Birthday Skylar!
Skylar would have been 18 yo today.
I agree that her sentence is not long enough. But, I am pretty sure that in WV, minors can't be sentenced any longer than what she was. So, WV did they best they could. They gave her the maximum they could.
Perhaps it's time the change the law there.
Happy Birthday in Heaven Skylar.

If you want to pre-order the book, just go to Amazon.com and type in "Skylar Neese". I'm unable to link, for some reason.
Book Description
Publication Date: February 18, 2014
Journalist Daleen Berry and investigator Geoffrey Fuller give you the little-known details behind one of the most horrific and shocking murders of our time.
One hot July night, three popular, pretty girls snuck out for a midnight joyride. Only two came back.
Stabbed so savagely she was almost decapitated, Skylar Neese was left bloody on the side of the road, buried beneath rocks and branches.
For six months, people wondered and waited, hoping Skylar would return. Instead, the community was stunned when Rachel Shoaf confessed to Skylars murder. The budding actress and singer accused the third member of the inseparable trio, Shelia Eddy, of being the ringleader. People were even more shocked to learn the murder was not a crime of sudden ragebut premeditated.
Now, friends, family, and the public are left with so many unanswered questions: Why did investigators believe her murder was connected to a rash of bank robberies and an interstate heroin ring? What part did drugs and social media play in Skylars killing and its aftermath? How did other high school students and even her own mother help discover who killed Skylar? And, if Rachels confession is true, what would lead two teenage girls to kill their best friend in one of the most horrific crimes in recent years?
With firsthand interviews with those close to the case and written in cooperation with the victim's parents, Dave and Mary Neese, The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese is the most comprehensive, detailed and in-depth source on the Skylar Neese murder.
All I can find is the kindle edition. I want the actual book.

Me and my husband drove through Star City on our way to the store just now...I'm shocked that there aren't missing posters for this girl up anywhere on the main drag! Star City is a very small area in Morgantown but it's located where all the major traffic comes through, it's a hub near the entrance/exit to town from the highway. Just a few large, well-placed signs next to the road would help get the story/Skylar's face out there. She's probably not in town, but every little bit counts...
Haven't heard anyone mention it around town, either. Maybe I will print out some flyers.
Wow, the coverage for this girl needs to be stepped up. She is absolutely adorable and so many things could have happened to her. Why does it matter HOW they leave, they are still in just as much danger.
thanks for all the updates.
how many years did shelia and rachel get.
