It Was A Perfect DNA Match
This means the cops had both the body and the confession. They then compared blood samples found in Shelia’s car trunk to Skylar’s DNA. Shelia Eddy was apprehended by authorities on May 1, 2013. She was eating with her mum at Cracker Barrel at the time. The cops waited for her outside the restaurant and arrested her as soon as she went out the door for first-degree murder.

Rachel Shoaf and Shelia Eddy were fatigued as grownups despite the fact that they were both only 16 years old. Finally, in January 2014, she pleaded guilty to the murder of her best friend. She was sentenced to life in prison with the chance of parole after fifteen years. Many individuals who have followed the case believe she will spend the rest of her life in prison. Rachel, on the other hand, received a lighter punishment. She was only convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to thirty years in prison. We’re guessing this has something to do with her complete confession and aiding in the discovery of the body. Despite this, let us not forget that she, along with Shelia, murdered someone.
