H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H. 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.

Driving down the narrow back road, the headlights of the car bore holes through the dark. What's done was done.

The surrounding forest had muffled the sounds

of the sudden unthinkable violence.

Where there was laughing, then screaming, there is now silence.

Where there was struggle and carnage, there is now stillness.

But listen closely. Six feet from where Skyler's body has been abandoned, the faint babbling of a creek.

A cell phone, lost in the chaos, fell between the creek and skyler, whose multicolored blouse and yellow

shorts are thick with blood and mud.

For months, her body lay decomposing,

hidden beneath a canopy of pine and oak trees,

first absorbing humidity, then freezing over with ice.

For months, she waited for someone to find her, but no one knew she was there.

No one could imagine what had actually happened.

For months, rumors swirled, and still no one came.

Anybody who has any information, we're urging them to call if you've seen this young lady anywhere.

By the way, there have been 172 sightings and law enforcement told us just a couple of minutes ago

that none of them have panned out thus far.
