Reward offered for bench stolen from memorial site of slain West Virginia teen

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — A bench placed at the memorial site of a murdered West Virginia teen has been stolen.

The Mountain Renegades Motorcycle club restored the bench for Skylar Neese and placed it at the site just over the West Virginia-Pennsylvania border.

Neese’s family wants the bench back.

“I’m going to look everywhere I can for it,” Skylar’s father, Dave Neese, said. “It’s not the fact that it was a bench that cost $100. It doesn’t matter about the money. It’s the love that went into it, and the reason it was put here.”

The motorcycle club is offering a reward for the bench’s return.

In 2012, Neese, who was 16 at the time, was lured into the woods and stabbed to death by two girls who are now serving several years in prison.
