Rachael Neblett

Rachael Collins Neblett (January 6, 1989 - October 9, 2006) was a seventeen-year old student at Bullitt East High School, had that bubbling contagious spirit that draws friends easily. At under 5 feet tall, her small stature was an advantage in gymnastics and cheerleading. Rachael had a passion for sunglasses and lip gloss, It was her trademark. She loved animals, her friends, and especially her family to whom she was very close. It seemed Rachael could tell her parents anything. Or so they thought.

But, during the summer of 2006 she received threatening emails through her MySpace account. Desperation came early in October when Rachael received an email stating " I am not going to put you in the hospital, I am going to put you in the morgue." After receiving that email, Rachael did not want to go to school or go out with her friends.

On October 9, 2006, Rachael shot herself. In April 2007, a good friend of hers named Kristin Settles committed suicide. She left a note asking to be buried next to her friend Rachael.
