My daughter, 16, was murdered by stalker ex – then cops found out her own FRIENDS helped killer hatch ‘zombie' plot
WHEN Janet Leflar met her teenage daughter's boyfriend for the first time, her first impression was that of a polite boy. She could never have known that Skylar Prockner would destroy her world with a sickening Advertisement 8 Mum Janet, seen here with her daughter Hannah, has been left heartbroken by her murder Credit: Supplied 8 Hannah Leflar was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend Skylar Prockner Credit: Supplied 8 Prockner, seen here with Hannah, had plotted the murder with a school friend before stabbing Hannah in her home Credit: Supplied Janet, who lives on Prince Edward Island, Canada, recalls: 'He seemed a nice kid, tall and broad for his age, with long curly hair and a guitar slung over his back. 'Hannah had mentioned him before, and when she told me she liked him, I could only approve. It was sweet to see Hannah blossoming.' Advertisement Describing Hannah as "shy and a little nerdy", Janet says her daughter had never been a typical teen, preferring to play Call of Duty with her stepdad, Wade or her friend Matt. Janet says: 'Around the age of 15, I'd noticed my smart and pretty daughter coming out of her shell. 'Skylar started coming round a couple of times a week, and he and Hannah would see each other at weekends too. 'Skylar was her first boyfriend, but she wasn't your typical infatuated teen girl, and often she and Skylar would hang out with other kids at our house. 'I was always impressed with how considerate Skylar was about keeping the noise down.' Advertisement However, one day, Hannah let something slip that instantly concerned Janet. She says: 'She told me that Skylar's last girlfriend was scared of him." 'She tried to dismiss it as 'stupid', but I told her it was a red flag and that she should keep her eyes open.' Man who stabbed woman to death as she slept confesses to her murder Eight months into Hannah and Prockner's relationship, Janet began to notice her daughter becoming withdrawn, and more worrying signs emerged. Janet told The Sun: 'Skylar had told her that if she ever broke up with him, he'd kill himself. Advertisement 'I recognised his threat as a classic control technique and tried to reassure her that it wouldn't happen and that if it did, he had bigger problems than her.' Eventually, Hannah broke things off, and Janet noticed her return to her usual, happier self and seemed relieved. She added: 'It was sad her first relationship had ended messily, but I was proud of how she'd set a boundary and refused to be controlled by a possessive boy. 'Is Hannah alive?' But Prockner wasn't prepared to let sleeping dogs lie, and in May that year, things took a more sinister turn. The 49-year-old said: 'He was essentially stalking her, pestering Hannah at school, on social media and her phone." Advertisement By summer, Prockner's concerning behaviour came to an end, and by autumn the two teens were friends again. 'When they went to a movie together, I warned Hannah that Skylar probably wanted to get back together,' she says. 'She later found out that was the case and told him they were just friends.' Hannah started seeing another boy, and shortly after, Prockner's obsessive behaviour returned - becoming even more intense. Janet recalls: 'He began stalking her again and even driving past our house. Advertisement 'Hannah was desperate for it to stop, so I called his mum. 'It had no effect, but shortly afterwards, he dropped out of school and their paths crossed less.' In November 2014, as Hannah turned 16, Prockner began driving by the family home once again. But just months later, Janet was away on a business trip working as an auditor for a weight loss group, when she received a worrying call from her partner, Wade. I screamed. I just knew it was Skylar Janet Leflar Janet says: 'He told me to come home, and he sounded serious. Advertisement 'He wouldn't tell me why, but I did as he said, but I felt very uneasy. 'The only thing I could come up with was that Hannah was hurt. I texted Wade asking him to reassure me that she was OK, but he didn't respond.' Janet was 30 minutes from home when Wade called again and told her not to go home but to come straight to the police station. She recalls: 'I was really scared, I asked him if Hannah was alive, but he just told me to get there as quickly as I could. 'I couldn't bring myself to ask any more questions; I didn't want to hear the answers.' Advertisement A detective met Janet at the police station. There, he informed her that Hannah had been stabbed to death by her ex, Skylar, inside their home. Janet says: 'I screamed. I just knew it was Skylar." 8 Janet, seen with Hannah, says that her boyfriend became obsessive and began stalking her Credit: Supplied 8 At Hannah's funeral, Janet wrote in her eulogy how lucky she felt to have been her mum Credit: Supplied 8 Hannah's killer was sentenced as an adult for the brutal murder Advertisement Wade explained to Janet that he had found Hannah on the floor of their bedroom, surrounded by blood. He called the emergency number, and the operator talked him through chest compressions. But Wade spotted a large wound on her neck, realising she'd been stabbed and was already dead. That night, police arrested Prockner at his home. The next morning, they arrested a second suspect, Hannah and Prockner's mutual friend Matt. 'That was a huge shock,' Janet says, 'He'd been in our home so many times.' Advertisement The autopsy showed Hannah had been stabbed nine times, with the fatal wound a knife blow to the back of her head. Chilling 'zombie' murder plot In May 2015, the detectives finished their investigation, and the family when then told that Skylar was not the only one who played a part in their daughter's murder. Disturbingly, up to seven schoolmates, most of whom had been in Janet's home and had been friends with Hannah, had known varying details of Prockner's plot. He called it "Project Zombify". Some of the kids, including her daughter's friend, Matt, even spied on Hannah for him. Detectives explained that Prockner had initially plotted to beat up Hannah's new boyfriend. Advertisement He had a backpack stuffed with weapons, including a nail-studded baseball bat. Over time, the plot evolved so that if Hannah protested, she'd get hurt too. Then Prockner escalated the chilling scheme, planning to kill Hannah. Janet says: 'He told some of the kids this and that he wanted to tamper with the brakes in her car. 'Nobody said anything to stop him.' On January 12 2015, Prockner and Matt waited outside Janet's home until Hannah got in from school. Advertisement Prockner charged in followed by Matt. Hannah fled before she tripped when she got to the bedroom. Prockner inflicted the wounds, but as an accomplice, Matt was also charged. Janet says: 'Detectives explained that the other kids couldn't be charged. 'Their silence was abhorrent, but, in the circumstances, not against the law. But the officer said they'd be witnesses.' Advertisement 8 Skylar Prockner eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree murder Credit: Facebook 8 Janet wants to warn others to keep an eye out for red flags so that they can 'get out fast' before they get hurt Credit: Supplied Over 1000 people were present at Hannah's funeral as her mum struggled to read out a eulogy. She says: 'We had a private family viewing before Hannah's funeral; it was so hard. 'I was unable to believe my vibrant, funny and kind girl was gone, all I could do was tell her I loved her. Advertisement 'I wrote how lucky I was to be her mum in my eulogy, but was so upset it had to be read out by someone else." 'Skylar is still a danger' At first, Prockner denied the charges but in April 2016, 14 months after killing Hannah, he suddenly changed his plea to guilty of first-degree murder. The following July there was a three-day sentence hearing, where Prockner's lawyer described how he'd been physically and verbally abused by his own mother. Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: on 0808 2000 247 for free at any time, day or night Men who are being abused can call Respect Men's Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or on 0182 3334 244 Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring on 0800 999 5428 If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999 Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. Janet says: 'I sobbed in court as he [Prockner] described Hannah 'gargling in her own blood' when he killed her. 'He'd even boasted about it to his brother. Advertisement 'The mother in me pitied Skylar for his abusive background, but I knew people who'd had a tough childhood, and none of them hurt others.' A psychiatrist described Prockner as having psychopathic tendencies before he was given an adult sentence of life and jailed for a minimum of ten years. The judge lifted the prohibition on naming him, but the same didn't apply to Matt. That September, he admitted second-degree murder. 'He claimed [Matt] never believed Skylar was actually going to kill Hannah, even as he followed him into our home,' Janet says. Advertisement 'When Skylar stabbed Hannah, he said he froze.' Matt, who was sentenced as a youth, could not be identified and got just seven years. A year later, Janet and Wade moved hundreds of miles away to the other side of the country. 'We needed to put distance between us and the horrific death of my daughter,' Janet says. It worries me how many teens like that are out there nowadays Janet Leflar 'I was worried about controlling myself in public if I saw any of the Project Zombify kids.' Advertisement In November 2021, Matt was released. Janet added: 'I believe Skylar will still be a danger when he is eventually released. 'People blamed video games and social media for the wicked silence of the Project Zombify gang. 'I don't think it was that. 'I think Skylar and his followers had too much freedom, too few responsibilities and had never faced consequences for their actions. Advertisement 'It worries me how many teens like that are out there nowadays. 'Now, all I can do is warn other women, especially young girls like Hannah, in their first relationships, to pay attention to those red flags. 'That possessiveness, jealousy and controlling behaviour is easily mistaken for the usual teen drama. 'It's not. It's a sign something's deeply wrong and a sign that your daughter, or son, needs to get out fast.'

Rotting corpses, rapes & gun-wielding gangs… how 30,000 Hurricane Katrina survivors fought for life in ‘human cauldron'
CRADLING her three-week-old son as shots rang out in the dark, Taffany Smith was told to scrape off his dirty nappies and use them again. "We pee on the floor," she sobbed. "We are like animals." Hurricane Katrina had already killed almost 2000 people and thousands more were battling to survive among decomposing corpses, excrement and the overwhelming stench of misery and human suffering. Advertisement 23 Thousands fought their way into the Superdome believing it would be safe Credit: ABC News 23 President Bush sent the National Guard in a bid to maintain order Credit: ABC News After the deadly storm swept away their homes, the sweltering Superdome was supposed to be an emergency refuge for desperate displaced people with nowhere else to go, for just a few hours. Instead they were plunged into a terrifying hellscape where guns, knives and drugs were rife, fighting for survival for days. Two people - including a child - were raped, blood stained the walls and used crack pipes littered the fetid floor. Riots erupted as starving children screamed day and night, waiting for salvation that took days to come. Advertisement READ MORE IN FEATURES At the time petrified 11-year-old Stacey Bodden told reporters: 'People started shooting last night." Her uncle, David Rodriguez said he heard at least seven shots and saw a man running with a gun. 'Don't shoot,' he pleaded. Amid the crime and constant threat of violence there were terrifying reports of stabbings, looting, murder and suicide. One man leapt 50 feet to his death, saying he had nothing left to live for. Advertisement Most read in The Sun 'We're not even dealing with dead bodies. They're just pushing them on the side," said New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin.

'You have to fight for your life. I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I say is: 'Where are my babies? Is everyone here?'" Evacuee Iiesha Rousell said at the time: "They're housing us like animals." High winds tore off the roof of the stadium, and as filthy water seeped in, temperatures soared, food rotted and all access to the outside world was cut.

"The only way I can describe it is the smell of human suffering.' Now an unflinching new National Geographic documentary, Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time, recalls the horror and chaos that unfolded as terrified residents struggled to survive not only the havoc wreaked by the brutal storm but then its tragic aftermath. The gripping five part series exposes how a natural disaster two decades ago rapidly descended into a gut wrenching man-made national disgrace leaving an enduring legacy that shattered millions of lives. Former marine Shelton Alexander was among those who believed they would shelter in the Superdome for hours - not days. Advertisement We are right here in the city and we're about to starve to death Superdome Survivor Shelton Alexander He said: "The National Guard was there, but nobody really was in charge. 'There were so many breakdowns of communication—it was chaos. "It started getting real crazy with the bathrooms getting backed up and everything. "Everybody was on edge. That's when it started getting a little chaotic. Advertisement 'To watch the elders suffering, patients sitting in the corner all day, unattended, it was just really bad. "We are right here in the city and we're about to starve to death or get dehydrated. Shots were fired "Not knowing if they would just hold us in there against our will and starve us to death crossed our mind. "We went to each gate, one by one, to see if they would let us out and they wouldn't. They were really holding us back.'

Ray Nagin, the then-mayor of New Orleans recalled: "I was among the people in the Superdome. I knew what was going on every minute. I did not have air conditioning nor shower facilities." Superdome manager Doug Thornton added: "We're not a hospital, we're not a hotel. We can't house people for five or six days." 23 The shelter was well ordered for the first few hours but descended into carnage Credit: KTVT-TV Advertisement 23 Hundreds begging to be allowed inside were turned away Credit: CNN But still today, many struggling to rebuild their lives blame government failure for the slow response and lack of aid - likening the widespread chaos that followed the storm to a war zone. Due to a series of systematic blunders, authorities struggled to work out a plan to evacuate them to safety.

People said they felt abandoned by humanity. The only way I can describe it is the smell of human suffering Reporter Thanh Truong But even after the Category Five hurricane had passed over the city, flood water continued to rise at a terrifying rate and conditions quickly deteriorated. New Orleans is surrounded by a series of walls known as levees built to reduce the risk of flooding from lakes, canals and the Mississippi River - but the intensity of the storm smashed through the defences. While President Bush flew over in Air Force One and declared the situation a natural disaster, locals believed the situation was man made and could have been avoided. Advertisement They put the crisis down to the shoddy design and construction of the levees in the wake of Hurricane Betsy in the 1960s. As the levee walls collapsed, parts of the city flooded at an alarming rate, sweeping away hundreds of houses, and leaving thousands of terrified people trapped in theirs. 23 Residents tried to find refuge in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Credit: Global Imageworks, LLC. 23 Stranded residents gathered underneath motorway bridges Credit: KTVT-TV Advertisement 23 Eventually aid arrived and was distributed to residents Credit: CNN Resident Lucrece Philips said: 'Everything changed that day.

'They were brought to the Superdome because there was nowhere else to go. 'It was desperation - but they were coming to another hell.'

After five days, tens of thousands were still waiting, struggling for survival and sharing what scraps of food they could find until the armed National Guard relief convoy finally rumbled into town in tanks and armoured vehicles. Slowly elderly people and children were evacuated by school buses and sent to the airport, but main roads leading out of the city were blocked, and desperate families trying to leave on foot were stopped. Malik Rahim added: 'I'm not a naive person but nothing prepared me for what happened after Katrina.' Advertisement They were brought to the Superdome because there was nowhere else to go. It was desperation - but they were coming to another hell Police officer Ed Bush Over the following months almost a million displaced refugees were rehoused in 30 different states, in the largest mass migration the US had seen since the 1930s. When the water eventually receded, many attempted to return to New Orleans but were heartbroken to find their homes vandalised and in ruins among the wreckage. In October the search for survivors ended and the official death toll stood at 1,392. Over the following years money was poured into rebuilding the levees and returning people to their communities. Advertisement A government scheme called The Road Home was set up to cover the cost of relocating, repairs and rebuilding the hardest hit areas - but thousands were told they were not eligible for payouts and found themselves caught up in overwhelming red tape. One of the worst affected neighbourhoods, the Lower Ninth Ward is still a ghost town - before the hurricane the population was over 14,000, now it is just 4,630. And, twenty years after the disaster that devastated New Orleans, experts fear that global warming and rising sea levels may mean that another natural disaster could turn into a tragedy again. 23 A baby is carried away from the superdome Credit: Reuters Advertisement 23 Evacuees from the Superdome argue line up for a bus trip to the Houston Astrodome days after Hurricane Katrina Credit: Dallas Morning News
