Va. slayings suspect put violent rap songs on Web


One of several songs posted on his MySpace page under his stage name talks about the thrill of killing someone. A friend confirmed the site and the songs were McCroskey's.

"You're not the first, just to let you know. I've killed many people and I kill them real slow. It's the best feeling, watching their last breath. Stabbing and stabbing till there's nothing left," McCroskey sings in "My Dark Side."

I wonder if this was a home invasion or he knew these four people.
 
I'm curious too. He is from California. Farmville is a TINY town here in Virginia. I wonder what brought him to the victims?

This happened less than 20 minutes from where I live. The rumor mill has been strangely quiet.

Here is the latest article:

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/state_regional/article/FARMUP_20090919-234403/294271/

Police captured a young California man at Richmond International Airport yesterday and charged him in the slayings of four people at the Farmville home of a Longwood University professor.

Farmville police confirmed only the identity of Mark Niederbrock, pastor at Walker's Presbyterian Church in the Hixburg area of Appomattox County, among the victims found Friday at the home of Debra S. Kelley, a Longwood professor from whom he was separated. The other victims were females, police said.

Kelley and Niederbrock have a daughter, Emma. Another teen was believed to be visiting at the home.
 
I think that this is another of his myspace pages:

Notice the message RIP Emma and Mel

Here is a video of his room

YouTube - HD Testing
 
The owners of his recording lable have posted a press release about the murders on the official website.

From what I understand, on Sept 12 Emma Kelly and Sam met at a music festival in Michigan called "Strictly For The Wicked Festival". I am not sure if Melanie was there too.

After the festival Sam went to stay at the Kelly farm in Virginia. Melanie Wells was staying at Emmas there too. Not long after arriving, they were murdered together with Emma's parents.

Melanie's mother called police when she did not hear from her daughter. Police went to the house and Sam answered the door and said the daughter had gone to the movies.

Melanie's mother called the recoding studio (why, I am not sure) and spoke to Razakel and SickTanicK (the owners) called around for information. After a while, someone called back and said that Sam had contacted them saying he had killed everyone. They called police and Melanie's mother. Police returned to the house and this time smelled a decomposing body.

Pretty sure that this is her myspace. Still lookin for Mel's

A memorial that is posted on several myspace friends pages.

After looking through some of these myspace pages and websites I really dread hearing about this crime scene.

On the press release they said that Melanie was "Free Abortions". I googled that togther with Melanie and came up with this:

lildemondog, the accused murder left a comment on her most recent blog post on 27 August.

Watch out, the blog posts are pretty rough.

"When it's friends, and loved ones ," said Farmville resident Michael Phelan. "I don't have the words. It's a sad day."
Phelan used to teach with the criminal justice professor.
He says he spent hours inside their home discussing her two favorite academic topics-- homicide and violence.
Neighbors and friends keep vigil around the home at 505 First Avenue, still in disbelief such horrific violence could happen here.
"Farmville, this is small town USA," he said. "Nothing happens here."
 
Sam's last log in on this myspace page is 14 September (probably before the murders). Shows his mood as "super excited"
http://www.myspace.com/lildemondog_wir

His last log in on this page is 18 September, the day the bodies were discovered. Shows his mood as "determined"
http://www.myspace.com/lildemondog

Melanie's last log is was 15 September. Her mood was "havin a blast" and her icons showed little hearts floating
http://www.myspace.com/stabwound_orgasm

Emma's last log in was 14 September. Her mood was blazenBamBooka (which I do not understand). The icon was an unhappy face...hmmm
 
On June 10 Melanie wrote a comment on a photo in Sam's myspace blog. She wrote: "i used to have that shirt but i gave it away. lol". It appears that she gave him the shirt he was wearing. This means that they had contact well before the concert in Michigan.

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/ind...ID=358445616&albumID=1034160&imageID=13195742

not necessarily - perhaps she had one too & gave it to someone else ... the shirt he's wearing in that pic doesn't look particularly tight & she looks to have been a tiny girl so if she first owned that shirt, it would've had to have been way too big for her (maybe someone can find pics of her wearing that shirt to compare)

my feeling is that that comment really doesn't mean anything in the context of their relationship

MOO

Apparently he and Emma have started an online relationship sometime around Feb 2009. You can tell they have never met before, because on June 20 she writes "and why is ur nic Lil Demon DOg are u short or something? lol"

By July she is writing him almost daily. On August 19 she writes:

I guess they actually met for the first time on September 6. Emma's last post is 8 September when she writes:

Sept 19(11:25 a.m): Richmond International Airport police arrest Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey.
 
This statement seems very interesting to me:

At least two of the bodies were so badly decomposed that they will have to be identified by dental records, said Dennis Sercombe, a Longwood vice president.

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/state_regional/article/FARMUP_20090919-234403/294271/

This implies to me that there may have initially been two murders and the other two murders may have happened later. Of course, this is just speculation. There could be other reasons for two bodies to decompose more quickly (heat, environment, etc).
