It's in my final minutes of being alive, and uh, to anybody that finds this, I want you to tell my parents I

love them deeply, and I'm very sorry for doing this to my brother, Sinister, AKA Eric. Um, and Emily, I love you guys deeply.

I'm sorry for going this route. I know I said to myself, the truth isn't always what it seems at first glance. The man in

the self-recorded footage wasn't someone burdened with guilt for his actions. Behind those misleading words of regret

hid a far darker truth. In the complete recording clip that follows, watch how his fake pretense fades, revealing his

true emotions. All right, so um, I'm making this video because if anybody finds this, um, I really don't know what I'm trying

to say, and just I'm breathless at what I've done, and I apologize. I know I'm

going to pay for my consequences. You know, I wish that I could have not done this, but I just lost my mind. I

snapped, and I did what I did, and I got to pay for it now. My consequences... I'm

like, all shaky and stuff, but like, to anybody that finds this, tell my parents that like I love them and I'm

very sorry for doing this, and uh, there's nothing really else to say. To everybody that is probably going to hate me for

this, I'm sorry, and uh, I had to do it. My mind just snapped; I couldn't control it

anymore. That's it. To the big world, everybody in the world, I can't stand this

place. This is Richard McCroskey, and what you just saw was his chilling confession, recorded moments after he brutally ended

the lives of four innocent people. When he spoke about the smell he could no longer take in, it was the smell of the

dead bodies that were left to rot while he stood right between them to record his twisted apology on tape.

The neighbors had started to notice the unbearable stench that was creeping from the house down the street. What they

brushed off as the smell of a dead animal was far more horrifying in reality. Inside that house, a man, after

brutally murdering the residents, had been living for days with their decomposing bodies. When Richard finally

fled the crime scene, what he left behind was a blood-soaked horror that the police officers wouldn't have even

imagined in their darkest nightmares. Born on December 26, 1988, in California, the 20-year-old Richard Alden Samuel

McCroskey had a troubled teenage years due to bullying and family issues. With time, his fascination for dark music slowly turned

into an obsession. Horrorcore, a music genre that revolves around explicit lyrics and dark themes like violence, murder, psychological horror, gangster

urban violence, and true crime, was feeding the darkness that was growing within Richard. His parents' separation in the summer of 2009 and his mother moving

out took a toll on Richard. His teenage years weren't any better; he attended two high schools but eventually dropped out

of both. He was bullied for being different; his weight, red hair, and outcast status made him a frequent

target. By 2008, Richard was working as a part-time graphic designer and experimenting with making horrorcore

rap music. One of the disturbing lyrics that he shared on MySpace, using the name SEO Sam, was: "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." It wasn't long before Psycho Sam put these disturbing fantasies into action.

murdering in the exact way he described it in his song lyrics. The interests and hobbies that Richard indulged in were

shockingly disturbing and extremely explicit. Under the shield of his alter egos, Lil Demon Dog and Psycho Sam,

Richard would post underground horror and talk about killing people with extremely graphic and explicit details. The posters and horrorcore art he had in

his room showed his obsession with the 1970s infamous serial killer David Richard Berkowitz, AKA Son of Sam, who

claimed a demon controlled his actions. [Music] While becoming a horrorcore rapper, Richard would spend endless hours alone

in his room, absorbed in violent video games while blasting heavy metal and horrorcore music in the background. His

chilling lyrics voiced the sinister thoughts in his head, urging him to kill over and over and to go on a brutal

murder spree. Richard would even boast about vandalizing graves in his YouTube videos. "We defiled the grave and then lightning struck seconds

ago. I think we're being warned.  With the rain and now it's starting to rain, it's [__] it's not my

fault. Now it's starting to rain really hard, so peace." He would often take pictures at cemeteries and pose with

axes close to his face while enjoying his celebrity status in the horrorcore online community, which gave him a

platform to validate his inner demonic voices. Richard McCroskey crossed paths with 16-year-old Emma Neerbrock, another

online member who shared his disturbing taste in music. Using the name Ragdoll as her alter ego, Emma grew disturbingly

close to Richard. Soon they were exchanging video messages, feeding off each other's dark interests. "All right, so you wanted a

video and um, you made me videos, so and he said please, so I'll make you this video, even though I'm not can like do"

anything, because my room's kind of dirty, and yeah, I don't want to show you my dirty room, but this video is for Emma because you

just told me to say your name, so I don't know. Um, I'll make you another video once

The shyness in his behavior and trembling voice are all signs of Richard being nervous and

conscious about Emma judging him. As promised, he cleaned his room and made another video for her. All right, this

video is for you, Emma. The rag doll! Amazing, amazing rag doll! And um, I really don't know what to

do for you on video, so I guess I'll like show you my room a little bit, if that's

what you want to see. First off, we've got my door, then we've got my addiction for energy drinks, and then we've got my uh, small

underground CD collection going on right here. And then uh, we've got my wall of awesomeness, that I call it; lots of

posters and flyers, and I have, you know, them and random stuff. A hatchet? Oh no, the batter's

What started as a harmless internet friendship quickly spiraled into something terribly horrific, as their shared fantasies were soon turned into

reality. Born on October 15th, 1992, Emma Neer Brock lived with her parents, Mark

Neer Brock and Deborah Kelly, in Farmville, Virginia. Her father was a pastor at Walker's Presbyterian Church,

while her mother was a sociology and criminal justice professor at Longwood University. Homeschooled since middle

school, Emma lived with her mother after her parents divorced in early 2009. Emma went through a similar rebel teen phase

as Richard's. A girl who was described as a sweet, well-mannered child had changed her personality and appearance entirely.

Her pink hair, Gothic-style clothing, and fascination with the violent, explicit world of horrorcore hinted at a shift

that would soon take a much darker turn. What her parents believed to be a passing phase—dark, heavy makeup and

satanic aesthetics—was far from temporary. Emma had become deeply influenced by a cult and dark themes. It

was something very unsettling. By September 2009, Richard had mistaken their daily conversations as something more than just a friendship; he saw Emma as

his girlfriend even before they had met in person. She used to text him flirty messages, but no one knew how much she

truly felt for him, especially considering what was about to happen. Emma's best friend, Melanie Wells, an

18-year-old from West Virginia, shared her passion for horrorcore. Both were rebellious teenagers who found peace in

their unusual hobbies: photography and styling themselves in Gothic looks. Melanie, who went by the online persona

"Mrs. Free Abortions," used to post photos of herself in cemeteries and openly listed her unsettling interests in blood,

lust, alcohol, and open graves. The two girls had attended several horrorcore festivals, enjoying the thrill of the

dark and satanic world. When they learned about "Strictly for the Wicked," an all-day horrorcore festival scheduled for

September 12th, 2009, they were quick to make plans. But this time was about to be

different, as Richard McCrosky would be there too. After months of online conversations, the festival was set to be

the moment they would meet in person. But Emma's parents were understandably concerned about their teenage daughter

meeting up with an older man she had never met face-to-face. Despite their reservations and the strain of their

Recently divorced, Mark and Deborah decided to drive Emma, her best friend Melanie Wells, and Richard to Southgate, Michigan

for the festival. They had planned to spend their day out in the city while the girls and Richard attended the event.

At this point, Mark and Deborah were unaware that Richard's infatuation with Emma would cross into dangerous

territory. Story on September 6th, Richard McCroskey departed California to reach Virginia for the long-awaited meeting

with his online girlfriend, Emma Neer. Brock could hardly wait to meet him. On September 7th, she posted an affectionate

message on his MySpace that read, "Next time you check your MySpace, you'll be at

my house. I love you so, so much, baby. Forever and always." Richard was coming to live at her house in Farmville

because that was the only way Emma's parents had given her permission for the music festival. It's unclear if Richard

arrived on September 7th or 8th, but it was several days before the concert. The

festival doors were to open at 1 p.m. on September 12th. It was an odd move by

Emma's parents to let a stranger live in their house for days, whose only real connection to their daughter was through

shared interests in a dark subculture. With Melanie arriving at her house on the same dates, the trio was set to go on

a 10-hour long drive to the music festival with Emma's parents. The reality of their first meeting was anything but

what Emma had imagined. As Emma laid eyes on Richard, the image she had built up from his MySpace photos was shattered. In

person, Richard looked much shorter and younger than his age. To Emma, his oversized black hoodie and baggy cargo pants

and greasy red hair across his forehead only added to his unappealing appearance. Her initial charm for Richard had

disappeared, and both girls soon seemed annoyed and disinterested by Richard's presence. Richard, who noticed

Emma's changed behavior, believed that the festival's horror-core vibe would remind Emma of the bond they shared

online. But Richard's hopes soon came crashing down when Emma paid him little to no attention at the festival and was

more interested in enjoying the concert with other people. Richard's frustration and jealousy began to take over as he noticed Emma's flirty

behavior with other guys. The music festival wrapped up at 11:00 p.m. on September 12th, 2009. When driving back

600 miles to Farmville, the passengers of the car had no idea that this trip would set off a series of terrifying events.

Melanie's disappearance after coming back from the concert marked the beginning of this disturbing case. She was last seen online on September 14th
