The Farmville murders occurred in Farmville, Virginia, in September 2009 - the quadruple bludgeoning homicide of Mark Niederbrock, Debra S. Kelley, their daughter Emma Niederbrock and friend Melanie Wells.
Emma Niederbrock shared an online friendship with Richard Samuel McCroskey, a troubled aspiring rapper. Together, Emma Niederbrock, McCroskey, her mother, and father, along with friend Wells, attended a horrorcore concert the week before. When Wells' mother could not locate her daughter, she alerted police, who discovered the murders.
McCroskey, 20 years old, was subsequently arrested, convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison. As of 2020, he is serving his sentence at Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap, Virginia.
The murders took place at Dr. Debra Kelley's home, where Kelley lived with her daughter Emma Niederbrock. The bodies were found just after 3:00 p.m. on September 17, 2009, the victims having been bludgeoned to death with a hammer and maul. Three bodies were found in a downstairs bedroom and one in a room upstairs.
Days before the killings Emma Niederbrock and Melanie Wells joined McCroskey in Michigan for a horrorcore concert, the Strictly for the Wicked Festival. According to police, Emma's parents, Debra Kelley and Mark Niederbrock had taken Emma Niederbrock, Melanie Wells and McCroskey to the concert.
Prince Edward County Commonwealth's Attorney James Ennis said McCroskey's anger over his failing relationship with Emma Niederbrock led to the killings. Ennis says McCroskey was angered by some text messages Emma sent while they were in Michigan. They returned to Virginia, and McCroskey became increasingly distraught about the relationship, Ennis said. He had an expectation that he and Emma were seeing each other exclusively and was unhappy with how things were going.
Late in the evening of Sept. 14, 2009, or early the next morning, McCroskey attacked the three female victims in the house as they were sleeping, Ennis said. He killed each within a short period of time around 3 a.m. on Sept. 15.
Ennis said that McCroskey first killed Wells, who was on a sofa in a first-floor den, then Kelley in an upstairs room, and finally Emma in her downstairs bedroom. He struck each victim multiple times with the maul. "No one awoke," Ennis said, adding that the victims had no defensive wounds.
Mark Niederbrock arrived at the home three days later, Sept. 17 about 5 p.m., and McCroskey attacked him with the maul in a living room, Ennis said. McCroskey later moved Mark Niederbrock's and Wells’ bodies into Emma's room, and he attempted to clean up the bloody den, Ennis said.
At some point, McCroskey used a digital camera to record a video of himself, according to Ennis. In the video, he indicated that he knew he had to pay for what he had done and contemplated suicide, Ennis said.
A press release was issued to the public at the time of the murders. An e-mail was sent to Longwood University students. The following Monday, the Attorney General and the Town of Farmville Police Department held a press conference where the bodies were identified.
McCroskey was apprehended at Richmond International Airport on September 18, where police found him sleeping in the baggage claim area, about to fly back to California. McCroskey, who had no prior criminal record, was first charged with first degree murder, robbery and grand larceny (stealing the car), but later was charged with six counts of capital murder. McCroskey was subsequently held in Piedmont Regional jail, on suicide watch.
Police concluded the victims died from blunt force trauma to the head. Police occult expert Don Rimer, brought in because of symbols found in the music the teens listened to, described the murder scene as a slaughter house.
McCroskey did not initially cooperate with police after his arrest.
The police took McCroskey's computer, house phones and more than a dozen paper bags full of evidence from his home. McCroskey was charged with six counts of capital murder per Virginia criminal law.
On September 20, 2010, McCroskey pleaded guilty to the four murders. Although facing the death penalty, he was sentenced to life in prison. Commonwealth's Attorney James Ennis says that the victims' families supported his decision to reach a plea agreement instead of going to trial and seeking the death penalty. - บันเทิง
Hey Scott this is SickTanicK, I just wanted to say firstly (and most importantly) thank you for doing right by the girls, being respectful and for not glorifying that coward. Secondly, thank you for showing me some love, and for not buying into any of the negative rumors and press, I really appreciate it. Genuinely, thank you! -Sick
I saw the documentary on Discovery and I thought it was very nice of you to empathize with Emma and Melanie's family congratulations and every success to you and the band !
The band sucks and the lyrics are evil which really are gross
Yo sick its twiggy the guy who bought sam the tickets and introduced him to ragdoll i regret it to this day
Watching you fix the flowers brought tears to my eyes. You have a big heart. We need more of that in our world today. God bless.
Thank you Marcia
I thought the same thing....
yeah being a basic human being is so amazing, seriously?
Scott is so caring for sure . i found him because i am a fan of Corey haim he is so good at what he does and is very respectful I am beinge watching all his videos so big thank you Scott your fan from Dublin Ireland 😂 💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚

I have never heard of this story before. It's so sad and horrible. Thanks Scott for doing this video. R.I. p to the victims 🙏🏾
It’s unbelievable this guy had TWO encounters with the police after the murders and he walked away both times. Imagine if he *had* gotten on the plane and he had to sit next to someone with that awful smell of death.
I actually watched this the other day when Lamont at large covered it, crazy as hell! Good video Scott 🤘🏼
I don’t know how those parents allowed a man who was a complete stranger to stay in their home. They should have just dropped him off at the airport and left him there to find his own way home after the concert. Instead, Emma had to be forced to drive home with him and then face the fact that she’d have to spend an entire week with him. My parents upon finding out I was uncomfortable with him, would have figured out some sort of lie or family emergency to send him back home.
Better yet... why is this child allowed to partake in this wicked music obsession?? What types of weak parents are these??? Parents wanting to be their child's "friend" :(:(:(
Also he was in his twenties while she was fifteen
@@fridayk4838 16* but Emma and Sam started talking when sam was a minor as well and also morally a 4 year age gap isn’t that big of a deal
Exactly. Wonder why she didn’t mention any of that to her parents. This could have ended up differently than it did. So tragic
@arlelenaxpozmortim5771that’s crazy. Ugh so sad
I didn't know about this story, what a terrible tragedy, heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this Scott. ❤
RIP to the victims such a horrific story
I'm from Tazewell, Virginia. It's about 4 hours west of Farmville. I've been quite obsessed with this case since it happened. I was told that a couple moved into that house about 5 or 6 years ago, and they moved out within a couple months. Bad vibes in that place, man.
WHY are you not mainstream yet? Your style of making videos is untouchable . ID CHANNEL MAKE SCOTT NUMBER 1
Such a tragedy, my heart goes out to the victims. ❤️ Thank you for making this video, I wasn’t aware of their story.
Scott thank you for doing this video with out being disrespectful to the horror core community. My husband is a Juggalo as are most of his friends. They are some of the most giving and compassionate people I have ever met. Most of them were bullied and had rough childhoods. They all try to help the younger ones who are going trough the same thing. The entire community should not be judged by one horrible persons actions.
I have to agree with you here. I was a juggalo for many years and have been to 8-9 gatherings. Most of them are amazing people and tend to connect to the people because they are all outcasts of some sort. Their music talks about after lifes, killing of murders, child rapists, women beaters and more. I don't see them as normal horror core people but I guess it can for sure draw in some truly twisted people as well. (no that wasn't a pun even though it could be.)
I remember hearing about this case when it happened. So heartbreaking :( Glad he's in prison where he belongs. Rest in peace to all the victims. Thank you for making this video Scott,Blessed Be.
He's in prison about an hour away from my house. Trust me, he's no longer smirking where he's at. LOL.
Another awesome job Scott. Never heard of this story but wow sad story. Rest In Peace to those victims
Been here my whole life...so sad and horrible that this happened. Farmville has a lot of history and other murders has happen here that are just as horrible...thankfully it does not happen often...farmville is still very safe place to live
As a parent there is no way I would let a complete stranger come stay with my daughter! Or at my house period. I tell my daughters all the time never meet anyone online anywhere and this is why WOW 😳
Fantastic video all the way around man. Incredibly tragic case but you delivered it well. Glad he wasn't smart and was caught
Thanks Harmin! After all the true crime you and I cover doesn’t it seem like most of the criminals are not that smart. This guy takes the cake tho. See you in the new year I hope
Hello from Philadelphia, I have to give it to you I know it take so much energy to do those videos so sad and with so much pain.

Thank you Scott for this video, I had never heard about these murders until now. I love all your true crime videos.
I have lived in Virginia my whole life and never heard of this crime. Wow! How horrible! Thank you for the research and the video.
Hi Scott. Thanks so much for covering this sad, disturbing story. I'm surprised that I didn't hear about this. Your videos are awesome. Keep up the great work.
This is so heartbreaking. Like you said he deserves to be in solitary for the rest of his life with his cell shrinking a little bit everyday. May the victims rest in heavenly peace, they deserved so much better than this....😔
Tracey you are so fine
@@kmatt420 thank you ☺️
Scott I absolutely love true crime and I want to thank you for doing this video. This story is mind blowing!!! I feel so sad for the four victims. 😞 Keep these great videos coming. RIP to the victims 🙏
This is the first time I'm hearing about these murders. I can't believe Richard gets to live a somewhat regular life in jail with TV, Movies etc. That's ridiculous. So sad for all the victims, May they all rest in peace. 🙏🕊️
Oh man. Ive done some videos there and had no idea she was there. Thank you for continuing to give us stories that have gone silent. It means alot
Thanks for the vlog. It's all an education for us in England. ❤️✌️🏴
I imagine making videos of this nature must wear on you, Scott. Thank you for honoring these people. May they rest in peace. Safe travels.-Joe from Joplin MO
Indeed sometimes they do Joe. Thank you for watching my man
I don’t know how but I completely forgot about this! Once it dawned on me what you were talking about my blood ran cold. Thanks for doing this as always.
I remember reading about this, or watching something about it.
Thanks for the continuous content Scott. It's all great.
✌
I lived just outside Farmville in 98-02. Actually I was sitting in the parking lot of Prince Edward high school when they announced the first plane hitting the towers on 9/11.
I haven't heard of this story but it's truly sad. Thanks for sharing their story.

Sad stuff Scott...Thanks for sharing!!!!
Rest in peace to the victims 🙏
I love your videos!! They are so amazing. Be safe out there everyone 🍒💖🙏🏾
Great vlog Scott your the berries! Thank you for sharing 💓
I read about this. Seriously who could live in that house knowing what happened 😳? Great video Scott. You're beyond respectful Scott.
I used to feel that way but then when I thought about it, though tragic and sad when something like this happens in a home, I think the best thing to do is to bring life back into the home. If you believe in the paranormal, you could be the help they need to cross over or if u do not believe in the paranormal, making the house a home again is a positive thing.
hey scott thank you! for bringing this segment to us not familiar with this one. interesting tragic and sad, you always remember the victims!! rip!! so they will not be forgotten!! we love you!!❤❤ hugs and kisses ✌out!!!
Never heard of this story before, but it’s absolutely horrific. Thank you Scott, love your heart and compassion. I don’t understand how someone could live in that house. Gracious
Scott I gotta say you are very strong to do videos like this especially ones that involved innocent people and children being murdered I know it’s difficult for you to do these videos I salute you brother keep up the good work

I remember when this happened. I attended Longwood University around that time. The mother had been a professor there. I used to drive past the house whenever I would go to Farmville.
Oh my gosh Scott! Welcome to my home state Virginia!! Awesome video handled very well as usual but I hope you saw some of the nicer locations in my state too ❤️ VA is cool because we have mountains and the beach. Richmond is awesome and the rural areas are great
Another great video Scott. Such a tragedy RiP to all the victims.
Hi, I've never heard of this story before either. So horrible. After watching it made me wonder what you do if you ever feel down after visiting true crime places like this one? Wishing you a happy and safe new year.
Hello Scott 🙋🏽. I'M watching a bit later, but I just couldn't miss this ALL together. Have a awesome day ‼️❤️whoa ‼️ this was really sad. This is why I don't have any over night guests in My home. And I never invite someone in that I'M not that familiar with. Really Really SAD. Thank again Scott for sharing this with US ‼️🙂.
May the victims in this case rest in peace. Its an absolutely terrible and tragic thing to have happened.
Such a sad, gruesome mess. Prayers for the victims.

RIP to the victims, such a horrific story. I don’t know how anybody could live in that house knowing what happened. ☹️
Your videos are awesome bro 😎 👍
Thank you Don !
Omg! You did it
Yup I made it Billy Boy. It was a hard place to get to
@@SCOTTONTAPE i appreciate all you do
Bro got a new sub. Glad you payed respects. Something special here.
I remember this well. I’m in RVA and it was all over the local news. My daughter was 9 at the time and this story would be part of the reason I closely monitored her screen time when she aged up to that privilege. I don’t mean to speak ill of the parents, but no way in hell I’d let some random kid come stay at my home. No way. I feel like they tried to placate her too much to keep her “happy”. Of course they are not to blame for the murders, but they could have been avoided. I guess I’m a hard ass mom, who didn’t put up with shenanigans. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes Scott. Virginia is beautiful. I’ve got the ocean 2 hours east and the mountains two hours west.
Yes, thank you. I don’t care how much I wanted to please my daughter out of guilt due to a divorce, I wouldn’t allow her to bring a complete stranger into my home. I just don’t understand their thinking.
@@a.walters123 Teens can be dicks and of course we want them to be happy, but sometimes that does not include placating them. I was a horrible teen and I had a teen. Perfect parent? Never, but it’s my job until I get dead to be a parent. I’ve definitely pumped the breaks a bit since she’s a senior at University now, but will always be my baby girl.
I loved the way you told the story man. Being from there and knowing my brothers were actually friends with the teen girl and they went to the funeral! 5* very quiet town. I love my LA now .
Thanks man! I’m here in LA right now
Such a terrible crime. Always keeping us excited Scott
You're so kind. I knew you would pick up the flowers.
OMG! Never heard of him or the murders.
Well done for getting through that story. I can imagine the horror of the scene for the responders. Rip to the victims 😔
That whole area with it’s dead silence was really creepy.
AWESOME!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Good job Scott, such a horrible story . 😢 RIP
Thanx Scott rest in peace
Omg!!! You were right by me! I'm in the next town over! Welcome to Virginia
Thank you! Back in Toronto now but I really love Virginia!
excellent video
Happy New Year 🎉🍾🥂🎊
Hey Scott seeing you were in Virginia made me think about the briley Brothers serial murders very crazy story they from Richmond va
To all the lives list, continue to RIP.
I’m from Lynchburg which isn’t too far from there. I’m so surprised they haven’t burned the house down 😢
