10 Terrifying Social Media Murders

1. Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III

Richard McCroskey was an aspiring 'horrorcore' rapper, sharing much of his violence-themed music on MySpace. McCroskey released his 'music' under the alias of Syko Sam, and you can listen to one of his wonderful releases below. Oddly enough for someone featured in a list about social media murders, the incident took place in a town called Farmville. Yes, like the Facebook game. On September 17, 2009, the bodies of Mark Neiderbrock, Dr. Debra Kelley, Emma Neiderbrock and Melanie Wells were discovered in a family home. Each victim had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer and maul. McCroskey and Emma Neiderbrock had been in a relationship online, and McCroskey had flown up to Farmville, Virginia, to visit her. After the murders, he fled in Mark Neiderbrock's vehicle, and was apprehended at Richmond International Airport. McCroskey was charged with first degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obOxgBQo798 Have you heard of any crazy social media incidents?
