Richard McCroskey was a sad and lonely wannabe rapper, who went by “Syko Sam” in the world of horrorcore hip hop, who found love on the internet when he met sixteen-year-old Emma Niederbrock, who went by “Ragdoll,” on Myspace.
But when she broke his heart, he murdered her, her entire family, and her best friend Melanie Wells, in what has become known as the Farmville Murders, earning him the moniker the Myspace Killer.
