Episode 12: 5050 Windsor Drive
Farmville, Virginia. A quiet college town steeped in Southern charm — until September 2009, when the unthinkable happened inside a suburban home at the edge of campus.
Four people were murdered over the course of 48 hours, including a beloved pastor, a college professor, and two teenage girls. The killer? A quiet 20-year-old horrorcore rapper named Richard McCroskey, who had traveled cross-country to meet his online girlfriend — and left behind a trail of silence, grief, and confusion.
This episode dives deep into the relationship between Richard and 16-year-old Emma Niederbrock: how they met online, the warning signs that went unheeded, and how their encounter turned fatal. We explore the psychological unraveling of a rejected young man, the false signals of teenage affection, and the ripple effect of violence carried out in a place that once felt safe.
We walk the halls of five zero five zero Windsor Drive — a home that still stands, remodeled and occupied, but never quite free from the echo of what happened inside.
📍 Featured Address: 5050 Windsor Drive, Farmville, VA
⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of violence, psychological trauma, and real-life murders involving teenagers and parents. Listener discretion strongly advised.
