Horrorcore rapper faces murder charges.

Perc., if you want to start a thread in a subforum I'll follow you there, I'm interested in this case, but barracuda is the OP so unless some mod says otherwise he's kinda in charge

On edit, see the subforum for further link: http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/viewtopic.php?p=287727#287727

[barracuda]

Look, this is my fucking thread, dammit. See this right here?



That's right - I got a trophy.

So we can talk about art if we need to. The killer here is a musician; the killings are informed by his music and vice-versa.

Also of interest this Razakel, who I am beginning to believe plays the role of high preistess in this cult, just released an album last month called FEMICIDE, and now these 2 girls are murdered?

On what basis are you calling this a cult?

Quadruple-murder suspect's sister has received death threats over Virginia slayings

At first, Sarah McCroskey was in denial. She thought there was no way her brother could be the prime suspect in four Virginia killings.

But it hit when investigators called and she became overwhelmed after seeing the reports all over the Internet and television.

"I just fell to my knees. I couldn't see. I couldn't talk," McCroskey said. "I feel I failed as his big sister."

Her brother, Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III, 20, was arrested Saturday in the slayings of four people in Farmville, a small college town about 50 miles west of Richmond.

He has been charged with killing of Mark Niederbrock, a Presbyterian church pastor. Others killed in the same home were his estranged wife, Longwood University professor Debra Kelley, 53; their daughter Emma Niederbrock, 16; and her friend Melanie Wells, 18, of Inwood, W. Va.

Since the bodies were found last Friday at Kelley's home, Sarah's life has been in a whirlwind.

Death threats have been left on her cell phone voice mail.

Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputies — on behalf of the Farmville Police Department — served a search warrant on her Orange Avenue home, near Grove Way, about 1 a.m. Monday.

"They tore the place up. Everything is on the floor," Sarah said. "They took house phones, computers and anything relevant to the situation. They even took baby books."

Sarah, 21, and her brother — who the family calls Sammy were raised in Hayward before moving to Castro Valley about six years ago.

Her parents split up five months ago.

The household is more like a place filled with roommates instead of family, she said.

"We weren't a 'Leave it to Beaver' type of family," she said. "We each had our own space and did our own thing."

In high school, Sarah and her brother were teased and picked on at school, mainly because of their weight and "ginger" hair.

"It broke our confidence and we grew up with a lot of insecurities," Sarah said. "I always fought back, but Sammy was way too passive. He didn't say anything."

The siblings each dropped out of high school. Sammy dropped out of Tennyson High in Hayward, then went to Hayward High and dropped out again.

"We both fell into the wrong crowd. But high school was just uncomfortable for Sammy," Sarah said. "He was just unhappy. He couldn't do it."

What he could do, however, was make music.

The aspiring rapper would spend endless hours recording in his room.

"It was our way of escaping reality and finding a way to cope and relax," said Sarah, who also is a musician now working for a music production company.

In addition, their father plays guitar in a band.

Sammy found a niche in the underground horrorcore scene — rap's equivalent to film's horror genre — and took on the name Syko Sam.

He rapped about killing, maiming and mutilating people.

"Much of horrorcore rap is taking you through the mind of a killer and their point of view," Sarah said. "Syko Sam was just a stage name. It wasn't his alter ego."

Sarah also denied reports that her brother was obsessed with notorious serial killer Son of Sam, David Richard Berkowitz, who killed six people and injured seven others in New York City during 1976 and 1977.

Since his arrest, Sammy has not been cooperating with police, according to Associated Press reports.

Sarah said her brother has been placed on suicide watch.

Hey - if the RigInt forum is getting too high minded about art and stuff, the Websleuths are all over the case:

[Percival]

Yea good stuff at the WS site.

[nathan28]

Hey, no complaints on my part, it's your thread--I just wanted to keep following the story here, hence the new thread

[barracuda]

It seems counterproductive to me to start a duplicate thread in a subforum, but please feel free to take the whining about this shitty discussion over there.

So far I haven't seen much on websleuths I haven't already seen on MySpace and the Contra Costa Times. Five pages on whether there were poor parenting decisions made wrt taking minors to horrorcore juggalo festivals and then having coed sleepovers. Eyeroll.

This guys says this was all a planned santanic cult killing with the SKR record dude behind it all. Says he was part of the group leading up to this.


Sam McCrosky aka "Syko Sam" aka "Lil Demon"
SAM McCROSKY WAS ONLY FOLLOWING THE DICTATES OF A SATANIC CULT. MY NAME IS PAUL CALCAGNO AND THIS IS WHAT I KNOW:

I doubt this event was a distraction psyop from any particular thing, but the uncanny specificity of all involved claiming to be "LaVeyan Satanists" along with the rest of this makes me think someone did influence this to occur, but why?

It's very RI (or Dave McGowan-ian) to assume a deep politic involved, and of course somewhere along the line of direct personal influence in these satanist circles likely resides a member of the MI complex or other related adept, but on some level I expect these sorts of murders are randomly-premeditated by people with no sense of timing for distraction from events upon the world stage or direction from memetic engineers. They could just be trying to summon a demon with the energy or something.

I have no point, just musing over how true this blogger's testimony rings.

Besides, he implicates the record label founder, who was quoted above by the AP as saying:

"If life imitated art," says Shrim, the owner of Albuquerque, N.M.-based Serial Killin Records, "there would be a lot of dead people in the world."

Apparently the irony of his own statement failed him. Unless the above accusations are true, in which case the irony was not only intentional, but was laid on at least as thick as "Jesus made me do it." (which, admittedly, does make me smirk in a dark place inside.)

[barracuda]

Talk about smirking, listen to the chuckle he gives the reporter after his brief statement.

Here is something interesting from the Richmond Times-Dispatch via Websleuths:

At least two of the bodies were so badly decomposed that they will have to be identified by dental records, said Dennis Sercombe, a Longwood vice president.

The implication being that these two murders were possibly committed earlier than the others, though decomposition can be differing in differing individuals.

Maybe the young lovers killed her parents together and couldn't figure out what to do with them before her friend found out, her friend freaked, he killed the friend, his girl freaked, and he killed her.

Maybe.

I'm disappointed that no one has anything to say about that music video on the blog Perc. linked to. Come on, fake blood and real semen? Did no one catch that? When is it art and when is it a TOPY ritual? Do any of those kids even know who Gen P-Orridge is? I thought this was RI here? See what happens when you start haphazardly throwing out the satan-worshippers, then none of them are around to explain things to you? I'm being a scold, maybe I should head over to websleuths to moralize there... but I think somebody got burnt by something they really, really didn't understand.

And FWIW The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of my favorite movies, too, but then again, Little Miss Sunshine is, too.

Things like this are why it's easy to believe there are Smiley Face Killers out there. Nothing is too crazy to believe anymore. I blame the internet.

[barracuda]

Nathan are you talking about Sicktanik's "Wicked King Wicker" video on Paul Calcagno's blog? 'Cause it appears to me there might be some real cutting going on there at about 4:10. Maybe, maybe not.

Percy, four people killed with blunt force trama to the head... it would surprise me if they weren't all killed within a single spree. I think theorizing with the little information we have is somewhat pointless, but I do wonder if they weren't sleeping when the killer struck.

So what was the ex-wife doing there, then?

We are left to only speculate over the paint chips they leave behind, I suppose.
