Juggalos, Wiccans, Satanists and vampires are all subcultures of the occult that are on the periphery of the mainstream. But the recent quadruple homicide in Farmville at the home of a Longwood University professor has thrust these lifestyles into the headlines.

A young California man was indicted today on six counts of capital murder for the slayings of four people found dead in a Farmville home.

The quadruple murder allegedly committed by a horrorcore music fanatic is just the kind of scenario so-called “death rappers” write songs about. But the woman whose music brought Richard “Sam” McCroskey and his victims together says no one in her circle will be rapping about this case.

A Charlottesville cab driver today recalled driving the suspect in the Farmville killings from there to Richmond International Airport last Friday morning, hours before police found four bodies.

A horrorcore rap artist provided Farmville police with the name of the suspect in four slayings soon after officers found the bodies in the home of a Longwood University professor, authorities confirmed today.

More than 150 people attended a graveside memorial service today for Pastor Mark Niederbrock, one of four people slain in Farmville.

On horrorcore music message boards, fans identify themselves with handles such as “psycosick” and “freshdeath.“ They discuss new artists such as Randum Shotz and stalwarts of the genre, Kid Crusher, Twiztid and the most mainstream of the lot, Insane Clown Posse and Slipknot. They are passionate about this fusion of hip-hop and rock with lyrics that focus on death and murder.

Emma Niederbrock, 16, was like many teenagers, longtime family friend James F. Hodgson said.

Farmville police now say they were inside a Longwood University professor’s house with a California man less than 24 hours before officers would find four bodies in the home and pinpoint him as a suspect.
