FARMVILLE, Va. (AP) — A California man who rapped about murder in songs posted on his MySpace page was arrested Saturday by investigators who suspect him of killing four people in a central Virginia college town.

Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III, 20, of Castro Valley, Calif., was taken into custody at Richmond International Airport, where authorities believe he tried to catch a flight back to California. Officers found McCroskey asleep in the baggage claim area, Farmville police Capt. Wade Stimpson said.

McCroskey is being held in Farmville, where he faces charges of first-degree murder, grand larceny of an automobile and robbery, Stimpson said. McCroskey is scheduled to appear Monday in court, when he can either hire an attorney or have one appointed.

Officers found the bodies Friday afternoon in the home of Debra S. Kelley, an associate professor of sociology and criminal justice studies at Longwood University, school spokeswoman Gina Caldwell said Saturday.

Also, there’s nowhere to sit in the RIC baggage claim area... so he was sticking out like a sore thumb. What a weirdo.

Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III

Related to Marshall Bruce Mathers III (Eminem), no doubt.

“On his personal Web page, McCroskey posted videos and pictures of a grave where a cross and miniature American flags had been turned upside down.

“We defiled the grave, and then lightning struck seconds ago. I think we were being warned,” he says in the video, laughing. In the photos, the gravestone identifies the person buried there as a Marine.”

Fry him.

His name is way too long, no wonder he cracked up. Might be grounds for a nutso defense.

Same time—but remember, you have to hook them up in parallel so they both get the full juice.

Wonder if the tomahawk in the upper left corner of the photo was used?

It would be nice to know how a CA kid manages to fly to Richmond and then kills four people in a small town.

What’s the connection?

He sounds criminally insane, if he’s the guy. Fry him anyway. Don’t put him in an institution and send him off to the State Fair with money in his pocket. That’s a bad model for public safety policy.

I agree. Poorly written article skimmed over the actual murder.

“...When questioned about the murders, McCroskey said, “Jesus told me to do it.”...Investigators have not positively identified the victims yet, because the bodies are badly decomposed...Farmville Police Chief, Wade Stimpson says the bodies appear to have been in the home for days and they hope to have the victims identified by Monday...medical examiner is trying to identify the bodies through dental records...
