California man indicted in 4 Virginia deaths

Farmville (WBQB/WFVA/AP)  --  An aspiring California rapper has been indicted on capital murder charges in the deaths of four people found bludgeoned to death at a central Virginia home in September.   The Prince Edward County Circuit Court indictments were returned for 20-year-old Richard ``Sam'' McCroskey of Castro Valley, Calif.   McCroskey is charged in the Sept. 18 deaths of his girlfriend, 16-year-old Emma Niederbrock; her parents, 50-year-old Presbyterian minister Mark Niederbrock and 53-year-old Longwood University professor Debra Kelley; and Emma's friend, 18-year-old Melanie Wells of Inwood, W.Va. Their bodies were found in a home in Farmville.   McCroskey met Emma Niederbrock online through their interest in so-called ``horrorcore'' music and flew to Virginia on Sept. 6 to meet her.
