FARMVILLE - A young California man has been indicted on six counts of capital murder for the slayings of four people found dead in a Farmville home.

Richard Samuel Alden McCroskey III of Castro Valley, Calif., also was indicted on a charge of grand larceny that accuses him of stealing a car that belonged to one of the Farmville slaying victims. Indictments in the case were returned Oct. 19 but were not unsealed until today, when they were served on McCroskey.

Found bludgeoned to death inside the home Sept. 18 were Longwood University professor Debra S. Kelley, 53, who lived there; her estranged husband, Mark Niederbrock, 50; their daughter, Emma Niederbrock, 16; and a friend from Inwood, W.Va., Melanie Wells, 18.

McCroskey, 20, met Emma Niederbrock online through their interest in horrorcore rap music and flew to Virginia on Sept. 6 to meet her for the first time.

In Virginia capital murder is not a single crime.
