Richard McCroskey was looking for people who accept him on the internet. He had been bullied in school over his red hair and weight. But online he became a different person, a much more confident person. And Richard thought he had found a girlfriend in 16-year-old Emma Niederbrock, four years his junior.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Richard McCroskey and the Farmville murders. After chatting online for about a year, Richard and Emma decided to meet in person.

However, the trip did not go as Richard planned, and in the end, it turned deadly.
