New England Mom In Family Murder-Suicide Said She Was Withering Away In Haunting Video

A 34-year-old mother of three and wife shared TikTok videos about her life, family, and her rapidly deteriorating mental health for weeks. She killed almost all of her family members before killing herself, according to authorities earlier this week.

In their Madbury, New Hampshire, home, Emily Long is charged with the murders of her husband, Ryan Long, and their two eldest children, Parker, age eight, and Ryan, age six.

According to the state attorney general’s office, Emily Long, 34, Ryan Long, 48, and their two oldest children, Parker, 8, and Ryan, 6, were discovered shot dead inside their Madbury, New Hampshire, home on Monday, August 18. There was no injury to the couple’s 3-year-old son.

According to investigators, Emily killed them all before shooting herself.

Online investigators have discovered other recordings that Emily Long shared that depicted a woman in distress as investigators try to piece together what caused the horrifying murder. She referred to her TikTok account as her “personal diary,” but it has now been made private.

Ryan Long had been fighting an aggressive kind of brain cancer called terminal glioblastoma. Emily Long talked about how difficult it is for her to imagine living without him in a number of videos.

I’m incredibly lonely. I’m really nervous. According to the New York Post, she stated in one video, “I know that I need to see a therapist, I know that I need to ask for help, but I’m not ready to acknowledge that, I think.”

Emily reported feeling as though she was “withering away” and that things would only get worse.

She said that her “devil’s advocate” Ryan, a school therapist, could help her control her more impetuous impulses. In a seven-minute video, she extolled his virtues, saying that Ryan was a good husband and father because he lived by a code of ethics.

According to police investigations, Emily shot her husband several times before shooting herself.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office advised the public not to jump to conclusions, even though several websites have utilized the recordings as proof to explain her motivations.

“People should avoid speculating that this event was caused by a single reason or stressor,” a spokeswoman said, adding that investigators are learning about a number of worries and issues that were present in the family at the time of the incident.
