Emily Long: Mother Kills Family, Child Survives

On August 18, 2025, a household in Madbury, New Hampshire, was destroyed when Emily Long (34) shot and killed her husband, Ryan Long (48), and their two children, Parker (8) and Riley (6), before taking her own life—leaving her three-year-old youngest child as the sole survivor. This tragedy was not just about domestic violence, but a deadly convergence of terminal illness, financial fraud, and mental exhaustion. Just 48 hours before the massacre, Emily was still posting content on TikTok about her struggle with depression and her determination to be a better mother. However, behind that facade, she was grappling with her husband's glioblastoma brain cancer and the pressure to hide the embezzlement of $660,000 from her company.
