Deaths of New Hampshire couple and children ruled murder-suicide

Emily Long, 34, killed her terminally ill husband and two children in a murder-suicide, leaving their 3-year-old son alive; motive remains unclear amid ongoing investigation.

  • On August 18, 2025, Emily Long shot and killed her husband Ryan Long and two children, Parker and Ryan, at their home in Madbury, New Hampshire, before killing herself.
  • The murders and suicide followed ongoing household issues, including Ryan Long's glioblastoma treatment, but officials urge avoiding speculation on a single cause.
  • Investigators found a toddler alive and unharmed in the home, who is now in family care, while autopsies confirmed the deaths as homicide for the three victims and suicide for Emily Long.
  • Officials reported that both children sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the head, Ryan Long was killed by multiple gunshot injuries, and Emily Long died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
  • This rare murder-suicide profoundly impacted the local Oyster River School District community, which is mourning the loss of four members and reminded residents that crisis support is available.
