Where Surviving Toddler Is Staying After N.H. Mom Killed Husband and 2 Kids Before Dying by Suicide By Liam Quinn

The New Hampshire toddler who was left unharmed after his parents and two siblings died in an apparent murder-suicide is in the care of family following the shocking incident.

Emily Long, 34, fatally shot her husband, Ryan Long, 48, her son, Parker, 8, and daughter, Ryan, 6, before dying by suicide in their family’s home in Madbury, N.H., on Aug. 18, the state’s attorney general’s office said.

The Longs’ youngest child, a toddler, was found in the home unharmed. In an interview with WMUR, Assistant Attorney General Ben Agati confirmed that the child’s family was taking care of him.

Prior to his death, the elder Ryan was diagnosed with brain cancer, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported, citing a neighbor.

Emily, on her now-private TikTok page, stated in her bio that she was a “Brain Cancer Wife” and called her account a “personal diary” that was “cheaper than therapy.”

New Hampshire authorities asked the public not to speculate as to what motivated the tragic killings.

“While investigators are becoming aware of various concerns/issues ongoing in the household at the time of the event in question, people should avoid speculating that this event was caused by a single reason or stressor,” the attorney general’s office said.
