Overview
- Autopsies concluded Emily D. Long fatally shot her husband, Ryan, 48, and children Parker, 8, and Ryan, 6, before killing herself, leaving a toddler unharmed.
- Wing-Itz owner Derek Fisher alleges Long diverted cash deposits and wrote checks to herself beginning in January 2023, and a bank told him statements she provided were manipulated.
- Fisher filed a police complaint on Aug. 11; Hampton police referred the case to investigators but made no arrest prior to the Aug. 18 discovery of the deaths.
- Fisher says he does not plan to seek recovery from Long’s estate and supports directing any remaining assets and community fundraising to the surviving child.
- Officials urge against attributing the killings to a single factor as they review the alleged embezzlement, the husband’s recent glioblastoma diagnosis, and the mother’s posts about depression.
