In other Facebook posts, McRoberts claimed that the government had lied to people and that a family member had abused him as a child.
Previous Facebook posts provide further evidence of just how disturbed McRoberts appeared to be. He wrote in one of his statuses, “WHO WANNA DIE TODAY? Y’all don’t believe? Come show me, I’m not God.”
He followed up with, “I KNOW I KNOW, MY EARS ARE RINGING, IT’S ALMOST TIME, BUT NOT YET.”
Two days before the alleged murders, he wrote, “Hey, I really am God truly, everyone I’m trying to help you all, but I came to terms, y’all got too [sic] comfy in hell…If GOD WAS CALLING YOU WOULD YOU PICK UP? F### NO YOU ALL IGNORE ME AND IM TRYING MY HARDEST TO SHOW YOU ALL PLEASE HELP ME SHOW YOU ALL.”
Manhunt and drone search for St. Louis rapper
A manhunt for McRoberts ensued shortly after the discovery of his grandparents’ bodies. Police deployed drones to search the area. And his photo was released to the public.
Then on March 23, a psychiatric ward contacted the police to say that he had checked himself in.
