Rhoden Family Massacre- Crime Scenes


As I mentioned before this crime has four different locations. That's almost unheard of. Location 1 which I call Christopher Rhoden Sr. & Gary Rhoden's home. At this crime scene there was said to be several vicious dogs. How did the killers get past the dogs? Nobody knows that answer. The door was locked from the inside . Also on this property was video cameras that were said not to be on the property when the bodies were found. Dana Rhoden's sister Bobby Jo Manley was the unfortunate one to find the bodies of Christopher Rhoden Sr, and Gary Rhoden. She claimed she came to feed the pets at the home. Her 911 call came in at 7:51 Am. Before the police arrived Bobby Jo found two more bodies in the second home on the property (Frankie Rhoden's home). Her brother, also Dana Rhoden's brother James Manley went to check on their sister (Dana) and discovered the third crime scene. The police found three victims at that scene (Hanna, Christopher Jr. & Dana). At 1:26 pm a 911 call reported the 8th victim Kenneth Rhoden at a fourth residence. At this fourth residence there was a known dog and also video surveillance which was said to be missing. At Kenneth Rhoden's property and Christopher Rhoden Sr. and Frankie Rhoden's property it's said there was marijuana grow operations and evidence of cockfighting. I have never seen any proof of that as there was never any pictures of either grow op. Attorney General Mike Dewine stated that the killings were planned, premeditated, and a sophisticated operation.

On May 12th Dewine and Charles Reader (Pike Counties Finest) announced the state's intention to relocate the mobile homes where the killings occurred to a secure location. One that is never been heard of and two they proved later on to not really be secure locations.
