Rhoden Family Massacre- Christopher Don Rhoden Sr.


Christopher Don Rhoden Sr, was born to Clarence and Geneva Rhoden. He worked at Big Bear Lake Campground in Lucasville, Ohio. He was married to Dana Rhoden but at the time of their murders they were divorced (although reconciling). All three of their children were also killed that night. Frankie, Hanna, and Christopher Rhoden Jr, Christopher's brother Kenneth and cousin Gary were also murdered that night. He was shot nine times during the attack. It's been said he had wood splinters in his face as if he was shot through a wall or a door. That is not verified as true but many have said that. He was also severely beat. I believe he put up the biggest fight. Many also believe Christopher Rhoden Sr. was the main target because of the amount of times he was shot. I do not believe that, I think he was shot that many times because he fought like hell. Christopher lost his entire family that night. I pray he did not know that, I pray none of them knew that. Bobby Jo Manly..(Dana's sister) is the one who found Senior and Gary. She said it looked like someone beat the hell out of him. I also believe he was dragged through the trailer to a bedroom and was draped over his cousins legs. A marijuana grow operation and cock fighting evidence was found at this scene. I still don't believe these murders happened over pot plants....Not buying it. Rest in peace Christopher Rhoden Sr. September 17th, 1975- April 22nd, 2016
