OH - Pike Co - 8 in Rhoden Family Murdered Over Custody Issue - 4 Members Wagner Family Arrested #72

[Caylee Advocate]

Double Creep! I can't believe you found a funeral photo actually labeled with their names!

I was given it a long time ago along with some memorial cards from the funeral homes, just heartbreaking to look at and recall things after all these years.

No reason except jealously and evil BS. G'nite CC and anyone still on here.

Is there a reason why the three trajectory lines are different colors? They're also from three different spots, not all shot from the same spot. One person shooting from three positions?

You were talking about if Chris had an air conditioner and maybe had it on but it was April and late at night so even if he had an air conditioner I bet it was off.

From above linked article:

Chris Sr. was in a state of decomposition and rigor mortis had already disappeared, she said, which indicated he'd been dead for more than 24 hours at the time he was brought to the coroner. The bodies arrived around 5:50 a.m. on April 23, 2016. They'd been discovered the morning and afternoon of April 22, 2016.

I’m sorry I guess I missworded my post. I was actually trying to find out whether or not he had AC or not. If he didn’t have AC the trailer could have been warm throughout the not cool.

Not sure. I don’t think he fully addressed that yet. Perhaps different estimates?

Interesting. Thank you.

 

[Betty P]

Interesting. Thank you.

There are still unanswered questions about the murders of Chris and Gary for now. I suppose it will be the same for Frankie and Hannah. State will supply answers eventually, I hope.

If previously discussed, my apologies. Estimated time of death for GR and CRs was around 2300.

Fortner said that by inserting the trajectory rods into a single hole, it was difficult to be 100% precise.

My take: If you had two or more holes made by one bullet but some distance apart, those holes together would provide a more precise alignment of the trajectory rod, versus using a single hole. If you could draw a 3 ft circle in midair and several trajectories land in that circle, you could expect the trajectories came from a single point.

Curious about how much the state has spent for defending 4. Breakdown of attorney fees, testing, testimony, etc...

 

[ColMustard]

Two u-turns in the drag marks from the chair. Like there was indecision about where to go. Or they dragged CR around and past GR?

If the trajectories are off by half a degree, there would be a big difference at that distance. The rods they use to determine a trajectory, may be loose in the bullet holes which would make a difference on an angle at a distance. It doesn’t mean the bullets were fired from different locations like it appears in the pictures showing trajectories…

 

[ohioexpat63]

I was kinda surprisd they didnt place them in the other bedrooms that were closer, unless no room

 

[ohioexpat63]

I watched the coroners testimony. I found her easy to follow without overusage of medical terms. We will se a lot of her. Thats a positive to me

I bet in the fog of war, adrenalin going off the charts, testosterone in the stratosphere causing clouding vision. I bet there were some random.off the chart shots. I doubt these clowns had situational awareness knowing who was doing what at any moment. Gw4 was there and he most like pulled a rigger. He couldn't allow JW get all the credit. Imo 4 just looks his father's part. Jay looks mama's part. More tech savvy...stereotyping a bit...jmo

It's a wonder that at least one of them wasn't shot accidentally by another in their own party.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

Per coroner, Gary was shot in the back of the head, along his left side jaw and in his left temple. The Temple was a contact wound.

Their coward goes clean to the core! They couldn't even look the man in the face. It's 3 against 1, at that point, and they can't even look him in the face.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

An AR with the right ammunition could do that; recall at the Uvalde school shooting they needed DNA to identify bodies. AR does a lot of damage because of their velocity, possible fragmentation and "cavitation," the track along the path of the bullet. What an AR-15 Can Do to the Human Body

I'm familiar with an AR. When I made that post, I misunderstood and thought that all of the shots were fired from outside to inside the trailer. I was very mistaken.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

One thing that was mentioned right when I got booted off WCPO, either CRSR or GR had substantial blood in their chest cavity. I'm thinking it had to be CRSR as one of his wounds went through the heart area? Can someone confirm that for me, TIA.

Think I saw a few posts up that GR was shot twice in the head. CRSr suffered shots and fragments practically all up and down his body.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

I seen it on the picture of him, Jake and George standing outside the funeral home talking to a guy the day .

Was that from the fight the week or so before, or did it look fresh?

I believe everyone had shots in the face or temple. That means the shooter was looking the victim straight in the face while shooting them. To me, that is even more demented than shooting them asleep. We now know most were not asleep when shot.
