Anyone else having trouble finding news articles about the recent SM rumor mill about arrests in the Rhoden case?
Here's a link to a search for Rhoden at WCPO web site that pulls up three articles about the story, but when you click on the link, there's no article
Search
Here's some video on You Tube
In the video, the reporter says Franklin County Sheriff's Office said they assisted PCSO on Thursday, but wouldn't say where or what. PCSO denies it. The same thing happened last year when they raided the W farms and Franklin Co assisted.
Here's a different link to the WCPO article that's working. Good reporting, Hillary Lake.
BCI: Posts about arrests in Pike County massacre are just 'bad Facebook rumors'
Found some other articles
Social media explodes, but no information in Rhoden murder case - Portsmouth Daily Times
Pike County murders: No arrests today despite ‘very active’ investigation
If these were PCSO/BCI searches, it sounds like no feds were involved. They didn't involve feds in the May 2017 raids, either.
Per my earlier comment, if PCSO/BCI wanted to arrest the W family, they could do so easily, even in Alaska. Waiting until they come back to Ohio to arrest them, if that were to happen, would be kind of unusual unless they did something here in Ohio to necessitate an arrest.
Reading the case summary in the Dayton Daily News article linked above, LE has handled this case very oddly in the last two years.
Law enforcement, most markedly the Alaska state troopers are a highly trained group. If they are tasked with arresting anyone, they will be prepared and take every precaution to minimize risk of harm to innocents. They lear constantly, they train for the worst and usually are extremely successful in the goal at hand.
Yes this case is outside the Norm. But the entire crime, and especially the motive is way off the charts.
It will be resolved. If these searches occurred then they were acting on new information and acted appropriately. Peeps can run but LE is right there with them.
