PIKE COUNTY, Ohio — No arrests have been made in the shooting investigation of eight execution-style killings of members of the Rhoden family last month in Pike County, Ohio.

Ohio family massacre highlights rural region’s ties to illegal drugs

The gruesome slayings have rattled this southeast corner of Appalachian Ohio, a region that culturally identifies more closely with neighboring Kentucky and West Virginia than the state’s northern cities.

[...]

Adding to the shock was the discovery of hundreds of illegal marijuana plants on Rhoden’s property, highlighting the region’s dependency on the illegal drug trade as jobs in agriculture and timber have dried up.

MOD NOTE: You may discuss the criminal records of the family members who were murdered. In light of the grow operations they may be very relevant. Please refrain from posting criminal histories of other individuals who have not been named persons of interest or suspects by LE or simply because they have the last name of the victims or may be a distant cousin or aunt. Stick with the victims for now. That may change as more develops on this case.

Minors: You may discuss what is covered in the main stream media regarding the custody of minor children. If posting snips from articles regarding the children please redact their names. These babes are innocents. One day they will google their names or those of their parents. And plenty will come up. Let's be respectful of them and the catastrophic loss they have suffered at such tender ages. Thanks.

DO NOT SLEUTH STILL LIVING FAMILY MEMBERS' FACEBOOK PAGES AND POST ABOUT IT HERE. Just don't mention it. Period.

Leave the politics, both national and local, at the door. There is no room for them here.

Try to keep your speculation broad as LE have given no statements indicating they have POIs or suspects in mind.

Ch 9 article also mentions a sign at the search site "Unlimited Motors".


Officials are searching two locations -- a farm and a business -- according to Dan Carroll in Chopper 9. A sign at one of the locations was marked "Unlimited Motors."


Unlimited Motors is at a different location

ADMIN NOTE: In light of this search which appears to have been confirmed as related to the Rhoden family murders, you may begin sleuthing the property. Mind where the line is tho. Right now discuss what is public record about the property. DO NOT sleuth the owners or their friends and family. That must wait until we have a named suspect or some indication from LE that someone specific is up for sleuthing.

Thank you

(and may I say WOO HOO - a break?!?!)

Let's hope this is the turning oint in the case.

Thanks, tlcya! Appreciate the help. Hopefully we'll see some results soon.

The owner of the property at 28171 State Hwy 41 - Unlimited Motors - is Brian Brown.

News media pointed to the other property at 160 Peterson Rd. Is there a link between Brown and the people residing a 160 Peterson?

Here's a home listing for 160 Peterson Road: https://www.trulia.com/homes/Ohio/Peebles/sold/1001254335-160-Peterson-Rd-Peebles-OH-45660

Updated link for Ch 45, with reporter Deborah Dixon talking about the story

http://local12.com/news/local/investigators-search-adams-co-farm-for-pike-co-massacre-evidence

She's definitely referring to the property with the red house. Her sources have told her it's related to the Rhoden case.

She doesn't mention anything about Unlimited Motors.

ETA: Added correct link.

FWIW since it is a common name, it looks like this property is owned or used by a BKB. See public record of corporate filing for business here: http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/reports/rwservlet?imgc12g&Din=201107401464

Any chance they are just looking for a vehicle?

Hard to say. It's difficult to tell from the few photos we have which location is pictured. The business name has been mentioned in a few articles and someone mentioned seeing a sign for Unlimited Motors in one of the news videos. Not sure why, but on the ground reporters are all staying around the 260 Peterson Rd location.

As info, the property was recently sold, in March of this year

https://www.redfin.com/OH/Peebles/260-Peterson-Rd-45660/home/78937969

Property owner is Edward Wagner

http://www.adamscountyauditor.org/Data.aspx?ParcelID=066-00-00-063.000

It's alleged this is the father of Jake Wagner, who is the father of Hanna Rhoden's older daughter. Wagner was given custody of their daughter. Seems an unusual thing for the courts to do after the murders, considering they're keeping the other surviving children in foster care.

It's not 160. It's 260. The home sold in March. The previous owner had a bunch of stuff for sale on FB. I hope and pray that LE finds whatever they are searching for and that they are not too late.

I believe Edward Wagner is Edward Jacob "Jake" Wagner.

I'm thinking he automatically got custody since he already had joint custody and he was a living parent.

So the young man who is the alleged father of Hanna's older child is the owner of the property? If so, where was he living at the time of the murders?
