Ohio AG DeWine and Pike Sheriff seek video relevant to murder investigation, erect tip hotline billboards in Waverly

Ohio Attorney General (AG) Mike DeWine and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader announced on Tuesday, May 10, that they are "seeking any video from nearby residences or businesses in the Pike County and Adams County region" that "may be relevant to the ongoing investigation into the mass murders that occurred last month." In addition, the Ohio Attorney General's Office and Pike County Sheriff's Office partnered together to erect two tip hotline billboards which were placed at the north and south ends of Waverly on Saturday, May 7.

According to the release from the Ohio Attorney General's Office on Tuesday, those with relevant video recorded either on April 21 or April 22 are asked to call the BCI tip line at (855) BCI-OHIO (224-6446) or the Pike County Sheriff's Office at (740) 947-2111.

"Attorney General DeWine and Sheriff Reader also reemphasized their request that informational tips from the public continue to be called in to the tip lines," the release stated. "Space on two billboards has been donated to publicize the numbers. The billboards are both located on U.S. 23 as you enter and exit Waverly."

"The signs went up near Dakota's and Vallery's Collision Center. If all goes well, pictures of the Rhoden family will be placed above the sign in the near future," said Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader. "We partnered with BCI to put up the billboards so that people will see the numbers and feel free to call to give info anonymously."
 
Pike County: The other investigation(s)

It started when Tricia Griffith’s rock ‘n roll radio station went country. She – a DJ – lost her job. And for the first time in a long time, she had time.

Griffith hopped online and read an article about JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old beauty queen found dead in her family’s basement in Colorado.

She found Internet forums of people trying to solve the crime, and she dove in.

[...]

Three weeks ago, eight people were murdered in their homes near the Pike/Adams County line in southern Ohio. Attorney General Mike DeWine has released few details about the investigation but vowed to keep pushing for an arrest and a conviction.

On Websleuths, the site Griffith owns, there are a dozen threads on Pike County, each with about 1,000 comments.

The sleuths track down public records to build maps and timelines. They piece together who knew whom, was related to whom, lived with whom, etc.

Kenton Co, KY Commonwealth Attorney feels there are similarities between the Rhoden Family Massacre and a double murder of a couple in KY in April. A couple was killed in their home, the male had a history of drug and MJ trafficking. Children there were also left alive.

Tony Rhoden (brother of Chris Sr. and Kenneth) talks about trailers being moved away from property:

It was difficult for Tony Rhoden to watch, but he understood.
“You want to say, 'No. You can’t do that.' You want to say ‘That belongs to Chris’ and ‘That belongs to Dana.’ There are things in there that are important to our family,” he said. “But after listening to the attorney general talk about protecting the evidence, I think they’re making the right decision.
“If taking those homes helps this case and helps catch the people who killed my family, then that’s what we all want.”
 
Properties released back to Rhoden/Manley families. Apparently probate will have to determine who splits the properties. Family members are tending to the animals on site with this release. Authorities are reported to have been tending chickens and a pig in the past week for the family.

Authorities have told the families that the trailers will be moved back to the properties after the case is concluded at no cost to the families.
Manley said he can't quite imagine that.
"I wouldn't want to live in them. Who would want to live in a trailer where three people got murdered?" he said. "In my book, they could have burned them all to the ground."
