Sheriff: sending thoughts and prayers to Rhoden family and the community

We are working around the clock. every lead, all the tips conducting interviews. we will provide info as we can. this will be lengthy process. STAR team going to the scenes and will go through the wooded areas of every scene to make sure nothing of evidentiary value was missed. If locate anything will secure and contact agents for collection.
Thanking all the agencies who have come together to help. 100s of people have come here to assist in this very lengthy and horrible investigation
AG: received over 100 tips, conducted 50to 60 interviews. 100s of personnel involved.
Crime scenes were done being worked early yesterday, but are still secured and maintained by Sheriff Dept. They are preserve in case we need to go take a second look or want to locate specific information.
Evidence collected is all at the crime lab and being analyzed.
This was a pre-planned execution of 8 individuals. Sophisticated operation. Those responsible did everything they could to hinder investigation and prosecution. We would anticipate this will be a lengthy investigation. This is not a case where someone got mad at someone else and shot them and there are one or two witnesses. THIS is a very complex case.
We will not be able to provide you with immediate results. That may frustrate you. We will not be telegraphing or telling the bad guys everything we know.
Old fashioned police work will be needed. Takes time. Asking for anyone with information about this to contact us.
