OH - Pike Co - 8 in Rhoden Family Murdered Over Custody Issue - 4 Members Wagner Family Arrested #74

[Ann99]

Is he on the witness list!?

I think so.

 

[pittsburghgirl]

BW isn't, you can hear he has dry mouth at times, he swallows hard at times, any mention of the murders and he goes off on another let me tell you something ramble about drug dealers who lived on this road but I know nothing, CRsr never spoke more than 3 words a day, but those 3 words seemed to reveal everything about the local dealers, BW was so nervous he was hysterical at times,

and he just could not stop talking because if he did the agents would mention the murders and off he went again, I doubt I have heard anybody as nervous talking to LE in all my years trial watching

I didn't hear it (I'm at work) but all I can compare it to are the Dateline interviews where LE talks to people who turn out to be guilty. It's not unusual for them to ramble and throw out lots of scenarios.

The Seal 6 comment would have made the Agents suspicions that he was involved more certain, because it was a clinical operation after the CRsr and GR murders, and by saying that the Agents would have known that only if you had been at the crime scenes were you to know that it looked like a professional hit,

because amongst his word salad were kernels of truth leaking out and the seal 6 comment was a massive leak of information that he probably didn't realize had happened

Well, it only stands to reason seal team 6 was in the area because FW was claiming ISIS.

He isn't privy to GW4 court proceedings. So do you think his attorney will convince him.

They probably have to consult with his mother first. She's the boss.

 

[dgfred]

Gosh... did they catch him by surprise with an interview?
Just nerves or is he jacked up on something? Hopefully he doesn't talk like that all the time. Wow

Defense wants to strike it!

There are very few government benefits in Ohio. Only if you are elderly, disabled or are below the very low poverty level and have minor children. The benefits are paltry, not enough to "thrive" on. Medicaid only if you are extremely poor and have minor children. Government benefits (mostly paid with federal money), are difficult to get and, if you eventually qualify, are difficult to keep. Even for disabled persons, the state makes you go out on job interviews every week, then provide the info (often in office visits) every month. Try making someone who is terminally ill do that. Their web sites are deliberately confusing or inoperable for people trying to apply. Make one mistake and your benefits end immediately. It takes months to get back on.

There used to be some good jobs in this area, but many of them were shipped overseas during the 2000's.

Like quite a few states, Ohio does not take care of its people.

I agree with you.

This was rambling with a capital R

Yes, they met him in a parking lot and he agreed to talk in agent's car. Maybe he didn't know he was being recorded.

He had to have known it was a possibility he was being taped.

 

[dgfred]

Haha... it is like when some one starts the conversation with "honestly" so forth and so on. They are not going to be honest. LOL

 

[justtrish]

Can not wait for VW to testify.

Who is VW?

 

[twall]

Let us hope Billy will be way less talkative and calmer in future interviews.

He better take some Percs to calm down.


Back to testimony, I have to concentrate now...I'm not a great multi-tasker!

 

[dgfred]

No wonder they headed for Alaska.

I used to work in the welfare system in Pennsylvania. It wasn't near enough money but it helped poor families and allowed older or disabled people who didn't qualify yet for Social Security to have a little money if they lived with relatives. "Welfare reform" was about making the system more difficult and more punitive.

I can listen to it later. YIKES.

The Vance on the tape just played

 

[Ann99]

Skid M is “ Latham”
can’t wait for Skid to testify.

 

[Betty P]

BCI agent on stand: "Latham" was Skid Montgomery. He lived in Latham, was his nickname.

How long is the break?
