I saw on, I believe, Chris Rhoden's Facebook page that he was into demolition cars. Could that cause someone to kill him and 7 family members? Idk. I hope not. But is there a 'good' reason for a crime like this?!
Thanks to peacehope.
A fourth crime scene with an eighth victim, a 16-year-old boy, was established near Left Fork Road's intersection with OH 772 in Pike County.
The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, is saying this murder might be due to a demolition car rivalry. They claim family members have floated this theory. Has anyone else heard of this?
From media reports at first they thought everyone was killed in bed execution style, and the kids were killed. Then they said some were in bed, the children weren't hurt, now we find out about Chris and Gary. They're just feeding out a little at a time. SMH I feel so bad for all the people living in that area, they probably don't know what to think.
Thanks. This article also states that the 16 yr old boy was found at the intersection of Left Fork Rd and OH 772
Looking at a map, it appears he must have been at the Left Fork Rd residence and ran away. He was abt 7 miles from the other 2 crime scenes on Union Hill Rd.

Kenneth Rhoden, according to Pike county records, had arrests for violating a protective order. Dana Rhoden had been arrested for domestic violence and resisting arrest in 2000. She plead to the latter and the former charge was dropped. She was, however, ordered no contact with April Crabtree (who subsequently married Dana's brother James). After serving 5 years probation, she was charged with domestic violence in 2006. Chris' father Clarence was convicted of gross sexual imposition. Maybe some of this history has a bearing on the case.
I am surprised no arrest this morning. With a crime so brazen and multiple crime scenes, there is surely good evidence left behind. I would think anyone with this kind of a grudge against an entire family would not be able to keep that hate to himself. People must know who would want them all dead.
ETA Remember a case near Houston just last year where an entire family was killed , save one, by a disgruntled ex husband .
This is the current list of inmates in Pike County jail. There are two without charges or bond yet. May not mean anything but it's been that way most of today.

Anyone who has ever used a can will tell you that action movies and video games have screwed up public perception of suppressor's. The things are not THAT quiet. Add on the fact that a round hitting flesh and bone is not quet as well. This was violence of action vs stealth.SBM for relevance ...
I think so too... only other explanation would be if the person/s used a silencer.
Chrystal meth and alcohol.
That's the only combination I know of that would send someone into this kind of rage after a night of sitting in someone's house.
Also, does anyone know who of the blood family is still living? No names. Just... sisters, brothers?
I think whatever happened was over pretty quick. Not many people could hit that house where their is known adults with firearms and do something like this without turning the front yard into a two way rifle range. In my opinion If you had a perp or perps who made a dynamic entry on 4 homes without a scratch then that person or persons havs been on a stack before.
