The system that one of my kin has doesn't have anything to show that he even has a security system. He punches in a code when he leaves and if someone breaks in, a silent alarm is sent to the company and 911 is notified. After reading the article, it seems that if they were that afraid that the trailers would be burned down, why have they been left unguarded at the lot where they are at? Anyone could burn all four of them down much easier, with them sitting side by side, in that lot. Unguarded. Even if they stuck a guard out there, these are folks who murdered eight people, in their homes, as they slept, do you think, if the murderers think, that's there's damning evidence in those trailers, that they'd not murder a guard, and burn down those trailers in that lot? I feel like they'd have zero problem with it all. That storage site is located in a fairly un-populated area and they could come in the back way and be gone before the fire trucks arrived.
You have a legitimate idea here...but personally, I can't imagine anything the Rhodens had that was worth millions somebody over. Unless the killers were lead to believe that there were 10's of thousands of dollars hidden in one of the homes. Didn't find anything in one home, move on to the next. Rumors about hidden money would certainly motivate somebody to rob the place, but that could have been done when nobody was home, and it isn't likely family members could be a 100% sure that "Lee" is the ONLY person who could have robbed us. No different than being robbed in town as in the country. Unemployment as high as it is there, each family member could have named two or more people who"might" have broken in and robbed them.
IF the motive was robbery, it doesn't necessarily need to be money. What else could they have hidden that someone might want? Pictures? Notes? Videos? Makes me wonder.
In my heart of hearts, I don't believe it was robbery. But there are a LOT of items/situations that could motivate a person/persons to kill over.
This is another avenue to consider, but in doing so, I have to compare my family with the Rhodens.IF the motive was robbery, it doesn't necessarily need to be money. What else could they have hidden that someone might want? Pictures? Notes? Videos? Makes me wonder.

You have a good point. If they're smart though, both LE and the perps, if perps even attempted they'd be caught on video surveillance. I'm guessing it's probably being monitored and recorded at an off site location just like home surveillance.
I've also wondered if the Rhoden homes were under surveillance by the perps. If they'd somehow been in the residences and placed their own equipment up to watch them around the clock. Hearing conversations and seeing what their doing.
Has anyone read the updated article from Channel 19 today? Major Secrutiy Changes mark end of Fox 19 Now Pike County Investigation. There are some interesting tid bits in it. Like " Reeder says he will be giving some of the evidence back to the Rhoden families within the next six weeks. ( The Rhoden families, not the Manleys). Please read the article and tell me what you think.
Link please?
Wow! After nearly five months since the homes were moved, NOW they have signs, padlocks, stakes, and somebody checking on things? Good for them. The Keystone Cop's got caught fibbing to everybody! Somehow, I'm not surprised. As far as "giving things back", remains to be seen.Has anyone read the updated article from Channel 19 today?

Reader never did. So, we got the invoices from the county. In them, it showed something in one of the homes that Reader—while on the record—told us, “I don’t need the public knowing that s—t.” That something is still inside the trailer where Christopher and Gary Rhoden were murdered.

Any guesses as to what the something is??
I'm thinking something in the walls, something written on the walls? Could be Reeder wants someone to think there's something in it and try to break in and get caught?
I think they didn't specifically say Manley family, but I believe they would be included in that, since Dana is also a Rhoden by marriage. I doubt them not mentioning the Manley's by name doesn't mean squat.I don't know what is going on with the Manley's but IMO they are the family that they don't want the children around. They didn't mention returning any property in those trailer's back to them. And they are not responding to requests from them according to Leonard Manley. So what's going on there
It occurred to me it could be a setup by Reader and the reporter. At least I can hope so.
ETA: I can't imagine what it would be that the investigators left it. I've seen doors and sections of walls removed before for evidence.
