Hey, it's ok if we disagree here. illowfight2:
Sorry, I've never perceived an "emotional" aspect to the Rhoden-Gilley murders, just cold, calculated executions. The only exception being Gary and Chris Sr., who apparently were awake and fought back, possibly were punished before killing to extract information.

That's what we're here for, to hash out different theories. To me, though, I see emotion in the Rhoden case. I have from the git go. It may have been "business" too, but I think that the assailant(s) also hated that family. Otherwise, why all the shots? If it were the same folks who killed the Eapmons, who lived in a crowded subdivision, outside of Florence, Ky., then why the multiple shots for all of the Rhodens? Except for KR?
If they were that clean and quick at the Eapmons, and the Eapmons lived in a crowded subdivision, just outside of Cinci, then why multiple shots to sleeping mothers and a 16 year old kid, in the hills of southern Ohio, with no one around? I don't see that kind of hate in the Eapmon case.
I think the stepfather's decision to go back into illegal business dealings got those two killed. He may have tried to get out. He may have tried to blackmail his way out (the missing item). He was formerly the leader of an interstate, pain pill trafficking operation, so he could have made some enemies along the way, or possibly after he was arrested, and they were just waiting for his release. He was in with the big boys at one time. From what is stated about his arrest, he was one of the "big boys" at one time. He was probably swimming in dangerous waters.
Odd too that they hit them in a crowded subdivision and no one saw a thing. My guess it is similar to the Rhoden case here in that no one wants to say anything if they did see something.
