Video of Leonard saying, "Maybe a child custody thing."
Hmm...I must admit this had crossed my mind early on.
Except this isn't the deep south. I grew up in Ohio. Born and raised. Went to college in Southern Ohio (Miami U). I know all about that Appalachian culture and I know darn well what someone means when they wear the confederate flag. Especially when it is coupled with what we know about Brandon. He hurled the N word at that kid that made the FB threat - Isaiah Jones, who is black. (Jones named here: http://www.myfoxboston.com/news/4-possible-motives-in-pike-county-ohio-murders/243501604)
I've been following along but haven't posted until now... I have some questions that I'm hoping some of you "case experts" can answer for me; (1) Are we certain that BJ entered two of the three homes on Union Hill Rd.? (2) Is the 911 recording that has been released to the public complete (i.e., in it's entirety)?
The reason I ask is because, IF BJ entered at least two of the three homes on Union Hill Rd., then we know that she encountered live/living children. If I understand correctly, the first home entered was the home with the two male adults ( Chris Rhoden Sr. and Gary Rhoden - no children) and, we don't know which home exactly was entered next; however, regardless of which one she entered, there would be/were living children in both of those homes (4 day old in one and 6 mos and 3-year old in the other). Why doesn't BJ mention any of the living children on/during the 911 call? If/when she encountered a living child, why wouldn't she have assumed that, with a child covered in blood, they may be seriously injured and need urgent care?
Sorry if I've missed earlier posts that may have clarified any/all of this!
Did they say that this was not the entire 911 call?

Yes, we are certain that BJ entered the homes of both Chris Sr and Frankie. In an interview posted late last night (I think it was from Channel 10 in Cincinnati), she described finding the 6 month old boy covered in blood.
What we don't know (because there are 2 conflicting stories circulating) is which home she entered first.
It is my belief that she did not tell police she had entered Frankie's home. When they figured that out, they woke her up and aggressively questioned her at 3:41 am. Now she is trying to get out in front of that by telling the story of entering Frankie's house to the media, so she can say she was up front about it.
Seriously? B/c of his hat? I guess he has no feelings. smhSeriously. Every day I find it harder and harder to muster up sympathy.
The question I keep asking myself is why would a SWAT team suit up to search the crime scenes & the surrounding woods?
Another thought on the surviving children - if the assailants were known to family or part of one of the families they must have covered their faces as I would think a 3 year old might recognize someone familiar. I know my daughter who is almost 4 would for most people.
The murderers left the children alone and weren't concerned a 3 year old might recognize them, why?
Things I think, in no particular order, and not necessarily important:
This happened because somebody or somebodies feels like the dead people really ripped them off over something, not necessarily drugs. It feels more like family than business, though.
I don't think Dana was supposed to be a victim. The killer(s) expected her to have been home from work for hours and to be at her own house. She might even have walked in on the murders in progress.
I don't think it's a cartel or drug gang, though drug growing might have been involved. Drug gangs would have gunned the dogs and the kids down along with everybody else.
The odd coincidences that bother me about this: Dana had only just bought the house, her daughter had only just given birth, Dana wasn't supposed to be working that late.
I think the killer(s) knew that Bobbi Jo would be the one to find the bodies. It doesn't surprise me that she might not have called 911 right away; rural people tend not to have much trust of or need for LE.
The idea that Kenneth was the first victim, and his keys were used at the other houses, makes sense to me.
The thing about that video that didn't hit me until now.. The grow operations were at Dana's, Chris's and Frankie's. Now I want to see pictures of the crime day, of Dana's and see where that was.
I tried to post with a quote from the person who said something about the family going into to home health care business and my post was lost saying I can't post here. I will try once more.
I agreed with the posters angle that this may be something to look at. We have a horrific problem in my area of nursing home abuse, fraud, pill theft and health care workers stealing fentanyl patches off the sick and elderly. Perhaps the female health care workers in this family were witness to some of these shady practices which put them in danger. Evidently the fentanyl is used to cut into Heroine which produces much more powerful and often deadly strain of heroine. Perhaps the female health care workers in this family had witnessed this and threatened to report them. It also could be the reason they wanted to form their own health care practice. If you google fentanyl theft among health care workers you will find pages of cases of this type of thing. Perhaps even in your own hometowns. This is just my rambling hypothesis. Just something to think about.
Oh..one more thing. The other day I saw on the news an aerial video of the property with the metal pole barn and the dog houses. There were officers standing within distance of several bloodhounds chained by their dog houses, their tails wagging. Maybe DR's father was referring to dogs on one of the other properties. I will attempt to find the video.
