Alright...let’s start with what we know from articles, overhead footage, arrests, and interviews.
Basics:
A GPS was placed on a red truck registered to AM. The warrant stated it was believed to be used in the commission of a murder-it did not state what murder nor did it give a date of that murder.
What did LE hope to accomplish with that? What were their grounds for the warrant? They knew or had to assume the truck was being driven by a Manley, since that’s who owned it. Now, were they tracking the truck or were they tracking the owner?
LM told us in an interview that there were text messages between JM & JW the night of the murders as well as texts between AM & DR. What did those texts say? Why did LM share that info publicly?
JM’s other truck can be seen on aerial footage that day being searched by LE. LM stated the next day that LE kept JM’s truck.
The W’s home and property they had just sold was searched along with Flying W Farms. What info did LE have to substantiate a warrant for such large scale searches?
The W’s have been named as a laser focus.
Josh Rhoden was arrested not long after the murders for illegal pills and it was stated the arrests came from information uncovered during the murder investigation of his slain family members.
Violet Rhoden is now dead and we still don’t know if that was homicide or suicide but Johnny Kerns has been named as a suspect in her death and was previously named as a suspect in Bernice Hayslip’s death.
Fun fact-Johnny Kerns Uncle was married to Clarence Rhodens sister. Chris, Kenny, Gary, Violet AND Kerns all shared a common Aunt and Uncle. Rita (Rhoden) Kerns (Clarence sister) married Charley Kerns (Johnny’s dads brother)

Then there’s Adam’s Health Solutions.
We also know LE asked for info about the W’s concerning guns, ammo, vehicles, personal and/or business dealings.
Tie all this together and I think we will find the answer. Perhaps it’s time to start from the top.
All of this info can be found on the first page of this thread under the media link.
