The “Jake has nothing to do with it” comment has been in my head since the moment I first read it. It literally jumped off the screen and into my brain.

When I heard about the arrests I immediately searched for that article to reread FW’s comments.

His grandmother, Fredericka Wagner, said in April 2017 that he had nothing to do with the April 22, 2016, massacre.

“They have nothing,” Fredericka Wagner said in a 2017 Dayton Daily News interview. “Their searches have turned up zilch. Nothing. And they aren’t going to either because Jake had nothing to do with it.”


So - did the other three Ws have something to do with it and Jake did not? Or did FW slip and say “Jake had nothing to do with it” because she knew Jake was the one LE was focused on the most?”

That is odd to say, to me any way.

Then again maybe he was left home that night, knowing that he would be looked at first.

Winters are long and tough.

We had an all purpose 1976 Chevy truck. Not a lot of miles in her but we hauled fish and just stuff. One very cold winter morning I came out to start her and accidentally touched the grill. I knew it was beyond cold when the grill crumbled. On a trip I’ve been in -60 degree weather at border. The places we stayed provide warm overnight parking. Even an engine warmer plug won’t do the job.

Waggies were living in a modified trailer. You just can’t keep those warm at -10 or -29 in January. And even wood heat helps but electric and gas can run hundreds a month.

I mentioned previously that Jake may have been intentionally kept "clean" so he would still get his daughter. That way they would "win" even if they got caught...

LIVE: Father of child at center of custody battle in Pike County killings faces judge

Geneva Rhoden and other family members are there.


ETA: I want to take some sandpaper, stain and varnish to the wood in that room. Just sayin'.

Charlie Reader just came back in, hopefully it will start soon.

I just have a feeling other family members are there today in spirit, especially CR1 and DR. RIP Rhoden/Gilley families.

Judge says there are 23 counts. 8 murder counts with 6 specifications - 3 dealing with firearms, 3 with aggravating specifications. Judge going over Count 1, reading it.

Judge is explaining the additional penalties that apply if he's found guilty of these additional specifications. Includes various additional mandatory prison terms.

For Count 1 specifications 4, 5 and 6, court can impose death penalty, life without parole or life, with parole after 35 yrs.
