He said: 'Kenneth would normally padlock the camper where he lived from the outside when he left.
'I was supposed to meet him the night before and go to work on some cars with him in the morning.
'When I didn't hear from him I went to the camper and it was unlocked and his truck was outside and I felt there must have been something wrong.
'It was the afternoon and he would normally be out working on cars at 5.30 am.'
Fighting back tears, he said: 'There was blood everywhere man. It was something no human should see.
"I was going to work with him repairing cars and we had been to a couple of auctions together earlier this month.'
Stone revealed that his cousin owned a 'ferocious' pitball dog called Brownie and believed the killer must have been known to him.

I really hope this wasn't over cars.
That would be Chris Jr's fb page. There's also a number of past charges on officers and other incidents in the county, but I think Reader was put in to clean up the image of the Dept. Probably to be more trusted, because it's obvious the community has issues reading many local comments. People seem to like and trust Sheriff Reader though.
This is why they are accurate saying this will be a long investigation. Run down every lead related to pot, cockfighting, derby cars, family spats, road rage incidents, domestic violence incidents. Every path has multiple paths leading off in different directions, some of them probably cross over each other. Something that's a dead end tomorrow will show up on a different path in two weeks. Mapping this out at the end will take a week by itself.I can see why LE is having such difficulty. So many possibilities thinking of all of the mentioned (and unmentioned) connections to so many different things.

OK but can we clear up whether JW is in fact Hannah G's brother? That's really all I wanted to know. LOL JMO
I am thinking it was another family member that got stiffed, the murderer knew where they all lived, the dogs knew the person so they were quiet, and with the pot money up for grabs and that Christopher Rhoden Sr. owned all those properties, someone wanted a cut of the cash.
Cousin Gary had some connections to big operations. We speculated that might be why he was there and why the bad people came.
I have a friend familiar with southern OH and he said there was a lot of distrust with LE there and some for good reason.Seems so odd that someone in town gets accidentally killed with the county prosecutor's gun. Uh huh.
And the (assume) former Sheriff's brother (working as a volunteer) kills a local man after a car chase, but nobody witnessed it and he was reinstated. No indication of criminal activity by the victim, other than trying to get away from the Sheriff's brother. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

It is starting to remind me of Walker County, AL. If you want to kill someone, take them there. People disappear and are never seen ever again, lots of old mine shafts, murders don't get solved, many crooked back country cops.

Why would the killer leave 1,000 anyway? What if they owed the Rhodens that money or more?

It's a common occurrence in Appalachian culture altogether.I think that was actually a different guy... a white guy. Apparently, receiving threats was a common occurrence with this family.

Reaction is delayed, but since they're only going 11 miles an hour it's not that dangerous.So am I and I have never heard of Weed Day. I guess I didn't follow that particular case.
I am really old school for I have never seen a marijuana cigarette in my entire 69 years on earth. I have just never been around anyone who was smoking it. Of course I have read about it through the years and seen it in movies or tv shows, but that's it.
The more I read about it I don't really have a problem with it being used for medical purposes where it is legal. Our state just passed a law that it can be used for those who have certain medical conditions. I wish it had been legal when my mom was dying of cancer at the age of 57. She was always so nauseated from the chemo.
I don't think it is nearly as harmful as alcohol or other drugs whether its prescription or illegal. I don't think I can recall a case where someone was loaded up on pot and then went out and murdered people. But then I really don't know how it affects people when they are driving a vehicle. It seems to me their reactions would be delayed which could be dangerous I would think.
IMO

I know a lot of this stuff probably sounds bizarre to folks not familiar with the region, but nothing I've heard so far about this family -- pot-growing, arrest records, jobs, homes, hobbies, cars, dogs, hats -- makes them in any way unusual. Nothing, except that 1) their grow operation is bigger than 12 plants in a back bedroom, and 2) eight of them were murdered.
I listened to the interview on the radio, that the AG gave today, and the money thrown around was the only thing that he did allude to that was false.I think the $1000 was in the UK paper? Was that on video? Some of the UK papers are straight tabloid, so you can't always believe everything detail they print.
Buying cars and selling cars is one way to launder cash from drug sales. Dana has some really nice vehicles on her pages. I wondered what that was about.
Sure with indoor operations and they had at least one of those.But was pot money fronted, pre-crop? None of the plants could have been ready for sale this soon, could they? JMO
