OH - Pike County: 8 people from one family dead as police hunt for killer(s) #4

True. And no problem, except that it was important for her to impart all information to LE. She described seeing blood on either Frankie or one of the children, so she obviously saw them. JMO

Right, not giving all the information can make it harder for them to solve. It could make them spend time focusing on something they don't need to or not focus early on something they should.

I just can't help but feel she tried to minimize her part in the grow operations.

RE: Dana's Car Selling Business

Not sure if this is something that has been mentioned, but Dana was advertising used vehicles for sale on FB. In the state of Ohio, if a person sells more than five vehicles in a 12 month period of time, they must have a Dealer's license with the state. This includes completing an application, providing a financial statement showing solvency of the business ($75,000), criminal history check, the posting of a surety bond with the state and other requirements.

I don't know if her car selling business had a legal name, but I did a dealer search online and in Ohio, there is no dealers license under the surname Rhoden, but I'm not sure if I am looking for the right name of the car business.

I hope law enforcement is also looking into the possibility the used car selling business may have generated a very angry customer.

Since Chris seemed to have a salvage yard, is there a way around that dealer license?

Does anyone know which grandson Leonard is referring to in his five minute long interview? Is he talking about James' son or Bobby Jo's son? I'm sure both are minors so we can't name them, but can someone confirm for me that both James and BJM have a son of driving age?

 

[black_squirrel]

On the Bobby 911 tape, I do not hear children or any other person. The tape has a weird echo. It could be either some kind of feedback from the phone (was it on speaker-phone?)
or perhaps it has something to do with how 911 calls are recorded. The weird echo sometimes sounds like there is another person talking. But I think it may be possible that someone
else could also be heard on the tape. Perhaps with some sound editing one could get a clearer sound. Is it possible to download the 911 call as an mpg file, rather than
listening to it on soundcloud? This weird echo reminds me somehow of the movie "poltergeist" (the original movie).

Someone mentioned this before, but I also hear Bobby say at the very end, after an emotional outburst "please, don't hurt me". This is also very strange. This suggests that someone else
is there as well. If someone says "please have mercy" then it could be addressed to God. But "please, don't hurt me" sounds unusual to me. I think it is addressed to another person that
is present.

When you search by the business address the yellow pages returns T & D Auto Sales.

I guess I should know, but who isTammy? I thought LM was referring to Bobby's son, but maybe not. JMO

I think it's a legit business because of the business website. http://www.sciotorivertradingcompany.com/

Also information on Ohio Sec. The business is definitely selling cars when it shouldn't be. The business also has a fb page that also sells used salvage cars.

They're selling some cars but it seems more like golf cart/off road type too.

Do you think it's a legit business that physically exists or a shell/fake company? I'm looking at your link and it almost looks like a shell company. Shell companies can be used for money laundering and to set up bookkeeping/paper trails for what looks like legit businesses but the money is from illegal business (drugs).

It seems like Chris owned a lot more property possibly, with some posts I saw at the gossip site and some with other people.

I'm wondering if more properties had grow operations and with some other people and we haven't heard anything about that yet. He seemed to own a good bit of property to be poor. I've known country people that you would think are poor and don't live like they have much money, but they have a good bit.

My uncle was one of those. He was also a house builder that lived in a house he built and let it get run down. You would think he lived in an old run down house, but the man and his sons built multi-million dollar homes all over the country.

Now my uncle didn't deal in cash and he invested money, but he lived very simple and collected a lot of junk after my aunt died.

Chris seemed to deal a lot in cash, so I'm really wondering if he had a lot more money than was realized and maybe some of this other property has operations and he was involved with partners.

Some property was mentioned bought from a name I've seen on social media and I don't know how they are connected. Also some of it was in surrounding counties, IIRC.

 

[rsd1200]

Wow doesn't seem like they would have been that young, but I keep forgetting Dana wasn't even 40.

I think they divorced in Feb. 2007.

 

[ScotsPaddy]

It was said he may ave also owned a property on the same road as the Minford murders?.

Hahaha. I meant Bobby Jo, not Tammy. Obviously I need coffee.

(Tammy is the aunt in another double homicide case I follow, and I find her shady!)

I didn't read it that closely, just saw the listing of other property. I know the victims in this case had some connections with the victims in that case.

Someone researched this earlier going through records at the county auditor's office web site. IIRC, the property was inherited after the death of his grandfather, Clarence.

ETA: The property where Dana lived had been recently purchased from someone else.

 

[KKearns]

What I saw says 14 properties and many of them were owned with two other Rhodens. One has the name of one of the deceased, but I don't know if it is that one, but it is a KR.

This was talking about some bought from a woman's name I've seen before. I'm not where I can research the information well, my computer is tied up.

Um, who is the one that isn't deceased? I would love to know who just inherited 14 pieces of property!

Not a Rhoden name I've heard before. But he only owned a few with the two others, not all of them. I wish I was where I could research this out.

I saw some pictures on danas fb of what looked like brand new dune buggy type cars, several of them under a carport. Those vehicles can cost as much if not more than a new car.
