I was struck as I looked over the arrest records for Pike and nearby counties. I noticed that a Deputy Reader had arrested one of the men killed. According to Scioto Sheriff the man had an order of protection against him. Sheriff Donini told one of the news agencies he did a wellness check on the person who took out the order of protection and all was fine. Yet Sheriff Reader of Piketon said "he" had never had any criminal encounter with this family in HIS career. Well, made me wonder how long he has been Sheriff. Come to find out not very long. SHERIFF RICH HENDERSON left in MAY of last year "for a job in the private sector". Is Chief Reader even the elected Sheriff? Or was he appointed as Interim Sheriff until the Elections this NOV? Could the fact the seasoned elected Sheriff had left have emboldened the killers? Anyone know where Chief Henderson went?
I want to believe the shuffle may have played a part. I don't know exactly when Chief Henderson told the public he was leaving. How close was it to when the marijuana arrived at the PO?
Good question, I haven't seen the timeline for the murders publicized.Why are we absolutely positive all murders occurred between 4 and 7?
Updated timeline:
2012 AG DeWine issued press release announcing LE had discovered a major marijuana grow site in Pike County with suspected ties to a Mexican drug cartel. During the discovery, 1200 plants were destroyed by investigators and two abandoned campsites were located, which they believe had belonged to Mexican nationals.

Honestly.. If Leonard has inconsistencies because he is drunk 24/7, who could blame him? I would be carrying a bottle with me drinking it like a coke.I haven't seen many people call Leonard in to question...I think the inconsistencies come from what he has said to what BJM has said- which is all documented and can be backed up. And not to cause problems but the discreprencies could very well be a big factor in this case. I don't think it's anyone's place to say what's "conducive""or not- as there are tons of avenues to explore. And while BJM hasn't exactly been named a POI, LE did wake up her up 3am for something.
Basically I think everyone is here because they want to see justice for the victims. And brainstorm about what could have happened..I haven't seen anyone here disrespect/bash the victims- and at least on this thread (#5) I think the TOS' have been followed somewhat well.
Donald Stone and Kenneth Rhoden
I wanted to do another review on the discovery of Kenneth, because he seems to be the offset of this just being from drugs.
<modsnip>
I've looked at that angle and keep coming back to, "why drive 10 minutes South to kill Kenny"?
Why are we absolutely positive all murders occurred between 4 and 7?
Good question, I haven't seen the timeline for the murders publicized.
Jeff Ruby says he rescinded the reward because he feared the cartel would go after his family. Interesting that there is no other reward at all in this case. Why hasn't Crime Stoppers or anyone else put up a reward?
