OH - Pike Co - 8 in Rhoden Family Murdered Over Custody Issue - 4 Members Wagner Family Arrested #78

Imo this poor woman agreeing to testify on camera, despite receiving literal death threats, is her way of giving the middle finger to the Wagners.

This poor woman. She was and continues to be traumatized by this family.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that they threatened her and her family, but wow if you are being looked at for murdering 8 people, it's really a dumb idea to threaten the current wife and her family. Good grief and her "friend" believing him.

Can you imagine how trapped she felt in that moment? How trapped she WAS! O. M. G.

Thankful for the break, I needed it, lol.

This is carbon copy of Tabitha's treatment. Imo.

It's so sad. They are breaking these girls down or attempted to, making them afraid to even cook, be near the children, have personal items.. I mean the way she describes their interactions as being confronted and I can imagine it. We've heard them all on recordings when they get mad or going on about something. I bet she was terrified.

It's that Wagner sense of entitlement. They're better than everybody. They're above the law. Whatever trouble they get in, they will escape punishment.

I haven't seen any specific charges to indicate SA, but to me it sounds like what has happened to her fits. If she asked for nothing to happen on the wedding night and Jake didn't listen If she is agreeing it isn't appropriate to have relations when Sophia was in the room and he didn't listen.

Gw4 and clan were so fixated and paranoid about child sex. Why?

 

[iridized]

Her testimony seems to me to be overly coached. I want to see how she handles cross examination.

 

[dgfred]

I think they always accused someone of 'touching' children because is was almost impossible to disprove.
Start out with accusations hanging over your head.

I only know this because I literally was in the store yesterday trying to find my kiddo shoes for basketball. lol I was hoping to not have to drive around to various stores by seeing if the men's would work, but it just isn't possible. The smallest we could find in the men's were 8s and right on the box it says size 9.5 women's. I wish I could have made that work. HA!

I often by men's shoes because they fit better. I'm a size 9 women's, size 8 mens.

I agree with the coaching. But she's a nervous wreck.

I don't think she would be alive today if she hadn't called her 'friend'. They couldn't make her go missing after she repeated their threats.

I’m trying to keep an open mind.

A size 10.5 mens shoe = a size 9 womens shoe. I can go with that. Billy is NOT fitting into a 10.5 and I doubt an 11.

It’s a good theory, based on evidence to date. I would love nothing better than for GW’s defense to take Angela & Jake down for lying about Angela’s participation (especially if she’s framing her son & husband) but we’ve got quite a bit of prosecution’s testimony to go. I believe the foot molds of JW & GW were presented yesterday but I think we are still waiting on the shoe expert. Or foot expert, or someone who knows about feet/shoes. We’ll see what happens.

I wear women's 9. I often by men's shoes and I wear an 8 in mens.

Terror, shame, confusion...you can see every bit of it on her face today. I've seen some sad, tragic, horrific testimony but this ranks among the most brutal witness testimonies I've seen. Her shattered innocence is what compounds it, I think. But as I said, she's hanging in there and she's doing great!

She lived a life of abuse and control by the Wagner family beginning with her wedding night. She says "they formed a ring around me".

It seems to run rampant in the women that they come into contact with. Perhaps even within the Wagner family although I don't think anyone has testified to that yet.

Who is the victim here? GW4 and his family who killed 8 innocent people or this young woman who barely escaped from the family with her life?

Well I'm not looking forward to it. The defense will behave badly. IMO.

I grew up in a verbally abusive HH, it's not something you get over or forget.
