This is my theory on the forged papers. I don't think anyone saw them, knew exactly what was on them or prove that they were forgeries UNTIL they could compare the documents (or lack of them) with recorded documents in Ohio. I believe they presented documents when they crossed into Canada. I believe a large part of the delay in crossing was Canada agents, taking the paperwork from the W4's and slipping into a back room and photo copying them! Voila....W4's were probably distracted by other things like vehicle searches and declarations etc. It would have been the first time Ohio investigators had any paperwork or docs to compare with originals or to see if they were indeed what they were proposed to be.
Good theory!
Count 18 - copy of an original when no such original exists
I'm paraphrasing

I think JW desperately loved HMR, he couldn't image life without her & S. But something happened over the holidays that made him realize it was really over. The planning phase of the crime seemed to start 1/1/16.
Maybe talk of HMR & CH getting engaged or moving in together after the baby was born. Maybe CH got S an over the top Christmas gift and that was all S could talk about, that would make JW furious. Either or both could have been the writing on the wall for JW and he was heartbroken. When he finally realized Hanna would never again reciprocate, his love turned to hate. Don't they say the opposite of love is not indifference but hate?

So do you think he presented his family with the idea to kill all 8 because of unreciprocated love?

In reference to the Walmart discussions. The W's more than likely would go to the one in West Union which is approximately 15-18 miles from Peebles. Waverly is about 30 miles give or take, and Hillsboro maybe the same (30 miles). New Boston is also a possibility as it is on the way to where Angie's mom lives. (#52 East out of Portsmouth).
Or possibly multiple Wmarts.
If the Wmarts in Ohio are anything like the ones near me, there is not a chance you would be able to find all the sizes you need at just one store!

No I think that was the last straw of a very long series.
And Dewine did promise us many bizarre twists and turns.

Wish I would have thought to link that!

You didn’t need it, lol.
It so annoying when articles & documents disappear.
Luckily, rsd has what seems to be all of them!

Charlie it’s, linked back a few pages, I’ll look.
Can you tell us about the camera guy talking abt the prosecutor on open mic? A lot of us couldn’t watch live. TIA

Jake Wagner appears in Pike County court for first pretrial in Rhoden family murder case

Discovery items in this link.
I heard them say” ( blonde Prosecutors name I forget it) told me they’re guilty as hell”. He said something referring to blood ( I think) evidence got them. That’s the best I was able to decipher out of it.


I called the Pike County Clerks Office and told them they had a hot mic and people all across the country heard them. They never turned it off but their conversation was then muffled.

The clerk said she couldn’t make sense of it due to noise in the office.

Not professional at all from any angle. There were over 700 people on line around that time.

THANKS FOR LINK.

JW seems ultra feminine to me. Idk if it’s his hair, his fine feature, long fingernails or what. He certainly looks dif’ than the other men In his family, IMO.

I think he can’t help his smirks, it’s a nervous reaction. He might feel “famous”, knowing he’s on TV. He’s used to getting his way & maybe isn’t aware of the severity of his situation. He appeared to like being referred to as “Mr. W”. Which is fine, cuz won’t be long and he’ll be referred to as a number.

Funny you refer to his looks the way I was thinking. I'm almost on the edge of maybe a different bio daddy.

Tysm! So confusing, from Charlie’s post during the livestream we were under the impression a new lawyer was brought on board.


The Judge said something to the effect after introducing the first 2 for the record “ and Mr. ____________ has come on board today. Or has joined us today” I can’t recall. But it gave me the impression he was new. And I saw 3 at Prosecutors table in nov, but 2 at defense. Today the 3rd defense att was also not in camera that I observed. But I was paying attention to the camera guys and later to exactly what the judge was saying v

That had to be preapproved. Someone was notified they could bring him an outfit. Aunt RW, likely. Because everyone else with access to his wardrobe are locked up.
Bet AW is glued to the jail day room TV.

Sometimes the attorneys themselves buy them clothing or arrange for family to bring it to them. He changed into it when he got to courthouse. He entered building in jail uniform if I recall the video correctly.

. Aunt RW prob’ didn’t want to drive all the way to Franklin county to deliver his outfit.
Speaking of RW, I saw her talking to a man, anyone know if he’s AWs half bro?

Here’s his arrival video

Tysm. I think rsd cleared this up. In any case Greg Myers is a family law atty from Columbus.

Also, thanks for the hot mic info. That’s crazy. Even crazier is that you actually got thru when callling the clerks office.

I hear ya. He looks absolutely nothing like any of the W’s I have seen.
However, I look like no one in my family, either. Everyone has dark hair/brown eyes, on both sides & I've always been the green eyed blonde.

The “no snitch zone” is hilarious. JW wants certain people to not be allowed to talk to him about the case. Well, don’t answer them. Simple. Maybe he thinks he’s reached celebrity status.
I bet he’s popping off at the mouth in the day room or with other inmates & there’s now some animosity amongst them.
I noticed a mark on his left arm and considered maybe he’s been in a scuffle.

Do any of you recall an inmate asking for privacy in jail?

It will be very interesting to see how this unfolds....

Wagner’s attorneys began the lengthy legal process of trying to get information from the prosecution on the case. The bill of particulars seeks to determine exactly what role Wagner allegedly played in the Rhoden family murders.

For example, on the charge of murdering Kenneth Rhoden, they want to know if the state is accusing Wagner of having a firearm on his person or under his control, but not in his personal possession

Potentially, how disastrous might this be to the case?
THANKS FOR LINK.
I'm not sure this happened, but WS inserted my reply into your message, sorry.

Wasn't she under a gag order?

The state has also turned over interviews of Jake Wagner, his mother Angela, his brother George and father Billy. The records show the first video interview of Jake Wagner was conducted on May 13, 2016 -- nearly a month after the murders. Angela Wagner was interviewed the same day.

Jake Wagner appears in court, some evidence turned over to his attorneys

This confirms LE was onto the W clan from early on. This confirms LEcwas onto them from the get go. If the first ViDEO interview was 05/13/16, there was a at least one non- recorded, less formal interview prior, I would think.

Is it possible that #3 is doing this pro bono in order to become a DP qualified attorney?
