Do you have a link for that info about one being hauled out of a building? Not saying I doubt it, but...

When it comes to the safe theory, I've kind of always questioned it being in CR1's trailer. I doubt the floors in an older trailer are strong enough to handle the weight of a large safe. Possible, but how likely? JMO.

Older model safes, even large ones, aren't difficult to find or purchase as along as you have a way to transport it. Attend auctions or visit antique stores and you'll frequently see them, usually at reasonable cost because they are so hard to move. :(

I doubt anything bigger than a gun safe could have been in that trailer and I'm not too sure the floor could hold one of them if it was real big...Most older safes are steel inside and out with reinforced concrete between the walls. They are heavy...

Thanks! I've seen a receipt online purported to cover the expense of moving a safe from the property, but have no way of knowing if it was authentic. I didn't see anything about a safe being hauled out of a particular building on the property or anything about the size of the safe.

Either way, we'll find out eventually.

Yes I'm trying to find that receipt but I'm also trying to find a video of something heavy being moved out from the back of Chris's property.

I don't want to give the impression that I know there was a safe for sure and we can't know for sure, but it would be nice to see that receipt again and the video I'm looking for.

Been almost 3 years so don't know if the video is still online.

There was a safe on UHR. Somewhere in Thread 32 is a photo of the invoice for securing a safe on UHR for LE. However the invoice did not state the exact location of the safe, just UHR.

I think CRsr had a business "on the books" - buying, fixing and selling used cars. He needed the safe to store car titles. He also ran his auto transactions through a bank for record keeping support.

He also had another business quite "off the books" - growing MJ & selling for a sizable profit. CBS estimated the MJ operation was worth approx. $500,000. It would be a huge red flag if he tried to run his profits through his bank account. So I'm guessing he kept the cash profits from MJ also in that safe. It was rumored that MJ seedlings were found on his property. That tells me he had probably just sold off the previous crop and the cash was likely in that safe.

Interesting side note - when a vehicle title is transferred, it needs to be notarized. Notary also has to verify the mileage at transfer.

There were supposedly seedlings at KR's place. I have never heard there were some at CRsr's place. There is still no evidence shown for an indoor grow and it was likely too early for an outdoor grow at that time. All that info has been very sketchy...

Yes, it sounds like CR1 used the bank for his money, not the safe. As most homeowners know, having just purchased the home for DR, CR1 wouldn't have a lot of money in the bank.

Also seems doubtful CR1 would be willing to die instead of opening any safe he might have had in his trailer. What would be the point of that? CR1 was a pretty smart guy, the Wagners not so much.

If the Wagners thought he had a safe, and/or money, there is an old saying:
You can prove you have something but you can't prove you don't have something...
So if they intended to get something he didn't have, and they were sure he did, it would have enraged them even more...

I'm guessing JW would know whether there was or wasn't a safe. And if there was, he probably knew exactly where it was located.

I knew there was a safe if this is real. I thought it was hauled out in a truck from a building on his property because the truck I saw in a video was hauling something heavy, the truck was tipping a bit, but maybe it was only rumored to be a safe and I am getting rumors and facts mixed up. I just want to be clear. Hard to remember after almost 3 years.

CR knew who was trying to murder him (or get the safe open). He knew that he was going to die because he would have identified them. Unfortunately, he knew that the rest of his family were going to be murdered too.

The W's were pushing HR and CR to sign over custody. CR knew exactly who and what was going to happen to all of them.

When a man tells you that he will be back to wipe them all out and then a week or two later your being shot? CR knew exactly who and what was going to happen to all of them.

I thought it was the kid on Facebook who said he was going to wipe them all out. Did Billy say this?

I am going to reword my post so that I don't violate TOS since I don't know if that was written in the MSM.

What exactly does "Securing safe at Union Hill Rd." mean? It says they transported a camper but it doesn't say they transported anything else. Did they just board up the building it was in?

I'm not sure it was ever confirmed about the fight between GWIII and CRsr when GWIII was supposed to have said that. Everything is so sketch with everything in this case...

That Preacher in Alaska sure didn't know the Wagners family as good as he thought, he let a pack of wolf's into his flock of sheep, JMO

Has that pastor commented publicly since their arrest? For everyone who thought they knew Ws, and especially for those who called them friends, I can't imagine how horrified they must be right along with us. In the pastor's case, I'd think it would be pretty hurtful to discover that he was so wrong about them. IMO, they can't be a genuine friend to anyone unless the people are useful to the W's.

  • The Wagner family moved to Alaska in 2017, but didn’t stay long, said Kelly Cinereski, a pastor and friend of the family who lives in Seward, Alaska.

    “They were trying to run from the story so they could live a normal life, but everywhere they went it wasn’t normal,” he said.

    Cinereski, who knew the Wagners in Ohio before he moved to Alaska, said they were “just a down-to-Earth, good wholesome family.

    “These people wept over dogs, I can’t imagine them taking people’s lives,” he said when told of the charges.

    “If they did it, I hope they get tried to the max. If they didn’t, I hope they get pleaded,” Cinereski said.

This is in reply to ALL the threads about the husband of AW....I'm having trouble keeping up with all the initials and who is who....I'm taking you are all meaning the Father in this case is the mastermind. The question about AW going along with it..... OK I have read that AW was controlling and manipulative in threads on other social media. Even IF this is the case that doesn't mean that she cannot be abused or in fear of her own life too if life with her husband is filled with abuse. It seems to me, and this is my opinion only that there is a lot of control and manipulation going all through this case. This is termed as abuse. One never, I REPEAT NEVER knows to what extent a person would go when they are being abused. (In no way am I excusing these Murders; and in no way am I saying the perps were the victims: this is two different issues. For all intense purposes the forum is focused on the murders).

Take those murders out of the equation and I see abuse all over the place whether it's mental, physical, emotional, monetary, and sexual this is on BOTH sides of the spectrum with the defendants as well as the victims (sadly...and it doesn't mean they should have been murdered). These people are NOT in their right heads. There is also another form of abuse at play here: SUBSTANCE ABUSE. Then still another form of abuse is abusing yourself. In the case of the Grandmother Wagner...there is abuse of social status. Enough said there, THAT is why they felt they could get away with it hands down. MOO, MOO, and MOO. A spoiled child often times is not always a 'good' child. Do you think that it wasn't in the father's mind that somehow his mother could bail him out if he did get in trouble?

NOW to compare my own experience is that I am a survivor of abuse. Enough said here, this thread is not about ME and my own abuse (there is a petrification of fear- the fear is NOT normal even though I do not drink or use substances)....too with me I DO have experience with my father trying to murder my mother in front of both my brother and me with all the factors of said abuse all through their marriage leading up to the moment where my father tried to take my mothers life without success. I can relate to the three children "left behind" there. It is what it is.

So there is NO TELLING what we would do with that petrification of fear lingering over our heads. MOO

Now, something interesting was said about the 'profile' of a murderer and how a person wants the scene to look. (BTW no amount of planning can get rid of a boot print in blood at the scene....the infant was covered in blood...and the 911 call said there was a lot of blood at the scene). My question is the money that was thrown on the body at one of the crime scenes and how that comes into play. I think it was Franky. Is there an ulterior motive...or an additional motive we are not looking at, in addition to the child custody case? I wonder what the meaning behind that was.

MOO instead of throwing our thoughts from our own experiences into the case, maybe we need to let the case speak. The victims need the voice based on what is there. There indeed was child custody, 🤬🤬🤬🤬 fighting, drugs, maybe even jealousy of bf/gf relationship and a lover scorned. It sounds to me that the victims have a long standing history with this other family that frankly right at this time we are not privy to. MOO

Said in respect and great love for all involved. I don't ever want to be 'tested' on any of this. Having that experience as a child has taught me much about things like this alone. We are a product of what our experiences are. I, in no way, am saying that the deceased were abusive here btw other than the chemical abuse. Social media pages shows much love and respect for life in posts they made. MOO

These words are inadequate. I'm sorry you and your family had to endure what you did and continue to, as those experiences no doubt left their mark on each of your lives. :(:(:(:(

Thank you for sharing your informed thoughts and opinions with us and for your genuine care and concern. It really comes through in your writing. I can tell you have a huge heart and love for people.

Just some thoughts in response, and please don't take these as a challenge to anything you wrote. They are absolutely not intended that way.

As far as abuse on both sides, I'm not sure we've seen evidence of abuse within the Rhoden family. As you said, there is plenty of evidence of a love for each other and for life. One can look at pot use as abusing a substance, and while legal true currently in some states, it is debatable whether its use causes harm to the user or to those around that person. Also, to my knowledge, we don't have any evidence that the Rs used pot.

There is evidence of rape, as Jake was well outside the legal age limits when he began a sexual relationship with HR. (Charges for which he now stands accused.)

I don't know of proof of abuse on either side, aside from the rape charge. Granted, severe abuse goes on all the time without "evidence" to those outside of the situation, such as a police report. I do think it's quite possible that abuse was present and ongoing within the W family. However, I also think it's possible that there wasn't abuse. The W parents, even with mama F's resources, had been involved previously with felony theft on what I consider to be a large scale. It seems they didn't need to steal with mama F's resources available, or at least her job offers available to them.

I think we also have to consider that there may not have been abuse in the W home. It's possible that the right blend of whatever science has yet to be able to explain (genetic coding, wiring...) collided with hideously disastrous consequences. Sometimes people who had many advantages in childhood and who grew up in a loving home without abuse inexplicably choose to do monstrous things.

For those of us who have compassion for others and possess the ability to feel true emotions and empathy, their actions don't compute. So, as rational people we try to look for reasons to answer the question, "What caused them to make these choices?" Often, there is a long-standing history of abuse within the family, frequently spanning generations. But sometimes we ask that question and the answer is simply because they wanted to. It's not couched in any obvious abuse or mental illness. As hard as that is for the rest of us to grapple with and make sense of, it does happen.

I'm certain at trial that the defense attorneys will proffer much evidence of abuse within the Ws, in the penalty phase anyway. That is their duty to present mitigating facts. But I doubt if we'll ever know the real truth as to whether or not abuse occurred.

And they'll probably smear the Rs. But the Rs aren't here to refute those assertions. I think the best we have to go off of there is prior actions, surviving family, and, perhaps, social media. They all seem to indicate a multi-generational family, dedicated to each other and to living honorably and harmoniously within their community.

Again, we don't know if that receipt is real, so it can't be posted here. But we will find out before too long. We just have to be patient.

Deleted my comment to Dudley since the invoice is not admissible. Sorry.
