New post at WHIO. Wagners arrested...I have to say the comment made that this was quite a feather in DeWine's cap speaks volumes about the investigation...

Pike County Murders: 4 Wagner family members arrested in 2016 killings

Ohio Attorney General

“#BREAKING: Following an extensive investigation by my office’s #OhioBCI and the #PikeCounty Sheriff’s Office, we have arrested four people accused of the murders of eight people in Pike County on April 22, 2016. The suspects – a husband, wife, and their two adult sons - are now charged with killing seven members of the Rhoden family and the fiancée of one of the victims. We will release more information later today.”

Someone had to stay with the two minor children in their care that night.

It wouldn't surprise me if they left the kids alone in the car while they did this.

DeWine being interviewed now at live feed. Not saying much.

Can't say why SWAT busted through the gates at Flying W Farms.

How many agencies involved? Just dissembling, not much specific. PCSO and BCI. No mention of any LE outside of Ohio or federal agencies.

Says he will talk later about why it took so long. Said all along it would take a long time. (Mmmhmm.)

WOW, they finally arrested them! I knew when this family just up and moved to Alaska that they had something to hide. It will be interesting to hear why they did this. I feel like this goes deeper than just a custody dispute. Looking forward to more details on this. I hope the rest of the Rhoden family will get some sense of closure once justice is served.

I was truly surprised this case wasn’t solved just before the election. Thought that might have been DeWine ‘s plan.

 

[Aqua]

Wow.

News conference at 4:00pm streamed live on WHIO

Finally. I was beginning to think it would never happen!

On live feed, gates at Flying W were chained. Could hear them ramming the gates. Talking about Frederica Wagner and her pony business. Doing some kind of massive property search right now.

Neighbor Jay said shady business going on. Billy Wagner approached him selling vehicle and ATV parts. Always trying to make a buck.

My goodness. Just saw a WS tweet & rushed over. What wonderful news!!

Looks like Billy Wagner was the one arrested in Lexington KY. Did he get wind of the arrests coming and run or was he there on "Business"?

Hmmm, maybe had contacts this way? Or just running his sorry butt away like a coward...

The Wagners have been charged with planning and carrying out the murders of the eight Rhoden family members April 22, 2016.

Live feed reporter saying the SWAT team and county sheriff vehicles are now leaving Flying W Farm. Doesn't sound like the search lasted very long.

Has there been any word regarding the two young children that were in the custody of the Wagners?

Not yet. Maybe at the press conference at 4 pm.

 

[Indy Anna]

Finally! Justice is coming!

 

[GordianKnot]

I’m just glad I can stop Facebook stalking the Wagners now.

It’s been like two years.

MG, ha, glad you can finally crawl up out of those cyber bushes you've been lurking in as you stalked the W's on FB!

 

[The 13th]

I've been worried about the children too. What about the little boy (George's son?) Will he go back to his mother? And Sophia! Surely she'll now have a chance to know her sister.

 

[waterfalllady]

Lexington isn't very far.

Hmmm, maybe had contacts this way? Or just running his sorry butt away like a coward...
