OH - Pike County: 8 people from one family dead as police hunt for killer(s) #4

What's everyone's opinion? If a professional hit would they dispose of weapons close by?

If they aren't traceable, wouldn't matter if they disposed nearby. If they can be traced it would be dumb to dispose them in that pond.

No. Not professional. That sounds like being in a hurry to dump something.

They went to that campground place where they worked to fish and some other places that Frankie went fishing with cousins that I saw a picture of today. It was large water with a bridge.

I saw a pond on the video from yesterday that had the graphics, it was about halfway between Dana's and Chris's.

Then I guess there's a pond around their property, and is it close to Chris or Kenneth's that they're searching.

There's also a pond on property across the road from CR1's farm. There's a barn there, but not sure anyone is living on the property.

That looks like the pond we are talking about.

Not likely, but LE probably wants to check every possibility.

Professionals would have disposed of weapons some distance away, in a much more difficult place to search.

There's another down the road, smaller and closer to the road.

There is a pond close, just seemed small for a dive team, but then like I said later, "Dive Team" could be one person.

If it is a full true "Dive Team" then I would think it is a bigger body of water.

Hmmm Any reporters out there? Helicopter? JMO

A man claiming to be Kenny Rhoden, a surviving member of the Rhoden family, called 911 the day after the deadly shootings saying he feared for his life.

Even smaller.. I'm really interested in the size of this Dive Team, full out major operation and they go somewhere else.. Could mean something.

Hopefully there will be news of where they are soon.

Can we talk about the scene at Gary and Chris's?

Both the incident report and Bobby Jo said that the front room of the trailer was covered with blood. Bobbie Jo said that it looks like they had been dragged to the back room. The bodies were found "very close to each other" on the floor of the back room (obviously moved there post mortem). And the door was locked behind the killer.

Why would the killer move the bodies to the back room? As far as we know -- the rest of the family was found in their beds. Nobody was moved. So why were Chris and Gary moved?

Also, they were the first ones found. Even though they were moved.

This has to mean something, but I can't put my finger on what it means.

Their investigative authority is that rigid. The only reason they did the San Bernardino case was because it involved an act of terrorism. The FBI rarely does murder cases unless it violent crimes against children or it involves organized crime. In fact, if it were me, I wouldn't want the FBI in charge because they don't have a lot of experience in that area. They do have labs and logistics that can be utilized... and they are. Most FBI cases involve a lot of research and a lot of time in the office. The actual FBI is not like it shows in tv shows and movies. The FBI does a lot of white collar crimes. To see a complete list of what the FBI does, you can see it here: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/what_we_investigate

They also investigate gangs, organized crime etc...since those haven't been ruled out to our knowledge this case may qualify. I say it's not rigid bc there are cases like these where it has potential to fall in their jurisdiction but it isn't clear completely what the circumstances are.

What's everyone's opinion? If a professional hit would they dispose of weapons close by?

Pros? Yes. The gun(s) would likely be stolen or serial numbers filed down. Gloves would be worn so no chance of fingerprints. Also, if they're fleeing the scene and come across cops, they don't want to be caught carrying the murder weapon(s). Amateurs? They may or may not think that way.

Still can't get on Amazon, but here is a fiction book about the Cornbread Mafia which I believe will give an insight into the emotions, corruption, money, that drive a crime like this

It's a puzzle that 32 gun shots. No one heard a thing? Is their residence in a remote location?

In the past several years, there have been several Pike Co deputies in trouble with the law. @WCPO investigates at 5

The door that Bobbie Jo went in was locked because we know she used her key. There may be another door that the killer(s) used which may or may not have been locked.
