OH - Pike County: 8 people from one family dead as police hunt for killer(s) #7

[JaimeInLA]

I remember dispatch telling Bobby Jo to get out of the house, so I guess that's what JM did when he saw Dana was killed.

But JM didn't call 911.

His own words. His story does not make any sense. We need more details from him. I don't think I am allowed to go into it further because I can't accuse someone that isn't a named POI.

But let me try by saying this... Watch the Fox 19 interview with him talking on camera and tell me what your gut says about his demeanor in that interview.

Then go read his quotes in the 2 Daily Mail stories about him. Think about his story. REALLY think about it. Why would he feel the need to say some of the things he said (without being asked).

ETA: By the way, before I saw that video interview with him, I trusted him. Seeing him talk changed my mind.

Just tell me please what is a red flag to you.

You typed a lot of words but worked really hard to not answer my question..

RV stands for recreational vehicle. His 5th wheel is an RV. Rock stars have motor homes.

 

[JaimeInLA]

What?

What does the grow operation have to do with the thinking of the people? Bobby is the only one I think that might be an issue for.

Because maybe he was scared that some very unsavory drug business people were still hiding in the other rooms of the trailer. I'm just trying to find reasons why he wouldn't have gone further in to check on Hanna, Chris Jr and a newborn.

When I lived in Ohio, when I was 16-21, I had a super hot Trans Am that I refused to put front plates on because real car people don't do that sort of horrible thing. LOL. I got pulled over about a dozen times. Sometimes they just yelled at me and told me to put it on. Other times they have me a fix-it ticket. I stuck it on with duct tape, got an officer to sign the ticket, and then ripped it right back off. My dad built hot rods so he was totally on board with all of this. Anyway, my point is, I didn't every have any kind of traffic record to speak of. I don't understand why this is even on record for the Rhodens. Maybe Cuyahoga county is different, but I doubt it.

And why are drug crimes classified as traffic crimes online? So confusing!

Cuyahoga county is different in lots of ways, and few of them are good. I thought you lived in southern Ohio?

Sounds like you weren't given a traffic citation, so that's the difference here. I received a warning (fix it ticket) from a state trooper for no front plate several years ago. He was very clear when he said the only reason I didn't receive a citation is because I had the front plate in my car and could show him where it had been broken off. Ohio highway patrol is well known for giving more tickets and fewer warnings than pretty much every local or county jurisdiction in the state. The general rule is with a sheriff a ticket is 50/50, city is slightly higher, state patrol get out your checkbook.

No indication that Kenneth may have lived in Kentucky.

Gary, yes.

Yes, the Kenneth Rhoden in KY is not the same Kenneth Rhoden killed. The Kentucky Kenneth Rhoden is Gary's father and Kenny is Gary's brother. The extended family has several people with the same names, or very similar names, so it does get confusing.

Here's Gary's obit which helps a bit with his part of the family tree.

This was also a fairly young family. They may have planned on building a house at some point. Chris Sr just got the property like 10 yrs ago if I'm not mistaken. My parents are in their 50's and just built their first home a few years ago. We had a doublewide on the land that's been in the family since the 1960's. They have a decent income and it still took them 20+ years to finally build.

Exactly and Chris, while a grandfather, was only 40.

on that aerial map showing all the locations.
there is that cut away the runs through the woods there, for I suppose big electric poles.
a person could have driven that and came thru the woods to all the locations, and never had to be on a legal road. used atv's, motor cycles or trucks.

Those swaths are indeed for powerlines. The problem I see with traveling along one is that they cross numerous properties and one might eventually encounter fences.

It is an intriguing possibility, though, because one of them does go from just east of Kenneth to just behind Dana with Chris & Frankie in between.

 

[newtonskeyz]

No, I missed it! This thread moves so quickly. What electric line cut out in the woods?

on the aerial map that shows all the locations, go to satellite view to show the trees, below the properties there is a cut out through the woods, common to when they put up those huge electric lines..
one could have used that to access all properties with no road usage. sure they would of had to walk trough woods. but unseen.

I know, but Bobby called him and her Dad, I'm assuming she told him what dispatch said. IDK

But his wasn't an RV (responding to 2 comments because you both said the same thing). RVs like the type that rock stars use are really nice, and very expensive. His was a 5th wheel - you can't drive it. It attaches to the back of the pickup truck. It is smaller and not as nice. (From what I can tell from the helicopter shots). I just wonder if anyone has any record of him owning a home somewhere. He did at one point have a wife and 2 kids.

Also, that camper he lived in is mobile, so how long had it been there? Is it possible to check Google Maps from 2015, 2014, 2013, etc. to see roughly when it showed up there?

Jamie, his was a 5th wheel, but what is all this you are throwing out here?

Rock Stars? My family has an RV for traveling. We don't stay in it but it is sure nice for an 8 hour road trip.

RV's can be very affordable to more than a house.

My dogs bark at everyone that comes on my property. The ONLY people they don't bark at are my husband and myself. And I have people to my house all the time. They still bark.

My small dogs bark at anything and everything. Doorbell goes off on the t.v., they bark. But the Rottie does not, she normally only barks when there's something to really bark about. The Shepherd will not bark at family/friends that he knows. If it's a stranger we know it, or if there's a strange animal wandering around the place, we know it. So we take it a bit more seriously if we hear the big guys barking. Note: Pits are not super barky dogs. They tend to just go for it and attack if they are going to.

Well I never said RV, nor was I ever referring to one. Plenty of people live in those campers.

Just because a rockstar has a move RV doesn't mean other people do or want one.

Maybe he owned a house, maybe he didn't. Maybe his ex has it. Maybe he liked living where he lived because it was simple. It's a normal lifestyle. Maybe they had a nicer trailer when together and he moved out into that. There's a million answers I can give you.

The price of a nice double wide with improved lots, like out buildings and such can go for over 100,000.00 around here. EASILY. Believe me when I say there are plenty o' times I would love to trade in my house that was built in 1936 ( that I just had to have!) In on one. Lol

I know what you mean, if something ever happens to my hubby. I'm getting rid of this 3200 sq ft house that is stocked full of stuff. I'm thinking of a tiny house parked on my daus land.

 

[KKearns]

Might be taxes are cheaper and didn't want the expense of building a house.
Dunno

They are cheaper. Once you put a structure on land that is undeveloped or forest land, things change A LOT.

 

[Libertasi]

For the record.. I own my house and car, paid cash for them because I saved and invested. I have zero debt.

I have relatives that live in trailers that could buy my house and car 4 times over with the money found in their sock drawer.

I grew up poor and had 4 kids (I was married) by the age of 21. I divorced at 23 and lived in a travel trailer for 2 yrs.in the country. section 8 housing was not on my list of places to live. 4 family members lived on the same rd in trailers. Acquiring land was more important than the dwellings. Most of us live in nice houses now. We upgrade a couple of years to a much bigger nicer house and I regret it now. Too much to keep up with. The kids are grown and keeping this place cleaned and the property maintained takes away from enjoying life. We have discussed downgrading in 15-20 yrs and buying a mobile home. More money to add to retirement and less of a hassle to deal with property maintance in our older years. I would like to add as far as the tarps on those trailer roofs. It is very common in cases of minor leaks that during winter or rainy season people will put a tarp on and wait for good weather to roll in before they repair leaks. I have a brother doing this now lol

In East Texas, everyone calls those clear spots "highlines" . And here they are like the high way for 4 wheelers and side by sides. Idk if it's that way every where tho.

Exactly.

And one of the reasons why I make notes.

Power companies typically frown on fences going across their right of way. Not that it doesn't happen, but I think encountering a fence would be unusual.
OT, bigfoots use those paths all the time- I saw it on TV.

IF he walked out.. Why do you think he did?
