Attorney General Mike DeWine said in a 9 p.m. news conference that he would not say there is a "person of interest." He did say many of those who were interviewed were in Chillicothe.
Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader said they believe the killer or killers are still on the loose and should be considered armed and dangerous.
All victims were shot in their heads.
Seven victims are adults, and one victim was a 16-year-old male, DeWine said in a Friday afternoon news conference.
DeWine said that the victims were shot "execution-style." All the victims are believed to be members of the Rhoden family, and they were found in four homes, Reader said.
Someone called 911 to report two dead people at a home on the 4000 block of Union Hill Road just before 8 a.m., Reader said in a Friday news conference.
Deputies responded to that scene and checked two nearby addresses on Union Hill Road where they found five more bodies.
In total, seven people were found shot dead at three Union Hill Road addresses and one person was found in a home on Dry Fork Road later Friday afternoon.
According to DeWine, all the victims were shot in the head, some while they were in their beds, indicating they were shot while sleeping, authorities said.
"It's heartbreaking," DeWine said. "The one mom was killed in her bed with the 4-day-old right there."
Perhaps the dogs weren’t barking because they were familiar with the shooter?
——I’m guessing it wasn’t moonshine that was involved-—
Well, how about roosters?
I looked but couldn’t find a still shot but in an aerial view I saw several shelters used by those that raise fighting cocks. In the video there are several “A” frame structures used as fighting cock shelters. They are shown at the left end of the house (trailer)
If there was only one killer, do you think a gun going off inside your house would wake you up?
Yup they are rooster shelters, see many of them here in SC. Notice the circles with no grass, that’s for fighting dogs.
Bodies found by someone come to “feed the chickens, and dogs.”..These were NOT nice people
Hmmmmmmm
Some Hispanics, especially of the illegal invader ilk are into fighting chickens/cocks. A ring of them was busted last year in East Tennessee.
The fact that it involved 4 sites with such violence ,
might suggest drugs or alcohol along with premeditation .
Very strange story.

You’re right, but it seems the first two discovered were brothers found on the floor (s). The 911 caller said it appeared someone had “beaten the crap out of them” and there was blood all over the house.
It’s bizarre.
I'm going to guess a meth or cartel connection. Maybe someone in the family just stumbled on something.
A businessman in Cincinnati has put out a $25k reward for information.
There’s an exceptionally tight lid on info from authorities too. Not one leak. Not one.
