COLUMBUS, Ohio — As the investigation into the killings of eight family members in rural Ohio entered its fifth day, more details slowly trickled out.
Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk told the Columbus Dispatch Monday that the marijuana operations discovered at three of the four crime scenes included a grow-house sheltering hundreds of plants.
The youngest victim, Christopher Rhoden Jr., was a 16-year-old freshman at Piketon High School.
“He was the first one that if he thought that someone wasn’t being treated fairly or felt like someone wasn’t being treated appropriately, he would speak up about it,” Burkitt said.
The teen’s siblings – 19-year-old Hanna Rhoden and 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden – also had attended the school.
No arrests have been made, and officials have not said if they have any suspects in mind.
While they have not released any details about a motive, the Attorney General’s office did confirm Monday that one of the victims had received a threat via Facebook. Junk, the prosecutor, did not immediately respond to multiple requests from The Associated Press for comment.
DeWine also said the state’s crime lab was looking at 18 pieces of evidence from a DNA and ballistic standpoint, and that five search warrants were executed. More than 100 tips were given to investigators, and a Cincinnati-area businessman offered a $25,000 reward for details leading to those responsible.

This leads me to believe the killers were VERY stupid, and will soon be apprehended.
“19-year-old Hanna Rhoden and 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden – also had attended the school.”
a 19 yr old and a 20 yr old in highschool?
Sounds like a rather gay sport.
kids threaten each other on social BS media all the time
Did you see the word HAD meaning past tense .
“also had attended the school.”
That’s past tense. In the past. Earlier times. Had attended previously.
I did but interpreted it to mean they ‘had’ attended before their death. Otherwise why bring it up?
They’ll solve this. Consistently, Mike DeVine proves himself to be the ONLY Republican on the statewide or national level who hasn’t been a totally fraud for Republican voters. (exception...there are one or two HOR members who have been good)
Yes, the article is written poorly. Unless their attendance at the school contributed to the crime.
It’s brutal, disgusting and blood-thirsty. Like bull fighting, the animal suffers greatly ... all for entertainment.
It is a VERY Mexican sport.
Sounds like a sad bunch. Kids killed?
Somebody is always get'n the shaft.
So, is cockfighting legal in Ohio? Even us hicks in Oklahoma outlawed this years ago...
19 is normal for a senior today second semester
Schools cut off now much sooner for first grade
You have to be 6 by July where we are
For me it was 6 by end of year hence I was 5 in first grade till November
If you hold back a kid then 19 and almost 20 is common
On this horrible killing spree
I don’t it has diddly to do with the Facebook threat
Likely someone serious and it looks really personal and cautious killing
Cops say the killer or killers took great pains not to leave evidence
These people were sure not Traffic rich....check out the arial views of their trailer home farm...
If I were to guess?
They got prepaid or financed for what was a large grow by someone who takes such things very seriously ....and they reneged and the lender knew his cash was gone
And he’s either a psycho or its deeply personal
It looks like it was done by someone who knew their way around the houses
Yes, I know. I was just trying to make an inappropriate joke.
