Some more poems I found giving clues about the Rhoden Murders Also Another one of Shultzknowsnothin: I told you bout the 401 man Itell you he was part Of the plan He took them all up to the hill He came to rob,they planned to kill I told you of the fowl biblue I tell u 1 dead Told what he knew 1Year n jail a million Gone Did they think none would right the wrong?

Things are not looking good for Reader that is for sure. Why would they go to all the trouble and money to secure all the Rhoden property in a warehouse; and then leave it unsecured? Makes no sense.  http://www.fox19.com/story/33438311/rhoden-family-angry-hurt-confused-by-investigators-amid-pike-county-investigation/ This reporter did a big story on it. The gate was unlocked during the entire time they watched the warehouse. No guards, no lock on the gate.  So is the evidence now ruined? If they go to trial can they use evidence out of the trailers? Or is it all corrupt now? Seems like a big rookie mistake. Or others would call it a cover up. I call it a defense attorney's dream come true.  LM is screaming he wants DR's purse out of the warehouse so he can track down her bank accounts for probate. He seems to only have one thing on his mind and that is accessing assets of his sister. KR's daughter wants her family pics and her dads truck. However, I would

This is another thing I find really odd. There has been no mainstream media coverage of these murders. Where is Dateline, 48 Hours etc? It's been years now and nothing. I don't think it is because its unsolved. They do stories all the time about unsolved murders. You would think this would be a story right up their alley. I have read that Dewine is putting up blocks to all media. But you would still think there would be enough info to do a one or two hour segment. If I was in the family I would welcome it as it may help someone speak up

I always thought it was so odd that there was so much miss information about the death of Violet Rhoden. She was found dead in the wood shot in the chest. First they listed her death as a suicide. Then they listed it as a "suspicious death". https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/rhoden-relative-s-shooting-death-deemed-suspicious- I know a lot on the Topix forums think it is related.

It seems so odd to me how many family members insist the Rhoden family was not involved in drugs. Why keep insisting this when it has been proven beyond a doubt that they were? BJM has said in interviews that "she never saw any drugs" feeding the animals and being around the homes. The same as been said about various other family members. But come on if you have even a small marijuana grow operation; you are involved in drugs. And there was evidence of cock fighting at the scene. Which often goes hand in hand with drug dealing. And let's face it Pike County is known as a drug area. They never deserved to die the way they did. But in solving a mystery you have to have a true picture of what was going on in everyone's lives. Another thing that bothers me is the dogs. Many have said that someone probably threw the dogs some steak to keep them quiet. I don't believe that for a second. Most dogs (especially at a known drug location) are trained to only accept foo

There is a lot of internet jabber that the missing women of Chillicothe and the Rhoden murders are related. Interesting for sure. Most say both are also related to Ohio police corruption. Angela Clemente is one of the people that made the documentary Gone the Missing Women of Chillicothe. Apparently she made a huge post about the corrupt nature of the Ohio police. Apparently this was discovered when they were making the documentary. She took the post down as she was flooded with messages and couldn't keep up. But she has said she is going to re post it. Oddly at the end of her rant; she posts that needs to talk to someone about the Rhoden dogs. How odd is that? So somehow the 2 issues crossed over at least for her. There does seem to be an unusually high amount of police and court corruption around here. We recently had a cop in Westerville convicted of drug trafficking from his cop car near a school. He only got 2 years. Lucky guy huh? From his pictures he may have been his

The Wagner family was very close to the Rhoden family. Well for awhile anyway. They lived approximately 15 mins from the Rhodens. Jake Wagner (JW) had a daughter with HR named Sophia. They did have a rather big custody battle but it has been said that ended before the murders. I have also read that there was a lot of discussion over whether HR's newborn baby was JW's. I believe a paternity test was done after the murders and he was not the father. Also of note is that SW was supposed to be with HR the night of the murders. But for some reason she had JW pick the baby up at 10:30 pm. There has been a ton of innuendo about Facebook posts made by JW both before and after the murders. Since I have not seen them myself that is all I will say. The Wagner family has been a target of Dewines ever since the murders. In fact, Dewine said he was "laser focused" on the Wagner family. The entire family up and moved to Alaska which caused a huge stir in Ohio. I still remember

I have always been fascinated with the Rambling Rose poems. Many think they just pulled info off forums and made them into poems. But that doesn't fly. These poems started just months after the murders. They contained information that no one knew at the time. I thought it would be good to get them all in one spot before they disappear. From what I have read the very first poem is missing. Ramble on Rose is a Grateful Dead song see this link http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl/ramble2.html#sunday Ramble on Rose Since: May 16 Location hidden #865 Wednesday May 18 Each to his own  When Kentucky is home  No Sin goes unpunished When the voice is their own Poppy is dead now I fell down  Wheres Jones at He's Dead.

Here is the 911 call made by BJM reporting the first 2 scenes. Notice she only talks about 1 person shot until later in the call. Since GR and CRS were one on top of each other that is a bit odd. Pay close attention to the end of the call. Also cross reference with Ramble on Rose poems. Odd that she never says she has the babies. Many have made a lot out of her saying "the door was locked but I knew where the key was" Most call this making an alibi. She also claims the 2 rottweilers were sitting in chairs outside (they were normally in the house) Many have said she lived at this address for years so odd that she had to look at the mailbox. But she was in shock I am sure. Caller: Inaudible words 911: 911 Caller: Yes, I need a deputy at 40… breathing and inaudible words 911: I need you to tell me the address. What’s the address? Caller: Give me just a second. Let me walk to the mailbox. I think my brother-in-law is dead. 911: OK. What’s the address? Caller: G

The Rhoden Murders took place on April 21-22 2016. 8 members of the Rhoden family were murdered. Here is a chart Bobby Jo Manley (BJM) discovered the first bodies (2 crime scenes) and is the one that made the 911 call at 7:51 am. She is the sister to Dana Rhoden. She reports she was there to feed the dogs and other animals as she had been doing daily. More on the 911 call on another post. Leonard Manley father to BJM. Her brother James Manley (JM) found the third crime scene with Dana Rhoden in it. 3 young children were left alive ages 3, 6 months and 4 days old. The 8 Victims Chris Rhoden Sr (CRS) age 40 Ex husband of DR. Said to be the first one shot and had defensive wounds on his arm. Also said to be shot through a door. Was awake. 9 gunshot wounds all over body Body showed more decomposition than all the other bodies. Found in the same home as GR. I believe GR was laying over CRS Chris Rhoden Jr (CRJ) age 16 Youngest son of Dana and Chris Sr. Shot 4 times 2 tim

I have always had a fascination with true crime. So when the Rhoden Murders happened; I (like many in Ohio and elsewhere) was just shocked that almost an entire family could be wiped out. I have to admit once Dewine said there was a marijuana grow operation; I figured it was the Mexican Mafia. Living in Ohio you hear about them all the time. But then when they showed that a small grow it was and I had doubts.  I never dreamt that this mystery would continue on this long. I think most thought it would be solved fairly quickly. I mean to kill 8 people and not get caught is quite a feat. Then again it is Ohio.  Since I live in Ohio you hear and read a lot of rumors. But some turn out to be true and not just rumors.  I wanted to start a blog to track all the hinky things about this case in one spot. So this is it! If you find any errors please let me know.
