Pike County murder trial: Law enforcement, first responders testify about chaotic scenes 

Nobody in their mind could imagine such horror. These family members are so very brave. My heart ❤ goes out to them. I remember working in accident and emergency as a nurse. Two sisters 18 and 21 were killed. I absolutely froze to the spot waiting for them to arrive to the unit. It was the parents that I had to deal with. I will never ever forget that incident. That was 18 years ago. Still to this day I visit the girls graves. There buried side by side.

Thank you for having these videos, I think this kind of coverage is so crucial for transparency in our legal system.

That poor baby! There is evil beyond my darkest imagination! Jesus comfort this family!

You have to be some kind of especially sadistic and evil to kill a mom who's nursing your own 3 day old baby. They either shot her while the baby was laying on her, or put the baby on her to nurse after they killed her. Either way it's his own child nursing off her dead mom and that is as twisted as it gets.

My heart goes out to the family, those who were left to pick up the pieces, the folks who had to find, process and photograph the grewsomely horrific (I'm sure) as well as those today an for many more who have to see this tragic mess. I'm not a few of the police, government agencies etc. But as a person, my heart goes out to them, no one should have to see this type of ugly play out in their own community.

Gruesome for the ppl who had to find and deal w/this tragic, senseless loss of life.

Charles Manson crimes turn my stomach but for this Piketon massacre I have no words. Thinking ahead and more specifically to Jake Wagner's forthcoming testimony how easily and suavely a definite psychopathic persona as he entertains can lie and about his brother's true reasons for accompanying him and his father on that fateful night. My question is what was the alternative for George? Did George truly not want to be involved? Was he involved in fear of his own life? I ask this as it appears that Jake was and is an unpredictable ruthless character like his mother, Angela. Will George take the stand to plead his disposition? Well whatever that may be, he remains an accessory to these murders and the former can only be argued in mitigation of sentence. It is also amazing how being incarcerated and removed from the influences suddenly invokes clarity of how wrong he was, or not? Does George also entertain a similar psychopathy as most obviously his mother, father and brother do? What would define him as being a remorseful person with a conscience? This matter is so interesting to the entire world, in my experience hereof I have never come across anything similar before. I hope that the forthcoming witnesses realise how important it is for us and USA Judiciary and Legislature to see and hear the testimony for reasons of enhancing law and setting precedents globally.

I watched as Jake plead guilty and I could have swore he was trying hard not to smile or laugh when he plead guilty to Hannah’s murder. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around all of this. I’m praying for all families.

So many questions that seem absolutely pointless. Like, which route did you take from your home to the scene? Were there any other officers following you or going to the scene. How were you rerouted? Just many that seem pointless and taking up time.

Boohoo if you didn't want to see the pictures of their dead bodies then he shouldn't have killed them that's what he gets now you will have to look at what you've done.

Was he told to sit there and look like a murderer? Because when he looks right into the camera, he’s a scary dude.

Ive never understood why they need to go into such detail regarding the officers start from the beginning of his career, how his days go, what he does first, how much gas he uses, what radio station he listens to, on and on. They seem to do this in many cases and is an overload of unnecessary information

Mr. Dickerson is even having a difficult time viewing and reliving the events of that day. I feel for him. I'm sure those images will be embedded in his brain until the day he dies, especially the ones of a young mother like Hannah with her baby at her breast.

Poor baby I hope she's with the victims family. Not the perpetrators

Why would it take 6 years to bring this to court! Crazy

This man & the minions who took part in this plan are pure evil. You murder a mother with her baby? I hope they all rot in prison. At this point they’re all just oxygen thieves. What a gross family.

Too horrific to even watch any longer. Demonic.

How do they get into the home with out some one in the home not hearing them enter and if she is brest feeding she doesn't realize someone is coming through the house or did they put the baby and Hannah in that position to make look like she was breast feeding and she was really asleep with the baby close them shot her then put the baby like that so it could feed just trying to figure out why or how nobody got up at all Frankie and is wife never heard someone come in they have these mean dogs everywhere I'm mean something had to wake someone up

New drinking game... Take a shot every time the male prosecutor says "Walk us through..." or "Take us through..."

The dude looks like a real creep.

Good God. This is too much for any one person to endure.

Who is the rude female who disrespectfully interrupted and corrected the judge when he referred to a witness as a juror? I believe she should have been more respectful.

This exlawofficer has bad memory. A scene like that I would never be able to forget anyone or anything.

Punish these people to the fullest extent of the law. I believe that these kind of people should be released to the hands of families. They are the ones who deserve to serve the justice. Every sinister case.

The Director did well even though he was badgered by defense.

The mom went to her husband saying they should have left their sons out of this and committed the murders themselves after George started having nightmares - I would be having nightmares too WOW

I'm looking at George #1 jawline he's grinding his teeth, cutting sharp eyes Also during photos he's staring off to his left without blinking as if he's reliving a situation in his head I dunno. My heart breaks for all the children in these families. May God give them Peace.

Oh my goodness. 3 day old baby and they killed her mom. This is awful how many people were murdered in this scenario.

So evil 😢

❤️🙏🏽🕊I am so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. May God keep you and comfort you. 😔

Wat sort of a human can do this.... Evel .l hope ho ever is involved in this .but in a box with no phone no visitors because the people they killed will never get a visitors.l must say if the defence prove wat they said this guy walks

I don’t understand this whole thing over one child? All these people involved from both sides…Is she the Golden Child? Does she have super powers? Just don’t make sense, there has to be more to it

Real smart. Now the child is motherless n fatherless.

PIKE County??? Based on CONVERSATION??? No Wonder the judge states over and over again and again that no other county IS involved . Is Mr De -Wine over the 'other' county? I just wonder!!! In my opinion, it is NOT the same county!!!

Further to my comment below, I strenuously disbelieve that child custody was the sole motive for these murders. As the matter enfolds, it becomes evident that there must have been far more acrimony specifically present between the Rhoden and Wagner families, which led to these crimes.

OMG… 3 days old?? What a wicked monster to kill your baby’s mama like that. Sick!

This camera person is horrible

Vile evil human being and all involved.

Anybody know if they are allowing the Public into the trial? Is this trial in Piketon Ohio? Doesn't look like very many people besides family. I'm currently 2 1/2 hrs from Piketon. Would be interesting to see crime scene photos.

Is THIS WHY Mr Wagner has been nigh to more than four years has NOT been released to go HOME ??? Is this Mike De - Wine with 9 children that USED to be Republican Senator of Ohio??? Very interesting !!! SO is the 'Special' Lawyer (female) for the other District (Pike or other)???

What kind of law officer was he? Not questioning anyone?

WOW, Can you imagine....well, I would think that the 'same' would be 'FOR' Mr. Wagner, would you not??? 4 Plus Years, he has NOT been home but IN JAIL!!! So, it looks like the Sheriff is useless??? Well, I would be furious!!! This is one of the most botched up pile of pooh that I have ever seen :(

Body language speaks volumes

All of the First Responders, investigators, EMS, Sheriff, Police, CPS have done one amazing job piecing this horror all together. Such a tragedy. I give thanks that this families of the vidtims have held strong against such demonic actions by this crazy family. Lethal injection or a firing squad would be my recommendations.

The camera focusing on the defendant the whole time is super annoying, especially when there are photographs being shown and witnesses testifying, but all the camera shows is the defendant.

So, was George Jr born with a permanent scowl?

Does George only have 1 dress outfit?he has literally worn the exact same outfit for the entire time it seems like.

What is gonna happen to Sophie when she learns the ttuth???

Wow... I can't even think of any other words.

This is the 3 video I have watched about this crime and had only saw a news report when it happened. I am really confused, they killed everyone in Dana’s house except the baby, I would guess because they wanted to make sure there weren’t any witnesses. But, why did they kill all those other people?

I guess when push comes to shove family ties don't mean much to this family 😁😁😂😂

Why is George Wagner the only one on trial and charged with the death penalty. I know he sided in the killings, and his brother Jake and his mom both said he did not kill anyone , so why wasn't the others in trial

What would he have to gain killing this family?? He wasn't fighting for custody 🤨

You have to be a very nasty person to defend someone who killed 8 people.

I think this case is horrific and I pray for this family to heal. With that being said, the woman prosecutor seems like she got her law degree from a Cracker Jack Box. She is very unprepared

I am confused as to how the Court hearing change from one victim Ken Rodent to this murder scenes with three murdered victims Christopher and two females and baby.

This courthouse looks like a hodpodge of salvation army, Good Will rejects just thrown together, willy-nilly. It looks like random desks, deacons benches, folding chairs, wiring hanging every which way, gauges out of the walls. I guess they don't include courthouse maintenance in their budget1

It bothers me that they exploited Hannah May to the whole court room after saying she was bare breasted & breast feeding just so they can proove a pacifier in the bed...wtf??? We all would of believed it without them using that poor young mother that way. It is a horror tactic on the jury ( don't get me wrong, I want the Wagners to pay but do they have to use this young mothers naked, slain body this way? Where is the respect?)

So far the defense hasn’t asked any meaningful questions, why bother?

What kind of trial doesn’t show photos of evidence ! Terrible

Did this brother move to Alaska with his family?

The other brother admitted to 5 killings. Which 5 persons did he say he killed?

This is horrible. Was it about the baby or was it about the marijuana

This prosecutor and the defense attorneys could never do a trial of this magnitude n a big cosmopolitan city like Los Angeles, or New York!! This prosecutor can't even look professional for court let alone how she questions.. horrendous.!!!!

I was at Dunkin donuts getting donuts for my guys........I went north for 3 miles on union hill drive then took a right.......we could tell the door was unlocked...... and when we entered the room I went over here to clear it.........now that area was secure......and my partner told me to....... *80 mins later stfu and tell us something really relative to the case already!!*

Are the defendants in all of these murder trials being represented by court appointed attorneys???

I don't how. They got in. The. Home. If. Its locked and did nt Get up or. Hear. Anything 😢😢

If he was trying to gain custody of the baby why didn’t he take the baby with him? This doesn’t add up

Who got Sofia custody now ?

So sad this happened to these folks ...don't understand the people's idea with what they were thinking the outcome would be doing such a thing

These attorneys, prosecutors ask such stupid questions and they seem very inarticulate. Maybe I’ve watched too much tv with the slick law court shows. What does it matter who drives the 🚑 ambulance, how many ambulances and who’s driving. Get to the point, is there a question here. If I was on the jury I’d be so bored by now I’d have switched off. Maybe that’s their defence bore the jury.

Some people must answer for this period.A 3 day old baby executions occured that is very very personal.May justice be served and God judge come the day.

That drawing behind the judge should have a picture of " lady justice ⚖️ holding a scale " not " a bible.

Very poor county

How horrific Mt heart goes out to the family..

His lawyer looks completely bored

This is a special kind of EVIL to do as they did. God Bless the survivors.

Why were the two instigators Jake and his mom allowed to plead and the two followers, the dad and the brother left to stand trial. Without jake and his mom these horrific ctimes wouldnt have happened in the first place. Did the state really need these two evil people to convict the other two?

May God save your soul.

To think that having control of your grandchild's life, and her well being has more worth than 8 other lives is not love, it's ultimately evil.

Get a prosecutor up there that can ask coherent questions. Round and round she goes asking questions that are, at best, peripheral.

THAT GUY WENT FROM A NEW BE TO A SERGENT IN FOUR MONTHS, I WONDER WHO'S BOOTS HE HAD TO LICK? FOUR MONTHS.. NEW GUY COMES PRANCING IN.. & IN 4 MONTHS HE'S YOUR BOSS.ARE THEY PULLING NUMBERS FROM A HAT TO PICK THE TOP GUY. OR MAKING BETS ON WHO'S NAMES AREN'T GOING TO MAKE IT INTO THE HAT.

Where was Sophie this whole time?

1:30:00 This lady is 'doing it' at progressing in her career.👏👍🧠📚💻

There's more to this story then what meets the eye...The Custody situation was part of the problem...but not bad enough to kill 8 people from the same family... Something bad lead up to it...When murder does occur during a Custody battle..it's normally one of the parents...not 8 members of the same family... because 7 of the members wouldn't be a threat cause they have no say in any courtroom.. Everything I've learned so far about Jake and Hannah...both of them never had any issues with child abuse..Jake did say that Hannah was hanging around shady characters...But I'm sure she could say the same about him...look at his family and what they help do...Murder...Yes the custody thing had a little part in the Murders..let's say it fueled the fire that was really going on between both families...think about it....8 people

Why don't they show pictures to people?

Welcome to the court hearing .yes I was able to watch the very first hearing and when the witness was question ⁉️⁉️⁉️❓ by the Precectcutor I was in tears just watching the witness sub crying he was very imostional after all was his cousin that was shot to death.. hope who ever did it that person deserves to be jailed..if the investigation is terrily Investigate and gets the fact . other's wise the both party can't gets peace.. sorry to all of you and have to go through this.. Peace

Slowpoking detail..
