The Notorious Story Of The Pike County Massacre 

I want to know did the child have ownership of the land and property or something

Can you imagine the burden they put on that poor child’s shoulders, someday knowing that your father killed everyone to get ownership of you. Talk about a double whammy because she might live with guilt that is not hers, because she was the object of the deed. I was just thinking about that, not at all saying it was her fault, but like survivors guilt you wonder why you were allowed to live, her father selfishly put that burden on her shoulders. I pray she never ever thinks that about herself and knows as she grows up it was not her fault. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.

People get so dumb they are not capable of knowing just how brain dead they are.

And then the flip side is that they would have if not for those wives. I mean that's some really good methodical careful planning. They thought of so much that your typical criminal doesn't.

Yeah like Chris Watts who figured people would just stop looking for his family and he'd be able to move on with his mistress. Sure, this was planned better but they were the obvious suspects.

Look at them. The sort of trash who commit these crimes have little grey matter floating in their heads. It's all filled up with greed, hate and self interest. And it makes them fugly as Hell.

They almost did

He has no soul, it's missing.

It's the mindset. He knew he was going to do that before he did it. Emotion doesn;t come into. There is none.

It has been settled for years and years. Turner v Driver is the landmark case. Smith V Cumming and Glik v Cuniffe are others.

No soul, just pure evil.

demons

But why was he wearing gloves when he testified?

@@VivaSepulchre He had a catalytic converter to steal at 3pm, and court was at 2pm.

​@@MarioGoatse😂😂😂😂😂

​@@MarioGoatse,😂😂😂😂😂

It was the subpoena that gave him the inner strength to testify.

Yep, that was my first thought.

Thought that too

I thought the very same during OJ Simpsons trial; why didn't the Nicole's Akita attack or bark at the killer??? Cuz it knew him, that's why. And this was never and has never been brought up by anybody then or since. ??????

@@CARDINAL701 mans ain’t do it

@@CARDINAL701 Isn't this about the Pike muders the fuck O.J name came up focus.

Heartbreaking

After Jake shot her her body moved so he repositioned the baby close to her breast. But the baby was not suckling when they found them.

That’s the saddest part for me 😭😭😭

He said he moved her body after he shot her, so that the baby could breastfeed. Not sure how that works when the mother is dead.

@@TawnyC_ that’s so fucking gross man. super freakin sad

😥😭😢

You should not speculate

grow up. that's nothing in this realm.

@@fuckRU-vidBringBackDislikes cringe reply

Atleast it won’t remember

They are to low iq to realize that they are not like me and you

I think in these cases its more about power and control than the actual child.. Maybe that makes it even more sad.😔

Why do you think these murderers are thinking straight ? None of it makes sense , so you can’t make it make sense unfortunately

Yes

Follow the trial too.its all there.

What is the evidence that leads to arrest them ?

⌛ 🤔🤨🤯>😳=🥺 🏛🚔🏛🚔🏛🚔

Law and Crime and WCPO 9 are covering the George Wagner IV trial right now

But her mom Hannah loved her that much. She was a true mama bear not wanting her with this evil family & would rather be dead.💜🙏💜 She needs therapy now bc she would act out being with Wagners. Still can hear her crying for MOMMY!

@@bestboy138 The little girl is innocent in the whole thing. She didn't ask to be born into the family. But the mom was trying to protect her daughter and not let her be around these people. It's nobodys fault but the PEOPLE WHO ACTIVELY MURDERED the others. Not the baby. 😒😒🙄🙄

@@bestboy138 sad troll, man. Sad troll.

@@bestboy138 Just like it's your fault your Mom and Dad (who ironically are also your Aunt and Uncle), gave birth to an Alien looking baby with one eye, three legs and a hump. Then your Dad/Uncle went out to get some milk and you haven't seen him since.

And the little baby that was either in the bed when her mom/parents were murdered or placed there by her/them afterwards...imagine when that baby learns that part...

the wrong family got massacred if you ask me

Cool

True!!! Grateful

What's that on your nose?

No.

@@cosmosadorabilis7677 u didnt like the video?

700k a year sweetie, good money

Thank you for that update. 😘

The Wagners were all perfectly and sanely aware of what they were about to commit. They are not crazy. They are ABSOLUTE EVIL INCARNATE 👹

That hurt my heart. Something about a grown man crying kills me.

Me too. They were obviously close.

It was 2 relatives who found them. A guy and his wife.

That clip really got to me also. Seeing the trauma and pain while trying to testify is just heartbreaking.

Donald Stone I think is his name.

alot of citizens think the local sheriff was deeply involved. he stole money to pay gambling debts

the wrong family got massacred if you ask me

@@billtribble7197 both bill Wagner and Kenneth rhoden were involved in a big pot growing operation. Bet the sheriff was on the take receiving some of profits so he would turn a blind eye to that illegal pot growing operation. I have heard about the cornbread mafia being active in northeast Tennessee in the tri cities area.

It's a matter of culture. I'm not kidding. Clan Blood Feuds are rare but when its on there is usually nobody spared. The most-famous one in American History was the Hatfields &,McCoys in the 1800s - they basically turned the peaceful mountainside into an early form of guerilla warfare. The Clan system (the patriarch presents a big decision, everyone says their piece, then everyone - traditionally the males - vote) is an extremely unique culture. It's basically what the Irish and Scottish were on prior to the Feudal Family system (Patriarch makes all the decisions and the children and mother are expected to obey until they build their own family). When I mean "prior to" I mean that the English directly recognized the Clan systems as being the reason they could not fully control the regions. They literally went hill by hill and hall by hall to evict, deport, or kill anyone there. There were no more rebellions from the Scottish or the Irish (until the formation of the IRA and the Sinn Fein nationalist movement).

I agree with you 💯

Facts.

Agreed

Yes absolutely however Sophia needs to be made aware of that fact as she grows up. She is going to need counseling to deal with the events surrounding the death of her mother and family, at the hand of her father's family.

Statistically more women do this type of crime than men. Just saying, it goes both ways.

Was there evidence of the custody battle or phone/text/electronic records that might show motive? They slaughtered anyone in her family that may directly or indirectly be granted or petition for custody of the baby. Thats beyond a reasonable doubt for me at least (Still in the intro ads of the video as I type, so if they address it in this vid, my bad)

No it wasn't. They're a bunch of retarded hillbilly trash. The dumb hillbillies ultimately got caught.

🙏🏻

using the murder weapons for target practice was not great planning

yeah, pretty fucking stupid, huh? Let The Mexican Cartel take the blame so we can create more divide in the country? Wake up!

They forgot about that part 😭

Lots of stuff shouldn’t be how it is but, ya know, people suck

Just another example of why having babies outside of wedlock is a horrible thing to do. Not only do you end up with single m0thers raising tons of dysfunctional children it causes tons of issues between parents. It is insanely selfish and bad all around for the child.

Which is why teenage morons should not have kids. Get married, be over 25, and pass some basic goddamn psychiatric tests! THEN have children.

@@TheRationalist. There was a time that I thought differently about that but with age and time, I have found that in MOST cases...that's correct.

Been watching true crime for a while and shout to those 3 guys thank you for shining light upon them

So Angela could have control over Sofia. She never thought what was best for the kids just for herself. Look how her 2 sons turned out.

Imagine knowing that you were at a crime scene, while all around you were murdered. Sofia's little sister, was 4 days old and was the baby in bed with Hannah, when she was shot, Jake repositioned Hannah's dead body, so the baby could continue to feed. And how awful for Frankie and Hannah's child, in bed with them, when they were executed!! Terrible for all children . I don't know if Frankie's other child was actually in the room. It said he was sleeping on the floor, so I am guessing he was. Still asleep at the time.

@@kenn1936 he was asleep on the living room couch 😔😔 I think he had the most trauma of all the kids because he was aware that something was wrong. Poor guy, I hope he grows up with no memory of it

Apples rarely fall far from the tree

Sure blame the drugs and not the "victims" 🖕

I think the mother who wanted the child came up with the plan and the dumb males all went along with it.

True

don't underestimate people from these areas, they may not be book smart, but they are certainly street wise and cunning. I know, as I'm from a similar area.

@@Xenotypal Cunning? Yes. Wise? Absolutely not in their case

@@colesmith7509 well, i meant more like street wise. there are some old folks with practical wisdom though. really, the point is that you can't underestimate hicks just because they aint got no book learnins obviously at the end of the day i realize they weren't wise in the normal sense of the word. Wise? no. Street wise? very.

You can afford ID?!!😆 GAWD, I wish I could lol!!😊

@@ktcooki276 can I? Yes. Do i want to? Nahhhh lol i get it on discovery plus….i this the one who carries it to stream. Screw cable or satellite bills! Plus I did really mean what I said here…you can watch ID 24/7 and it will suck for 23 straight hours until one good show comes on or you can just watch this. I choose the option that isn’t like paying a whole damn extra mortgage or car lease every month 😬🤣

the wrong family got massacred if you ask me

Oh goodness yes the sister and her bf killed them all then waited on her brother his wife and kids. So senseless so sad

This is why I don't mind not having kids.

This story reminded me of that too. I don't live far from Carnation..

The entire world is diagnosing narcissism on every criminal. American pop psychology is getting tedious.

Great comment

I know! That poor newborn trying to nurse from its dead mommy. Just awful.

This ppl disgust me so much. When the story first came out I was like no cartel would do this, this had to be personal. My heart goes out to the kids, I lost my mom 2 yrs ago because of cancer and I’m still grieving, imagine this babies so little without mommy. Just breaks my heart😢 I pray they grow to have healthy lives and recover from this with therapy and much love from the family.

@@Andreamom001 That hurt to the core.

@@KDiamond666 Umm a drug cartel would definitely do this. They will either kill everyone including the children and pets OR they will spare the other children. That's what the other family was counting on and it worked for a while.

@@KDiamond666 ive seen the cartel kill and torture whole families it is incomparable to a random spree killing

I am so sorry you have been going through this. The trial has been horrific. I hope your community finds peace.

it is such a beautiful place and look so peaceful. Pity some evil people spoil everything luckily they were caught.

I live in Cincinnati a few counties west and I was armed once I heard it. It rocked The entire area for sure!!

Many years ago I lived where a serial killer was active for a few years. It's one thing to read about this kind of situation. It's a whole other thing to have it happen around you. It leaves you with a terrible feeling that the world is not safe. It takes time to get that peace back again.

@@exiled-2010 the sheriff office was even telling people in the area to arm themselves. I was visiting family in Portsmouth when this happened. So sad😢

There should never be that many hursts at one time😢… I also live a couple counties away.. Warren

Guys it's hearse

@@darknesskingsized8996 thx😊

@@darknesskingsized8996 oops

They couldn't cover the story when the active investigation was going on. Right now George Wagner IV is on trial on youtube Law and crime and wcpo 9 you can see all the evidence there this week we should see how BCI actually did their investigation and how they found the weapons and linked it all

The narrator name is the Raven

This is the raven as well ? I thought he only did explore with us ?

@@brianalaundrie6192 omg I thought your name said Brian laundrie at first lol

I'm pretty sure Russell Archey is the ravon look it up he has a youtube video on here somewhere I believe this is someone different I could be wrong though

@@THATDAMSPORTSHOW I don’t think it’s him, I took a quick listen and didn’t hear anything similar..

They could have just sued for joint custody! Ohio likes both parents to be involved

That was my thought. They murdered all of those people and then just went on like nothing happened. They are truly psychopaths. I hope they have nightmares of crying babies every night.

I saw it in many channels long time ago

I live in Ohio & I knew at the time with the number of defendants it would take the prosecutors longer than usual & then Covid slowed down the trials. The trials are on RU-vid. The man who found his family members, oh my, so hard to listen to his testimony.

@@saradavis6505 I am from Ohio too! I hope one day they make a docu on Netflix or something similar. With all the people involved & a script Hollywood couldn't even dream up, hell, it could easily be 10 episodes or more!! They really went over the top with their scheming & dreaming. Still blows my mind that the Wagner's thought they could get away with it, but that's what you get with a family full of Sociopaths.

​@@pisces_chick2511 Do you really think Hollyweird could make an accurate movie about this? They would be sure to make it entertaining so as to rake in the 💰💰💰💰

@@dixonbidenzmouth4115 My point is Hollywood would never do it justice. You know the saying, The truth is stranger than fiction?

Don’t forget about the other half of victims . The men. My nightmare is also similar , except society has more trouble seeing he women like this , and they may do more damage to the children

‘It’s not often that a murder case around here actually comes to a close’ - This statement is just simply not true.

​@S G I am from Portsmouth Ohio and there's so many missing persons cases there unsolved that I can't remember them all. Of course some murders get solved but many don't and that is the truth.

It's way to personal for any business related stuff. You don't shoot them 8x in the head when its not personal.

Every one that knew any the rhodens expected it to be over drugs aswell because they had been stepping on toes they shouldn’t have because they thought they were invincible

Yup, unfortunately it’s the mindset “if I can’t have them, no one can”

Yeh i know & the same goes for dudes that kill some guy because he’s jealous about his girlfriend or ex or whatever?. It’s like well now you killed a guy & your gonna be in prison for life, well now she’s gonna move on & find a new guy whilst you die in prison 😳 so it was basically pointless doing what you did..

It's called, " Stuck on stupid. ".

I guess they either think they won't get caught or they don't care

Irony is the kid wasn’t even the guys, DNA proved otherwise. So 8 lives lost for nothing. Kinda hits home considering, I live a towns length away

🤷‍♂️

I think I saw this family in a Rob Zombie movie

Undercover & etc should be opted out but not killers. Frustrating to not hear Jake but learn how he defends his mom who taught him control & abuse not LOVE. Sons dont know how love feels just control. Angela never gave her boys a chance of happiness but I hear Jake was so cold on the stand. Sofia wouldve been better with a loving family & I wonder if they killed bc of witnesses or they could get custody.

@@spicyirwin5835 Usually a man doesn’t want the woman to have the child because he doesn’t want to pay child support

It wasn't about the baby, it never is, it's about the control they wanted over her mother

That is something that had always puzzled me about these types of cases as well, I mean did they honestly think that after murdering 8 people that they would actually get custody of the child? Are they really that cut off from reality, or just stupid? You’re gonna either get the chair or spend the rest of your life behind bars, you will never see your child again you absolute moron

Kinda like the Hatfield's & McCoy's... js'in

Its not love its control.

Also, the older adults ruined the life of their younger son, Jake. Not that he bore no responsibility, but his older family members bear even more responsibility, and they had already lived most of their adult lives in freedom. His entire adulthood will be spent incarcerated. They accomplished nothing but devastation.

@@Reudze Yes, I agree. She wasn't a child, she was a possession. Sad.

I lived in pike county/waverly and knew the Rhodens… Chris jr was my brothers friend and my brothers now wife was next door neighbors and my sister in laws dad was friends with Chris Sr

"Siri, give me every negative white trash stereotype in one so-called 'family'..."

Exactly!!! Don't see where it's right. Everyone else was ok to be seen live but these 2 don't wanna show thier faces for everyone to see what low life's they are but everyone knows what they are.

Are you aware of what a plea deal is and how it can successfully effect the outcome of the case? It's almost a guarantee that nobody walks over "technicalities".

Children bring out very strong emotions..hopefully you are never put in that position, or if you are can learn to forgive. it can take 3 years or more

@@tmak4699 I have great grand children, have children from four women, and two legit wives. I would never try to take a child from their mother, I still had good relations, I just let them be with their mom, when they got old enough they came to me,..no need to murder over them.
