<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the piked to Massacre a production of iHeartRadio

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and Katie Studios Episode eight, Truth Be Revealed. Over the

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>course of seven episodes, we have examined the details of

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the murders of eight members of the Roden family, the

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>investigation that was launched in their wake, and what led

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>up to the arrests of six members of the Wagner family.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Now we're going to look at where the case stands

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>and what lies ahead next week's episode, Burning Questions. I'm

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Courtney Armstrong, a television producer at Katie Studios with Stephanie

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Ledecker and Jeff Shane. When we left off last week,

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it was June twenty six, twenty nineteen, and Frederica Wagner

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was in the defendant's chair in a Pike County courtroom.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>She was facing charges of obstruction of justice and perjury

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and connection with the Roden murders. Here's Frederica's niece, Derey,

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>defending her aunt's claims. First, the prosecutors falsely believed the

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>bulletproof best were purchased before the road and homicides. Both

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sides know that it is not true. They were in

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>fact purchased on May the seventh, twenty and sixteen, fifteen

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>days after the day of the homicides. So that's proven.

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>We know that there's like receipts, right, yep, got receipt Scott.

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>We have everything. Second, she guessed and thought that she

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>bought them from Amazon. Now why they made a big

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>deal about what what origin? They came off the internet?

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>She ordered him off the internet. Whenever you go on

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the Internet, a bunch of places come up. Usually Amazon

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>is the first thing that comes up. She did that

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but they made a big deal about it.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>So they went back through her books and they found

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>out that she did buy them, but it wasn't from Amazon.

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>It was eBay. But criminal defense attorney Mike Allen told

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Jeff that Frederica State are a much bigger deal than

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>deray things. Well, obviously, when you have a situation like

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>this and someone involved with the people that are charged

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>makes a purchase of two bulletproof fast, whether it's from

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>eBay or Amazon, it's something that the prosecution would be

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 1>interested in. And you know, she apparently was before the

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>grand jury when she misrepresented, if you will, where she

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>bought these things from. And it's relevant and also too,

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it would be fair to say that the

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>prosecution probably wanted this put on it, these charges put

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>on her to have a little bit of leverage with

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>her too. Do you think that her explanation of just saying, oh,

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember, I got it confused as an attorney,

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>do you think that makes someone look more guilty? Yeah,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it does, especially something like this. And I know she's elderly,

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>but boy, she should certainly seems like she's pretty sharp.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's a rather big event. In most people's lives,

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>if they purchased bulletproof vest online or anyway you purchased them,

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that you would think that you would remember where you

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>purchased them from. So yeah, it doesn't make her look

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>good at all. Ultimately, Frederico Wagner's lawyer filed receipts that

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>proved she made the purchases fifteen days after the slayings.

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>This led the defense team to turn over potential evidence

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>as required to the prosecution, too late to meet the

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>criteria for a speedy trial. They dismissed the charges against

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Frederico Wagner, while reserving the right to charge her again.

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike Allen broke down what all this means with respect

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to the Ohio Speedy trial statute. It's generally you have

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to bring a felony case within two hundred and seventy

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>days from the indictment. I think the prosecution was running

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>out of time, so strategically, I think they decided to

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>dismiss it with the option and the right to refile

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it again if that becomes necessary, so she could get

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>charged with the same crimes again. Oh yeah, they were

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>dismissed without prejudice, which means that the state can refile

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>them at a later date. But it seems that Frederico

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Wagner doesn't foresee that happening. Here. She is speaking to

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the press after the hearing. Trust in the Lord with

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>all your heart, lean not to your own understanding, in

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>all your ways. Acknowledge Him and he will direct your path.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And as my attorney will tell you, it was dismissed

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 1>because I was innocent. They had no evidence against me.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I never lied about anything. Frederico Wagner's freedom validates what

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Deray has believed all along. She has never in her

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:49.359
<v Speaker 1>life done anything wrong. She's not capable of it. And

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, if she thought that her kids would have

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>done something bad, she would have recommended that they turned

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>themselves in for anything. I mean she she lives by

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>what she says she lives by, which is what well.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>She gives all the glory to God. Angela, Billy Jake,

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and George Wagner were charged with aggravated murder. Angela Wagner's mother,

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Rita Joe Nukam, and Billy Wagner's mother, Frederica were both

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.559
<v Speaker 1>charged with obstruction of justice and perjury. Nucombe was also

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>charged with forgery. All six of them pled not guilty,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and our justice system presumes innocence until guilt is proven.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But one thing that doesn't help Frederica Wagner's case is

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a revelation by the prosecution at a pre trial hearing

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>for her son Billy in twenty twenty, The States submitted

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>evidence showing that the night before Frederica testified before the

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>grand jury in twenty eighteen, she had searched the Internet

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for information about penalties for perjury. Here's our anonymous Wagner

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>family relative. She shared her thoughts with Jeff. Do you

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>think that his mom, Billy's mom, Frederica, Do you think

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>she had any involvement? I believe that I believe she

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>could have. Yet I believe that she definitely. Uh. I

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>don't believe she try to stop it, you know, I

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>don't believe that she. I believe it's anything she probably

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>definitely she would have encouraged it and her story should

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>do what he did. Others like Roden family friend Stefane,

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>thinks that Frederico wasn't just involved in the murders, but

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>could possibly have orchestrated the whole thing. I don't take

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>her for a dumb woman at all. She's a businesswoman.

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>She's probably shrewd. She's the head the monarch, you know,

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>so the monarch is usually the one that that has

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>their thumb on everybody. She wanted to control over everything,

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>seems to me. Like to investigative journalist Jodi Barr, the

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>alleged involvement of Frederico Wagner up ends convened of who

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>actually could be capable of being involved in murder. I

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>think this case, if it ended today as it is alleged,

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is anybody on this planet that

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>could look at those people and say, those people look

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>like a family who could swatter eight human beings if

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you ever thought you knew what a mass murderer looked like.

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I think this case in Pike County is showing you

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you have no idea. So here we are four years later.

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Two of the six defendants are free and four others

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>are in prison facing death penalty charges, accused of killing

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>eight members of the Roden family. Here's Stephanie, followed by Jeff.

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>As it stands now, the trials for Billy, Angela, Jake,

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and George Wagner are slated to begin in the next

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>few months. Now. To really understand this case and where

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>it stands in what's to come, we'll have to examine

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 1>some of the most important points. In the five thousand

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>pages of discovery documents that list the prosecution's evidence. There

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>are more than three written thirty two thousand files of

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>evidence in this case. One of the exhibits in the

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>prosecution's arsenal is related to Billy Wagner in his copy

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of the nineteen ninety nine movie The Boondock Saints. The

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>film is about two brothers in Boston who exact a

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>form of vigilanty justice by murdering mobsters and other criminals.

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It's extremely violent and over the top, but the big

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>takeaway for this case is that the brothers in the

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>film use silencers. On their guns, a method that members

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Wagner family are accused of using to execute

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rodents. As we covered in the last episode, a

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>homemade silencer was discovered at a farm once owned by

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Jake and George Wagner, but Deray thinks the connection is

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>tenuous at best. I read deck and I had to laugh.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I had to laugh so hard. Okay, so you have

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to remember that this was a very organized, brilliantly done execution.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.359
<v Speaker 1>This is something that you wouldn't learn on a DVD.

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Somebody with military background, Navy seals. I mean, whoever did

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>it was was brilliant. They're professional. These people are not

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:25.319
<v Speaker 1>professional killers. Mike Gallant told Jeff that the DVD could

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>be a building block in the state's case. You can't

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 1>watch a movie and learn how to wipe out an

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>entire family. That seems like a stretch. What is your

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>take on that. Yeah, I don't think they could introduce

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it for the proposition that that's how the Wagner's learned

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.119
<v Speaker 1>how to do that. I think if the state introduced

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>it or attempted to get it introduced, it would just

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>be kind of peripheral to like, hey, you know, somebody

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 1>in that family watched that movie or ordered that movie,

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>or bought that movie, and it's a movie about vigilante justice.

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>But I would certainly cry at least because apparently in

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>this case, the allegation is silencers were used, and they

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>were used in that movie as well, So it would

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>be one piece of evidence that they could add on

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to other evidence. It would be a piece of evidence

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.440
<v Speaker 1>if admitted that they could talk about in closing arguments. So,

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>while not determinative in any way, shape or form, it

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>is evidence that could be helpful to the state. There's

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a mountain of other evidence the prosecution plans on using.

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>One that stands out is an Excel spreadsheet that contains

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and nineteen entries of messages about child custody.

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I spoke with my Gallon about it. Another piece of

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>evidence that's been talked about are these Excel spreadsheets. Apparently

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>they had hundreds of entries of cataloging the messages about

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 1>child custody and Facebook screenshots regarding it, what does that

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 1>tell you, Well, it tells me that could be part

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of the motive in this case. And it's pretty strong

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>evidence of motive if they're keeping all these things and screenshots,

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and it seems that they were kind of obsessed with

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>his desire to get custody and control. That would be circumstantial,

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>but circumstantial evidence sometimes can be very strong evidence. Just

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>because evidence is circumstantial doesn't mean that it's not good

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>evidence and strong evidence. But you know, it's like you're

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>dropping pebbles into a pond. Every little pebble makes a ripple,

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you build on those things and at

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, at the prosecution does it right.

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Every little bit helps with respect to building a case.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>The discovery documents also include information about a person that

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>some speculate could be an informant. Jodie Barr told us

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.199
<v Speaker 1>about trying to track down this source. The name of

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the informant has not been published, which is why it's

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>bleeped in his interview. The only thing I know is

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>that was a name given very early on who I

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>was told did business with Chris Rodin. I was never

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>able to even find that this person exists. I guess

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they did. This person really does exist. But when I

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>was given a list of names of people who could

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>have potentially either been involved in this, knew about this.

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>This is one person I tried to track down and

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>find over in Sciota County, which is just across the

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>line from Pike, and I was never able to find

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>this person. But I was told that this person knew

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Senior intimately as far as you know, they were

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>together a lot, and they were in some business ventures together.

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>But again I was never able to find this person

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>or to verify anything that was ever told me about them.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors for the case claim another confidential informant told them

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>of a specific meeting at Frederico Wagner's home. It occurred

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 1>with the other accused family members and allegedly include to

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>talk of quote taking revenge on a special agent then

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General Mike Dawine, and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader.

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>The revenge was allegedly planned if her family was arrested.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Jodie Barr dissected these claims with Jeff. It just seems

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>so careless that the people accused of this would be

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>bringing outsiders into a home, although we don't know who

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the confidential informant is, but that they would risk getting

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>caught if they were so skillful in pulling this off

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that they would bring outsiders in to have discussions like

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>this where they're number one admitting it essentially, but secularly,

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about taking hits out on the chief law

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>enforcer in Pike County and the chief law enforce for

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the state of Ohio. But that's an interesting point that

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really compute that if they were like ninjas

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and they could do this of elaborate crime, why would

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>they be so sloppy then to have these conversations with

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 1>other people. When I see confidential informant in this sentence

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>meant a part of he goes. I wonder if one

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Wagoners has rolled over and is helping this

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>investigation still something I know there have been some plea

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>deals already made here, some charges dismissed. But you've got

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to wonder who is this informant because if it's a

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>member of the Wagner family, and I think that's a

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>twist no one saw coming. Let's stop here for a

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>quick commercial break. We'll be back in a moment. Like

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>many of us, you might think identity theft will never

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>happen to you, but consider this. There's a new identity

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>theft victim every three seconds in the US. That's over

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million people by the end of this year equal

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to the populations of New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago combined.

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Even worse, identity theft victims often don't even know they're victims.

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>That's why LifeLock Identity theft protection help to identify threats,

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 1>even the ones that don't show up on a credit report,

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like data breaches, fraudulent bank transactions, loan in credit card applications,

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and crimes committed in your name. If your identity is stolen,

<v Speaker 1>nine hundred and eighteen pages related to DNA evidence. Mike

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Allen spoke to us about the role DNA could play

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>in the case. I can tell you from dealing with

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>DNA evidence both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney.

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.120
<v Speaker 1>That's not good news for the defense If they've got

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 1>almost three thousand pages of DNA evidence, evidence that would

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>have been sent to the lab and comes back, they've

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>got to have something. I mean, I would be shocked

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.959
<v Speaker 1>if they didn't have some credible DNA evidence against at

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>least one of these defendants, probably more of them. That's

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>bad news for the defense. There's just no way of

0:20:55.119 --> 0:21:00.399
<v Speaker 1>getting around it. Because DNA evidence, if extracted proper and

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:05.640
<v Speaker 1>analyze properly, it's pretty much lights out if they did

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>it correctly. So I think that's problematic for the defense.

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Here's Stephanie, followed by Jeff. In addition, the report also

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>lists one thousand, one hundred and seventy crime scene photos,

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>cyber forensic reports of the Wagners, their cell phones and

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>their computers, and hundreds of pages citing reference to the

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>recovery of firearms and ballistic testing. In fact, at the

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 1>pre trial hearing for George Wagner just a few weeks ago,

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.360
<v Speaker 1>we got a glimpse into some of the evidence they have.

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>So this hearing was for emotion. The defense was making

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to get George Wagner, the eldest son, released from prison

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>on bond. In response, the prosecution laid out some of

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the evidence they have against George Wagner, basically as an

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>argument to keep George behind bars. One of the lead

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>detectives on the case testified that he and his team

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>have real ballistic evidence connecting firearms used in the homicides

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 1>with guns believed to be owned by the Wagners, including

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a twenty two caliber long rifle, a forty caliber handgun,

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and a thirty caliber gun. Prosecutors also pointed to evidence

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that shoeprints from the exact same shoes purchased at Walmart

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 1>by the Wagners to allegedly frame Dana Rodin's brother, you remember,

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>James Manley, were found in dried blood at two of

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the crime scenes, and yet this in fact receipts for

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>those exact same shoes. There are a very specific Walmart

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>athletic shoe were found during a search of the Wagner

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>property in twenty sixteen. There are also over eight thousand

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>recorded statements from interviews with George Wagner who claimed there

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>really was no issue regarding custody between Jake Wagner and

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Hannah Rowdin over their daughter Sophia, and that we know

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 1>is just not true. Right, So, with all of this

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:53.959
<v Speaker 1>the Wagners still continue to declare their innocence. Is it

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 1>really possible that they did? In facts have nothing to

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>do with it. Well. Recently, one of the Wagner's lawyers

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>made statements to the US saying that a loose custody

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>arrangement between Jake Wagner and Hannah further daughter Sophia was

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>being formalized by another attorney in Ohio at the time

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of the killings, but due to the fact that Hannah

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 1>was murdered, the agreement was never formalized, so it's not

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:17.440
<v Speaker 1>permissible in court. I spoke with Deray about her second cousin,

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Jake Wagner, to see if we could get any more

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 1>information on the custody arrangement between him and Hannah Rodan,

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>do you know anything about like they were trying to

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>get custody of Sophia before the murders. I don't know

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 1>anything about that, Okay, Yeah, I was just curious, Yeah,

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>because you hear a lot about that. Yeah, I never heard,

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I talked to my aunt a lot that

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>was never mentioned. So do you think that that is

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 1>fabricated as well? If I'm hearing you right, I don't

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>believe that it has anything to do with it. I

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>don't believe there was a custody battle. I think that's

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 1>another made up lie. What makes you say that because

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I never heard anything about it. I mean, somebody did it,

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>but we don't know who, and we are for sure

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't the Wagner family. It's a tragedy. And most

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>of the people that I talked to, they're all thinking

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it's drug related, something that had to do with drug trafficking.

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>We don't know. It's who knows. It's a mystery. We

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>found it strange for a woman who covers her family's

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.360
<v Speaker 1>case closely not to know anything about the custody issues

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that other family relatives disclose to us before. Even stranger

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is something else that was presented at George Wagner's most

0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>recent pre trial hearing Again He's the eldest son. Prosecutors

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>pointed to a screenshot of a message from Hannah Rodin

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.199
<v Speaker 1>to one of her friends. In this message, she's discussing

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the Wagner's attempt to force her to sign forged custody documents,

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the ones that we've talked about in previous episodes. Now

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>get this. The screenshot was found on the Wagner family

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>computer seized during the investigation, and again allegedly the Wagner's

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>got it by hacking into Hannah wrote In's Facebook account,

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the message is nothing short of chilling. It reads and

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I quote, I won't sign papers. Ever, it won't happen.

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll have to kill me first. It does seem clear

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.439
<v Speaker 1>that the Wagners were sort of obsessed with custody and

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.439
<v Speaker 1>control of Sophia, and in speaking with people close to

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the family, this actually wasn't the first time custody became

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>an issue. Christina Howard's sister, Tabby, was married to George

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Wagner for several years. The two had a son together,

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 1>but eventually split up. According to Christina, following their divorce,

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the Wagner family tried to force Tabby into handing over

0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 1>custody of their son. This is Christina's recollection of events.

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 1>She spoke to Jeff about it. Somehow or another angela

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 1>like manipulated her with different papers to sign and stuff,

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and they had Tabby finding over the rights and custody

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 1>to George. You know, they had money for expensive lawyer,

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 1>and Tabby did in and so they had custody plumb

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.159
<v Speaker 1>up until you know, they got caught and stuff for

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the crimes. Do you think that she was obsessed with

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>having custody of all of her grandkids? Oh? Yeah, definitely.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Why do you say that? Tabby Like whenever she would

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>try to reach out to George, like hey, can I

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>come visit my son? And Angela would get on there

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, he's not your son anymore. Would

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>tell Tabby like, oh, you mighty gave virtul him, but

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm his real mother because I take care of em,

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and all these just nasty things. And Christina told us

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that in the aftermath of Tabby and George's custody battle,

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Hannah rode In contacted Tabby for advice and how to

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>deal with their own custody issues with the Wagner's. I

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:06.640
<v Speaker 1>knew that Hannah was struggling to keep custody of Sophia

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>because she went to her and my sister were pretty close,

0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, Tabby straight up told her, like, a,

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>if they present you with papers, do not sign them.

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Give them to a lawyer first. Let the lawyer read

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it over and proceed from there, because they will try

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to steal custody of Sophia. Even if they're trying to

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>act like they're understanding and all of the swords. Do

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>not listen to them because they will strew you over.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Christina's account of George Wagner and Tabby's dispute, in addition

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to everything we've heard about Jake Wagner and Hannah Rodin,

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 1>clearly lays out a pattern of deceit and control when

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to custody. But when Jeff asked de Ray

0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>about George and Tabby's custody battle, she soundly refuted Christina's claims.

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I want your side of this. People say that, like

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.959
<v Speaker 1>George had a custody situation where he tried to get

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>custody of his son Jake, maybe a similar situation. People

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>are saying that, like Angela was just obsessed with getting

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the kids and wanted all the control of the children. Yeah.

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that. I don't believe that. I know

0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:25.760
<v Speaker 1>she loved him, but I don't believe she was obsessed.

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>I think she was a normal grandmother and then she

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>was an excellent role model. Well, we don't know all

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the details of George Wagner and Tabby's custody case. There

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>is evidence that the Wagners did deceive Hannah Rodin by

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to convince her to sign fake custody documents. Here's Stephanie,

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 1>followed by Jeff. It seems being locked up in prison

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>hasn't even stopped the Wagners for one second from trying

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to manipulate those closest to them. As we discussed earlier

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in September of twenty nineteen, Angela Wagner tried to discuss

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>case strategy even influences testimony from prison. Prosecutors also claim

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that Angela Wagner called her mother Rita Newcome. She's the

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 1>one that's accused of forging those custody documents. She called

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 1>her several times and basically asked her not to testify

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>against the family, and also told her how to explain

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>away the custody documents that she's accused of forging. As

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a punishment, a judge suspended Angela Wagner's in jail phone

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and mail privileges. Mike Allen told us that this is

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>just another blow for the defense. Any criminal defense attorney

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that is doing their job, and I'm sure every one

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of these criminal defense attorneys are doing their job, they

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>tell their client from day one, do not under any

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 1>circumstances discuss the case on the phone. Because you can

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>guarantee that the conversations are being taped, Prosecutors can use

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>those conversations if the person is talking about strategy, make

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>some kind of admission, intimidates witnesses, the recording doesn't lie,

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and that could end up to be some pretty strong

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>evidence against her at the end of the day. George

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Wagner has also raised eyebrows for an odd request he

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>made after five months in prison, he has to be

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>transferred from general population to solitary confinement. Usually, solitary confinement

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 1>is given to a prisoner who either is a threat

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to other prisoners or who may be in danger in

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the general population. Mike Allen told us that George had

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>a different reason. His stated reason was that he wanted

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to be able to study the Bible in peace. That's

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a little unusual when inmates ask for solitary A lot

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.719
<v Speaker 1>of times, although they may not say it, they're asking

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.719
<v Speaker 1>for that because they've been threatened, and you know, they

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that they're as safe as they

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 1>can be in jail. But when I read that, I

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of wondered, is that the real reason? I mean,

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you just have to wonder what the motivation is.

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>So how does all this evidence end up? How strong

0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>is the state's case against Billy, Angela Jake and George Wagner.

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm a criminal defense attorney. I used to be a prosecutor,

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and as a criminal defense attorney, you know you never

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>say never as far as you know your chances in

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>front of a jury. Having said that, the evidence sure

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 1>seems strong, and we don't know all the evidence. All

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>we know is what's public. So the old adage that

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich is true. But

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>smart prosecutors don't indict cases that they don't think they

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:43.959
<v Speaker 1>can win beyond a reasonable doubt. And I think Mike Dwine,

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>who was in the driver's seat in this thing, there's

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>no way he would have indicted this if he didn't

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>think he could prove it, or ultimately someone could prove it.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the day, let's stop here for

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.640

<v Speaker 1>left out a lot of the people. The American West

0:34:58.400 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>is far more different, far more diverse. He would say,

<v Speaker 1>We've been covering this case for over two years, and

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 1>in that time we've examined not only the details of

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the eight murders themselves, but the multiple theories that have

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:55.240
<v Speaker 1>surrounded them. We looked into the speculation of a drug connection.

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Discoveries of the murder scenes are now advancing the theory

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.800
<v Speaker 1>killings could be related to a drug cartel. The Rodents

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 1>had a pretty sizable crop of marijuana plants on their property,

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.720
<v Speaker 1>so you know, there were indications that they were involved

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in some drug deals and drug trade with marijuana. We

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:15.760
<v Speaker 1>explored the rumors of smalltown revenge. There had been reports

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of scuple with other people in public in his message

0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's talking about I'm going to break his fucking

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>legs and curb stop his ass. We also investigated a

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>series of eerily similar killings. We have had a double homicide,

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>four children left alive. This is very similar to the

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Rodent case. And we had heard that there were other

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>people who were shot Nolan I execution style in their homes.

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>And when you're looking at the Rodent case and then

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you see these other cases in a county that small,

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.839
<v Speaker 1>you start asking yourself, what the hell is going on.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.840
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make sense that this is happening there unless

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>there is some sort of common denominator. But in the end,

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it was some of the people who were closest to

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the Rodents that were arrested for orchestrating the brutal, cold

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 1>plotted massacre at the center of this case, or members

0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the Wagner family whom we believe the avalanche will show,

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>conspired together to kill these ape As we struggled to

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>make sense of the crimes, we've listened to the impassioned

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:19.280
<v Speaker 1>arguments of family members who insist that their relatives are innocent.

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Our family joke is that there's no way that Betty

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Crocker and the Dobe Boys could ever go to an

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 1>extreme of murder. Somebody did it, but it wasn't. Now

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.319
<v Speaker 1>we've heard first person accounts from relatives that support the

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:40.320
<v Speaker 1>primary motive in this case, Hannah and Jake with the

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>little girl. There was a custody battle and Hannah wasn't

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 1>allowing Jake to see her, and it just set him

0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 1>off to the point where Jake he had made the comments,

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know that he was going to kill her. But

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>there are some who are simply torn. Ers were arrested,

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 1>You had your fifty fifty. You had people that said, yes,

0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I knew that they did that, and then you've got

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 1>people that say, there's no way those people did that.

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody would believe that, you know, a

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 1>family could have put together such a tactical hit on

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:22.200
<v Speaker 1>another family that they had created life with. It's still

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 1>too difficult to accept and too hard to believe. Many

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Pikedon area believe there is no doubt that

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the Wagoners plotted this horrific killing spree. People wanted to

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>paint the sort of few between the Rodents and Wagoners,

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and something like the hatfields of McCoys. Doesn't make sense

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to me if they are innocent, because who else would

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 1>do that. Whether the Wagoners are innocent or guilty doesn't

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>change the fact that the lives of eight members of

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a revered local family, the Rodents, were taken on April

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty second, twenty sixteen. Dana Roden, thirty seven year old mother,

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a grandmother and nurse living in her brand new home.

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rodin, forty year old, loving father and grandfather. Dana

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and Chris's oldest son, twenty year old Frankie Roden, Frankie's fiance,

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:14.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty year old Hannah Gilly, who was in bed with

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 1>their six month old baby, Frankie Roden's three year old son,

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 1>both of whom were spared. Hannahme Roden, nineteen year old

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 1>mother to two year old Sophia and her five day

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:31.280
<v Speaker 1>old newborn Kylie, also spared. Dana and Chris's youngest child,

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>sixteen year old Chris Junior, who had just gotten his

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 1>driver's license, Chris Senior's older brother, forty four year old

0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Roden, father of three, and his cousin, thirty eight

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 1>year old Gary Roden, who was staying with Chris Senior

0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that night. It is horrible to this day and Dana

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:57.279
<v Speaker 1>and her family will never never get to celebrate birthdays,

0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and have parties and get togethers and barbecues

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. It's it's terrible. It just really

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>hurts my heart. In all this, it's sometimes easy to

0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:17.799
<v Speaker 1>forget those whose lives were spared that faithful night, but

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>who lost everything in the process. The road in children,

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it's two families really have been destroyed, and at the

0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 1>center of that tragedy is you know, are these kids

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:32.239
<v Speaker 1>whose families are torn apart and lost. Sofia is the

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:35.359
<v Speaker 1>one that is losing the most at this point in

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:39.760
<v Speaker 1>her life because she's lost her mom's side of the family,

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>she's lost her father's side of the family, and she

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is in child protective custody where no one knows where

0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:51.720
<v Speaker 1>she is. She has lost on both sides. She's lost

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:55.840
<v Speaker 1>both of her families. Because it's supposed to be happy

0:40:55.920 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 1>for her. This is her childhood. The tragic legacy of

0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the road and murders continues to loom over the town

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 1>of Pyton, Ohio. You know, whatever happened that morning on

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Union Hill Road, you know it impacted a lot more

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:15.359
<v Speaker 1>than just those people who were killed. I mean, you've

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 1>got their family members, and you've got people in that

0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 1>area are going to remember this forever. This has never

0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 1>going away. My family was a part of this horrible,

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean just absolutely awful act. You know that they

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:38.240
<v Speaker 1>destroying this other family completely. They have changed the family's

0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>life for the rest of their life. So but then

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm like, well, you know ours has changed

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know, we get tortured daily with the

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:53.920
<v Speaker 1>thought of how our family could have done something like this,

0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and we still have love for them. I do feel

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>so terrible for the Dents, and I've always wanted to

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to express how sorry I am. And just

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:10.480
<v Speaker 1>because we still love Angela and Jake doesn't mean that

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 1>we aren't sorry for what take done. I get with

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:21.239
<v Speaker 1>trials for Billy, Angela, Jake, and George Wagner potentially just

0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.959
<v Speaker 1>months away, the residents of the Piketon area sit in anticipation,

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>awaiting an end to the most gruesome chapter in the

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>town's history and a conclusion to Ohio's most notorious murder case.

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been in the system for over fifty years, and

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that is extremely rare that you got for people, for

0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>defendants facing the death penalty. What will happen is anyone's

0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:47.920
<v Speaker 1>guests if they walk out of that courtroom without any convictions.

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I just can't imagine how the rodents go on in

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the public too. I mean, how do you go on

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:57.799
<v Speaker 1>not knowing for sure exactly who did this? Oh, it's

0:42:57.800 --> 0:43:00.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be broken hearted, It's gonna be broken hearts.

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I honestly think that that the wagoners. It's going to

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a mistrial. It's searched for the truth, and you know

0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that old proverb from Shakespeare the truth will out in

0:43:16.640 --> 0:43:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the end. I believe that as it applies to this case,

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the mystery will be solved. The truth will eventually and

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:26.600
<v Speaker 1>inevitably be discovered, And it looks like that's the way

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:32.640
<v Speaker 1>they're heading. I, like everybody else, want to know. I
