Mobile Homes Where Pike County Murders Occurred to be Relocated to Preserve Crime Scenes

WAVERLY, OHIO — The mobile homes where eight members of the Rhoden family were murdered last month are being relocated to preserve the crime scenes Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader announced today in a statement.

The work to move the four mobile homes, which has been authorized by the court, began this afternoon, and the entire process to relocate all four scenes is expected to take several days.

The homes will be transported to a secure location at the investigation command center in Waverly.

The decision to move the homes was made in order to preserve the crime scenes in the conditions in which they were found in an effort to assist with the ongoing investigation and anticipated prosecution of the person(s) responsible for the mass murders.

There have been no arrests and a motive for the killings has not yet been confirmed. A reward had been offered for information leading to an arrest, but was withdrawn due to "complex criminal developments."

Anyone with information and/or video that could assist with the ongoing investigation is asked to contact investigators at 855-BCI-OHIO (224-6446) or 740-947-2111.
