Pike County Rhoden Murder Update: Wagner Family WANTED for questioning, Left Before Swat Team Raid

WAVERLY, OH (AP) — A family who Ohio authorities have called the “special focus” of an investigation into the slayings of eight members of a different family say they are being harassed by the state attorney general’s office despite their cooperation.

The family’s attorney, John Kearson Clark, told the Cincinnati Enquirer on Tuesday that the four Wagner family members provided laptops, phones and DNA samples to investigators, and agreed to be interviewed about the Rhoden family slayings in Pike County in April 2016.

The Wagner family lived in Peebles, Ohio, at the time of the killings but recently moved to Alaska.

Nor was there any indication why they wanted to look through a semi-tractor trailer loaded with their household items, she said. And she said it remains unclear why her in-law’s 2,000-acre farm in Pike County was raided or why the Franklin County SWAT team was called to assist in that search.
