Bobby Jo Manley is the family member who discovered some of the bodies and can be heard on the publicly-released 911 call Duchess posted upthread.
She was recently interviewed and described the scenes.
Snip:
It’s the image of her 6-month-old nephew covered in blood “from head to toe” stroking his slain father’s upper chest that Bobby Jo Manley can’t get out of her mind.
Ruger Rhoden was wearing a diaper and on his hands and knees when she found him between the bodies of his father, Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, and his mother, Hannah Gilley, the morning of April 22. The three were in the same blood-soaked bed. The baby was not crying.
But Manley, 36, started weeping as she recalled leaning over Frankie Rhoden’s body to pick Ruger up and carry him out of the trailer on Union Hill Road. She said she wrapped Ruger in a blanket; put her hooded sweatshirt on his 3-year-old brother, Brentley; and ran out of the trailer with the two children.
