General
-More than 300 tips have been received since Friday, all of which are being investigated, the Ohio Attorney General’s office said today.
-LE has followed up on a Facebook threat posted last week towards the 16-year-old murder victim; no charges were filed.
-Two of the family residences were very near each other (pic above) and the other two were within a few miles. LE believes that there may be more than one killer involved, but it hasn't been released yet whether all of the bullets came from the same gun or anything like that.
-There is evidence that cockfights were going down at the residences, but LE doesn't know if the cockfighting or the pot growing operation is relevant to the murders.
-The father of Dana Rhoden told media yesterday, "Whoever done it knows the family. There were two dogs there that would eat you up."
Coroner's Report
-One of the eight relatives all killed "execution style" in rural Ohio suffered nine gunshot wounds, according to the local coroners offices.
-Two victims suffered five gunshot wounds; one was shot four times; and the others were shot once, twice or three times, the Pike County Coroner and Hamilton County Coroner said today. Officials did not identify which of the victims was shot how many times.
-Bruises were also reportedly noted on some of the victims' bodies.
