Watch Live: Pike County Massacre Trial - OH v. George Wagner IV Day Sixteen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2022
- George Wagner, IV is standing trial for the April 2016 murders of eight members of the Rhoden and Gilley families. Wagner IV faces 22 counts including eight counts of aggravated murder with death penalty specifications, aggravated burglary, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and forgery.
Wagner’s brother, Edward “Jake” Wagner, and his mother, Angela Wagner, have already pleaded guilty to taking part in the conspiracy to murder the eight Rhoden and Gilley family members over their desire to obtain full custody of the then two-year-old daughter Jake shared with victim Hanna May Rhoden. Angela and Jake Wagner have agreed to testify against their family members.
George “Billy” Wagner, the father of Jake and George, faces the same 22 counts.
On the morning of April 22, 2016, family members found Chris Rhoden, Sr., 40, and his cousin, Gary Rhoden, 38, dead in Chris’ mobile home on Union Hill Rd. Chris Sr.’s ex-wife, Dana Manley Rhoden, 37, and their children, Hanna May Rhoden, 19, and Chris Rhoden Jr., 16, were found shot in the head in their sleep in their mobile home down the road. Hanna May had given birth days earlier to a baby girl who was not harmed. Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden, 20 and his fiancee, Hannah "Hazel" Gilley, 20, were also found shot to death in their sleep. Their six-month-old son was in between them covered in blood but unharmed. Frankie’s four-year-old son was unharmed in the home as well.
Kenneth Rhoden, 44, was found shot once in the eye in his camper on Left Fork Rd. more than seven miles away.
Angela Wagner’s mother, Rita Newcomb, pleaded guilty in 2019 to a misdemeanor count of obstruction. She had been charged with forgery and obstruction of justice for lying about signing and notarizing custody documents related to Hanna May, Jake and George’s children. Newcomb has agreed to testify against her family members.
Billy Wagner’s mother, Fredericka Wagner, was initially charged with obstruction of justice and forgery for allegedly lying about purchasing a bullet-resistant vest for Billy. The charges were dropped after it was discovered a plate in the vest was manufactured after the homicides. Prosecutors have said they may refile the charges at a later date. Fredericka has been subpoenaed to testify.
The victims:
Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40
his ex-wife Dana Manley Rhoden, 38,
their children Christopher Rhoden Jr., 16, Hanna May Rhoden, 19, and Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20,
Christopher Sr.’s cousin Gary Rhoden, 38,
Sr.’s brother Kenneth Rhoden, 44,
and Frankie’s fiancée Hannah “Hazel” Gilley, 20
The Wagners did it so they could get custody of the young daughter Jake had with his ex Hanna Rhoden, prosecutors said. Jake indeed won sole custody of the child, now 8, after the murders. The Wagners moved to Alaska. That all changed after authorities arrested them in November 2018, sparking a legal battle lasting almost four years.

Kudos to Tabby for answering “I didn’t feel like dyin’”! That was amazing
She's not even 30 and has lived a horrific life. It's heartbreaking.
🙏🙏🙏💞❣
In rural Appalachia there are not many opportunities.
I’m so glad this young woman escaped that family.
I wish she would escape her own. Her mother belongs in prison for life.
The defense attorney asks these questions as if George and his family didn’t take out 8 people over a custody battle.
@@nodumbblonde2840 George and the dad didn’t confess
@@Stucklike-Chuck thank you. I was told they all did. That makes since. lol
Um being unfaithful doesn't give someone the right to hold you hostage
She could have left anytime
@@brendaford5542 The Wagner’s GROOMED her since she was child!!! Everyone in her life as a child and young woman FAILED her💯
@@brendaford5542How do you know this? Were you there?
This testimony lets me know one important thing the Wagner family did everything together. Any doubts I had about George's innocence is gone. He helped plan those murders and went to help. Whether he killed anyone or not he sure took part in their deaths.
The defense attorney is speaking to her like she is 4 years old. Insulting jerk. I didn't see him picking out good things about George, only lapses in Tabitha's judgement as a teenager. Angela raised her boys to groom their women to be beaten and controlled.
Hopefully this helps the sate and the jury remembers all this!
That’s usually something they learn by example not necessarily taught.
Agree with you completely. But he has a job to do.
I do think the jury will notice that to defend George he has to use some pretty nasty tactics. Like questioning whether or not she takes her meds for bipolar. Again I understand what he’s doing in trying to discredit her, but dirty dirty move
Love this girl! I wish nothing but good things for her and her family
I get irritated with Prosecuting Atty Canepa sometimes but she stood up for Tabitha and wasn’t about to let Nash badger her on that witness stand. You did good up there Tabitha. I’m so glad you were able to get away from that family and have your son.
A victim being re victimized. This is what the defense did today. She was victimized at a young age and the pattern just continued w this crazy family. This lawyer is banking on that. Its beyond shameful. My heart goes out to you Tabitha💓. You arent alone in your fight. Stay strong.
I agree… I know he has a job to do, but he’s hitting low ! Totally unnecessary & irrelevant
I TRULY pray the jury sees the defence for the lies they are trying to spin!
And yet just ANOTHER on of a million women that have to get democratic one the stand for having a messed up life! It’s EXACTLY why I quite dealing with victims services as I was so beaten down by Being revictimized over and over by each new person/detective and crown that called, honestly the assault was less dehumanizing!!!!
@@ZeroFoxx Thankfully that is not the case everywhere
Humiliated, her privacy rights were violated!!! They treated her as if she was the one who killed them
Angela drugged a baby?😡😡. That woman is beyond evil.
@@AnnA-tu3ig when did she get custody back from those crazy ppl? She is incredibly brave. It’s got to be scary knowing it would have been her and her family. Those ppl are evil. My heart goes out to Tabitha ❤
I’m sorry, but who in the heck drugs a newborn baby just so they can turn around and get custody of another child? evil, VILE evil is what they all are!!!! These people make me sick!!!!! We are taught to treat others how we want others to treat us, I believe every single person in this family, needs to be treated exactly how they treated others in fear for their lives every single second!!!!
This is a learned behavior that these boys, learned from their mother and their father. And you know what it sounds like Angela and her mother have always been this way. I feel like Angela thought she was this entitled Witch!!!
Right that just made me ill.
@@redonmyhead when they got arrested.
Tabitha is a hero. I wish I could bring her and her children into my family. She deserves to be loved. ❤️
I feel for Samantha too
@@BobSmith-ll9ol 🙄🤡
I so agree.
Its not unheard of, of a woman with little knowledge of the law and not a leg to stand on to be scared into doing something like signing over custodial rights in a situation like this
I agree. How do you bring that out in court?
Agree!!!
@@trishkuhne550 right or why? I love that she stood her ground tho! God these ppl were pure evil!
@@aprilove-xoxo The death penalty is so warranted here. Can you imagine being in your home thinking your safe and snug? Feeding your babies? Working a double shift? Setting up your “ best friend” I’m gonna say there was much jealousy going on here. Not just from Ted bundy, but sante kimes and her lazy worthless foul mouthed husband. MURDERERS!
The Wagners were extremely controlling. A highly dysfunctional family.
That would be an UNDERSTATEMENT ‼️WAGNER FAMILY EVIL, MURDERERS👹👇🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👺👎
Oh, and I forgot COWARDS‼️‼️‼️
Shot everyone while they were Asleep, DEFENSELESS 😱👎👎👎👎👎👎
I really wish someone was waiting to smack the ego face off that attorney at end of day. He made my blood boil w his tone.
He’s been like this the whole trial - he’s so smug and condescending. I loathe the man. I can only imagine how the jury views him. He thinks he’s winning points. Grrrrr.
Good for you Tabitha . You didn’t deserve to live in the Wagner cult, no matter what you did as a young adult. Your alive so, one could say you made all the right decisions. Stay strong.
@@BobSmith-ll9ol 🤷♀️🤷♂️
@@BobSmith-ll9ol First there is NO need to judge and SECOND the adults made her do what she did!!! Adults are the ones who supposedly guide you to be the best in life, but she did not have that important guide that many of us have as children. Her mother was more of a woman than a mother, she protected her husband more than her daughters!!!!!your comment lacks content
Poor Tabby. She & Vine were both lucky to escape with their lives.
I believe Vine, from what has been stated about her and her family… is in grave danger. I hope he stays safe and is being raised in a living and protected environment. However, that is not likely unfortunately
@@brendaford5542 WHAT? Do you not think Tabitha is loving him and raising him in a loving home? You don't need money for that!
Why isn't the prosecuting attorney objecting to say, "This Witness is NOT on trial?"
Same!!! I was so mad
The Prosecutor failed her! She’s a terrible attorney.
I mean, REALLY. WTF.
They invited her to Alaska after the murders?! Ok George. Book my flight! 😑
They did everything they could to gaslight and malign a vulnerable mother. Now look at her, standing on the burning embers of their shitbag legacy. You a bad b, Tabitha. Keep bein a baddie.
This💯🙌🙌
would have been the 9th victim…
This woman is extremely fortunate to be alive, a miracle ! In fact most of the witnesses testifying are!
yes, Angela was going to shoot her the day she left.. and if she would have went to Alaska… she wasn’t going to come back
I was thinking....if she had called the cops and reported the house fire for what it was- insurance fraud- the family would have been arrested and she would have had the grounds to get full custody of her child. But, then I thought...No, they would have just killed her. Unbelievable. Angela is a total whack job. Wow. Unreal.
Yes she is so lucky to be alive. The Wagner family could have just kept going for house to house and kill. But this girl had given them control r of her son sad to say. She has mentioned she now has her son now. So happy to hear that if it’s true.
“ Yes, I didn’t feel like dying.” GAME OVER👾👾
These are definitely some evil people
Tabitha…..if no one has told you….IM SO PROUD OF YOU GIRL! You handled the defense like a pro. You go girl!!!!
My dad would've come blasting thru the door rescuing me. Glad she got out alive. Wish she had reported the incident to the police.
If i was the ex-wife & the prosecuting attorney didn't object to this line of questioning on my behalf, I think I'd say, "George & his family are on trial here for murdering 8 people in cold blood, most of them while they slept., NOT Me.
So stop picking MY life apart.
haaaa "I DIDNt FEEL LIKE DYING" woulda loved to see Prosecutors face after that comment!!!!!
Dating at 11, 12. Sleeping with older guy at that same age. 😥 Victim blaming personified. She was a naive young child.
It’s so heart breaking to hear what this young, beautiful woman had to go through with that family. I don’t think I could have been as strong as her. I just want to go up to her and give her a big ‘ol hug. 😔🤗
I no the pain she went threw. I don’t no her strength yet. I just want to tell you tabitha you are my hero!
Makes me sick. Nothing worse than parental alienation. Feel so bad for what Tabitha went through. Poor little boy.
Tabitha you were truly amazing! Good for you.
I wish you the best for the rest of your life.
5:20:00 Apparently this defense attorney believes that women should be held captive if they admit that they cannot be faithful. He must not have any friends who handle divorces to whom he can refer these poor men.
I agree. I know he’s a defense attorney and has his job to do but making it seem like being held captive is ok punishment for being unfaithful is disgusting.
I cannot stand this defence attorney.
I like him. He’s fabulous.
@@marylouculkar4391 fabulous job...
This prosecutor does a feeble job protecting her witness on the stand from the vicious attacks by the defense attorney. She should be objecting as strongly as the defense did and break up this vile human being’s rhythm, at the very least. 😡
If looks could kill that defense attorney would be gone!! She held her own well!!
No mother young mother should be forced to give up the right to breastfeed her son when it comes to treatment advice.
I nursed all three of my children. It does take time for one's milk to come in. You must be patient. Angela was there to be controlling once again. There are also things one can do to assist with nursing.
How on earth does he think this benefits his client…sleeping with an 11 year old
Thought exactly the same thing! Did you hear yesterday that Angela used to come into the bedroom & scratch George’s back & Tabitha had to leave the room!! We’ll never know what really went on in the Wagner’s family.
THIS! I would like to know how old George was when he started molesting this 11 year old child while his family watched.
Exactly
This Wagner family was wacko and scary, and the mother creepy
Hills Have Eyes clan. Wrong Turn Hill billies
Did u see her face when she call'd her Mrs. Wagner 🤣
Now we know why George has been writing so furiously. All of these questions are his doing. Hateful. Nasty.
Is that George, I thought it was Jake
@@joycemcswain5279 George
I like this girl honest direct and standing up to some ridiculous questioning
She great with her answers
For what reason are these questions??? None of which has to do with Wagner family plotting and carrying out 8 murders.
To prove intent.
It's background info, laying the groundwork for the case, and shows the motive.
@@missmelody6185 DUH... TABBITHA BEING MOLESTED AS A CHILD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE... ONLY TO TRY TO BREAK HER DOWN, PATHETIC ON DEFENSE ATTORNEYS PART.
@@hunnybunnyssunshineliving5155 actually, I think that Hannah and Tabby both telling Jake that they were molested as children is what planted the idea in Jake's mind that he had to rescue Sophia before SHE got molested. Angela wanted Sophia, Jake used someone else's childhood trauma as an excuse to murder in order to "save and rescue " Sophia. So, yeah, it's background to the case.
Who’s on trial? George ? Or tabitha?
That Wagner family is just a bunch of spiteful, vindictive and rotten people! I've never witnessed so much spite within one family! They even tried to drug or kill her 6 month old daughter while she was there visiting her son???? This is mental!
I can't stand it when defense attorneys simply ignore witnesses' answers when said answers aren't what defense attorney wants to hear. Case in point: T's answer, "I didn't feel like dyin;" when asked about not wanting to visit Alaska.
Makes me wonder if George was just a product of the family. However, he should have seen what is right and wrong as he got older. Sick!!! He definitely deserves jail!!
Did anyone else wonder why the defense attorney doesn't point out that a 14 -15 year old boy ( George) is dating an 11 year old girl? This man should be ashamed of himself. Victim shaming is terrible.
Poor witness looks so tired and so sad…
Sad….empty eyes.
My heart goes out to T and her sisters and all in that situation: of being in between a rock and a hard place. Can't live at home with the dysfunctional, co-dependent mother and molesting step-father + "best alternative" is to move in with the dysfunctional, controlling, abusive W's at age 11-12. I truly hope an outcome of this mess is that more education and resources occur in those parts (and furthermore, everywhere in the world).
Tabitha I am so proud of you!! Much respect and love. ❤. I’m glad you survived young lady.
Tabitha is a great example of a very honest person. Sadly you don't see this too often.
Really didn’t sit well with me that defense brought up her bi polar and whether she takes her medicine. I know what he’s trying to do but as a juror personally that doesn’t discredit her, but it makes me think the defense is having to use nasty tactics
Absolutely. It made me believe her so much more. He drug her through the dirt and she came out with her head high. The friggin nerve.
Wish state had of helped her more even with bs objections like defence did just to break any momentum
❤️🙏🏽🕊I am so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. May God keep you and comfort you. 😔
I wish they'd turn the volume up
She looks so tired but is holding up so well.
This poor women is so broken.
I hope she can live peacefully now that this evil sick family is behind bars forever.
Imagine if they didn't get caught and go to jail? She would never get to see her baby boy . They are exactly where they belong.
This defense attorney is so dirty. The tone of his voice is just disgusting and condescending.
Law and crime I think we all would like to George's facial reaction to his ex wife from time to time. Making sure he isn't a emotionless robot...
I felt so sorry for this young lady.
“I didn’t feel like dying” good one Tabitha that shut him up! Lol😂
I'm disgusted! I hope she gets to live a better life and that she'll change the baby's name.
You mean, change the name of Bovine, which means cow?
Am i watching the wrong video -tabitha is back on the stand? Or are they not live today. This says live an hour or so ago
You go girl👏🏻
Why is she on trial? She agreed to visitation that's not the issue the issue was he never agreed to times , he kept Vine away from her .
She's not on trial. She's a witness
@@Southernheathen13 are you serious
@@Southernheathen13 YEA DUH... IT WAS SARCASTIC.
Video starts ( court) 53 minutes
didn't object to Angela coming into the bedroom and scratching little Georgeys back but objects to breast feeding????????????
I have a feeling she wasn't just scratching his back 🤢
Off topic 👎
@@HB-ey2dk The thought of that turns my stomach 🥴🤢🤮Then Angela lays down the law abt what is acceptable regarding husband & wife relations. No wonder that poor girl cheated, seriously⚠️
Please someone - is there a live feed today and it it still tabby or what??? THANK YOU
What kind of family has "meetings"? Weird
Total respect to you the defending team trying best but respect sista u telling the truth x
and it has set her FREE!
Tabby you have done a great job holding up to this torture interrigat ion
This poor woman! These people are evil.
If prosecutor opens the door by laying out evidence that she wants the jury to hear she can’t object when the defense brings rebuttal evidence to the evidence she presented….can’t have it both ways lady
If there was ever a model for the Resident Evil 7: Biohazard family, it’s the Wagners. Bunch of absolute weirdo, degenerate monsters.
Seems like the Judge is intimidated by the defense. If George is found guilty, Pike County should thank all the VERY brave women that have spoken their truth! You ladies are fantastic!
This prosecutor and her loud note taking, lines and circles is distracting and nauseating 🙄 Just unprofessional.. get a hold of yourself woman.
I know the DA is just trying to be a zealous advocate for his client but some of his questioning of Tabitha feels wrong. I hope she and her children get to move past all this and live a long and happy life! 💚
26:54 Judge comes out
You go Tabitha!!!
Is this defense attorney really shaming her for sleeping in a bed with a man at 11 yrs old!!! Wow... if this is the attorney thinks this is the norm to ask "permission" to call ur mom I feel for his wife
I have a lot of empathy for her I do. Who selected the name Bovine for their son?? Horrible name.
Brave young woman 😊❤
My heart breaks for tabitha! The Wagners are pure evil especially the mother the ring leader of all she’s the worst human being
Nice to meet you
SOUNDS LIKE THE COLOR PURPLE...🙁 DANGEROUS WAGNER FAMILY... OMG... I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE TO ALASKA EITHER.
Sounds like Hills Have Eyes or WrongTurn. if she would have gone to Alaska.. she would probably be missing
We can hear you
The defense attorney's cross is cloying and sickening. Can't be winning over any jury members with that.
So sad makes no sense 😢
Grandma Angela needed those kids for food stamps and tax deduction.
Does this girl have a cash app???
Is this from this Morning?
@Nana B
Yes!
You rock Tabitha🎉🎉
Wait- are they saying Bovine? Is the poor kids name bovine???
Bulvine
Any person giving a baby Xanex should not be shown ANY mercy, PERIOD!!
Oh my gosh, I friggin LOATHE Nash.
Where’s the sound?
I'm sorry but this defence attorney sounds creepy. He sounds like Hannibal Lecter. "Hello Clarice".
Wow, T's mother, Tess, must be a piece o' work, letting her 11-y.o. daughter live in the W's house, with two boys. Trying to set up both her daughters with two young boys at that age. Guess they have 'em young and farm 'em out young. And the adult W's: Angela, with all her "morals," was fine with the kids sleeping together at those ages (T--11, 12 and George--15, 16)?
I pray George gets what is coming to him..Tabitha YOU are great person..if I can help you I will.just text me ..George is as guilty as the rest of the Wagner's.
Me too
Give these coughers and throat clears some water and cough drops
No mention from defence on 2 womens conversations matching! And the one from Alaska that married Jake is the same! I would love to be a celli with Angela!
Cellie
