  • 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.

    @1:37:43 -- So, Jake dyed his hair BEFORE the murders? (Angela states that Hannah teased Jake about it when visiting on the Wed. before the murders.) Hmm... . Not sure what this signifies in relation to him making himself look more like the character in *The Walking Dead,* Daryl Dixon, played by the actor Norman Reedus (bc I don't know that plot), and don't know the significance in relation to the case, or why Angela points it out in this interview. Maybe she's stating it to show that he didn't dye his hair after the murders in order to avoid detection or whatever. But, to me, it could be used as evidence that he had already dyed his hair darker in preparation for the murders, in order to avoid detection and to further camouflage at night. He could've also been getting himself in the character's mindset of protecting his family, or whatever (again, I'd need to review the plot).
    The name "Sophia" is the name of the character's close female friend's lost daughter that the character courageously rescues in the show.

    Not knowing anyone involved and not assuming guilt or innocence speaking of only the testimony I'm not seeing the evidence against him other than the statements given by his mom and brother , which they made deals to save Thier life . I have jump around on the days of court , I may have missed something , as for the recordings they could have been stated of innocence or guilt is . Not saying he's not guilty or involved it just seems there not a lot evidence backing the state of Ohio's case , other than circumstance and this prosecutor either needed better evidence or different argument putting aside she's not likeable which is not to be evidence but is not in the states favor. If he is innocence I can see him found guilty, and I can see him being found not guilty and being guilty. I guess it just seems there should more evidence if he's guilty. This just my opinion and I'm very sorry for the families incredible lost.
