  • 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.

      Exactly, extra extra heinous honestly. Murdering mothers with babies asleep next to them in bed???!!! And then leaving said babies to fend for themselves until someone found them....because the sound of gunshots inside wouldn't wake them up at all. The thought of the older baby being awake makes me absolutely sick. A nursing baby at that. And those people thought they should have custody of a child????!!!! None of them should have ever been allowed near a child!!

    I feel blessed to see any of this trial. This trial isn't about me, a woman in another state who's heart goes out to all involved and bleeds for the children left behind. We need to understand that our US judicial system has rules and regulations set up for all parties involved, up to and including the accused. The accused has the right to a fair trial. If anything were to jeopardize that right then the judge can make decisions we would not like. This trial, like I said isn't about me. It's about those murdered and those babies left behind first and foremost. Then it's about the family left behind and that can't be separated only by one on billionth of a billionth from those children who lost so much in only a few hours. It is also about a small town tight nit community of country folk who have been devestated by this disgusting tragedy. I speak only on my behalf when I say I am here to support this family and town and anything that gets these people locked up and not having a mistrial I understand completely and put my own desires aside for them to have justice. The chat is full of good persons! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this as I do hold this case close to my heart. Let's not let it become a media circus!

At LEAST, so far, the bored OR incompetent camera operator has NOT shown the jury box/area. Until someone else is HOPEFULLY SOON replacing this person, MAYBE we should think about taking some MOTION SICKNESS, over the counter, medicine. About the only thing they have not shown are any possible ceiling tiles. P.S. BEFORE we stand up, MAYBE pause the video, close our eyes for a full minute OR two, THEN SLOWLY stand up.
