Episode Description

It started with a little girl — and a family willing to kill to keep her. In April 2016, eight members of the Rhoden family were murdered in their own homes while they slept. Three children, including a five-day-old baby, were the only survivors. What followed became the largest criminal investigation in Ohio history. It's been ten years since the Pike County massacre and there is one trial still left to come. In this episode, 19 News Senior Investigative Reporter Sara Goldenberg goes inside the investigation with Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson, uncovering the chilling motive, the evidence trail that stretched to Alaska, and what's still ahead in court.
