In April 2016, the quiet farming community of Pike County, Ohio was shattered when eight members of the Rhoden family were found brutally murdered across four different crime scenes in what investigators described as a calculated execution-style massacre. The shocking killings sparked one of the largest homicide investigations in Ohio history, uncovering a tangled web of custody disputes, family feuds, and deadly obsession. In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we break down the timeline of the Pike County shootings, the years-long investigation that kept an entire community on edge, and the shocking arrests that finally brought answers to the Rhoden family. From the chilling discovery scenes to the courtroom drama that followed, we examine how a bitter custody battle escalated into an unimaginable act of violence that left eight people dead and forever changed Pike County.
