Eight dead, a two-year-old girl, and an eight-month-long revenge.

Eight dead, a two-year-old girl, and an eight-month-long revenge: The Pike County massacre On the morning of April 22, 2016, Bobby Joe Manley opens the door of a trailer in Pike County, Ohio, and finds bodies in pools of blood. Thirty-two silenced shots pierced an entire family while they slept - and no one heard anything. Christopher Roden wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm, confronts the attackers, and is shot nine times. The rest executed without resistance. How does a perfect silencer allow three children to sleep in neighboring houses? In this episode, we explore the investigation that lasted eighteen months without answers: 550 interrogated, 100 leads, but no DNA from the perpetrators. The Wagner and Roden families had been in a custody dispute over a two-year-old girl for years. Christmas 2015: the Wagner family votes to exterminate the Roden clan. Eight months of surveillance, homemade silencers, purchased and destroyed sneakers. The confession came exactly five years later, on the anniversary day. Victim: Christopher Roden Date: April 22, 2016 Location: Pike County, Ohio, United States Status: Eight life sentences, additional convictions, one trial pending - Christopher wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm: the only adult who confronted the attackers and received nine consecutive shots. - Thirty-two silenced shots: no one in the community reported detonations, revealing professional planning. - Five types of Remington casings plus one bullet from another model: at least two attackers operated simultaneously in separate houses. - A blood-stained shoe print matches exactly with sneakers purchased by Angela Wagner weeks before the crime.
