      I'm confuse why Angela only got 30 years. She was the master mind for all of it. She control them till the end, it was about her till the end because she testified to destroy her son when she did it all. Right birth, she control them. I don't think the whole story is out. I believe he told the truth, I believe he didn't want to do it. It is sickening, they are all guilty. He could have stopped it, but he was under control his whole life, he didn't know any different. It destroyed him

      That's exactly right. A narcissist can ruin an entire family and she sure did. Then she threw all of them under the bus because no one mattered to her but her. Awful people with an evil queen running the show. 🤯

    Omg.. 35 years ago I was married for 9 months. I was very young and we moved next door to his mother on their property. His sister was creepy, jealous.. his brother hated me... his mom took my dog and CONTROLLED the family. She would report what times I came and went, my family was not allowed to visit, 😢 and my husband was controlling and abusive. He beat me when he was drunk and kicked me while I was on the floor. His mother came over and asked me "What did I do to cause him to do this!" I grabbed my keys to flee and she took them from me 😮 I then managed to sneak my spare set of keys, run to car, and locked the doors. Covered in blood, hardly able to bend or lift my arms I drove across the state line to a coworkers house and she took me to the hospital. My kidney was so swollen you could visually see it protruding in the photos, doctors said 1 more Kick and it would have ruptured. My sternum was fractured , making it difficult to raise my arms and painful to move, cough,sneeze 😢. Doctors stitched my face while the police took pictures and reports. When the divorce was final and I got my name back all I could say was, "Thank God I didn't have children with this man and his psycho family!!!" I've been happily married for 26 years and retired comfortably. Haven't thought about that past in long time. Listening to the testimony of these women brought back floods of horror and only reminded me 😭 that I had been so thankful 🙏 that I had no offspring attachment to that hideous family... Who knows what could have happened to me and my extended family 😵 I've never shared this life detail with strangers but hopefully I've shown enough RED 🚩Flags to help another person to get out of that type of relationship before it goes bad 💔🙏🙏🙏

      The dynamic is a bit like for when the last woman to be executed in Sweden in the late 19th century, Anna Månsdotter. They even look a bit alike. Her son and his wife lived at her farm and they killed the wife/daughter in law. She received a lifetime prison sentence for the inappropriate relationship with the son and death by beheading for the murder which she had instigated and participated in.
      Her son was sentenced to death as well but he was pardoned so he was to serve lifetime in prison with obligation to work. He was described as very much under his mother's spell, he had two siblings but they had both passed in early years. One of them was his twin sister.

I brought our daughter home when she was born to camp creek. I'm so sorry for my friends who died. Hannah Frankie and froggy (lil Chris) was with me a lot when they were younger. Bobby Jo their ain't was a good friend of mine and Dana was a hard working woman who loved her kids. I hate those for the Rhodens...

How did he have no idea they was involved but yet he went with them that night make it make sense.

    George might have wanted to get away from his family but it was clear from the trial he still did what mommy and daddy asked of him. If his ex wife had the money to fight for her child she maybe dead to but George got control of his child. George may not have pulled the trigger but he was there during the planning and the murders.

    We can't help but think, had the local law followed through with statutory rape, as the one Wagner son, Jake, was probably having sex with Hannah when she was 13 or 14yrs old, and he was an adult. You have to wonder about someone like that, as well as the family that allowed her to move in and live with him under their roof. You'd think that would be contributing to the delinquency of a minor. What the heck is wrong with all those people there? It's just okay that an adult male has sex with young teenagers of 13, 14 or 15? Would all those people still be alive today if they'd have dealt with sketchy behavior years earlier? Good grief!

      He had just turned 17. However, my Sister had a gf who was 13 while I was 17. Her mom had her send me cookies while I was in jump school. It bothered me that a mother would encourage her daughter to "grow up too quickly." I gave the cookies to teammates. I would help her with her fixing her first car. After she had turned 18. If I could politely without hurting a young girl's feelings say no to a relationship of any kind in allowing a young girl to grow up at her own pace into adulthood, then he could have too.

      Blaming it on demons takes away the agency that we all possess and gives this terrible family a way out, an excuse. Every single person learns right from wrong as a child and has the ability to control their own actions. Demons are a made-up entity that people who commit atrocious crimes use to pretend that they were not in control of themselves at the time. We should not let terrible people explain away their misdeeds by claiming it wasn't actually them who committed the murders but some vague other who popped into them like they were popping in for a cup of tea. Bad people exist, bad people have existed since the dawn of time, we see them all the time. But actual demon entities who inhabit people just for a couple hours to commit atrocious crimes, no. Four demons didn't just look up and think "yeah! Let's jump into these four family members and murder another family so they can have custody of this baby!" No, they are just bad people who decided to do whatever they wanted to achieve their goals. It's that simple.
