In an immediate hearing which was called on Thursday afternoon, 28 year old suspect Jake Wagner pleaded guilty to the brutal killings of all eight of the Rhoden family members who were murdered on April 22, 2016.Â
The hearing, which began at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday in Waverly, was a result of Wagner s decision to change his not guilty plea from three years ago to guilty. That original plea was made back in 2018 when four members of the Wagner family were arrested and charged with the murder of eight Rhoden family members.Â
Thursday marks exactly five years since arguably the most horrendous event in Pike County s history. The event has garnered national attention in the years since and has been the result of TV show episodes, documentaries, podcasts, and more.Â
