The Pike County Shootings: A Family Annihilated

In the quiet hills of Pike County, Ohio, eight members of the Rhoden family were brutally murdered in a single night—an act of violence so calculated it stunned investigators and shattered a rural community. What initially appeared to be an unsolvable massacre slowly unraveled into one of the most complex and disturbing criminal cases in Ohio history.

In this episode, we examine the events leading up to the 2016 Pike County shootings, the painstaking investigation that followed, and the shocking truth behind who was responsible. From deeply rooted family conflicts and custody battles to years of secrecy, planning, and betrayal, this case reveals how obsession and control escalated into unimaginable violence.

This is a story about justice, grief, and the long road toward accountability.

Sue Sharp moved herself and her five kids across the country for a fresh start in the California, only for her dream to end in a bloodbath in Cabin 28.
