As children, we often believe what we are told without question. As we grow older, some of us start to question those beliefs; while others never give them a second thought. Often they are passed down from our caregivers, mentors, religious leaders, media sources and others who we give our time and attention. In childhood, we are taught not to be selfish, to share and to give selflessly. Is it any surprise that this often leads to ...

Were you taught to be a good lover? Most of us had to figure out sex on our own because we didn’t get a very good sex education. Once we discovered the basics most of us never really went any deeper.

The Piketon Massacre
On the night of April 21, 2016 in rural Piketon, Ohio - eight members of the Rhoden family were viciously murdered execution style in their homes. Two years later in 2018, their neighbors, the Wagners, were arrested and charged with committing the largest massacre in Ohio’s history. Shocked by the arrests, this once close-knit and religious community remains divided and unable to cope. Was a respected and reputable Piketon family responsible for this unimaginable murder spree? Our team will examine the deep ties that connected both families. We’ll examine the evidence and possible motives for the crimes. For the first time we’ll speak with townspeople, psychological experts, respected investigators, friends and members of both families. Are the Wagners responsible for the murders, and if convicted, will they be executed? Or is it possible that there is still a murderer at large waiting to kill again?
