Comment on Family investigated in 8 killings say they’re being harassed

WAVERLY (AP) — A family who Ohio authorities have called the “special focus” of an investigation into the slayings of eight members of a different family say they are being harassed by the state attorney general’s office despite their cooperation. The family’s attorney, John Kearson Clark, told the Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/2uhorMM) on Tuesday that the four Wagner family members provided laptops, phones and DNA samples to investigators, and agreed to be interviewed about the Rhoden family slayings in Pike County in April 2016. The Wagner family lived in Peebles at the time of the killings but recently moved to Alaska. “The authorities [using the media] want the public to believe that the Wagners are responsible and have absconded,” Clark told the newspaper.
