Rural community rattled by killings

Residents of the rural southern Ohio community of Piketon are rattled by a rare major crime that took the lives of eight members of a tight-knit family known in the area as hard workers.

Authorities were still trying on Saturday to find out who targeted the seven adults and teenage boy and why. Their bodies were found on Friday at four different homes near Piketon, about 60 miles south of Columbus.

Kayla Hay said she got to know one of the victims, 37-year-old Dana Rhoden, when they both worked as nurse's aides at a nursing home. Hay said she was shocked and saddened when she heard Rhoden was among those killed.
