Clarence Franklin Frankie Rhoden was 20 and from Piketon, Ohio when he was shot to death on April 22, 2016. He was one of eight members of the Rhoden family killed in what became known as the Pike County Massacre; the victims were found shot execution-style in their homes over the night of April 21–22, 2016. Frankie Rhoden was located in his camper in Piketon.

The investigation was one of the largest in the state. Authorities initially believed at least two shooters were involved. Crime scenes included evidence of marijuana cultivation and cockfighting operations, though a direct link between those activities and the murders was not confirmed.

Four members of the Wagner family were later arrested and charged in connection with the killings; Edward Jake Wagner pleaded guilty to all eight murders and testified that he shot five of the victims, and other Wagner family members were convicted and sentenced to various terms.

If anyone knew Frankie or has information about the events that night, please share what you know.
