BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
Jake Wagner pleads guilty to killing his ex and 7 members of her family
In 2016, a grisly crime spread terror across a small Ohio community. It led to rumors of drug dealers—even hit men. But in the end, as we are learning, what really went down was a very ugly custody dispute.
Yesterday, Edward “Jake” Wagner plead guilty in the murder of his daughter’s mother, Hanna Rhoden, and seven other members of her family.
“I am guilty, your honor,” Wagner calmly told the judge again and again, as Judge Randy Deering read each count aloud. There were 23 counts in total.
He also agreed to provide full cooperation in the cases the state is building against his parents and his brother.
It took nearly two years for police to put all of the pieces together, but finally, justice will be served. Here’s what’s happened since this story first started making headlines.

More than 100 people are feared dead as boat capsizes in Mediterranean
The rubber boat was thought to be carrying 130 migrants that were attempting to flee to Europe. A humanitarian group the SOS Méditerranée located the capsized boat after an extensive search. The group was unable to find any survivors. Extremely rough seas were expected to have caused the accident.
“We think of the lives that have been lost and of the families who might never have certainty as to what happened to their loved ones,” SOS Méditerranée released in a statement.
This is the latest accident in a string of tragedies in the Mediterranean as more people attempt to cross the dangerous waters in search of a better life in Europe. A staggering 350 lives have been lost this year so far. The SOS Méditerranée is calling into question whose responsibility it is to save lives at sea and is demanding other countries to help with the growing issue.
