Sheriff: 'Well-planned and methodical' execution of Ohio family

The execution-style murder of eight Ohio family members Friday were “methodical and well-planned,” officials said Sunday, revealing the investigation had uncovered three marijuana growing operations — while also warning residents who felt they were in danger to “to be armed.”

“This was a preplanned execution of eight individuals,” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said. “It was a sophisticated operation. And those who carried it out were trying to do everything they could do to hinder the investigation and their prosecution.

“This is not your case where someone got mad at somebody else, shot him, there’s a witness, two witnesses. It’s a very, very different kind of case.”

drug related??
could it be some of the cartells behind this??

Don't know, they are making it sound as if all four locations were hit at the same time. From the last news conference authorities were leaving doubt that the marijuana operation had any part of the killings, though it appears they know quite a lot. The way the spokes persons answers the questions at these news conferences leaves open a lot of these conjectures/speculations perhaps by design? In many Law Enforcement circles 5 plants could be considered a marijuana growing operations so how much to really read into the choice of words? If it was the cartel they wouldn't have left the operation intact as apparently it was here, nothing burned nothing destroyed leaving doubt it was a drug hit again who knows the authorities are pretty tight lipped for a good reason.

and the possible perp is still at large I presume?
must be a very cold bloodied killer/killers to do anything like this...

Hmm, more speculating in the media though does raise the question. Is this a simple case of removing the competition?

Mexican cartels have used Pike County for pot grows

"Officials said items left behind at camp sites used to guard the crops linked the operations to cartels"

The media report I saw sent in a Hispanic reporter, after saying the word 'cartel'; that's a typical controlled media tactic to defuse any reaction from the populace as to who makes up said cartel. "Oh, he's such a well spoken, NICE Mexican", is the suggested reaction. "Most of them are like him." I hate to be right about anything this horrific, but it looks like, since three of the homes had grow operations, one inside and two outside, whoever did it was probably doing business, and it got personal.

Apparently at three of the murdered sites had commercial marijuana growing operation and a cock fighting ring was also discovered at one of the sites, its also looking more and more of being a professional hit, its also being reported the mexican sinaloa cartel has had major drug operations in Ohio.

"investigators found roosters kept in individual cages, which he said was "consistent with" an illegal cockfighting operation"
