Edward “Jake” Wagner, accused in the brutal killings of eight members of one southern Ohio family, pleads not guilty and does not request bond. He was arraigned Tuesday in Pike County Common Pleas. Judge Randy D. Deering ordered him held without bond. It took almost an hour for the judge to read the 23 charges against him, including eight counts of aggravated murder. Four members of the Wagner family have been charged with conspiracy and aggravated murder for the killings and each could face the death penalty. They are: George “Billy” Wagner III, 47; Angela Wagner, 48; and their two sons, George Wagner IV, 27, and Jake.
