PIKETON, Ohio (AP) — An eighth body has been found in a fourth location in southern Ohio.
Bureau of Criminal Investigation spokeswoman Jill Del Greco says she doesn’t have any other information yet, but Attorney General Mike DeWine plans to provide an update in Pike County later this afternoon.
Authorities said earlier that at least seven people, including two children, were slain in what they described as “execution-style killings” in three homes along a rural Ohio road.
No arrests have been announced, and it’s unclear if the killer or killers are among the dead.
The bodies were discovered this morning.
Pike County is in a predominantly rural Appalachian Mountain region some 80 miles east of Cincinnati.
