Pickerington Main

Meeting Room A

Love podcasts? Fascinated by true crime? Join us for our True Crime Podcast Club—a book club-style discussion group, but for podcasts!

Join us for this month’s Podcast Club as we discuss two podcast episodes investigating the Piketon murders, also known as the Rhoden family murders. These were a series of brutal killings that took place in April 2016 near Piketon. Eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot to death at multiple properties in a rural area, making it one of the most shocking mass homicides in Ohio history.

Together, we’ll explore how each podcast tells the story, the investigation that followed, and the broader issues raised by this horrific crime. Come ready to listen, reflect, and share your thoughts in a respectful group discussion.

Recommended for adults due to content.

Before the meeting, please listen to the following free podcasts on your favorite podcast platform:

  • Love Marry Kill - "The Piketon Massacre" 7/8/24 & 7/15/24 (2 episodes)
  • Home is Where the Murder Is - "The Pike Country Massacre" 1/4/26

If you need accommodations for a class or event, contact communications@pickeringtonlibrary.org or call 614-837-4104 ext. 221.
