UPDATE 8/20/16

WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio attorney general says whoever killed eight members from the same family in Ohio were familiar with the victims, their homes and the surrounding area.

Attorney General Mike DeWine has also told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the FBI, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Department of Homeland Security have worked with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and other agencies on what's become a months long investigation.

Eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot to death in four Pike County homes in April. No one has been arrested for the slayings.

DeWine told the newspaper that people living in the area know more than what they've told investigators.

The Pike County sheriff has said more than one person was involved in killing the family.

UPDATE 8/4/16

PIKETON, Ohio (AP) - Authorities investigating the slayings of eight people from one Ohio family say they're operating under the theory that there were multiple attackers.

Local and state investigators have released few details about the April shootings near Piketon, saying they don't want to jeopardize their chances of catching and convicting whoever's responsible.

A spokesman for Ohio's attorney general confirms investigators are working with the theory that it wasn't a single attacker.

The Columbus Dispatch reports Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader also referenced the suspicion of multiple "killers" Thursday while testifying in a court hearing related to custody of two of the three young children who weren't harmed in the attack.

They're relatives of the seven adults and teenage boy from the Rhoden family who were found dead at four homes April 22.

ORIGINAL STORY 7/22/16

PIKETON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Three months have passed since the execution-style killings of eight members of the Rhoden family in Pike County, Ohio.

The bodies were found April 22 in four different locations in the Union Hill Road area of Pike County near the Adams County line.

Though time has passed since the murders, members of the community are still on edge and fearful that those responsible for the killings could still be around.

WSAZ spoke to several folks who expressed their concerns for safety.

One woman says she used to be able to leave her doors unlocked at night, but since the murders she makes sure everything is locked.

However, a couple that lives less than a mile from the scene of the murders feel differently. They say they rarely think about what unfolded down the street.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says the investigation is ongoing and he doesn't want to release too much information because it could jeopardize the case, but did tell WSAZ he knew early on it would be a lengthy process.

"We know a lot more today than we did when we started," DeWine tells WSAZ. "We know a lot more about the family members who were killed, we know a lot more about Pike County and what was going on. Having said that, we are certainly not ready to make any arrests. I've always felt that this was going to be a long investigation. When you find one body with no witnesses, by it's very nature it takes awhile. You multiply that by eight times because you have eight different bodies, eight different people who were killed. So the investigation continues on."

As for the concerns of safety folks in the area are feeling, DeWine says he understands but stresses that he doesn't believe anyone else is in danger.

"Well, this would appear that it was a very targeted attack on the Rhoden family," DeWine said. "So i understand how people in Pike County feel. No one has been brought to justice, which would mean there is a murderer or murderers out there somewhere who are not behind bars. But we've received no additional information that would indicate anyone else's life is being threatened."

DeWine says Crime Stoppers has posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

DeWine has said he believes the killings were drug related.
