Elizabeth Armer, the woman who married Jake Wagner in Alaska and moved back with the family to Ohio, took the witness stand Friday, describing her time living in the family's home two years after eight members of the Rhoden family were murdered in Pike County. After only three months, she said she was threatened, and fled the family. READ SUMMARY HERE: bit.ly/3F6ubAZ

Proof that narcisstic monsters (Jake) can be utterly charming and polite when wooing and painting their bs in broad strokes. Once they get control, their true nature rises, glad this well educated, well-spoken, sweet and honest woman was able to get out asap. The entire Wagner family is deranged, violent, sociopathic, stupid, greedy and ultra-controlling. Especially the males.

So her police officer 'friend' says call if you need help, she calls, needing help after being threatened, and he tells her she's being 'emotional' and wants to talk to the person threatening her. Thats a crappy friend and it's terrifying that he's a police officer.

That part was truly awful. Then people will say things about victims of abuse like "wHy DiDn'T sHe JuSt lEaVe?" Some people have no support system to leave. The abuser(s) can be excellent at manipulating others outside of the situation although this "friend" seemed to have already decided that she was over reacting and "emotional." 🤦‍♀️

Elizabeth Armer is the Bomb. Imagine what she's been through. imaging growing up in an Amish Mennonite community , safe and secluded than moving out to Alaska to run into the Wagner family. Is there anything worse that could happen? People found her behavior strange. If only they knew what they know now. What she went through during those few months. Mentally abused, being accused, threatened, checked spied on by in-laws and their family members, her husband. To see BethAnn in court today; fragile but strong, convincing and sincerely answering every question. I believe she will be one of the key witnesses in all Wagner trials.

Tabbitha escaped within an inch of her life, like Elizabeth did. The Wagner's threatened to beat her to death with a baseball bat wrapped with razor sharp barbed wire, named Lucille. The Wagner's are cold blooded killers that will never change their spots. I can't help but to think Angela was abusing Bulvine and Sophia to make it appear Beth was abusing them sexually and immediately make her an enemy. Jake wanted a love interest and Angela was too jealous to even let Beth out of her sight. Angela imo was so obsessed with controlling her family, she was willing to let them go to jail or die by lethal injection all in the name of the family cult (ure) and control.

Does anyone think that if she and Jake didn't plea guilty before all the witnesses testified how controlling Angela was and how out of control she would get, like throwing a 2x4 at Tabitha and threatening to get a gun, that she would get only 30 years and could get out sooner?

Listen, I admit to being a weird person, black sheep of my family, and not “normal.” But the Wagner family is a whole new level of just... I really don’t even know how what word describes them. The details that have come out during this trial are just 🤯! Their family seems to have a cult like feel. I think it’s absolutely horrible that so many people were murdered. And Hanna didn’t get to raise her children. She was a young mother, but she was a very good mother. Her two little girls were robbed of their mom, grandparents, uncle, and more. I hope that they’re both in a loving, safe home. Thank God the Wagner’s will never have children in their custody again. They are evil scum. And Idk how this idiot thinks he’s going to get away with this. Even IF he didn’t actually kill anyone, or touch a gun, doesn’t matter. He was involved from the beginning with the planning, and he went with them that night knowing exactly what was going to happen.

@@spicyirwin5835 I can’t imagine how horrific it was for any of those girls to have to live with her, and the rest of them. She was like the Jim Jones of their family. The husband, and sons did whatever she said. And took every word she told them as truth. There’s definitely nothing wrong with loving your grandchildren. But she had more of an obsession than love for her grandchildren in my opinion. She wanted Hanna and Dana murdered so she would be the only woman in Sophia’s life. I think it’s a miracle that Tabitha made it out alive. But she, and Beth will probably suffer trauma for the rest of their lives because of the experience with that psycho family. I might be wrong, but I think Angela has feelings for her sons that aren’t exactly normal either. She’s definitely obsessed with them too. She never wanted them to be happy with their girlfriends, or wives. She always tried to cause problems. And that’s a huge understatement! To go so far as accuse someone of poisoning children, and touching them inappropriately, is whacko! Like I said, this family, and the whole case is just mind blowing.

His family were all very "clannish" (was the word we all used). I didn't fit and eventually fled back home. I'm so glad you made it safe. If you hadn't left who knows where you'd be.

She was no match for him. They needed the best of the best on this trial and feel like she just does not have the experience, attention to detail and demeanor for this high profile trial. She gets easily rattled, is disorganized and her responses to witnesses on cross when she does not get the response she wants sounds like a child who did not get their way. If you watched the trial about the controlling boyfriend who murdered his girlfriend, the Prosecutor on that case (last name is Brown) was incredible. He is the level of legal talent this complex case deserves.
