2 months on, investigators plug away on Ohio family deaths

Authorities have reviewed about 700 tips and 100 pieces of evidence and relocated the four mobile homes where the bodies were found to preserve the crime scenes, but they refuse to reveal how much closer they might be to identifying any suspects or a motive, saying they don't want to jeopardize the chance to catch and convict whoever's responsible.

Investigators say they have stayed in touch as needed with surviving family members, who haven't responded to messages seeking comment through the county's victim advocate.

Investigators are maneuvering along a fine line, working to get answers for a concerned community while racing an invisible clock and knowing that as time passes, fewer clues will turn up and the likelihood of the case going cold increases, Benza said.

Having multiple crime scenes complicates the investigation because there's more space to search and more evidence to process, but it could benefit law enforcement because there are more places where useful clues might be found, Benza said.
