The murders of eight relatives of an Ohio family are still a puzzle for investigators.

Seven members of the Rhoden family and one woman were shot execution-style last month in rural Pike County, Ohio.

Officials said that they have received more than 550 tips in the past month. Investigators say they’ve also reviewed evidence and relocated entire crime scenes but they’ve yet to share any conclusions about who targeted the family on April 22 or why.

Sunday marks one month since seven adults and a 16-year-old boy from the Rhoden family were found dead at four properties near Piketon. A coroner determined all but one had been shot repeatedly, and some also had bruising.

Authorities have moved the four mobile homes to an investigation command center in Waverly, saying they hope to preserve the gruesome crime scenes to help with the investigation.
