MORNING BREAK IN OH v. #GeorgeWagnerIV. Angie Canepa took Jake Wagner back to 4:30-is A.M. on April 22, 2016. Jake says they pulled the truck into the new barn and took off all of their clothes, floor mats, ski masks, shoes, etc. @LawCrimeNetwork
Jake said he went in the house in his boxers and got "redressed." Put clothes, shoes, victims' cell phones into an old food trough to burn. Used a grinder to cut up the 3 guns and then partially destroyed with a torch. @LawCrimeNetwork
Put gun parts in a duffle bag and buried in a post hole in the new barn. The stalls weren't yet built at that point. Before Billy Wagner left with the truck, Jake said he and "my brother" lifted the false bed out of the truck and disassembled it. @LawCrimeNetwork
Jake said he didn't know until months later where Billy Wagner had taken the truck. As far as the hole under the pole in the barn goes, Jake said "my brother" helped dig the hole. Angie Canepa ask him to describe GW4's strength. @LawCrimeNetwork
Jake smiles and said "in metaphorical terms, I always described him as strong as a bull ox." After daylight, Jake says he burned the clothes, phones, shell casings shoes, etc in the trough. He said he added fuel to it. @lawcrimenetwork
As far as the guns go, "I remember cutting at least two of them in half. Maybe thirds." Jake said he was focused on melting serial numbers and firing pins because of forensics. He put the ashes from burned items in a Rumpke dumpster. @LawCrimeNetwork
Jake and GW4 went to a building Angela bought to sell for a profit but forgot their chainsaw. Went home, got a call from Andrew Carson asking if he knew what happened. Got home, he, GW4 and mom and dad watched the news about murders @lawcrimenetwork
Jake said he called Brentley's mom, Chelsea Robinson, to check on Kylie and Ruger. Jake said he went to Adams Co. Hospital. He talked to April Manley. He wanted to take care of Kylie - not for custody. @LawCrimeNetwork
Later, Jake said he and GW4 built a goose house for grandpa Wagner. He and Billy put the guns and hunting knife in concrete buckets to use for anchors. Placed in lake at Flying W. More later @LawCrimeNetwork
Another thing: Jake was asked whether he and his family talked about this after the murders. He said no. Jake said his parents told him if he needed to talk about anything he could and Jake said he said @LawCrimeNetwork
"nope... and I bottled it up. I'll take care of it." <-- It was hard to hear. Jake said "I could not bare to think about what I had done without feeling immense guilt. I tried to erase it from my memory." @LawCrimeNetwork
@LawCrimeNetwork Jake said after his first interview with BCI, he became fearful that the cops might be listening. He said that was August or September. He said Billy suggested it. (Jake's first interview was in May. Billy's in September). @LawCrimeNetwork
