PIKETON, Ohio (AP) — The long goodbyes to eight members of a rural Ohio family killed more than a week ago continued Saturday with a funeral for a young mother as authorities remained silent in what they’ve said will be a lengthy investigation.

Rhoden family members were shot in the head at four different homes near Piketon on April 22. Authorities say the deaths were a pre-planned “sophisticated operation” and they haven’t released any specifics on possible suspects.

Hundreds of family members, friends and community residents attended a vigil Friday at the Pike County fairgrounds to remember those who died. They clutched lighted candles and launched balloons.

Many wore T-shirts with photos and messages on them, The Columbus Dispatch reported. There were hugs, tears and stories from those who knew the victims well.

Hannah Gilley, 20, whose baby was one of three children who survived the massacre, was to be buried Saturday following a funeral in Otway, Ohio. Gilley was the fianc?e of 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, another victim of the shootings.

The others were 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden; his ex-wife, Dana Rhoden, 37; their three children, Frankie, Christopher Jr., 16, and Hanna, 19; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, Kenneth Rhoden, 44, and their cousin, 38-year-old Gary Rhoden.
