Part III - EDWARD W. RHODE III
EJAY

The Rhode Family needs closure but The TRUTH will never see the light of day.

We have written two (2) other articles about the untimely death of Edward W. Rhode III back in October of this year - 2023.

Blog Staff Member - Charles Tingler has recently received a video (he requested) from the City of Sandusky Police Department dated July 5th, 2023 - (Axon Body Cam 3).  It can be seen on both Edward Baxter and Charles Tingler (FB) Face Book. What concerns me most, from the video, is the "Lack of Urgency" from the City of Sandusky's Finest on finding out what actually happened that night. YES, I know that Ed Rhode is an Esquire, member of the B.A.R., Cedar Point Property Association and belonged to all the right organizations in Ohio. But the fact that he died from an apparent overdose/or tampered with cocaine should trigger an all out investigation !!!  In the video, it shows that Ed Rhode's Family members called the Sandusky Police Department and wanted them to find out what 'Actually' happened that night.

The Sandusky Police Department sent an every day street patrolman, NOT a Detective, to speak with the family members first. I am not saying that the patrolman didn't do a good job. I just don't believe that this is "standard police procedure" in Sandusky/Erie/Ohio when there is death of a prominent Lawyer from alleged laced (Fentanyl) COCAINE.  The Cocaine Ed Rhode took KILLED him because it was.... deadly contaminated Cocaine.  In Ed Rhode's own LAST WORDS to his girlfriend.  Why hasn't the Law Enforcement Agencies spoke with the Last Person to see Ed Rhode Alive ?  Why would the City of Sandusky Police, Erie County Sheriff and all other Law Enforcement Officers (B.C.I.) NOT want to know why and who was responsible for this alleged MURDER ??  Why haven't these Trained Law Enforcement Personel Investigated and/or spoken with any of the known users of cocaine in the neighborhood ???  2024 is just around the corner and we haven't received any other information but the video on F.B.   The Rhode Family deserves to know the TRUTH & Closure.

I filed a criminal complaint tied to jail noncompliance in Upper Sandusky. The record shows essential standards still broken, a refusal to take a report, and a clear statutory duty on the sheriff that includes ratification under R.C. 311.05.
