Prosecutors say the Wagner family spent months planning the killings, which happened at three trailers and a camper near Piketon. In addition to Edward Wagner, the lawsuit names his brother, George Billy Wagner IV, and their parents, George Billy Wagner III and Angela Wagner. The lawsuit also names Fredericka Wagner, the mother of George Billy Wagner III, and Rita Newcomb, the mother of Angela Wagner.
