Missing Ohio Family Murder Victims Concealed Inside Hollow Beech Tree

This is the hollow Beech tree that Tina Herrmann, Stephanie Sprang, and Kody Maynard were concealed in. After Matthew Hoffman was arrested for the kidnapping of Sarah Maynard, he told authorities they would find the bodies of the other victims inside this tree in a wooded area of the Kokosing Reservoir Wildlife Area in Knox County, Ohio.

this is horrible, i cant imagine what it must feel like. My prayers and feelings go out to Sarah and her family. And they should seek the death penalty in the harshest way for that freak, bring him down to texas and we'll do it for free!!!

@doctorbrae The death penalty was removed from the table in exchange for him telling the location of the bodies and him agreeing to plead guilty. If he appeals, the death penalty returned. He had 30 days to file an appeal - he did not. Our tax dollars get to support him for the rest of his life.

On 1/6/11 Matthew Hoffman pleaded Guilty to all charges and was sentenced to life in prison with no parole.

The families of Stephanie Sprang and Tina Herrman didn't want to give Hoffman the death penalty because they wanted him to suffer in prison for the rest of his life so he would be constantly be tortured by the thought of what he did to these inicent people. sarah was one of my best friends and i still cry about how i will never see kody or tina again. i love you sarah <3 my prayers are with you and your family! <3

@MsSeeker43 I wanted to send Sarah a sympathy/Christmas card. It has to be hard facing Christmas after losing her family. I couldn't find a PO Box to send cards. I stopped at the Sheriff's office for info. The receptionist wasn't real sure how to get a card to Sarah. She told me to try a lady with the Victims Assistance program, that she might be able to get a card to Sarah. People sending cards isn't common. How quickly people turn their backs on someone suffering. How evil, but good people?
