A sheriff's deputy directs traffic away from one of the entrances to Kokosing Lake where three bodies were found while talking with a local resident Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010, in Fredericktown, Ohio. Three people who vanished from a blood-spattered home more than a week ago were found dead inside a hollow tree Thursday, days after the teenage daughter of one of the victims was rescued _ bound and gagged _ from the basement of an ex-convict who worked as a tree-trimmer.
