EP 55. The Bizarre Murder of Emmon Bodfish

He was brilliant, reclusive, and deeply devoted to a strange philosophy. Then someone took his life in the most unexpected way.

In 1999, Emmon Bodfish—a quirky scholar, druid and heir to a prestigious California family—was found murdered in his home in Moraga. He was known for his intellectual pursuits and his deep ties to the Society of Friends of the Constitution, a fringe political group. But his killing seemed to defy logic: no sign of robbery, no clear enemies, and a suspect with an eerie obsession and unclear motives. Was it ideology? Delusion? Or something even more bizarre?

This episode explores a true crime case where queer identity, intellectual eccentricity, and fatal fixation collide in a story that leaves more questions than answers.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
