High School Sweethearts Found Dead In Abandoned Bunker | Bodhi Sherzer-Potter & Cody Thompson
After I did this case, one of my friends told me these were two of her friends from school growing up. (I had no idea) And I'll just say, this is (like so many others) a very heartbreaking case.
Bodhi was a bright, free-spirited 16-year-old; Cody, her 18-year-old boyfriend, was devoted to her. In the tiny high-desert community of Helendale, there wasn’t much for teenagers to do — so Bodhi and her friends had claimed an abandoned military bunker out in the Mojave as their own secret hangout, a place that felt like a world away from homework and curfews. On a cold January night in 2008, the young couple went to a party there with friends, and afterward decided to stay the night rather than drive home in the dark.
They should have been safe. They were surrounded by friends, in a place they knew by heart, doing nothing more than being teenagers. But by the next morning, Bodhi and Cody were gone — and what investigators discovered inside that bunker would horrify the entire region and leave their families searching for an answer to a question almost too dark to ask: why?
In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we remember the vibrant young couple Bodhi and Cody were, the desert hideaway that was supposed to be their refuge, and the shocking, senseless truth behind one of California’s most disturbing crimes.
