Man Went Missing Under Mysterious Circumstances
Airplane mechanic Robin Bodden died
from gunshot wounds to the head according to a Washoe County
Coroner's report released yesterday.
In a previous story on ANN,
Bodden, 50, was reported missing in late August after his family
learned he had not been heard from for more than ten days.
Bodden's widow, Karen, told authorities she had not reported him
missing because the marriage had been strained and Bodden had left
before. She said she had last seen him boarding a light-twin
aircraft with a man named "Ramos" at the controls.
In September Robin Bodden's body was found in a rural area near
the town he and Karen Bodden lived. Further investigation by the
Douglas County Sheriff's office resulted in Karen Bodden's arrest
for embezzlement -- she had stolen thousands from her late
husband's business.
Robin Bodden's siblings say despite his profession, his fear of
flying in small aircraft was common knowledge among his family and
friends. They also say he would never have left without contacting
one of them.
The coroner's report released Wednesday had been held up
awaiting results of toxicology testing. Robin Bodden was not under
the influence of drugs or alcohol when he was murdered. The coroner
said he had been shot four times in the head.
Karen Bodden remains in jail on $115,000 bail. She has a court
date set for February 21. She is also on a hold for a previous 2004
conviction for embezzling $44,000 from the Nevada Department of
Motor Vehicles.
Robin Bodden's death remains under investigation.
