TGF 036 The Corpsewood Murders: Uncovered


Listen Later

Tucked deep in the woods of northern Georgia, the stone ruins of Corpsewood Manor still whisper secrets—of ambition, isolation, and brutality. In this week's Uncovered episode, host and former law enforcement officer Brian peels back the layers of one of the South’s most chilling and misunderstood double homicides.This isn’t just a story about murder.
It’s about fear. Judgment. And the fatal consequences of standing out in a place that demands conformity.

🔍 In This Episode:
  • The story of Dr. Charles Scudder, a former Loyola University professor, and his partner Joseph Odom, who built a secluded paradise in the Appalachian foothills to escape modern society.
  • The unsettling and surreal history of Corpsewood Manor—from homemade bricks and occult symbols to LSD wine and misunderstood eccentricity.
  • The arrival of Tony West and Avery Brock, two young drifters whose night of drugs, lust, and paranoia would end in ritualistic bloodshed.
  • The religious panic and satanic hysteria that followed—fueling conspiracy theories and warping public perception of the victims.
  • A hard look at law enforcement’s handling of the case, and how rumor, prejudice, and moral panic shaped every step of the investigation.
Brian doesn’t just recount the facts—he dissects the systemic issues beneath them.
From rural justice to media sensationalism, Uncovered explores how a double homicide became a cautionary tale about queerness, counterculture, and fear in the Bible Belt.

🧠 Why It Matters:
  • The Corpsewood case reveals how cultural bias can become legal bias
  • It shows what happens when victims are dehumanized before they’re even buried
  • And it reminds us that in true crime, truth is often the first casualty of fear
