Hearing set in Bodden murder

More than one year after her husband's decomposing body was found in the desert, Karen Bodden is set for a preliminary hearing next month to determine if there is enough evidence to show that she was responsible for his death.

District Attorney Mark Jackson said this morning that he expects to call 10 witnesses. East Fork Justice of the Peace Jim EnEarl set the hearing for Sept. 21.

Bodden, 44, is being held in Douglas County Jail on $1 million cash bail on an open charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

Robin Bodden's body was found in the desert near Johnson Lane on Sept. 10, 2006. Authorities believe the 50-year-old aircraft mechanic was shot to death Aug. 16, 2006, at his airplane hangar.

Authorities believe Karen Bodden was motivated by financial gain.
