The Corpsewood Manor Murders in North Georgia

The notorious true crime story of a Satanic sex party that ended in double murder in the woods of Chattanooga County, Georgia. On December 12th, 1982, Tony West and Avery Brock made a visit to Corpsewood Manor under the pretense of a celebration. Then they brutally murdered their hosts. Dr. Charles Scudder had been a professor of pharmacology at Chicago's Loyola University before he and his boyfriend Joey Odom moved to Georgia and built their own home in the Chattahoochee National Forest. As a member of the Church of Satan who had absconded with 12,000 doses of LSD, Scudder had a very particular vision for their "castle in the woods." It included a "pleasure chamber" and was adorned with occult symbols. Scudder even claimed to have summoned a demon to protect the estate. But when Scudder and Odom welcomed West and Brock into their strange abode, they had no idea the men were armed and dangerous. When the evening of kinky fun turned to a scene of gruesome slaughter, the murders set the stage for a sensational trial engulfed the sleepy Southern town of Trion in shocking revelations and lurid speculations.
