Monroe County officers said the father, who was divorced and living in a trailer at his mother's farm northeast of Paris, went to his mother's house and took his young son with him, saying he wanted to show the boy the Christmas lights in Paris.

The father had been employed at Die Casting Co. in Monroe City. He was born in Monroe County Aug. 5,1944, son of the late George Bodine and Flossie Shortridge Bodine. The family farm is about 10 miles northeast of Paris. Bodine was a graduate of the Paris High School and a member of St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church parish. He is survived by his mother; by a brother Mike, now serving aboard the submarine, USS Trout, in the Pacific; and by three sisters, Mrs. Patricia Minehardt and Mrs. Joyce Webb of Quincy, Ill., and Mrs. Shirley Hawk of Hannibal. His young son was born Nov. 25, 1968, at the Audrain Medical Center in Mexico. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Pam Nickell Bodine; his grandparents, Mrs. Flossie Bodine of Monroe County, and Mr. and Mrs. Otho Nickell Jr. of Richmond, Mo.; and by his great-grandparents, Mrs. Gus Voehl of Paris, and Mr. and Mrs. Otho Nickell Sr. of Paris.
