Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Who Was Micah Badoni?

[05:48–09:20]

• Taylor Chimony recalls her cousin Micah as a gentle, reserved, and humorous man with a love for metal music and Sasquatch lore.
• He worked at an industrial paint facility in Phoenix, was loyal, and loved spending time with family both in the city and on the Navajo reservation.
  • “Once he opened up, he was funny, he was witty… He was obsessed with Bigfoot.” (Taylor, 06:40)
• Memorable family moments include baking a pineapple upside-down cake and braving a dust storm to rescue painted flowers.

2. The Circumstances Surrounding Micah’s Death

[09:33–13:34]

• On August 17, 2018, Micah and a friend were at a bar in Phoenix, approached by a group asking to use their phone. After some hesitation, Micah handed it over.
• The group, joined by others, then attacked them. Both Micah and his friend were physically assaulted, with Micah's phone and wallet stolen and never recovered.
• Micah's friend went to a nearby Circle K (a key location in the story) to call for help while Micah waited at a crosswalk.
• A car—described only as a dark-colored sedan, possibly blue or gray—struck Micah and fled. Despite nearby traffic cameras, no footage or images have ever been publicly released.
  • “Micah’s phone and wallet were stolen… They have never been recovered.” (Taylor, 09:33)
  • “They did see the vehicle on traffic cameras, but to my knowledge, there has never been any advancements in his case. And I don't understand why.” (Taylor, 13:12)

3. Police and Media Response

[13:45–16:56]

• Taylor feels law enforcement and media have deprioritized the case, attributing the lack of progress at least in part to Micah being Indigenous.
  • “I hate to say it, but I think this is just one of these cases… swept under the rug by law enforcement and is probably not being, you know, recognized because of the race we are.” (Taylor, 13:45)
• Early local news coverage fizzled quickly, and communication from police to the family has been lacking. Taylor’s outreach often goes unanswered.
  • “I have reached out to Phoenix police several times, and not once have I gotten a call back.” (Taylor, 17:25)
• Discusses broader media bias and the disproportionate focus on cases involving white women, often leaving cases like Micah's underreported.

4. Challenges Solving Hit-and-Run Cases

[03:59–04:21]

• The hosts note hit-and-run cases tend to be less covered in true crime narratives and pose unique investigative challenges due to limited evidence and jurisdictional differences.
  • “Hit and run fatalities can be very difficult cases to solve. There is not a lot of concrete data about the solve rate for these kinds of crimes.” (Áine, 03:59)

5. The Crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIW)

[01:57–02:52]

• Taylor contextualizes Micah’s case within the larger issue of violence and homicide among Indigenous communities.
  • “This crisis sees Indigenous, Native American and Alaska Native people, especially women and girls, facing disproportionately high rates of abduction and murder… but it also affects men in those communities.” (Áine, 01:57)
• The hosts cite alarming statistics showing Indigenous men have the second highest homicide rates among all ethnic groups in the U.S.

6. Advocacy and the Importance of Awareness

[25:15–27:36]

• Taylor shares the challenges and fears in taking on an advocacy role after Micah's death, inspired by other Indigenous women like the advocates for Ella May Begay and Ashley Loring Heavy Runner.
  • “That kind of courage is really what encouraged me to be like, hey, I should start sharing this.” (Taylor, 25:15)
• She credits podcasts and media platforms for giving families like hers a voice:
  • “It’s podcasters, like, like, you guys who are giving… us a platform to share our stories.” (Taylor, 26:54)
• Expresses that persistent coverage keeps pressure on police and increases likelihood of resolution.

7. Justice and Grief

[24:32–25:07]

• Micah was initially admitted to the hospital as a John Doe, only later identified through employer and family efforts.
• His family continues to grieve without closure.
  • “I don't know that we will ever get answers in his case. But all I can do is… share his story and hope that, you know, his family can get justice, especially for his siblings.” (Taylor, 24:36)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On systemic bias and lack of progress:
  “I think the cases with indigenous people are being recognized as much as some of the others.” (Taylor, 14:30)
• On advocacy and breaking silence:
  “I was scared to be on air and, like, share these stories for the type of backlash I might get… But that kind of courage is really what encouraged me to be like, hey, I should start sharing this.” (Taylor, 25:15)

“Somebody out there knows something. There’s no way. Nobody knows.”
— Taylor Chimony, [27:07]

Transcript

[A]

Content this episode contains discussion of violence and murder.

[B]

Micah Bodoni was only 29. His cousin, Taylor Chimony remembers him as a quiet guy with a great sense of humor, a love for Sasquatch lore, and a strong work ethic. He was out and about in the early morning hours of August 17, 2018, having hit up a bar with a friend in Phoenix, Arizona. But he never made it home. In fact, he never saw another dawn.

[A]

Micah and his friend ran into some trouble, a group of violent men who hurt them. Then things got even worse. Micah ended up in the road at the intersection of McDowell Road and 40th Street. When you drop down to that intersection on Google Maps, you will see the circle K on the corner with a big American flag. That circle K plays an important role in the story of what happened to Micah and we'll hear more about that from Taylor.

[B]

In contemporaneous media reports, police said they were not sure if Maiko was in the crosswalk. They then later clarified that they thought he was likely either in the crosswalk or very close to it. It was about 3:30am when a car traveling westbound on McDowell Road approached Micah. It did not stop. The car hit him, then the driver went on, leaving him critically injured and lying in the road.

[A]

Micah was transported to the hospital where he died that morning. The intersection of 40th and McDowell remained closed. The Phoenix Police Department became the lead agency on the case. They never released images of the suspect vehicle and a description has never been given out to the public.

[B]

As we mentioned, Micah was a cousin of Taylor Chimony. She is a registered nurse and the mother of a six year old daughter. She's also raising awareness about her family's tragic cases. We previously heard her speak on the unsolved murder of her aunt Velda Chimony, at a Phoenix, Arizona Whataburger.

[A]

Taylor is half Navajo, a fourth San Carlos Apache and a fourth Zuni. She told us about the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous people. This crisis sees Indigenous, Native American and Alaska Native people, especially women and girls, facing disproportionately high rates of abduction and murder. It occurs in both the United States and Canada, but it also affects men in those communities. Take the center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, for instance, that found that in.

[B]

2020, non Hispanic, American Indian and Alaska Native males had the second highest rate of homicide compared with males in all other racial and ethnic groups, making homicide one of the top 10 leading causes of death in that demographic from ages 1 to 54 years.

[A]

In 2020 of course, in Micah's case, it is hard to say if his identity played a role in his death. We do not even know if the men who beat him up were connected to the car that struck and killed him. Did they seek him out to run him down? Or was that just a tragic coincidence? Why did the driver not stop?

[B]

But still, we can't help but feel that Micah's background is one of the reasons that his case has not gotten as much attention. That is very unfortunate. When you follow crime coverage in the United States, you would think that the people most likely to experience violent crime would be white women, but that's simply not true. Men are much more likely to be victims of violent crime. But unfortunately, the media tends to have a bias towards covering cases involving white women. It's our opinion that everyone deserves coverage, especially families dealing with unsolved cases. One other problem, though, is that Micah was killed in a hit and run case. Hit and run fatalities are somewhat undercovered in true crime as well. They lack the twistiness of a scheming spouse or a scary serial killer.

[A]

But here's the thing. They deserve more attention because hit and run fatalities can be very difficult cases to solve. There is not a lot of concrete data about the solve rate for these kinds of crimes. There are alarming statistics cited online, but we are not confident about their provenance. We imagine it all varies depending on the jurisdiction.

[B]

Another problem is there are just not a lot of details out there about Micah's case. Taylor tells us that the car that hit him was captured on surveillance footage. Otherwise, we do not understand why there has been so little movement on this case. But we hope that by talking about it, we can raise awareness and get people starting conversations. My name is Anya Cain. I'm a journalist.

[A]

And I'm Kevin Greenlee. I'm an attorney.

[B]

And this is the Murder Sheet.

[A]

We're a true crime podcast focused on original reporting, interviews, and deep dives into murder cases. We're the Murder Sheet.

[B]

And this is the death of Micah Bodoni.

[C]

It.

[D]

Maybe introduce your cousin. Just tell us a little bit about who he was.

[C]

Okay, so my cousin's name is Micah Bodoni on August 17, 2018. Okay, I just wanted to see. So my cousin, Micah badoni, he was 29 years old. He was living in Phoenix. He was working at an industrial paint facility back when he was in junior high. I was in elementary school at the time. He actually lived with us for a year in Phoenix. And I remember him being very. He would be very quiet and reserved to new people, but Once he opened up, he was funny, he was witty. He was an avid metal music fan. He would go to concerts all the time. One of the things I find funny about him is he was obsessed with bigfoot.

[D]

I love that.

[C]

At one of our family gatherings, he had asked my. One of my relatives that live up in Oregon, he was, like, asking him about Sasquatch stories, and he was telling them, you know, about seeing them and in Oregon on their hunting trips and stuff. I remember we watched this documentary on bigfoot, and, like, I had been maybe 10 or 11 at the time, and it scared the crap out of me. But he was fascinated with it. He was a big music lover. I remember him, like, when we were kids, he had this music player that I really like, the stereo system. And he always played Dance dance Revolution. He would play that in our living room on the. I think back then it was like, PlayStation 2.

[D]

He sounds like a blast.

[C]

He was. He would be very quiet and shy when, like, you would first meet him. But then as he opened up, he was funny. One of the memories I was talking to my mom about, he had baked a pineapple upside down cake, and he had asked my mom to take a picture to have proof that he made it. So somewhere in my mom's archives, we have a picture of him holding a pineapple upside down cake.

[D]

To show everyone he could do it.

[C]

Yeah, to show everybody he could do it.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[C]

He was very funny. He always would have, like, funny pictures of sheep. I remember, too, one of my memories of him when we were kids. See my grandma on my mom's side, My Masane, as we would say in our language. She lived out on the Navajo reservation, and it is desolate there. There are no. There are no, like, paved roads. You have to take, like, a dirt road, like, a mile off the highway to get to her house. There's no stores, and your neighbors are basically your relatives, but they're like. They live, like, a quarter mile away. But one time we were there, and we were there for, like, vacation Bible school, and him and his sister were staying with my grandma, too. We had made, like, these little painted, like, flowers, and we left them outside. And then it's like there was a big dust storm. It was very windy. There was dust everywhere. And he ran out there in the dust storm to get our flowers that were trying to. Oh, but, yeah, they used to come over, and we would, like, stay there with my grandma. It was a good time on the res.

[D]

Absolutely. Yeah. He just sounds like a sweetheart.

[C]

He was. He was very Funny, I guess.

[D]

You know, you mentioned he was living in Phoenix. Can you talk a bit about what happened to him on August 17, 2018?

[C]

Yes. So he had been out at a bar, from what. What my understanding was, with a friend. And so Micah and his friend were at a bar and they were leaving, and they were approached by individuals. I don't know specifics about, like, how many people, but I know there was more than two. And they were asking, can I use your phone? Can I use your phone to call for a ride? And Michael was telling them no, and his friend told him, just let them use your phone. So he gave them his phone. And I guess other people had approached them and they jumped them. So they got beat up by this group of people outside this bar. And from what my understanding is, Micah's phone and wallet were stolen then, and they have never been recovered either. So. So Micah and his friend got separated, and his friend had walked to a nearby Circle k to call 911 because his friend was bleeding from his head, and Mita was also bleeding and bruised. But he had. From traffic cameras, they had seen that Michael walked to the crosswalk of the intersection that they were at. His friend went inside Circle K to get help, and the clerk there at the circle k called 911. And when the ambulance arrived, they saw Micah in the crosswalk and he had been hit by a car, so they rendered aid for him, but he tragically passed away. We don't know, you know, what happened exactly, whether or not, you know, those people who they had gotten into an altercation with were involved or if it was somebody else that may have hit him. That's never been shared.

[D]

That is so sad and horrifying. And gosh, I mean, is there any indication of, like, what car looked like that hit him?

[C]

All that the investigators had said initially was it was a dark colored car, maybe blue or gray, and it was a car.

[D]

Okay. Was it. Was there any specific make, model, or indication of what kind of car?

[C]

No, they never told. So my mom went with my uncle to the medical examiner, and I think they talked to an investigator, and that information wasn't shared. And I don't know if that was just not shared because it would hinder investigation. But I know they did have traffic cameras nearby at the time.

[D]

I think a lot of people would be wondering, you know, how is this not solved if there were traffic cameras there like that?

[C]

Yeah. And that his, you know, his bank card and his wallet and his phone went missing. Think that information could be tracked?

[D]

Yeah. Would there be Any. Yeah. Would there be any ability to track the phone at least, or, you know, see if money was withdrawn or anything like that?

[C]

Not just that, but I think outside of the bar, that they were at, those sort of places usually have cameras.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, has this. Has the investigators been in contact extensively over time since this happened?

[C]

Not that I'm aware of.

[D]

Has there been any movement over time? Any leads?

[C]

Not that I'm aware of. They did see the vehicle on traffic cameras, but to my knowledge, there has never been any advancements in his case. And I don't understand why. Because this is something that happened on camera, you know what I mean? And he had a cell phone that was taken from him. Those sorts of things can be traced. They certainly can.

[D]

And I. Even if the camera did not pick up a license plate, I would imagine that they could still release the image. So people could possibly give a tip.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. And I think. I mean, I hate to say it, but I think this is just one of these cases that are, like. Has been swept under the rug by law enforcement and is probably not being, you know, recognized because of the race we are.

[D]

You feel like that basically it's gotten less attention, less pressure, and therefore less work and resources. Because Micah is. Is Native American.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. And I know his. His case is not the only one.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, there's. And.

[C]

And.

[D]

And that's. That's deeply unfortunate because no family should be made to feel like their loved ones being forgotten because of their race or for any reason, but certainly not because of their race.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. I think that a lot of these cases need to be revisited, and I understand that, you know, in a big metro area, area like Phoenix, there are a billion of them, but I don't think that the cases with indigenous people are being recognized as much as some of the others. Yes.

[D]

I think there's a lot of ways that. That both police and media institutions can do better. One of the things, and this is why I think it's wonderful what you're doing is that by raising the media profile of a case, you can encourage or force police agencies to put more time and resources into it, which is good. I mean, that will help a case. The media has to be doing things to hold people accountable and asking questions. And, hey, what. What are the updates on this case? And.

[C]

And his case was covered by media initially, I think, on more than one news platform. You know, when the incident did happen, it had been covered, but then after that, there was nothing.

[D]

Yeah, it's about. It's about holding it's about, like, maintaining the pressure and not just kind of being like, okay, we got the update and that's it. Like, you can.

[C]

That's it.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, like that. That's the problem. Maintaining pressure. So important. And again, that's why I think it's. What you're doing is so great. What would you like to see from police? Like, if you. If you could kind of almost like dictate what they would do next to kind of try to do better on this case or other similar cases, what would you like to see?

[C]

I think they need to revisit some of these cold cases. And I mean, from what I've read, they are short on investigators, but I think they need to pull outside resources just to be able to figure this, you know, all these cases out. I know my family's cases are not the only ones. There are a lot of other families out there, you know, who have not received the answers that they want or deserve. And it needs to get more attention. I know one of the things I have seen being done by Channel 3 in Phoenix is they are going over some of the, you know, murder cases that were never solved in Phoenix and, like, airing them on their channel. And I think that's great, but I think they needed, you know, there needs to be more cases featured.

[D]

Yes, absolutely. And especially cases from. From people like missing and murdered indigenous people, where it's like they're getting less attention already. So that's a place where local news can really step in and. And hopefully uplift some of that. I'll just tell you, like, we hear from so many families where they feel like they don't. Their cases don't matter to police because they're not hearing from them. And I think a big problem here is communication.

[C]

I keep that, too. I mean, like I had said, I have reached out to penis police several times, and not once have I gotten a call back. I think.

[D]

I think victims families understand that many police agencies are strapped and that they can't necessarily just drop everything to work a cold case or an older case or whatnot. But to me, like, the resources still need to be going into that somehow, whether that's through a cold case unit or some kind of way to make sure that those are not just being left alone and nothing's being done. It's not just about the work. It's about communicating the work. It's about, like, figuring out how do we have a liaison with these families? How do we kind of have regular updates where we're saying, hey, there's Nothing new. Because then at least, you know, like they're trying even if there's nothing happening.

[C]

Yeah, that's, that's true. Especially with my aunt's case, like, it being over 20 years old, like it makes no sense that not once have we received an update. You know what I mean?

[D]

No, it makes zero sense. And it's, it's just adding to a feeling of like, oh, this, like this obviously doesn't matter to you because you're not doing anything on it. It's not, it's. That's not the message that victims families should be receiving at all. And it's, it's not. We need to find a way for there to be a balance here and there, for there to be better communication and best practices that are adopted. Because I keep seeing families getting re traumatized by this because it's like not only do we lose our relative in a horrifying manner, but now we're being made to feel like their case doesn't matter to those in power.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. And I know, you know, I know I'm not the only one who has this feeling. And I know I'm not the only one who has family members who have unsolved cases.

[D]

Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's actually, it's really you be. You're not alone. And you would be really surprised. We went to like a meeting at an, you know, Marion county prosecutor's office here where we live in the Indianapolis area. There's so many families who were just there being like, we have not heard back from the detective working on it. And, and I can see where like that detective's probably really, really busy. But then we need to figure out how do we bridge that gap because that can be true, but still also unacceptable that families feel ignored.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. And I think there is a lot of, a lot of groups that have become of just because people aren't getting answers. I know, like the name US organization. I follow a lot of their, you know, their, their posts and I always share the ones for indigenous people.

[D]

Yeah, NAMUS is excellent. I commend you and families who are in a situation like you for advocating and kind of standing up and saying we need some answers.

[C]

So my cousin was taken to Maricopa County Hospital at the time and was pronounced deceased, and he was brought in as a John Doe. So at the time, they didn't know that, you know, his friend was in circle K. They didn't know that incident was related to him. They didn't know they were together because they had been separated at the time. You know, how they identified him was his workplace called, I think my uncle and had said, hey, Micah didn't show up to work. He is always here early. He's never late. He doesn't miss work. He's usually waiting at the gate for it to open. You know, at their company. Like, he was very diligent, and they knew something was wrong when he didn't show up. And somehow from there they were. My uncle was able to get in contact with the hospital, and my mom went and picked him up and took him to the medical examiner's office to identify him.

[D]

What is the loss of Micah meant to your family?

[C]

It's very tragic. He was really young at the time. And, you know, I think definitely my uncle's not healed from it, and I don't know that will ever get answers in his case. But I really. All I can do is, you know, share his story and hope that, you know, his family can get justice, especially for his siblings.

[B]

You know, I asked Taylor to tell us a little bit about what inspired her to start advocating and raising awareness for her family's cases.

[C]

One of the things, like, I've personally struggled with is feeling fear. Like, I was scared to be on air and, like, share these stories for the type of backlash I might get. But there's a Navajo lady who went missing on the Navajo reservation. Her name is Ella May Begay. And her niece did so much advocacy for her. She walked, like, straight to Washington and did, you know, they held posters outside of Congress. And that kind of courage is really what encouraged me to be like, hey, I should start sharing this. One of the other people who, you know, I've been really inspired by is Kimberly Loring. She is the sister to Ashley Loring, heavy runner. He Is like, one of the first MMIW cases I started seeing in media, and her sister has done a ton of advocacy for her. And they even had a, like, I think it's a 24 hour or whatever that show is on CNN or ABC.

[D]

48 hours.

[C]

48 hours, yeah. Or something like that. They had the, they had an episode. And I was like, she really, like, brought attention, you know, to her sister's case. And I'm like, I could do that. And, you know, I mean, I am giving you guys credit because this is, like, a big thing. There's, it's podcasters, like, like, you guys who are giving, you know, our stories, who are giving us a platform to share our stories. I don't know if you're familiar with Payne Lindsay.

[D]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

He went and did a story on Ashley, Ashley Loring, heavy running. And then he went and did a story of, like, two people in Alaska. And I had, as a Native American person, I had never even heard of these cases.

[B]

Wow.

So that, you know, that's bringing a new audience to all these issues. I get real invested into cases. Like, I had recognized you and Kevin from, you know, the Deli Murders. I started listening to your podcast. Thank you. And then when you mentioned the Emily pike case, I was like, oh, my gosh. You know, like, I, I really applaud you guys for what you guys do. We didn't do anything.

[D]

We literally just shared a link.

[C]

I mean, you share information, though, that is doing something.

[D]

You know, I really appreciate that. I feel like you're giving us too much credit, but I, I, I don't.

[C]

Know yet if my cousin's case is, like, considered cold. I know in Micah's case, it's definitely not getting the attention that he needs, but they have a lot of. I feel like they have the evidence that they need to solve it, you know?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I feel like if somebody, like, sat down and, you know, put their efforts into it, that could be solved. It's really my aunt's case that I have a lot of questions about. And because we don't have as much, you know, evidence, I feel like it really needs that platform to be shared. And, you know, somebody out there knows something. I, There's. There's no way. Nobody knows.
