And ultimately, he graduated high school early and enrolled in the California Institute of Technology at 15 years old. Wow. One result of his obvious intelligence was that George was treated very differently than his peers his whole life, and given the impression that he was special and deserving of special treatment at a very young age.

Yeah, but not great for the ego here. Just one year into his education at Caltech, George was expelled. According to Steve Hodel, his expulsion was either for being kicked out for engaging in a sexual relationship with a faculty member's wife. Meanwhile, he was 15. Or for repeatedly gambling on campus, which was against the school's rules.

In the years that followed, George drifted from job to job, including working as a crime reporter with the Los Angeles Record during the Prohibition era. Wow. Before finally enrolling in pre-med at Berkeley in 1929. Which is insane. Insane. From there, he went on to pursue a medical degree at the University of California, and he graduated with a medical degree in 1936.

He also went to school at the time where that specific... bisection method was being taught. Coincidence number one. Yeah. Following his graduation, George worked his way up through the state health system, also making very high society friends along the way, friends with lots of Hollywood elites along the way. I think we're learning now that that means something. Connections.

Yeah, I think we're learning that that has something. It was through this social network that he met his first wife, Dorothy Harvey, who was the former wife of director John Huston, with whom Hodel had one child, a daughter named Tamar. Hodel's marriage to Dorothy Harvey didn't last long, but his relationship with his daughter Tamar would prove... Pivotal.

Not only to his life, but in Steve's case against his father. On October 1st, 1949, Tamar disappeared from the couple's home on Franklin Street and was nowhere to be seen. I believe at this point she was about 14-ish. After several hours of contacting friends and neighbors, George Hodel did contact the LAPD and reported her missing.

Two days later, she was found to be staying at a friend's house and she was taken into custody by the LAPD. While she talked with a police officer, she explained that she'd run away because, quote, my home life is too depressing because of all those sex parties at the Franklin house.

Now, coming from someone so young, the statement was very shocking to the police officer. More shocking, though, was Tamar's confession that not only had she seen the parties, but also, quote, took part in them.

By the time the interview ended a few hours later, Tamar had implicated her father and three other adults in a conspiracy of abuse, as well as confessing to having engaged in various sex acts with several of her male classmates at Hollywood High School. So she was being abused on a galactic level. Yep. That is the only way to describe that. Yeah.

Given the severity of these accusations and the notoriety of the men at the center of the scandal, the authorities moved very quickly, and George Hodel was arrested a few days later and held on $5,000 bail. Guys, get it together. By the time he posted bail a few hours later, the story had reached the press, and the once prestigious doctor was now being associated with sex parties and incest.
