Herb Baumeister may have had an accomplice, Fox Hollow coroner says
Key Points:
- Nearly 30 years after human bones were found at suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister’s estate, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison is renewing the investigation and questioning key witness Mark Goodyear’s honesty.
- Baumeister is believed to have murdered at least 25 men in Indiana, disposing of their remains on his Fox Hollow Farm property, where about 10,000 burned and broken bones have been recovered.
- Jellison suspects Baumeister may have had accomplices due to the scale and logistics of the crimes, and he is seeking to identify the victims, many of whom may still be unknown to their families.
- Mark Goodyear, who describes himself as Baumeister’s only known survivor, has denied involvement but is believed to have information that could aid in identifying victims and solving remaining mysteries.
- The investigation faces challenges due to limited records and missing-person reports, and Jellison urges anyone with information about missing loved ones possibly connected to the case to come forward.
