In this episode, we crack open one of the most haunting true-crime cases of the 90s — the Fox Hollow Farm murders and the alleged serial killer Herb Baumeister. After watching The Fox Hollow Murders documentary on Hulu, we dig into the case’s darkest corners: the thousands of bone fragments found on the property, the missing men from Indianapolis’ gay community, the devastating law-enforcement failures, and the societal stigma of the AIDS crisis that shaped how these victims were ignored.

We talk through the strange and unsettling parts of this story — from Baumeister’s mannequins and the skull his child found, to the unresolved and complicated role of survivor Mark Goodyear. We also highlight the heroes bringing real justice today: Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison and investigator Steven Ainsworth, who are finally identifying remains using modern DNA and genealogy technology.

If you’ve watched the Fox Hollow Farm documentary, or you’re just now hearing about Baumeister, this episode breaks down the case, the bias, the missed opportunities, and why this story still matters.

• Overview of Herb Baumeister & Fox Hollow Farm

• Names of the identified victims
