Episode 38 - Herb Baumeister: Morbid Mannequin Pool Party

Being gay in conventional Indianapolis in the ‘90s wasn’t easy. When members of the small gay community started disappearing and police chose to look the other way, one brave man would put himself in harm’s way to uncover the truth. It would take years, but when the horrifying truth of what transpired at Fox Hollow Farm came to light, no one could ignore that Herb Baumeister, the respectable, wealthy, family man, was hiding a secret so big he chose to end his life rather than face the consequences of his actions. Almost thirty years after the excavation of the property first began, missing men are still being identified.Sources: https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/heres-what-we-know-about-notorious-indiana-serial-killer-herbert-baumeisterhttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1998/04/28/UPI-Focus-Sheriffs-link-9-deaths-to-Indiana-man/9730893736000/https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-still-being-linked-to-dozen-of-gay-men-found-deadhttps://slate.com/technology/2022/07/schizophrenia-diagnosis-history-dsm.htmlhttps://indyencyclopedia.org/herbert-baumeister/https://inmagazine.ca/2021/03/queer-crime-the-double-life-of-herb-baumeister/https://www.distractify.com/p/herb-baumeister-househttps://www.distractify.com/p/herb-baumeister-wifehttps://www.ranker.com/list/herb-baumeister-facts/jessika-gilberthttps://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/heres-what-we-know-about-notorious-indiana-serial-killer-herbert-baumeisterhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-1996-allen-livingston-victim-suspected-serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-indiana/https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/herb-baumeister-serial-killer-new-victim-daniel-halloran-b2742502.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-estate-identified-manuel-resendez-missing-since-1993/https://people.com/archive/while-julie-was-away-vol-46-no-26/https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Baumeister,%20Herb%20-%20fall,%202005.pdfhttps://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/bone-found-during-sunday-search-of-herbert-baumeister-propertyhttps://www.wthr.com/article/news/crime/remains-recovered-fox-hollow-farm-westfield-herb-baumeister-1996-identified-man-missing-1993-jeffrey-jones/531-eb592a69-a7e8-4536-bd15-45d0f57b0c62https://www.indystar.com/picture-gallery/news/local/hamilton-county/westfield/2019/05/16/photos-fox-hollow-farm-westfield/3692421002/https://web.archive.org/web/20080112073317/http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/baumeister/killer_10.htmlhttps://indyencyclopedia.org/herbert-baumeister/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-identified-serial-killer-herb-baumeister-indiana-estate-13-presumed-victims/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0941950020300567https://www.thoughtco.com/herbert-richard-baumeister-973121#:~:text=Herbert%20began%20to%20obsess%20over,Baumeisters%20did%20not%20seek%20treatment.https://pinerypark.on.ca/https://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/837/Coroners-Officehttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1998/04/28/UPI-Focus-Sheriffs-link-9-deaths-to-Indiana-man/9730893736000/
