Police believe Herb Baumeister targeted gay men and buried at least 25 victims on $1 million Indiana estate in the 1990s.

Grisly discovery On June 24, 1996, Herbert Baumeister’s 15-year-old son stumbled onto bones while on the family’s 18-acre property in a remote wooded area of Hamilton County.

The remains belonged to Jeffrey Jones, officials said in May. They were originally recovered in 1996 from Fox Hollow Farm, the home of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister in Westfield, Indiana.

At the time, Herb Baumeister explained away the skull, saying it was part of his dead father’s medical practice. It didn’t seem out of character, as Baumeister collected and kept everything.
