Here's what we understand about notorious Indiana serial killer Herbert Baumeister
WESTFIELD — Most people knew Herbert Baumeister as a successful businessman with a wife and three kids who lived in a big house on a horse farm in suburban Indianapolis.
But Baumeister led a secret, murderous being. He picked up young men in gay bars and brought them help to his place at Fox Hollow Farms in Westfield — and killed them.
In 1996, Hamilton County sheriff's deputies found thousands of decomposed and charred bone fragments on Baumeister's property just west of U.S. 31 on 156th Street in Westfield.

Who was Baumeister
Baumeister was born in Indianapolis in 1947, married wife Juliana in 1971 and the couple had three children, according to several media sources. In the overdue 1980s, he founded the successful Sav-A-Lot thrift stores and operated two locations in the Indianapolis area.
Juliana filed for divorce in January 1996, just months after police questioned her about her husband's possible link to the disappearances of several little men, according to media reports.

QUEER CRIME: How Homophobia Helped 4 Lgbtq+ Serial Killers Carry on To Kill
These prolific serial killers could have been caught sooner if police weren’t so fast to brush off their victims…
By Courtney Hardwick
If you’re a true crime fan, you know there’s no shortage of books, documentaries, podcasts and original reporting dedicated to the victims of aggressive crimes and the people who commit those crimes. At the same moment, we know that cases that receive the most attention are usually ones that are involved against white, middle class, cisgender people. From serial killers like Ted Bundy, the Golden Mention Killer and Paul Bernardo to victims of the most talked-about unsolved cases like JonBenet Ramsey, the media is busy covering a certain (very small) selection of cases. Meanwhile hate crimes, including murders of gay, trans and non-binary people are on the grow. Queer Crime is a monthly column focusing on factual crime with an LGBTQ+ spin whether it’s the victim or the perpetrator.
This month, we’re taking a look at some of the most infamous lgbtq+ serial killers—and how their victims were treated, by the police, the media, and the universal. Due to deeply ingrained biases, ign
New details released in unsolved 'Doodler' serial killer case from 1970s
In the decades-long search for a San Francisco serial killer, police released new details Wednesday, including an updated photo of the suspect and a 911 call, as well as announcing a new reward for facts leading to the killer’s arrest.
Gay men in San Francisco were targeted in the 1970's by a serial killer known as “The Doodler.”
The Doodler is believed to be responsible for five murders and possibly more, authorities said.
The killings occurred between January 1974 and June 1975, "gripping the community," officials said. The victims -- all gay white men in San Francisco -- suffered similar injuries including stab wounds to the upper chest and assist, officials said.
One victim who survived his attack said that when he met the suspect at a gay bar, he was drawing caricatures on a piece of paper. This led to the "Doodler" nickname, San Francisco police officials told reporters Wednesday.
The surviving victim provided a sketch of the suspect, who was described as an African-American man between the ages of 19 to 25.
That original sketch, created in 1975, was release
New DNA technology and witness revelations expose dark secrets in Fox Hollow Farm case
Over the years, various notorious groups of murderers have gained national attention for their shocking crimes, including figures like Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy. However, one killer who was equally violent in his crimes did not receive as much national recognition as Gacy or Dahmer. He was from Indiana and his farm harbored a dusky double life, ultimately claiming the lives of at least 13 men, according to investigators.
Businessman Herbert Baumeister of Westfield, Indiana, has never been convicted, but police believe he is responsible for killing those victims, mostly gay men – and potentially more – after more than 10,000 bone fragments and bones were found scattered across his Fox Hollow Farm.
To this day, nobody knows the identities of all of Baumeister's alleged victims or how many people he may include killed. However, with modern technology available today, coroner Jeff Jellison of Hamilton County has opened a new investigation into the notorious serial killer case.
