The 10,000 Bones at Fox Hollow Farm

SPOTIFY STUDIOS
About this episode

In the fall of 1994, a 13-year-old boy found a human skull in his backyard. Detectives later discovered thousands more bones scattered about his family's estate, a property known as Fox Hollow Farm. The remains belonged to the presumed victims of Herb Baumeister, an alleged serial killer active thought to be active in Indiana for more than a decade. The investigation closed in the late-‘90s without an arrest. 11 unique DNA samples were catalogued and 8 victims identified at the time, but officials suspect the remains belong to as many as 25 people.


In 2022, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison set out on a brand new investigation to put them to rest.
