Indiana coroner renews push to ID remains found on suspected serial killer's farm

Investigators say the land's former owner, Herbert Baumeister,Va married father of three who frequented gay bars, may have lured dozens of men to his home.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — An Indiana coroner’s office is asking relatives of young men who vanished between the mid-1980s and the mid-1990s to submit DNA samples in a renewed effort to identify human remains found on land once owned by a man suspected in a string of killings, the scope of which remain unclear.

More than 10,000 human bones and bone fragments were discovered starting in the mid-1990s at Fox Hollow Farm, an 18-acre estate in Westfield, a Hamilton County city that’s a few miles north of Indianapolis, said Jeff Jellison, the county’s chief deputy coroner and coroner-elect.

The land’s then-owner, businessman Herbert Baumeister, was 49 when he killed himself in Canada in July 1996 as investigators sought to question him about the remains.
