In 1996, investigators uncovered a chilling scene at Herbert Baumeister’s 18-acre estate in Westfield, Indiana. Thousands of bones and bone fragments were unearthed, pointing to a grim reality: at least 25 people may have been buried there. The discovery began decades of attempting to identify the victims, but some of the Fox Hollow Mystery is still unsolved.
Alongside the remains, evidence such as handcuffs and shotgun shells suggested a series of horrific crimes. The discovery sparked decades of efforts to identify the victims, with some progress made but many mysteries remaining unsolved.
