Herbert "Herb" Baumeister was born on April 7th, 1947 to a prominent doctor and a homemaker on the upscale north side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Ever since he was a child, Herb was odd. And not just odd, downright weird. He once asked a friend what he thought drinking urine would taste like, and placed a dead crow on top of his grade school teacher's desk.
But Herb got married and found semi-successful careers, first at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, then by opening a chain of thrift stores in the Indianapolis area with his wife, Julie. The couple had three children. But things were not as they seemed. Herb and Julie's marriage was falling apart, the Sav-A-Lot stores were going bankrupt, and Herb had a massive secret.
While Julie and the kids were at Lake Wawasee in the summer months of 1994, Herb was at home every Friday night, prowling the gay bars of Indianapolis. It was there that he would pick up gay and/or drug-addicted men, take them back to his mansion on a property called Fox Hollow Farm, have sex with them, and kill them. As more and more gay men started going missing from the Indianapolis area in the summer of 1994, Herb Baumeister was just getting started.
