018: Herb Baumeister [PART IV]

Listen as Jenny takes us to the conclusion of our Herb Baumeister series! In this episode, we discuss Herb’s escape to Canada and the decisions he made to evade prosecution forever. We also discuss the two men who are believed to have been victims of Herb, the I-70 Strangler murders, and the continued strange occurrences at Fox Hollow Farm. We end the episode with the renewed investigation into identifying the remains of 17 victims that were found at Fox Hollow Farm. **PLEASE NOTE: Anyone from Indiana and nearby states who have male relatives who went missing in the mid-80s to mid-90s can provide a DNA sample that will be compared to samples from the nearly 10,000 bone fragments found on the Baumeister property. Anyone who thinks they are related to a missing person connected to the Baumeister case should contact the coroner's office at 317-770-4415. References: * Bovsun, Mara. 2018.

015: Herb Baumeister [PART I]

Hey spooky friends! We’re back to discussing serial killers, and today we are starting our series on Herb Baumeister. He was a father, husband, and businessman who harbored quite a few secrets! Born and raised in Indiana, Herb seemed to be a regular, outgoing kid. But things would take a turn during his adolescence, and Herb just became more bizarre as the years went on. Join us for Part I as we take a deep dive into Herb’s life from his childhood through his mid 30s (and all of his wild antics along the way). - Jenny, Jennifer, & Krystal  Reference: Green, Ryan (April 12, 2018).

Welcome back for Part II of the chaotic mess known as Pam Smart! In this episode, we discuss the murder of Gregg Smart, Pam’s dramatic discovery of her husband’s body (btw, it was not Oscar worthy), the immediate aftermath of Gregg’s death, and how hard it is for teenagers to keep a murder plot a secret. We also discuss how Pam was caught (super fun!) and how the first gavel to gavel televised trial transpired. - Jenny, Jennifer, & Krystal References: * Teach Me to Kill: The Shocking True Story of the Pamela Smart Murder Case by Stephen Sawicki * Till Death: Why Pamela Smart Is the Only One Still in Prison for Her Husband's Murder https://www.yahoo.com/now/till-death-why-pamela-smart-100000510.html [https://www.yahoo.com/now/till-death-why-pamela-smart-100000510.html] * Pamela Smart on teen lover who murdered husband nearly 3 decades ago: 'I loved him' https://abcnews.go.com/US/pamela-smart-teen-lover-murdered-husband-decades-ago/story?id=67946265 [https://abcnews.go.com/US/pamela-smart-teen-lover-murdered-husband-decades-ago/story?id=67946265]
