Richard Estep on Fox Hollow Farm: Inside the Serial Killer’s Mansion

In this episode, we sit down with Richard Estep, paranormal investigator and author of The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, to explore one of America’s most disturbing true crime stories.

Fox Hollow Farm, located in Westfield, Indiana, was once the idyllic suburban estate of businessman Herb Baumeister. But in the 1990s, this home became the backdrop for a series of murders that shocked the Midwest. Young men from Indianapolis’s gay community vanished without a trace, until investigators discovered the horrifying truth: the remains of at least 11 victims, and possibly 20 or more, scattered across the property.

Baumeister’s double life — successful entrepreneur by day, predator by night — unraveled in 1996 when police searched the estate. Shortly after, Herb fled to Canada and took his own life, leaving behind no confession and a chilling legacy.

Richard Estep’s book The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, co-written with current property owner Rob Graves, dives deep into both the true crime history and the paranormal phenomena reported at the estate. In our interview, Estep shares insights from his research and investigations:

This conversation isn’t just about hauntings—it’s about the intersection of crime, psychology, and the shadows left behind at Fox Hollow Farm. Whether you’re drawn to the true crime, the paranormal, or both, Estep’s perspective sheds light on why this case continues to haunt investigators, families, and readers decades later.
