Summary
For years, men were vanishing from Indianapolis, their disappearances ignored by law enforcement and dismissed as coincidence. But when a man named Tony Harris risked everything to expose the truth, the case cracked wide open. What started as a missing persons investigation led to the doorstep of Herbert Baumeister—a wealthy businessman, family man, and the owner of Fox Hollow Farm. Behind the gates of his upscale estate, police would uncover something horrifying: a burial ground.
In this episode, we break down how Baumeister evaded suspicion for years, his disturbing childhood, and the moment his carefully constructed life unraveled. We’ll also look at the evidence linking him to the I-70 Strangler murders and why even decades later, authorities are still digging—literally—for answers.
How many victims did he really leave behind? And what secrets still lie beneath Fox Hollow Farm?

| 0:00.0 | I like to think I have a lot to offer. |
| 0:02.0 | Most of it may be bad or disappointing, but still, a lot. |
| 0:05.8 | Kind of like Herbert Ballmeister, except his contributions to society were more illegal. |
| 0:11.6 | Mine art, for the record. |
| 0:13.3 | On paper, he was a successful businessman, devoted husband, |
| 0:17.1 | and the kind of guy who probably had very strong opinions on proper handshake technique or lawn edging. |
| 0:24.0 | Off paper, he had a habit of inviting men over. None of them ever walked back out. |
| 0:29.8 | For years, men were disappearing around Indianapolis, and police weren't exactly racing to solve the mystery, |
| 0:35.8 | until Tony Harris showed up with a near-death experience |
| 0:39.0 | and a license plate number that changed everything. What the investigators didn't realize, |
| 0:43.9 | they were about to uncover something far worse than they ever expected, and that's really |
| 0:48.5 | saying something considering this as Indiana. Before we dive in, if you like your true crime |

| 0:55.6 | right place. Hit follow now for at least two new episodes per week. This is 10-minute murder. Let's get |
| 1:02.2 | into it. There's a certain kind of house that just looks like it's hiding something. |
| 1:22.8 | You know the type. |
| 1:23.9 | Overgrown weeds, windows dark, like empty eye sockets, the kind of place that makes you |
| 1:29.1 | lock your car doors, even though you're driving by and not even stopping. |

| 1:38.6 | and thought, yeah, I bet some weird stuff went down there. |
