Summary

Alex Jablonski, director of The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer, a four-part Hulu docuseries. 

  

In the wealthy suburbs of Indianapolis, husband and father of three Herb Baumeister led a double life — businessman by day, serial killer by night. Throughout the 1990s, he targeted gay men, amassing a victim count possibly surpassing that of Jeffrey Dahmer. The series follows Hamilton County coroner Jeff Jellison as he launches a new investigation decades after thousands of bones were found in the woods behind Fox Hollow Farms, Baumeister’s stately home.
