Some states even have specific language around reported hauntings and supernatural activity, all of which can affect the asking price. It's the reason Robert and Vicki Graves could afford to buy Fox Hollow Farm, an enormous estate in Indiana with an indoor pool, two libraries, and a five-car garage.

The original asking price was $2.8 million in 2004, but the Graves reached a deal a few years later for just shy of $1 million. All because, about a decade earlier, police searched the property and found human remains. A bunch of bone fragments scattered about a pocket of woods. It started with a few, then a few hundred, then a few thousand.

The graves haven't gone out of their way to look for more fragments, but every time they've stumbled on a new one, Robert has brought it to the lab at the University of Indianapolis, where they're stored for safekeeping. The remains are believed to belong to at least 12 victims of a suspected serial killer who owned Fox Hollow Farm before the graves and who they believe still haunts the grounds.

So let's talk about what drew you into this case.

You're not from Indiana. You don't have a personal connection. Most of these crimes happened before you were even old enough to walk. So what drew you in?

I think most of us connect to cases where that's true. Like Connor said, the scope of this one is really large, partly because it's many different cases. But we're going to focus in on one of them and start our story with the man responsible for the news notification Connor received.

That's Jeff Jellison. He's the coroner for Hamilton County, Indiana, which is where Fox Hollow Farm is located.

It's not that surprising to hear those words come out of Jeff's mouth. one of the most prolific serial killers in the country. Pretty much everyone who comes across this case hears the evidence, the body count, the eyewitness testimony. They all draw the same conclusion. Herb Baumeister is guilty of serial murder.

For almost 30 years, he's been the primary suspect in countless suspicious deaths and disappearances. The reason you might not have heard his name before is because he's never been convicted or even charged, which means technically he's only a suspected serial killer. That said, let's run through some facts.
