The Indiana coroner working to identify victims from Fox Hollow Farm says “several tragedies” still remain.
In late April, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison revealed that the remains of Daniel Thomas Halloran were identified at Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield, Indiana. Halloran is recognized as the 10th victim of the suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister. However, investigators have connected Baumeister to as many as 25 victims.
A spokesperson for the coroner’s office previously told Fox News Digital it still has three DNA profiles that haven’t been identified.
Jellison mentioned that his office is currently sorting through 10,000 bone fragments and cannot determine the total number of victims that might be identified. During an interview with Fox News Digital, he mentioned that there are “several tragedies” related to the case.
A recent ABC News documentary called “The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer,” disclosed that investigators suspect Baumeister recorded his victims using a hidden camera placed inside the air vent of his basement.

“Something to relive … the murders,” said retired Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Det. Cary Milligan. “We’re looking through the bottom of the entertainment area … and we noticed this vent. … I was suspicious that if Herb was videotaping any activity that might have been going on. … That may have been a way that Herb could’ve gained power over the individuals that he was killing.”
