WESTFIELD, Ind. — Nearly 30 years after his remains were discovered, another victim of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister has finally been identified.
On Tuesday, the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office positively identified Roger Goodlet as one of the victims discovered roughly 30 years ago at Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield, the residence of late suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister.
Goodlet was reported missing from Indianapolis in 1994 and had long been a suspected victim of Baumeister’s, who is considered one of Indiana’s most notorious serial killers.
Goodlet’s identification was confirmed through advanced forensic and DNA analysis conducted by the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification. This DNA confirmation supports an identification initially made in 1996 through dental records, the coroner’s office said.
“While this case has affected our community for decades, advancements in forensic science has finally allowed us to restore names to the victims,” said Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison.
Nearly 10,000 bones and bone fragments have been found scattered across the Fox Hollow Farm property. An investigation to discover all the alleged victims of Herb Baumeister continues to be an ongoing process as advances in DNA technology have led to at least 10 positive identifications.
Baumeister is suspected of luring gay men to his Westfield home and killing them. The first remains on the Fox Hollow Farm’s property were discovered by Baumeister’s 15-year-old son in 1996 when he stumbled upon a human skull.
Baumeister killed himself before he could be investigated by police. Authorities believe the remains of 25 people were found on his estate, though not all have yet been identified.
