That would soon change…⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: Naturally, this episode is going to be talking about the dark deeds that Herb Baumeister got up to, so there's lots of talk of murder during this one. ⚠️SOURCES📚 Where the Bodies are Buried by Fannie Weinstein & Melinda Wilson📚 The Horrors Of Fox Hollow Farm by Richard Estep & Robert Graves💻 https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/westfield/2019/05/17/fox-hollow-farm-murders-where-bodies-were-buried-now-sale/3667251002/ 📺 The Haunting Of Fox Hollow Farm, first aired in 2011🎙️ Last Podcast On The Left Episode 568 & 569: Herb BaumeisterCOME SAY HI!Instagram - https://instagram.com/dontscareclaire/THE LEGAL STUFFI don’t claim ownership of all the extracts, including images, videos and audio, featured in this video.
