Fox Hollow coroner reveals why he doubts suspected serial killer acted alone in hunt for answers

Nearly 30 years after thousands of human bones and bone fragments were unearthed at the sprawling estate of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister, new questions are being raised about the mystery of what really happened at Fox Hollow Farm.

The coroner leading the renewed investigation claims a key figure in the case has not been fully forthcoming with investigators.

"I have had an opportunity to speak with Mark Goodyear a couple of times," Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison told Fox News Digital.

FOX HOLLOW FARM SERIAL KILLER'S 10TH VICTIM IDENTIFIED: CORONER "The first question I would ask him is, ‘Are you ready to be honest with me?’ Because in the conversations we’ve had, he’s not been honest.

I’ve asked him questions that I knew the answer to, and he didn’t pass that test.

So for me to sit down with Mark Goodyear, he’s going to have to be willing to be honest in this conversation.

I don’t have time to sit down with somebody that tells lies, untruths." Jellison appears in the ABC News Studios true crime documentary "Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets," which explores new theories about potential accomplices, overlooked evidence and witness accounts in the case of Baumeister, a suspected serial killer believed to have murdered numerous men in Indiana.

It's a follow-up to the 2025 docuseries "The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer." Jellison said he wants to determine whether Goodyear knows something that could help investigators identify the remaining victims and determine how they died.

Goodyear has never been charged with any crime related to the case and has repeatedly denied any involvement in the disappearances.

"If we move forward in that conversation, certainly I want to know any information I can gather to help identify these remains," said Jellison.

"Were you familiar with anybody? Things that would focus more around identification and how these people died." "Mark Goodyear knows a lot about this case," Jellison said.

FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Jellison also shared that Goodyear knew many people through gay nightclubs and could help investigators identify some of the remains.

Goodyear, who participated in the first docuseries, has described himself as Baumeister's only known survivor.

The film detailed how investigators believed Baumeister may have filmed his victims with a secret camera hidden in an air vent in his basement.
