On May 21, the the Hamilton County Coroner's Office in Indiana announced human remains recovered from Fox Hollow Farm, the former home of Herb Baumeister in 1996, have been identified as Jeffrey Jones. He was reported missing in August 1993.

According to the coroner's office, Jones is the third victim to be identified after more than 10,000 charred human remains, including bones, fragments, and body parts were uncovered at the Fox Hollow Farm.

Investigators believe Baumeister, a businessman and married father of three, lured gay men to his home in the mid-80s and mid-90s before killing them and dumping their bodies at the Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield about 16 miles north of Indianapolis.

According to Nexstar affiliate WXIN, the investigation into Baumeister began in 1996 when the alleged killer's 15-year-old son "stumbled upon bones while on the family's 18-acre estate." Baumeister killed himself a short time later in July 1996 as investigators sought to question him.

He is also believed to have been the I-70 Strangler, who "stopped" after Baumeister bought the Fox Hollow Farm. As the I-70 Strangler, he killed at least 1 young boys and men, with the youngest being 14.
