Recent evidence and discoveries have linked former Indianapolis businessman Herb Baumeister with the disappearance and murder of as many as 25 men and boys during the 1980s and 90s
Early Life and Troubles
On April 7th, 1947, Dr. Herbert Eugene Baumeister and his wife Elizabeth welcomed the birth of their first child, a son whom they named Herb. The Baumeister’s resided in Indianapolis, Indiana. The couple would go on to have three additional children.
Herb’s early life was quite normal, and not much is known about his childhood days. However, the problems for Herb Baumeister began before he’d reached his teenage years.
Herb began demonstrating traits of an antisocial personality disorder prior to his teens. According to the few friends he had, Herb developed a strange infatuation with urine, even quoting him as saying he “pondered what it would be like to taste human urine.”
