it wasn't like, oh, crap,

I've been a police officer
for just about 44 years,
16
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:05,143
and I'm currently
working as a consultant
17
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:10,315
for cold case homicides and
unidentified human remains.
18
00:03:10,315 --> 00:03:14,903
I was a detective for
about 31 and 1/2 years.
19
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:18,115
I worked on several
high profile cases.
20
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:20,617
I consulted for the
DA's office in Boulder.
21
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:23,453
I consulted on
the JonBenét Ramsey case

in 1996, 1997.
23
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,460
I worked the
Betty Lee Jones homicide
24
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:35,841
from 1970 for 16 years.
25
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:39,636
I worked on the
Boulder Jane Doe case from 1954

00:03:39,636 --> 00:03:45,142
where she was found
dumped near Boulder Creek.
27

Solved that one.
28
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:50,939
I worked probably over
2,400 deaths in my career.

There's just all kinds of
different fascinating cases,
31

and it's a giant puzzle.
32
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:08,457
So the bigger the case,
the more serious the case,
33
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:10,333
the bigger the puzzle becomes.

I just loved the challenge.
35
00:04:14,463 --> 00:04:16,506
So a case that isn't
actively worked
36
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:19,342
and you're out of leads,
that would be a cold case.
37
00:04:19,342 --> 00:04:21,386
And it could be
after three months.
38
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:23,221
It could be after a year.

00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:25,432
It could be after five years.
40
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:28,226
I would go back into cold
cases and look at them

00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:31,646

what can I do with this case

AINSWORTH: I had never heard
of the Baumeister case
51
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:52,918
until April of last year,
and I got a call
52
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:54,794
from a friend of mine
53
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:56,671
who is a retired
LAPD homicide detective.
54
00:04:56,671 --> 00:04:58,381
And he says, hey, do you
know who Herb Baumeister is?
55
00:04:58,381 --> 00:05:00,175
And I said, no,
I've never heard of him.
56
00:05:00,175 --> 00:05:02,302
He goes, he's a serial killer
in Indiana.

Look him up.
58
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:04,971
So I said, OK, well, what's up?
59
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,974
He goes, I want you to call
this guy Jeff Jellison.
60
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:12,103
He's a coroner out there
in Hamilton County,
61
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:15,899
and he is trying to identify
all the victims of this guy.
62
00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:17,275
And so I got interested,
and I started
63
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:18,735

in my opinion,

00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:47,681
he's the Michael Jordan of
cold case investigators.

00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:50,141

human remains cases.

appeared

Baumeister killed himself.

the Hamilton County Sheriff's
Office during the search.
100
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:05,300
This looks like a
ligature of some kind.
101
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,510
It's kind of just
in the vegetation.
102

Oh, that one looks
like a mandible.
103

but it looks like a mandible

on a piece of wood.
105

We've got ribs,
a femur, humerus.

So, Jeff, I've been

113

I went through all the Hamilton
County Sheriff reports.
114
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:01,731
I've gone through transcripts,
and I've gone through
115

I think I've got some
good information for you.

00:08:05,026 --> 00:08:06,528
- Well, I'm interested in
hearing what you got, Steve.
118
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:08,238
- Let's take a look at it here.
119
00:08:08,238 --> 00:08:12,242
This is a transcript
of a conversation
120
00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:16,955
that Baumeister's business
attorney, John Egloff,
121
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,998
a phone call that he made
122
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:20,667
to the Hamilton County
Sheriff's Office.
123
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:23,628
This phone call was made
two days after
124
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,089
Herb Baumeister was
found dead in Canada.
125
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,215
- OK.
126
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:29,426
- And he says that
Herb called him,
127
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:33,096
and he was, like, in a panic.
128
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:39,644
I got a call from Herb
Baumeister last November 29,
129
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,730
and he started out
the conversation
130
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:44,733
by telling me that five
minutes after he hung up,
131
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,693
he wouldn't be around anymore.
132
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:48,695
And he went on to tell me
that there would
133
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:51,364
be a note for his wife behind
a picture of their kids
134
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:55,702
in the den and that
I wasn't supposed to call her
135
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:59,164
until later that evening,
apparently to give him time
136
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:00,874
to do whatever
he was going to do.
137
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,501
I interpreted this as suicide.
138
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,795
He said, "Well,
the businesses are failing.
139
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:07,338
"I can't stand to
watch them being
140
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:09,466
"taken apart by bankruptcy.
141
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,301
"I have just decided that
this is
142
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:13,678
the best way out for me
and my family."
143
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:17,348
Now, what strikes me
about this is that Egloff,
144
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:18,892
him being an
officer of the court
145
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,268
but him being
Baumeister's attorney--
146
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:21,770
- Yeah.
147
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:23,646
- he's not going to make,
like, a frivolous phone call
148
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:25,565
to report something.
149
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:28,026
So there's no questioning
that this is legitimate.
150
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:29,986
I mean, this is
bulletproof, basically.
151
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:32,405
And I guess this is the part
that is a result of his death
152
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:35,617
that kind of becomes relevant
that I wanted to pass along.
153
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:36,743
This is the attorney talking.
154
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,870
He said that, oh, by the way.
155
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:40,538
He said that he
had gotten involved
156
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:44,459
with somebody named Mark
Goodyear, and he spells a name.
157
00:09:48,046 --> 00:09:52,050
And he said, this guy
was a really bad dude.
158
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:54,010
He said,
I woke up one night,
159
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:57,263
and this guy was trying
to strangle me.
160
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:59,265
And he's been kind
of stalking me,
161
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:03,853
and I hope that he doesn't come
after my family after I'm gone.
162
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,563
And there is some
more information
163
00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:08,942
about this guy above the
lockers in my west side store.
164
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:13,238
So none of that--
none of that was ever found.
165
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:15,615
The note to his wife,
whatever was above
166
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,450
the lockers in
the west side store,
167
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,118
none of that's ever been found.
168
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:23,748
- I think Baumeister is saying,
watch this guy, you know?
169
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:25,500
I'm not going to
be around anymore.
170
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,544
It's obvious he was
planning his death.
171
00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:28,962
- Mm-hmm.
172
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,089
For Baumeister to make
this panicked call out
173
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:32,924
of the middle of nowhere
and clearly indicate
174
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:35,009
that he's going
to commit suicide,
175
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:37,011
something had to have changed.
176
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:38,471
Was it the businesses?
177
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,014
No, because they'd been
failing for a while.
178
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:44,018
The only other thing had
to have been Goodyear.
179
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:46,729
Obviously, their relationship
is much more than we ever
180
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:48,690
thought at the very beginning.
181
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:52,068
I think that Mark Goodyear
has become a threat to him.
182
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:55,488
I wonder if Goodyear knows
about all of these murders,
183
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,199
and this is the
only way out of it.
184
00:10:58,199 --> 00:11:01,077
Maybe Baumeister
is thinking,
185
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:03,913
if I'm dead and the police
start finding the bodies
186
00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:06,082
at the farm,
as they were going to do,
187
00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:09,335
Goodyear would go down for it
because of this letter
188
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:11,170
and because of this phone call
to his attorney.
189
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:14,716
I mean, that's a possibility.
190
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:16,467
I mean, the more we get into it,
the more I'm going,
191
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:18,595
what is the deal with this guy?
192
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:23,850
- It really brings to question
Goodyear's relationship
193
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:26,269
with Herb Baumeister.
194
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:29,063
He just didn't get away
from him one time
195
00:11:29,063 --> 00:11:31,399
and then never go back.
196
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,528
Goodyear was more
than just a survivor.
197
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:45,204
[birds chirping]
198
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:58,885
WILLIAMS: My dad disappearing
obviously had an effect on me,
199
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:00,762
and there is some trauma there.
200
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:03,306
I mean, I've gone to my
fair share of therapists
201
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:05,892
over and over the years.
202
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:07,936
According to the Indiana
State Police and the FBI,
203
00:12:07,936 --> 00:12:11,564
my father is still
a missing person.
204
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,650
Publicly, it has been stated
several times that my father
205
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,818
is most likely a victim
of Herb Baumeister,
206
00:12:15,818 --> 00:12:17,779
but we have not received
any definitive proof
207
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:22,742
or remains as a result
of the investigation.
208
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,994
There is not a day
that goes past
209
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:29,624
that I don't wish
I could talk to my dad.
210
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:33,169
This is one of those pictures
that used to be in a thing
211
00:12:33,169 --> 00:12:36,130
at my grandmother's house,
lost for a really long time,
212
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:40,593
and then my cousin found it
and gave it back to me.
213
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,053
That's how he always smiled.
214
00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:45,431
I mean, this is how he was.
215
00:12:45,431 --> 00:12:49,477
Dad was about 5'2", 5'3",
big, huge, cheesy smile.
216
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:52,313
He wore round glasses
sometimes.
217
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:55,608
Very, very loud laugh,
the kind you hear
218
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:59,070
across the room and think
it's obnoxious, actually.
219
00:12:59,070 --> 00:13:00,947
Dad was very much
into construction.
220
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:03,950
He had done major,
major projects,
221
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:06,744
like the White River Canal here
and the Bank One Tower,
222
00:13:06,744 --> 00:13:09,956
airport expansions--
like, big construction projects.
223
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:11,833
Later on in life,
he was a big, big advocate
224
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:16,337
for all things LGBTQ rights.
225
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:20,091
Dad started The Sarj Guide
with his partner, Ray,
226
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:23,636
which was
an LGBTQ-friendly bar guide.
227
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:29,308
And when he and my mom
were divorced,
228
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:32,186
he sat me down and very
matter-of-factly explained
229
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:36,024
to me that he was gay and
that Ray was his husband
230
00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:39,444
and that they lived together
just like husband and wife.
231
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,863
It was just a huge relief
because I think I always knew.
232
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:46,200
It made me feel better that
it made him feel better.
233
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,827
I saw my dad alive
for the last time
234
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:51,080
on my birthday in 1995.
235
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,707
And I remember at the time
being mad at him
236
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:54,917
because he was supposed to
spend my birthday with me,
237
00:13:54,917 --> 00:13:57,336
but he was working instead.
238
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:58,921
But Mom took me to see him.
239
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:01,049
She was very mad at the time
as well about it.
240
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,925
You know, like, I gave him
a hug, and he gave me $20
241
00:14:02,925 --> 00:14:04,302
and said,
I'll see you next weekend.
242
00:14:04,302 --> 00:14:07,430
And that was about it.
243
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:11,684
It was very unusual for my dad
to disappear mysteriously.
244
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:16,689
[foreboding music]
245
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:20,026
So the distinct possibility
he'd been murdered
246
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:25,490
was, you know, there almost
from the gate, from the get-go.
247
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:27,158
I mean, I didn't
believe it at first.
248
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:28,868
I thought, you know,
he's just going to show up.
249
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:31,037
He's on vacation or he went
to London or something.
250
00:14:31,037 --> 00:14:33,831
Who knows?
251
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:36,417
There is no, you know,
TV moment where everything
252
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:39,045
was all tied up in a bow
and said, OK, this happened.
253
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:41,631
There's no closure
to any of it.
254
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:46,928
I wish I could talk to Dad now.
255
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:50,473
I want to tell him
I'm proud of him.
256
00:14:53,476 --> 00:14:57,021
I'm seven years older now
than he ever was.
257
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:58,981
If I saw somebody
that was in their early 30s
258
00:14:58,981 --> 00:15:00,775
doing all this right now,
259
00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:03,986
I'd want to tell them
how proud--
260
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:07,615
and they should keep going.
261
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,163
Whether I wanted
to admit it or not,
262
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:17,542
there's always been just an
anxiety in the back of my brain
263
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:19,335
about it.
264
00:15:19,335 --> 00:15:23,214
And hopefully, we can
put Dad's memory to rest.
265
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,053
AINSWORTH:
This is kind of interesting.
266
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:32,807
So this is a transcript
of an interview
267
00:15:32,807 --> 00:15:35,184
that was done with a guy
by the name of John Fulham.
268
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:40,648
And he talks about when
he was picked up by a guy,
269
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:42,483
and he took him out
to that property.
270
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:44,944
He identified the property
at Fox Hollow.
271
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:47,613
He stayed the night
with him and all that.
272
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:54,036
INVESTIGATOR:
And how long ago was it
273
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:55,746
you thought
you were up at the--
274
00:15:55,746 --> 00:15:58,916
possibly at
the Baumeister property?
275
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:00,585
[fireworks booming]
276
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:22,959
AINSWORTH:
He describes the house
277
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:24,210
and the property completely.
278
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:27,004
I mean,
it's definitely the house.
279
00:17:27,004 --> 00:17:29,090
And he describes the guy.
280
00:17:29,090 --> 00:17:31,884
He describes the truck
that he was in,
281
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:34,720
and they showed him
photographs of Herb Baumeister.
282
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,433
And this guy who's driving the
truck is not Herb Baumeister.
283
00:17:52,154 --> 00:17:54,657
FULHAM: It was the guy--
trying to think.
284
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:57,743
You know, Michael or Mark.
285
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:02,123
And he was house-sitting
for his boss.
286
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:06,294
Clearly, it's not Baumeister.
It's somebody else.
287
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:10,590
And the description of
the male and of the truck
288
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,300
sounds like Mark Goodyear.
289
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:46,042
JELLISON:
In the early '90s,
290
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:49,712
Mark Goodyear was
in his middle 20s.
291
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:52,882
And Mark Goodyear,
in the initial part
292
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:55,301
of the investigation,
was believed
293
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:57,011
to be the sole survivor.
294
00:18:57,011 --> 00:18:59,263
- Right, he's played into that
for years and years and years
295
00:18:59,263 --> 00:19:00,973
that I was lucky to get away,
296
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:02,516
and I'm the only one
that ever got away from him.
297
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:05,311
He killed everybody else.
That's just not true.
298
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:10,149
- So now we have somebody else
that went to that property
299
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:12,735
where we suspect all of
these people were killed.
300
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,362
- Mm-hmm.
301
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:18,282
- And now you've got
John Fulham saying that
302
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:20,826
he went to that home
with Goodyear.
303
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,119
- Mm-hmm.
304
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,664
- And he was able to
walk away as well.
305
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,165
- Right.
306
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,666
JELLISON: That guy would
be a wealth of information.
307
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,210
- He would be a
wealth of information.
308
00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:30,670
I would love to
talk to John Fulham,
309
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:32,254
but he's no longer with us.
310
00:19:32,254 --> 00:19:33,631
- Right.
311
00:19:33,631 --> 00:19:35,883
- And that's the sad part
because there's so much
312
00:19:35,883 --> 00:19:37,885
that could be done with it.
313
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:41,931
And then we have
Mark Goodyear's interview.
314
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:43,724
Oh, my gosh.
315
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,482
AINSWORTH: This is the
first interview that was done
316
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:55,361
by Hamilton County Sheriff's
Office of Mark Goodyear
317
00:19:55,361 --> 00:19:58,614
after the remains
are starting to be found.
318
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:01,659
Up until now,
only Mary Wilson,
319
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:03,452
the detective
from Indianapolis PD,
320
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:04,954
had interviewed him.
321
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:18,551
AINSWORTH: So this detective
is talking about Baumeister
322
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:19,927
and Goodyear when
they first meet
323
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:21,220
and they first
go to the house.
324
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:22,388
He says--
325
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:33,315
AINSWORTH: What he's saying
here is he wasn't abducted.
326
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,025
He wasn't forced to go there.
327
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:36,944
He went there--he went there
of his own volition.
328
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:23,866
- This description that he has
of what happened when he's just
329
00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:27,411
doing this chokehold on him
to make him pass out,
330
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:30,998
that doesn't happen with
auto-erotic asphyxia.
331
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:32,750
That happens in
actual strangulation.
332
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:35,085
The only way you would know that
is if you've seen it before.
333
00:21:56,899 --> 00:22:00,194
AINSWORTH: Seems to me like
he really gets off on that.
334
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:03,364
He just has too much detail
for having only done it once.
335
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:16,669
[laughter]
336
00:23:03,507 --> 00:23:05,050
AINSWORTH:
This is odd to me.
337
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:08,095
So Goodyear says throughout
this whole interview
338
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:10,264
that he is scared to death
of Baumeister.
339
00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:12,766
Why don't you get out
of the house and leave?
340
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,578
AINSWORTH:
Who does that?
341
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:33,996
So you were scared to death,
342
00:23:33,996 --> 00:23:35,789
but you invite him
over for dinner.
343
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:41,211
AINSWORTH: I can't get into
the mind of these detectives
344
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:43,589
as to why they're
not pressing him.
345
00:23:43,589 --> 00:23:45,674
They're not really
challenging him on anything.
346
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:54,975
- They might just be getting
this statement right now
347
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:56,477
and going, OK,
I have to believe that
348
00:23:56,477 --> 00:23:58,228
he was there only once.
349
00:23:58,228 --> 00:24:00,689
But then when he says, then
I invited him to dinner, go--
350
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:03,275
and it's in the same interview,
you did what?
351
00:24:07,529 --> 00:24:09,782
AINSWORTH:
Explain that to me.
352
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:14,328
- Certainly a different
picture than
353
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:16,121
you're the survivor of this--
354
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,123
- Right.
- suspected monster?
355
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:20,626
- Yeah.
So come over and have dinner.
356
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:23,170
- Yeah, come over and let's
cook burgers out on the grill.
357
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:26,632
- Oh, my gosh,
there's so much to it.
358
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:28,717
[sighs] You know the video
that was taken out there
359
00:24:28,717 --> 00:24:30,970
by the paranormal researchers?
360
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:32,721
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
361
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:34,014
- You know, I just
don't even know what--
362
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:36,141
I don't even know where
to start with that.
363
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:22,688
AINSWORTH: He said he knew
he had a gun,
364
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:24,106
but he never saw it.
365
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:28,360
AINSWORTH: And he was trying
to get him in the bathroom
366
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:30,821
to shoot him with the gun
that he kept in the locker
367
00:25:30,821 --> 00:25:33,699
that he never saw.
368
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,493
That doesn't make any sense.
369
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:41,206
Why would you say that if
you were only there once?
370
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,126
That indicates he's been there
more than one time.
371
00:26:02,811 --> 00:26:04,188
AINSWORTH:
Never told the police--
372
00:26:04,188 --> 00:26:06,857
never told the police
any of this stuff.
373
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:11,111
Sure would have been
helpful at the time.
374
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:14,656
So on the video,
375
00:26:14,656 --> 00:26:16,116
I didn't see Goodyear's face
376
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:17,534
because it wasn't really shown
on there.
377
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:25,042
He's doing a home showing,
378
00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:26,543
you know, or a museum tour.
379
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:28,837
You know, I mean,
that's what it seems like,
380
00:26:28,837 --> 00:26:32,049
because he seems very
comfortable in there.
381
00:26:32,049 --> 00:26:34,802
And he's sitting there,
you know, all relaxed,
382
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:37,679
crossing his legs.
383
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:42,601
One of the things I noticed was
he wasn't wearing any shoes.
384
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:45,854
And you know,
he has recently found God.
385
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:08,627
[tense music]
386
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:11,338
AINSWORTH: I started
thinking biblically,
387
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,590
when you take
your shoes off,
388
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:15,300
it's because you're
on holy ground.
389
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,052
JELLISON: Right.
AINSWORTH: You know?
390
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:19,888
Like when Moses saw the
burning bush and God told him,
391
00:27:19,888 --> 00:27:21,849
put the shoes off
thine feet because
392
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:23,183
where thou standest
is holy ground.
393
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:26,228
I'm thinking, I wonder
if he thinks of that house
394
00:27:26,228 --> 00:27:29,439
and those grounds
as being holy ground somehow.
395
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:35,279
JELLISON:
At the very least,
396
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,865
he has an affection
for that property.
397
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:40,117
- Right, and that's a good way
to put it--has an affection.
398
00:27:40,117 --> 00:27:43,203
I was going to say even
a reverence for it.
399
00:27:43,203 --> 00:27:44,663
- Absolutely, yeah.
400
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:47,958
But also, I remember reading
401
00:27:47,958 --> 00:27:51,003
that Goodyear admits
that he lied to the police
402
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:53,589
to help them get a warrant.
403
00:27:53,589 --> 00:27:55,382
He makes that statement.
- Yeah.
404
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:10,981
AINSWORTH: He came out of
the gate lying to them,
405
00:28:10,981 --> 00:28:12,441
and he says it was
because he just
406
00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:13,734
wanted to get their attention.
407
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:15,903
Well, he got their attention,
all right.
408
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:19,615
But he's lying to them
about critical things.
409
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:21,825
So what else is he lying about?
410
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:23,368
I think at
the very minimum, do--
411
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:24,703
- He knew what was happening.
412
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,247
- Right.
413
00:28:29,917 --> 00:28:34,212
And I think he probably was
involved with Baumeister.
414
00:28:39,343 --> 00:28:42,554
WILLIAMS: About probably
a year or two years ago,
415
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:44,222
while I was walking back
into some of the places
416
00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:49,519
that Dad worked on and seeing
what they are now is amazing.
417
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,146
Well, Metro is a
really good example.
418
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:54,232
That building was just
a hollowed-out shell,
419
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:56,318
and they turned it into
something, you know,
420
00:28:56,318 --> 00:28:58,028
completely different.
421
00:28:58,028 --> 00:28:59,571
He loved going into
places like that
422
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:02,199
and seeing what could be done
to have it redone.
423
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:06,161
- Well, it makes me sad because
I liked Jerry a lot.
424
00:29:06,161 --> 00:29:09,206
He was a big part
of the community.
425
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:14,461
Ray Comer was the contractor
remodeling the bar,
426
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:15,963
and Jerry was helping him.
427
00:29:15,963 --> 00:29:18,715
And Jerry also was
helping the owner
428
00:29:18,715 --> 00:29:21,426
of the bar plan how we
were going to lay it out
429
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:22,970
and all that stuff.
430
00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:24,638
And Jerry was the one that
really sat down with us
431
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:27,224
and said, you ought to do
this and this and this.
432
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:28,892
And, you know, we would decide
433
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:31,561
what we really wanted
to do with it.
434
00:29:31,561 --> 00:29:35,941
So he was a good guy.
435
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:40,529
When Ray came in that day
and said Jerry's missing
436
00:29:40,529 --> 00:29:46,034
and we can't find him,
it was surprise, shock.
437
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:49,329
- Ray was extremely distraught.
438
00:29:49,329 --> 00:29:50,747
He went to New Orleans.
439
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:53,667
He went to the Keys
trying to find him.
440
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:55,377
I mean,
if my fiancé disappeared,
441
00:29:55,377 --> 00:29:57,254
I would never stop looking.
442
00:29:57,254 --> 00:29:59,798
I didn't really have
any contact with Ray
443
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,675
immediately after.
444
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:04,177
You know, the family
basically isolated me.
445
00:30:04,177 --> 00:30:05,721
I don't think
they wanted me to hear
446
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:07,556
about what was happening
447
00:30:07,556 --> 00:30:12,436
to shield me from
the reality of it.
448
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:16,440
As an adult,
I started looking into it.
449
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,609
From what I know,
they found Dad's car
450
00:30:19,609 --> 00:30:21,945
in the mall parking lot
451
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:26,366
with quite a bit of cash,
unlocked.
452
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:29,244
Dad's not a big fan of that
mall or malls in general,
453
00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:32,581
and this is not
his part of town, which--
454
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:35,876
all of that was
extremely unusual.
455
00:30:35,876 --> 00:30:39,463
It would appear that
Dad met Herb
456
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:43,300
because Baumeister owned
a couple of thrift stores
457
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:46,303
and Dad was actively involved
in clothing drives
458
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:48,263
and food drives for people
that were displaced
459
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,390
that were LGBTQ
and things like that.
460
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:52,434
And, you know, Dad loved
going to thrift shops
461
00:30:52,434 --> 00:30:54,895
and finding random stuff
that he could repurpose
462
00:30:54,895 --> 00:30:58,940
for the bars or,
you know, whatever.
463
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:02,778
Herb and Dad traveled in
many of the same circles
464
00:31:02,778 --> 00:31:06,698
and, you know, frequented
a lot of the same places.
465
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:08,909
I can totally see Dad going to
some rich guy's farm, you know,
466
00:31:08,909 --> 00:31:10,744
that was going to donate a
bunch of clothes, you know,
467
00:31:10,744 --> 00:31:14,372
for all this and just being
caught up in all of that.
468
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:16,708
I could totally see that
happening very easily.
469
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:22,714
MUSALL: In talking
to different experts,
470
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:27,302
Herb was very calculated
in knowing
471
00:31:27,302 --> 00:31:29,888
what kind of victim
he was looking for.
472
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:32,891
I think he was looking
for guys who were
473
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:34,976
least likely to cause problems.
474
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:37,604
The one thing that
I never understood
475
00:31:37,604 --> 00:31:41,733
was how exactly did he get
these people to go with him.
476
00:32:09,261 --> 00:32:12,389
AINSWORTH: Why would he say
luring them
477
00:32:12,389 --> 00:32:15,934
or enticing them
to come to the property?
478
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:19,646
I mean, it--all indication
is that Baumeister
479
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:21,898
is the one that
picked these people up.
480
00:32:21,898 --> 00:32:24,109
But Goodyear is saying
I didn't entice anybody.
481
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:25,944
Well, somebody did,
482
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:29,489
and I just don't understand
why he would go there.
483
00:32:29,489 --> 00:32:33,410
[suspenseful music]
484
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:36,746
WILLIAMS: My personal belief
is that my dad had
485
00:32:36,746 --> 00:32:40,709
an acquaintance who was friends
with Herb Baumeister,
486
00:32:40,709 --> 00:32:44,462
and that was how he
kind of lured him out.
487
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:46,298
That is my belief, anyway.
488
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:48,675
I have no basis in fact
on that or evidence,
489
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:52,554
but that's my personal thought.
490
00:32:52,554 --> 00:32:54,764
AINSWORTH:
One suspected victim--
491
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:57,058
he's in a relationship,
committed relationship
492
00:32:57,058 --> 00:32:58,852
for four or five years.
493
00:32:58,852 --> 00:33:02,772
Doesn't match any of the other
profiles other than being gay.
494
00:33:02,772 --> 00:33:07,110
And yet, he ends up likely
being a victim of Baumeister.
495
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:09,112
Now, how does that happen?
496
00:33:09,112 --> 00:33:10,405
- Yeah.
497
00:33:10,405 --> 00:33:12,407
- I heard from
friends of my dad's
498
00:33:12,407 --> 00:33:17,120
that Mark Goodyear was
friends with Dad and Ray
499
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,080
through Our Place, maybe.
500
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,376
- I think that Mark Goodyear
was very well-known
501
00:33:23,376 --> 00:33:25,295
in the gay community
at that time.
502
00:33:25,295 --> 00:33:30,926
So was Baumeister using
Goodyear as that bait?
503
00:33:30,926 --> 00:33:32,260
- As bait.
504
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:33,803
That's exactly what
I was going to say.
505
00:33:33,803 --> 00:33:35,013
Is he using them as bait?
He says, hey.
506
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:36,097
I know this rich guy.
507
00:33:36,097 --> 00:33:37,515
You ought to see this house.
508
00:33:37,515 --> 00:33:40,393
And they go out to the house.
509
00:33:45,065 --> 00:33:48,401
[insects chirring]
510
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:50,695
[doorbell rings]
511
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:51,863
- Hi, Rob?
- Yes.
512
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,156
- Steve Ainsworth.

these were his friends
that were disappearing.
607
00:38:30,558 --> 00:38:33,394
And I think eventually,
he put it together
608

that this might be
what's happening to them.
609

human remains.
686
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,493
- Right.
687
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:37,203
- You know, I'm really
trying to focus it
688
00:41:37,203 --> 00:41:38,621
on that cause of death.
689
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:41,791
- Mm-hmm.
690
00:41:41,791 --> 00:41:43,835
JELLISON:
I don't discredit the theory
691
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:46,963
that this went on
in the pool.
692
00:41:46,963 --> 00:41:49,716
But I got to keep going back to
693
00:41:49,716 --> 00:41:55,388
how does one man
drag a body or take a body
694
00:41:55,388 --> 00:41:58,725
100, 200 yards into the woods?
695
00:41:58,725 --> 00:42:00,560
I mean--
- That's my question.
696
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,354
- But also, I keep going back
to these handcuffs,
697
00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:06,441
these ligatures,
these shotgun shells
698
00:42:06,441 --> 00:42:07,900
that were found back there.
699
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:10,695
And that certainly speaks to me
700
00:42:10,695 --> 00:42:14,115
the solution to dragging
somebody back there.
701
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:15,366
- Right, right.
702
00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:16,409
You don't have to
drag him back there.
703
00:42:16,409 --> 00:42:17,827
You walk him back there.
704
00:42:17,827 --> 00:42:18,870
JELLISON:
You make him walk back there.
705
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:20,371
AINSWORTH:
Right, right.
706
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,123
You know, and the other thing
I was thinking when I was there,
707
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:24,792
everything that we have
comes from Goodyear--
708
00:42:24,792 --> 00:42:27,837
everything about the pool,
everything about the victims.
709
00:42:27,837 --> 00:42:30,339
He could be making
all of this up.
710
00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:33,342
Now, this is probably
the most damaging statement
711
00:42:33,342 --> 00:42:35,261
of all of these things.
712
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:38,139
This is a statement
with a guy
713
00:42:38,139 --> 00:42:40,058
by the name of Leroy Bray,
again,
714
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,769

Sheriff's detectives.
715
00:42:42,769 --> 00:42:47,648

in the downtown gay community.

So he goes out to
this place one time.
718
00:42:54,030 --> 00:42:56,949
There's supposed to be a
surprise party of some kind,
719
00:42:56,949 --> 00:42:58,659
and there's drinking
and everything.
720
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:02,080
And he says, "I was given
a drink of whiskey and Coke.
721
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,041
"First, I had a Coke, and
I told him I wasn't drinking.

00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:07,126

into drinking

the second drink.

to step outside.

a barbecue or something.

And then I took off running

He says that guy
was Herb Baumeister.

JELLISON:
This is crazy.
755
00:44:37,383 --> 00:44:41,679
So this guy is saying
he watched

a person that he assumed
to be Herb Baumeister

right in front of him?

- Mm-hmm, on the patio,
because this guy,

00:44:49,562 --> 00:44:52,648
Leroy Bray, he said he dated
Herb a couple of times.
760
00:44:52,648 --> 00:44:54,984
So he knew who he was.
761
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:59,238
I mean, the whole thing is
so bizarre and so odd, right?
762
00:44:59,238 --> 00:45:01,657
OK, so this is even better,
right here.
763
00:45:01,657 --> 00:45:04,410
Detective says,
"OK, did anybody else
764
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:06,370
participate in the shooting?"

00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:07,830
"Only the people
that saw it happen.
766
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:09,248
They must have."
767
00:45:09,248 --> 00:45:11,626
"And Mark Goodyear saw
the shooting happen?"
768
00:45:11,626 --> 00:45:13,961
He says, "Yes.
769
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:16,589
"He was standing right behind
the kid when it happened.
770
00:45:16,589 --> 00:45:19,967
As a matter of fact,
they held his arms."
771
00:45:19,967 --> 00:45:23,554
- So Goodyear held
this guy's arms--

- Mm-hmm.

00:45:25,097 --> 00:45:29,393
- while we assume
Baumeister shot him.

00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:32,313
Have you seen anything
that indicates
775
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:36,025

directly confronted Goodyear
776
00:45:36,025 --> 00:45:38,194
about this statement
that this guy made?

- No.
No, there's absolutely nothing.
778
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:41,864
And the statements I've seen,
the reports I've seen,
779
00:45:41,864 --> 00:45:44,742
nobody talked to
any of these people.
780
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:48,204
And this is the only place that
that shooting is mentioned.
781
00:45:48,204 --> 00:45:51,415
I see Goodyear's name in
almost everything that I read--
782
00:45:51,415 --> 00:45:54,543
all of the interviews,
all of the supplemental reports,
783
00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:56,045
almost all of them.
784
00:45:56,045 --> 00:45:57,922
Every single person
they talked to--
785
00:45:57,922 --> 00:45:59,548
"Yeah, I know Mark Goodyear."
786
00:45:59,548 --> 00:46:02,426
He did this or he did that,
and he was with Baumeister,
787
00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:05,054
and he did all of
this other stuff.
788
00:46:05,054 --> 00:46:07,306
So here's where
I am with Goodyear.

00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:08,516
There are so many things
that you could

a run at Goodyear,

but I don't have
the authority anymore.

If somebody can interview him,
797
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:28,744
I would love to show what
all of the contradictions are
798
00:46:28,744 --> 00:46:31,956
and then just start hammering
him with those contradictions,
799
00:46:31,956 --> 00:46:34,333

flustered very quickly.
