Richard Estep on Fox Hollow Farm: Inside the Serial Killer's Mansion In this episode, we sit down with Richard Estep, paranormal investigator and author of The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, to explore one of America's most disturbing true crime stories. Fox Hollow Farm, located in Westfield, Indiana, was once the idyllic suburban estate of businessman Herb Baumeister. But in the 1990s, this home became the backdrop for a series of murders that shocked the Midwest. Young men from Indianapolis's gay community vanished without a trace, until investigators discovered the horrifying truth: the remains of at least 11 victims, and possibly 20 or more, scattered across the property. Baumeister's double life — successful entrepreneur by day, predator by night — unraveled in 1996 when police searched the estate. Shortly after, Herb fled to Canada and took his own life, leaving behind no confession and a chilling legacy. Richard Estep's book The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, co-written with current property owner Rob Graves, dives deep into both the true crime history and the paranormal phenomena reported at the estate. In our interview, Estep shares insights from his research and investigations: The chilling discoveries investigators made after Baumeister's death. Survivor accounts of Baumeister's attacks. The eerie activity reported by the Graves family and tenants who lived in the home after the murders. What Fox Hollow Farm teaches us about the lingering impact of violent crime. This conversation isn't just about hauntings—it's about the intersection of crime, psychology, and the shadows left behind at Fox Hollow Farm. Whether you're drawn to the true crime, the paranormal, or both, Estep's perspective sheds light on why this case continues to haunt investigators, families, and readers decades later.

Lesen Sie einen Ausschnitt aus dem Manuskript: ERZÄHLERIN Endlich, nach beinahe 16 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit ist es soweit. - Jetzt, 1843, ist sie fertiggestellt: Die königliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek in München. ZITATOR (Architekturführer) Dieser in den großartigsten Verhältnissen angelegte Bau wurde im italienischen-mittelalterlichen Style ausgeführt. - ERZÄHLERIN - schreibt ein zeitgenössischer bautechnischer Führer - ZITATOR (Architekturführer) - In seinen ausgedehnten Räumlichkeiten umschließt das Gebäude die außerordentlich reiche, gegenwärtig 1.300.000 Bände zählende Staatsbibliothek. MUSIK 1. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) Da denkt man - riesengroß - da müssen alle Bücher der Welt hineinpassen - ERZÄHLERIN Sagt Egon Greipl, (ehemaliger) oberster Denkmalschützer in Bayern. - 2. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) - und dann geht man hinein und sieht, da ist eine Menge Platz verschenkt worden für eine Treppe und solche repräsentative Sachen. MUSIK ERZÄHLERIN Eine Prachttreppe, die seinerzeit nur der König benutzen durfte. An ihr hat man bis zuletzt gearbeitet. 54 Stufen muss die Majestät überwinden, um aus dem dunklen Eingangsbereich in das Licht, zu den Büchern, zur Wissenschaft zu gelangen. - Obwohl der König in den letzten Jahren meist ein schwieriger Auftraggeber gewesen ist, ständig an den Plänen etwas ändert oder ändern lässt, die Treppe findet selbst der Architekt so schlecht nicht: ZITATOR GÄRTNER Für die Haupttreppe stehe ich gut, das ist die pompöseste die wenigstens in Deutschland existiert. Diese gefällt mir selbst. MUSIK ERZÄHLERIN Und das ist der Baumeister des 152 Meter langen und 24 Meter hohen Monumentalbaus: Friedrich von Gärtner. Die Bibliothek: sein erster Auftrag für König Ludwig I. - Vor 16 Jahren, 1827, ließ Ludwig den gar nicht mehr so jungen Architekten gewähren: Gärtner soll nun endlich sein erstes Gebäude überhaupt bauen. Und dann gleich ein so großes. 3. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ein riesiger Bau. Und die besondere Pointe oder Gemeinheit könnte man auch sagen, liegt darin, dass er diesen Bau an der von Klenze geplanten Ludwigsstraße vorgesehen hat... ERZÄHLERIN - so Winfried Nerdinger, Architekturhistoriker aus München. - Die Ludwigsstraße, sie ist des Königs Lieblingskind, sie soll seine Prachtmeile werden... 4. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Klenze hat ja diese Straße komplett geplant, das war "seine Straße", er hat den ganzen südlichen Teil bereits mit Neubauten bestückt und jetzt mitten hinein in seine Straße, der größte Bau überhaupt bis dahin, die Staatsbibliothek, da bekommt ausgerechnet sein Konkurrent den Auftrag. Und das war sicherlich für Klenze ein Schlag. MUSIKAKZENT ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Leo Klenze, zwei Baumeister in königlichen Diensten - ein Berufsleben lang lauern sie wie Skylla und Charybdis, die beiden Ungeheuer, an der Meerenge von Messina. Und, um im mythologischen Bild zu bleiben, kein königlicher Auftrag soll an ihnen ungeschoren vorbei kommen. 5. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Die waren beide nicht von Pappe, um es mal salopp zu formulieren und haben mit allen Mitteln sich gegenseitig bekämpft und für ihre Karriere gekämpft. ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist er alt, da wird der junge begabte Nachwuchsarchitekt Friedrich Gärtner Ludwig vorgestellt. Und wer bringt ihn zum Kronprinzen? Der 7 Jahre ältere Klenze. Der, ein protestantischer Preuße, ist schon seit einem Jahr in Diensten des Königshofs. ZITATOR GÄRTNER Dass dieser zum Faktotum geworden ist, ersah ich schon längst, den Grad aber ersah ich da näher. 6. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Als drittes muss man immer noch den König mit einbeziehen, genauer gesagt, den Kronprinzen, der beide letztlich wie Schachfiguren in seinem Spiel benutzt hat. ZITATOR GÄRTNER Ich sah nur zu deutlich, dass einem schlechten Schachspieler leicht eine Figur genommen und die andere dafür hingesetzt werden kann. MUSIKAKZENT ERZÄHLERIN Über Gärtners Karriereleiter sind wir Sprosse um Sprosse relativ gut informiert. Denn mehr als 30 Jahre lang schreibt er Briefe, an Martin von Wagner. - 7. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Nun: der Martin von Wagner war eigentlich der Kunsthändler des Kronprinzen in Rom. ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner ist der Freund von Friedrichs Vater, dem Hofbauintendanten Andreas Gärtner. Und auch wenn die Mutter Bedenken gegenüber Wagner äußert, Friedrich beschwichtigt: ZITATOR GÄRTNER Deine Warnung, gute Muttern über Wagner ist recht gut, allein sei versichert, sie war nicht nötig. So kenne ich meine Leute noch. Wagner ist ein guter, ernsthaft rechtschaffener Mann, allein nie für einen Freund geschaffen. ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Wagner werden trotzdem Freunde, gute Freunde. Netter Nebeneffekt für Gärtner: Wagner hat einen sehr guten Draht zum Kronprinzen. - Gärtner macht in seinen Briefen aus seinem Herzen keine Mördergrube. Winfried Nerdinger: 8. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ich glaube auch, dass man natürlich mit gewissen Abstrichen diesen Briefwechsel als ziemlich wichtige authentische Aussage nehmen kann, weil er sich da einem Freund geöffnet hat - Wir können da doch relativ tiefe Einblick in das Gefühlsleben Gärtners tun und in das Intrigenspiel bei Hofe. ERZÄHLERIN Über 100 Mal wird die Post von Gärtner die Zeiten überdauern, die Post von Wagner retour dagegen nicht. - Kennen gelernt haben sich die beiden in Rom. - ZITATOR GÄRTNER Rom ist nebenbei gesagt der herrlichste Ort, um einem als Mensch die besten Lebensregeln zu erteilen! MUSIK ERZÄHLERIN Im Oktober 1814 kommt Gärtner nach Rom. Nach seinem Architekturstudium in München bei Carl von Fischer, nach Lehrjahren in Paris, zieht der 22-Jährige in die deutsche Künstlerkolonie. "Quartiere degli Infedeli", "Viertel der Abtrünnigen", nennen es die Römer, wegen der vielen deutschen Protestanten. Der Katholik Gärtner kennt bald alle Trattorien und Weinstuben rund um seine Wohnung in der Via Sistina, nahe der spanischen Treppe. Jetzt will er wieder lernen, dieses Mal aber das Leben: MUSIK ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der Durst war groß, der Wein war gut und so wurde allgemeiner Jubel unter der Gesellschaft. Eine Gitarre, die uns begleitete, spielte bald ihren Saltarello, bald ihren Walzer... ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner nimmt Friedrich in seine Obhut, im Auftrag von Andreas Gärtner, dessen Vater. Er zeigt ihm die mediterrane Lebensart, er bringt ihn in die Kreise der Rom-liebenden deutschen Künstler. Die feiern sich und "ihren" bayerischen Kronprinzen, den Kunstmäzen, am liebsten im Caffè Greco - keine zwei Minuten von der Wohnung Gärtners entfernt. Hier treffen sich auch die Mitglieder eines von Martin von Wagner initiierten Geheimbundes: "Nemesis" heißt er : MUSIK 9. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Diese Künstler haben sich die Nemesianer genannt. - Die Nemesis als ihre Göttin, die dem einzelnen das Geschick zuweist, dem einen das Gute, dem anderen das schlechte. So etwas, was für Künstler ja ganz wichtig ist: Der eine steigt auf, der andere steigt ab... ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis gibt sich zunächst wankelmütige, was das Schicksal des jungen Friedrich betrifft. Der "Orlando furioso", wie ihn seine Freunde jetzt rufen, genießt zwar in Rom das süße Leben in vollen Zügen, ganz untätig ist er freilich nicht. Er zeichnet etliche antike Ruinen, fährt nach Pompeji und Sizilien, besteigt die Vulkane Italiens. Und er beteiligt sich - auf sanftes Drängen seines Vaters - am Wettbewerb zum Bau der Münchner Glyptothek. Mit Hilfe seines Vaters, der die Pläne ein wenig korrigiert und nachbessert, wird sein Entwurf vom Preisgericht als der für den Bau geeignetste befunden. Den Auftrag bekommt, allem zu Trotz, wie kann es anders sein, Leo Klenze. MUSIK ZITATOR GÄRTNER Thermometer 5 Grad Beaumont - Pluvianopolis am 12ten des 8. Regenmonats 1817 nach Christi Geburt - Parameter (wie gewöhnlich): Regen, Hagel, Wind. ERZÄHLERIN Gärtner ist nach fast drei Jahren Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus wieder in München. In Pluvianopolis, der Regenstadt. Er schreibt an Wagner nach Rom: ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der ewigen Nemesis zum Gruße! Ohne Nachrichten aus Rom bin ich ein geschlagener Mensch. Oh große Nemesis! Was habe ich verschuldet, dass du gerade jetzt mich ins Exil geschickt, wo ich dickes Bier um 12 Uhr saufen muss. MUSIK ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis meint es tatsächlich nicht gut mit ihm. Nicht nur dickes Bier und saurer Wein schlagen ihm auf den Magen: In München, im Exil, findet er keine adäquate Anstellung, obwohl sein Vater immer noch königlich bayerischer Hofbauintendant ist, also de facto der oberste Baumeister. Und er würde so gerne in dessen Fußstapfen treten. ZITATOR GÄRTNER Es ist traurig, wenn man mehrere Jahre sich bemüht, um etwas zu lernen und am Ende wieder dort hingestellt ist, von wo man ausgegangen. Seit meiner Zurückkunft sitze ich da und lege die Hände in den Schoß. ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist Gärtner mittlerweile. Er sehnt sich nach Rom. Hier im kalten Norden, in München: - "Ein Windloch". Die Mutter stirbt. Er fühlt sich dazu verpflichtet, die Familie finanziell zu unterstützen, lebt aber im Gegenteil vom Geld des Vaters. Und dann auch noch das: ZITATOR GÄRTNER Mit unverändertem Gemüte durchlas ich heute die Entlassung meines alten und würdigen Vaters von seinem treuen Dienste und dessen Erstattung durch Klenze mit einer vermehrten Besoldung von 3000 fl. 10. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Aus den Briefen, die er an seinen Freund Martin von Wagner schrieb, kommt ganz klar heraus, dass diese Verdrängung seines Vaters als Hofbauintend

Herbert Baumeister – erfolgreicher Unternehmer, Ehemann, Vater. Nach außen hin führte er das Leben eines typischen Bürgers. Doch hinter den gepflegten Fassaden von Fox Hollow Farm, einem abgelegenen Anwesen in Indiana, schien etwas ganz anderes vorzugehen. Mark Goodyear war ein zentraler Zeuge im Fall um die vermissten Männer. Schon früh verfolgte Goodyear die Spur verschwundener Männer aus der LGBTQ+-Szene von Indianapolis. Gemeinsam mit dem Privatdetektiv Virgil Vandagriff war er maßgeblich daran beteiligt, den Verdacht auf Baumeister zu lenken. Doch was steckt hinter den Aussagen von Goodyear? Konnte er dabei helfen den Fall zu lösen? All dies erfahrt ihr in unserem zweiten Teil über die Fox Hollow Farm und Herbert Baumeister.
"You wake up at 5:20, you put your tee in the ground, you hit your shot, and then the four of you walk off to the ball and you hit it again, and you keep on going. It's very simplistic. You go left foot, right foot until you're finished. 72 holes."Jason has tackled one of golf's most brutal endurance tests 13 times: the Bandon Solstice. This isn't your casual weekend round. Participants play 72 holes of walking-only golf in a single day, starting at 5:20 AM on the longest day of the year at Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon. What makes this particularly nasty? Try 50,000+ steps across four championship courses with no carts allowed. Jason learned the hard way when his caddie bailed after 36 holes during his first attempt, forcing him to carry his own bag the rest of the way. The preparation is serious business: "You need to eat a lot of food the night before. You should be uncomfortable when you leave the dinner table" because you'll burn around 10,000 calories during the challenge! Weather can be absolutely brutal. Jason recalls 60-mph winds so fierce that "the sand looked like water" flowing across the beach below the clifftop courses. Getting in requires either legacy status (like Jason earned by pestering the original GM into making it official) or winning what's essentially a lottery that sells out within minutes. The waiting list is rumored to be 10 years deep."It's absolutely doable to such a broad range of fitness levels," Jason insists, though surviving involves equal parts physical endurance and mental fortitude. Expect rewards in the form of gift bags, stories at McKees Pub, and bragging rights for completing golf's ultimate marathon!For more information about the Bandon Dunes Solstice, please visit: https://bandondunesgolf.com/golf/golf-events/For more information on our 2026 Desert Classic Tournament, please visit: DesertClassicTournament.comSubscribe to our FREE Female Golfer Facebook Group: First TCrew [Behind the Scenes of Women's Golf]Get in touch!Instagram: @tori_totlisTikTok: @tori_totlisYouTube: @tori.totlisWebsite: CompeteConfidenceGolf.comBe sure you are subscribed to our podcast to automatically receive the NEW episodes weekly!!!
Mitten vor der Stadt Hamburg auf demStückgutfrachter Cap San Diego in einer Passagierkabine, deren Eigengeräusche dem Podcast einen besonderen Sound verleihen: DBZ-Chefredakteur Michael Schuster und BDB-Präsident Christoph Schild im Gespräch. Im Kontext des 100-jährigen Bestehens des größten deutschen Berufsverbands in der Planerinnenbranche sprechen die beiden über Gegenwart und Zukunft und ein bisschen auch über die Vergangenheit. Schwerpunkte sind Themen wie der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel und Forderung nach mehr Resilienz. Es geht um eine neue und doch schon so alte Einfachheit im Bauen. Es geht um den Wohnungsbau und welche Impulse da gesetzt werden müssen und und und. Natürlich sprechen die beiden auch über den Verband selbst, seine Aktivitäten, Perspektiven und die Handelnden, die dem BDB ein ganz eigenes Gesicht verleihen.
Zweifel und Entfremdun Man kann sie nicht lieben und nicht hassen, diese Halbhelden in Gerhart Hauptmanns "Michael Kramer". Sie wollen hoch hinaus, ins Reich des Geistes. Dabei verlieren sie den festen bürgerlichen Boden unter den Füßen und hetzen noch den zu Tode, der sich vielleicht in jenem Reich hätte halten können. Es ist der Sohn des Michael Kramer, eines Lehrers an der Königlichen Hochschule. Abend für Abend sitzt er in einer Kneipe und konterfeit Assessoren, Baumeister und Junker. Sie aber verspotten ihn. Erst an seinem Totenbett erkennt man die edlen Züge des Künstlers.

In den 1990er-Jahren verschwanden in der Umgebung Indianapolis zahlreiche junge Männer. Viele von ihnen waren homosexuell, und es gab Hinweise, dass sie zuletzt mit einer mysteriösen Person gesehen worden waren – jemand, der sich als „Brian Smart“ ausgab. Doch hinter Brian Smart steckte in wirklichkeit jemand ganz anderes. Herbert Baumeister war ein scheinbar unauffälliger Familienvater und Geschäftsmann aus Indiana. Er lebte mit seiner Frau und den drei gemeinsamen Kindern auf einem weitläufigen Anwesen namens Fox Hollow Farm. Trotz seines Erfolgs mit einem eigenen Secondhand-Laden und eines bürgerlichen Lebensstils war etwas an Baumeister... seltsam. Schon in seiner Jugend hatte er mit psychischen Problemen zu kämpfen, doch darüber wurde nie viel gesprochen – und auch später fiel er manchmal durch merkwürdiges Verhalten auf. Was genau hinter dieser Fassade vorging, blieb lange verborgen.
We make thousands of decisions every day, but under pressure, those choices become harder, and more important.When I first came across Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton's story, what struck me wasn't just what she's achieved, it's how she thinks under pressure.In this episode, I unpack a habit I took from her years on the frontline of the fire service, one that has helped her make life-or-death decisions and one we can all use in our everyday lives. It's a habit built not on instinct or speed, but on clarity.Sabrina taught me that when we freeze under pressure, it's rarely because we don't care, it's because we care so much, we don't want to get it wrong. Whether you're managing a team, making a personal change, or just trying to feel less overwhelmed in high-stakes situations, this conversation will help you understand how to make better choices under pressure, and why the smartest leaders aren't the fastest, they're the most prepared.We explore:How fear disrupts our thinkingWhy we freeze in critical momentsThe power of the pauseA decision-making tool you can use todayWhat it means to lead with clarity, not just speedThis one's for anyone facing the hard calls, and wanting to meet them with confidence.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Stress and cognitive flexibility: The role of the prefrontal cortex, (Arnsten, A.F.T 2009)Decision Fatigue Exhausts Self-Regulatory Resources, (Baumeister, R.F., Vohs, K.D., et al 1998) Stress Promotes Habit-Based Behavior (Schwabe, L., Wolf, O.T, 2009)The Timing of Stress and Decision-Making (Pabst, S., Brand, M., Wolf, O.T, 2013)Listen to the full episode with Sabrina Cohen-Hatton: https://pod.fo/e/18cd7c

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game. But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook. So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

Im heutigen Zufalls-Bibelspruch wird gebaut. Ein schlichter, fast technischer Satz, der da steht – und doch voller Bedeutung. «Bauen wir auf das Richtige im Leben?», möchte Moderator Chris Strauch wissen. «Und braucht Gott eigentlich prunkvolle Bauten?» Pfarrer Josias Burger erweist sich einmal mehr als Baumeister der treffenden Antworten. Und dann wäre da noch dieses Malheur – kurz vor Beginn der Aufzeichnung: Josias Burger stand tatsächlich vor verschlossener Tür. Wurde da allenfalls bei den Bauarbeiten gepfuscht? Auch davon mehr – in dieser Folge.

Statt Zukäufe und Multiples-Arbitrage steht nun echte operative Value Creation hoch im Kurs. Was das bedeutet? Und ob das klassische „Buy and Build“ damit Geschichte ist? Das erfahren Sie beim Deep Dive in das Thema Value Creation mit Steffen Kroner, Managing Director im Bereich Private Equity Performance Improvement bei Alvarez & Marsal.

This episode stars Kurt Baumeister (Twilight Of The Gods, Pax Americana). It was recorded over the Zoom between the This Podcast Will Change Your Life home studio in Chicago, IL and Baumeister's home in greater Philadelphialand in February 2025.
In the mid-90s, several men vanished from Indianapolis-area gay bars. Police were piqued after a man claimed he was nearly strangled during sex with Herb Baumeister. Investigators found bones throughout the woods of his secluded horse farm, but before they could question him Baumeister died by suicide in Canada.In 2022, a local coroner renewed the effort to identify victims from the 10,000 bone fragments found on the property. But it revived an unanswered question: how did Baumeister get the bodies of his victims into the woods by himself? And what should we make of the peculiar man who claimed to have escaped being the killer's victim?From ABC News Studios and streaming on Hulu, “The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer” looks back at the incomplete story of Herb Baumeister's crimes. It follows those helping victims' families find closure, while also diving into the biggest hole of the original investigation. The series builds toward a confrontation with an unreliable narrator many suspect is lying about his involvement in the mystery.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE FOX HOLLOW MURDERS" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: Why Don't We Do It In The Road Road.

Happy Spooky Wednesday! We're continuing our True Crime January with the location known as Fox Hollow Farm, formerly owned by the infamous serial killer Herb Baumeister. Baumeister, despite appearing to be an average family-minded businessman, murdered several men and disposed of their bodies right in the yard where his children played. When it seemed he was going to be caught, he left and took his own life. The tragedies he inflicted have left people to believe that the land he owned is now haunted, but there doesn't seem to be much evidence to support it. So is it actually haunted and the ghosts just aren't showing themselves? Or is this human nature to apply the paranormal to a place of darkness? And that's the case, why do we do it?
„Wussten Sie, dass Ihre Wand mit altem Müll gefüllt ist?“, fragte der Techniker ungläubig. Er war gekommen, um unseren defekten Heizkessel zu reparieren. Dabei hatte er entdeckt, dass der Vorbesitzer beim Einbau des Kessels gepfuscht hatte. Ein Hohlraum in der Außenwand war mit Papier, Pappe und Plastik gefüllt und dann einfach zubetoniert worden. Es war das jüngste in einer Reihe von teuren Problemen, die wir entdeckt hatten. Offensichtlich hatten die Vorbesitzer an allen Ecken und Enden gespart.

In 1998, Psychologist Roy Baumeister conducted a foundational study that showed decision-making depletes cognitive resources, much like physical exertion depletes muscles. Baumeister's studies found that decision fatigue leads to impulsive choices (gravitating toward immediate rewards or default options) or avoidance of decision-making (procrastination or refusal to choose).For example, judges in a 2011 study were more likely to grant parole early in the day, and less likely as they became mentally fatigued, demonstrating how mental depletion affects critical decision-making.So, preplan what you can. Limit excess decision making. Account for much needed rest + recovery. Rely on default decisions where applicable. Know + respect your limits. Practice mindfulness + compassion. Be patient. Remember you're human.

Melitta Baumeister and Henry Zankov, the 2023 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner and runner-up, are two trailblazing designers working at the intersection of quality and artistry, exploring the tension between fantasy and commercial viability one thoughtful design at a time. Baumeister, a celebrated designer known for her sustainable and ethical approach, launched her eponymous brand in 2011. Her innovative designs merge modern aesthetics with a commitment to environmental consciousness, setting a high standard for sustainable fashion. Henry Zankov, who debuted his label in 2019, combines avant-garde design with exceptional craftsmanship. His background—from his Russian roots to his American influences—shapes his unique, trend-defying vision. Both designers present a singular take on the importance of intention, curiosity, and sculpture—and how to run a label as a business. For Zankov, fashion's ability to express intention is what's contemporary now, while Baumeister sees “being concerned about the future” as the zeitgeist. Episode Highlights: Born into a family of tailors in Germany, Baumeister studied tailoring and fashion from an early age. Zankov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and arrived in the US at the age of nine. Growing very close to New York City in the '90s, his first interactions with English and the West were mediated through MTV. Launching his own label in 2019, Zankov was interested in creating a recognizable visual language unique to his perspective after working as a consultant for years. To Baumeister, production difficulties are “finding the right people to work with; being so many positions in one, from the production manager to the pattern maker to handling sales; understanding even how wholesale and fashion is working.” Zankov speaks about the need to “reset” how we consume, living slower and more intentionally curated lifestyles. Regarding the tension between fantasy and commercial viability, Baumeister says her solution—at the intersection of artistry and sales—is “all in the fabric.” Zankov starts with a concept every season, aiming toward a curious customer with inner soulfulness and wisdom. Both designers cite the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund as an incredible support for their creative practice. Baumeister notes that wholesale gives more reach and territory, while direct-to-customer sales offer more constructive feedback and relationship-building opportunities. Zankov highlights the importance of using both, though DTC allows him to make more accessible garments. Zankov sees fashion's ability to express intention as what's contemporary now, while Baumeister sees “being concerned about the future” as the zeitgeist. Learn more about your ad choices.

In a significant development, the Hamilton County Coroner announced that a bone fragment from the 10,000 human remains recovered from the farm of alleged serial killer Herb Baumeister has been identified as belonging to Jeffrey A. Jones, who was reported missing in August 1993. Jones is the 12th confirmed victim among the remains found at Fox Hollow Farm in 1996. Advancements in DNA technology made the identification possible, revitalizing efforts to name more victims. Coroner Jeff Jellison highlighted that three victims have been identified recently, and four more DNA profiles have been submitted to the FBI for potential matches. Experts from the FBI, Indiana State Police Laboratory, University of Indianapolis, and Texas-based Othram Laboratory collaborate on this effort. "This investigation is extremely challenging due to the condition of the remains," Jellison stated, noting that many were found burnt and crushed. Despite these obstacles, the team remains committed to identifying the victims. Key to the investigation was an informant, Tony Harris, who met Baumeister, posing as "Brian Smart," at a gay bar and later escaped an attempted strangulation at Fox Hollow Farm. Harris reported the incident to authorities, but the police struggled to locate the farm based on his description. It wasn't until over a year later that Harris encountered "Brian Smart" again, providing a crucial tip to the police. Virgil Vandagriff, a retired Marion County detective who had previously investigated missing queer men in the area, including Goodlet, told local NBC affiliate WTHR that when Harris spotted "Smart" the second time, he managed to record "Smart's" license plate number. This information was instrumental in identifying "Brian Smart" as Herbert Baumeister. By this time, Baumeister's marriage of more than 20 years to his wife Julie had all but fallen apart. The couple had three children, including a 15-year-old son who made a grisly discovery in the woods behind their Fox Hollow home nearly two years before their 1996 divorce. According to local ABC affiliate WRTV, in 1994, around the same time Indianapolis police began searching for a serial killer targeting gay men, Baumeister's son found a human skull on their property. Detectives reported that Julie Baumeister instructed her son to leave the skull in the woods until his father returned home. When she later confronted Herbert Baumeister, he claimed it was a remnant from his father's medical practice. Julie accepted this explanation for two years, but reconsidered upon filing for divorce. Initially, the couple had rebuffed police attempts to search the property, but once Herbert was away, Julie allowed the search. Police then discovered a skull, teeth, and other bone fragments. At this point, Baumeister, had fled to Ontario, Canada. Once there, police say he killed himself. He left a suicide note at the scene but made no mention of his victims, only mentioning his failing thrift store business and marriage. The victims' families had been waiting over a quarter century for answers, Jellison said, and he was determined to bring them closure. In fact, it was Allen Livingston's cousin who approached Jellison last year, urging him to expedite the identification process. Livingston's mother, Sharon, now in her mid-70s and long holding onto hope for information about her son, had been diagnosed with two forms of terminal cancer, the cousin explained. Sharon told WTHR in 2022 that she kept a landline in her home for more than 30 years because it was the only number her son knew when he disappeared, as cell phones weren't common at the time. She reported him missing just days after not hearing from him. “I know that man got him, I just know,” Sharon said of Baumeister in a 2022 interview. “I'm pretty sure they are going to find him. I just know they are.” In October, Jellison expressed amazement after positively confirming Allen Livingston's remains, marking the first positive identification since the 1990s. “What are the odds, out of 10,000 remains? Out of 10,000, we selected 44 and the first identification is a person from the family that initiated this whole thing,” he said. “Where does that come from?” Jellison said his office initially celebrated the success of identifying Livingston, but the joy was quickly tempered by the realization that another murder victim had been found. The current owner of Fox Hollow has continued to find fragments and submits them to authorities. The investigation into Baumeister's activities has revealed at least 25 victims from the remains found on his property. By 1999, police had linked Baumeister to 16 missing men whose bodies were found in streams across Indiana and Ohio. Renewed efforts to identify more victims began in November 2022, with Jellison partnering with forensic labs to extract DNA from the remains. Jellison's team continues to urge those with missing loved ones from that period to contact the coroner's office, hoping to bring closure to more families after decades of uncertainty.
