    There’s 100% going to be a movie on this.

    The killer frequented gay bars while having a wife and kid(s?).

    The friend of one of the victims actually suspected this guy, went home with him to investigate under the guise of a hookup.

    Was attacked and escaped by playing dead, but then since the location was rural (for being in a city, it’s just how Indiana is) he couldn’t lead cops there and the killer used a fake name.

    Years lter he saw the killer driving around, recognized him, and got the plate.

    When cops contacted the killer, he fled to Canada and killed himself, suicide note blamed a failing business.

    They just pulled the human remains, and the very first ID they got was for the friend of the guy who caught the killer…

    Herb Baumeister is accused of luring young men to his home in the 1980s and 1990s and murdering them. He took his own life in 1996 before authorities could question him.

    I guess he couldn’t fix it after all …
