DNA Confirms Roger Goodlet as Fox Hollow Farm Victim in Baumeister Case

DNA confirmation by the University of North Texas validates a 1996 dental match, the site's 11th identification.

Overview

  • Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison announced the identification on Tuesday after a new review of evidence from the Fox Hollow Farm site.
  • Advanced testing by the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification confirmed remains previously linked to Goodlet through dental records in 1996.
  • Goodlet was reported missing from Indianapolis in 1994 and had long been considered a likely victim in the case.
  • Authorities have recovered more than 10,000 bones and fragments at the Westfield property, with investigators estimating roughly 25 victims.
  • Baumeister fled to Ontario and died by suicide in 1996 after a warrant was issued, and officials say work continues to identify additional remains using evolving DNA methods.
