Baumeister murders back in the news

[Cameramonkey]

All that money from two thrift stores? How involved was the Children's Bureau in his stores? Did he clean out his victim's? I just wonder how he got so much money.

The stories I read is that the CB got a cut of the profits. Thats it. (with no details) If they advertise that point heavily enough, that can be enough to entice folks to donate more to help the CB, and as a side effect, enriching Herb. So if the public just knows that a popular charity gets money, they wont realize that in this case CB gets 5 cents on the dollar while Herb gets 50 cents on the dollar net, and the other 45% goes to operations. (my random asumption to illustrate how he might get rich)

In addition, to fund the estate, he could have easily leveraged the company as collateral.

I hear he had grocery stores.

No...thrift mart

Yep. It may have been a "tounge in cheek" marketing campaign with a nod towards his extracurricular activities, but it really caught on with urban youth.

And this is why I hesitate to donate much anymore. There's always some CEO of the charity getting buko bucks via non-profit status.

I like to help, but rather help directly to a cause, nearly impossble to do.

Small local churches probably are one of the best places to help folks in the community, even if one is not a believer. I look for churches that help those truly in need no matter the beliefs of the recipient.

We recently helped a widowed grandmother whose daughter abandoned two young children on her. She is not a member of their congregation but they have the pulse of who genuinely needs help.

My wife and I attended college at the University of Indianapolis. Forensic archeological and anthropological investigations from local LE partner with the archeology department and Dr. Steven Nawrocki. My wife was in the program and got to go assist with the dig when they were still processing the scene.

This is a good tool. It lets you see how much of what you give actually goes to the mission.

What irritates me are the likes of Wounded Warrior and Goodwill. Both topheavy orgs with overpaid executive teams. (WWP got called out years ago and got better) If you want to make big money, go work in the private sector. Not at Nonprofits.

My question is, after 26 years does the taxpayers money need to be spent reopening the case to use scientific methods not available years ago?

Fun fact, the Monon Trail goes right through the property you can see the barn and house from the trail…

You have to ask this question from the standpoint that your son is the one missing.

State views the matter as a crime against state....so it will. Then they will pass it off as "justice for the families" though that train has left the station.

I believe his father was a doctor so I’d assume his parents had money. I’m pretty sure he grew up on the north side of Indy and his family had a vacation home up in Michigan.

I’ve read a lot on this but can’t remember it all.

I wouldn’t say the wife knew about the murders but she had to know he was gay and did his gay stuff when she took the kids out of town.

Oh and his son found a skeleton in the woods and told the mom and when she confronted Herb he said it was one of his dads old office skeletons.

More bones found.

As said years ago, animals likely scattered parts all over the woods.

Now imagine if they do DNA and it came back as somebody who disappeared after he offed himself. Wont that be weird? Sure would be a new wrinkle.

10,000 bones. 206 in the human body. I'm up to 50 people, not counting before he moved there.

Bones and bone fragments. Some as small as a fingernail is what I heard on the news.

 

[Indyhd]

206 bones in the human body ?
Seems like I've known women who have had way more than that.
Maybe I just don't count so well or something.

Sometimes it depends on how the dinner and movie went.

Many believe Herb was the I70 killer.
