    Herb Baumeister - The Fox Hollow Farm Murders

    In 1994, a boy found a human skull in the woods behind his family's Indiana estate. His father, businessman Herb Baumeister, told the family it was nothing, and then threw it away.Two years later, investigators dug up Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield and recovered roughly 10,000 bones and fragments. They believe the remains represent as many as 25 men, many of them last seen in Indianapolis gay bars. Baumeister was never charged. He died by suicide in Canada days after police moved in.This week on Deadly Intent, we look at the double life he built, the men who refused to stay forgotten, and the three decades it took for DNA to start giving the victims their names back. This is a case about intent, and about who gets looked for.Content warning: serial murder, strangulation, and violence against LGBTQ+ people.If a male relative went missing in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, the Hamilton County Coroner's Office is still collecting DNA samples: 317-770-4415.#DeadlyIntent #HerbBaumeister #FoxHollowFarm #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #SerialKiller #IndianaTrueCrime #ColdCase #ForensicGenealogy #LGBTQHistory #CarmanCarrion #TrueCrimeCommunityEXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT:Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folkloreCarman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terrorSUPPORT THE SHOW:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrionCONNECT WITH CARMAN:Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolkloreTwitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LklHsNIa8p0ZFOwKE1SLDYour support helps bring you more terrifying tales.DISCOVER MORE HORROR:http://eeriecast.com/https://www.carman-carrion.com/MUSIC CREDITS:Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Two changes to the footer you pasted: Spotify: The link you pasted looks like Freaky Folklore's.

    Jessica Wongso - The Cyanide Coffee Case That Divided Indonesia

    In January 2016, a young woman took one sip of her iced coffee at a café in a Jakarta mall. Within minutes she was having seizures, and before the evening was over, she was gone. Nobody saw anything go into that cup.Wayan Mirna Salihin was 27 and had been married only weeks. Her friend Jessica Kumala Wongso, who had ordered the drinks, was later convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to 20 years. Jessica has always maintained her innocence.On this edition of Brewed With Intent, we pour a warm cup and walk through the cyanide coffee case: the café footage and the shopping bags, the autopsy that was never fully done, the live-broadcast trial, the experts who disagreed, and the Netflix documentary that reopened the debate years later. The evidence was largely circumstantial, so we lay out what the court found, what the defense argued, and what both sides point to.Because in this case, intent was never seen. It had to be inferred.Brewed With Intent is the Saturday morning bonus series from Deadly Intent. Full episodes drop every Wednesday.Content note: This episode discusses a poisoning death and a criminal case that remains disputed. Nothing graphic.Keywords: Jessica Wongso, Mirna Salihin, cyanide coffee case, Ice Cold Netflix documentary, Olivier Café, Grand Indonesia, Jakarta true crime, Indonesian true crime, premeditated murder, circumstantial evidence, poisoning case, true crime podcast#JessicaWongso #MirnaSalihin #CyanideCoffee #IceCold #NetflixTrueCrime #BrewedWithIntent #DeadlyIntent #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndonesiaTrueCrime #PoisoningCase #CircumstantialEvidenceEXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT:Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folkloreCarman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terrorSUPPORT THE SHOW:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrionCONNECT WITH CARMAN:Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolkloreTwitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LklHsNIa8p0ZFOwKE1SLDiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deadly-intent/id1857241419Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.DISCOVER MORE HORROR:http://eeriecast.com/https://www.carman-carrion.com/MUSIC CREDITS:Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs

    Texarkana Moonlight Murders - Was Youell Swinney the Phantom Killer?

    In 1946, a masked killer terrorized Texarkana, on the Texas and Arkansas line, and no one was ever convicted of the murders. Over ten weeks, five people were killed and three more were wounded. Couples were attacked on lovers' lanes, and a husband and wife were shot in their own farmhouse. The town nailed its windows shut and sold out of locks and guns, and the press gave the killer a name: the Phantom. This week on Deadly Intent, we walk through each attack and look at what the killer's choices reveal about intent. We also look at the one man most investigators believed was responsible, car thief Youell Swinney, and weigh the evidence for and against him. Why was he never tried for murder, and why does this case remain unsolved eighty years later? Content warning: this episode discusses shootings, assault, and the murders of teenagers and a married couple. Remembering Jimmy Hollis, Mary Jeanne Larey, Richard Griffin, Polly Ann Moore, Paul Martin, Betty Jo Booker, Virgil Starks, and Katie Starks.

    The Cock Lane Ghost - The 1762 Haunting That Was Really a Revenge Plot

    In 1762, thousands of Londoners, including lords, clergymen, and the famous dictionary writer Samuel Johnson, crowded into a narrow street to question a ghost. One knock meant yes. Two knocks meant no. And "Scratching Fanny" had a shocking answer: she said she had been poisoned. The man she accused was William Kent, a Norfolk moneylender whose late partner, Fanny Lynes, had died of smallpox. The man behind the haunting was Kent's landlord, parish clerk Richard Parsons, who owed him money. On this Halloween edition of Brewed With Intent, we pour a warm cup and unravel the Cock Lane Ghost: the knock code, the paying crowds, the committee that tested a child in a quiet house, the silent vault, and the courtroom that finally ended it. It's a ghost story with a real motive, and a reminder that intent was hiding behind the knocks the whole time. Brewed With Intent is the Saturday morning bonus series from Deadly Intent. Full episodes drop every Wednesday. Content note: This episode discusses a false accusation of murder, a death from illness, and a child being used to carry out a deception. Nothing graphic.

    The Manson Family Murders – Helter Skelter and the Psychology Behind the Murders

    Charles Manson never fired a shot at the Tate house, so how did he become the man behind the most notorious murders in American history? In this episode of Deadly Intent, we look at the Manson Family murders of 1969 through the lens of intent and psychology: how a drifter built a following out of lonely young people, how ordinary people were led to kill strangers, and who was truly responsible for the deaths of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Parent, Leno LaBianca, and Rosemary LaBianca. We also cover Gary Hinman and Donald "Shorty" Shea, the Helter Skelter motive and the competing theories, the trial, and where the surviving Family members stand today. Content warning: this episode discusses murder, violence, and the deaths of a pregnant woman and a teenager. Listener discretion is advised.

    John Darwin - The Canoe Man Who Faked His Own Death

    In 2002, John Darwin paddled a canoe out to sea off the coast of northeast England and was presumed drowned. Five years later he walked into a London police station claiming he couldn't remember who he was. In this Saturday bonus episode of Brewed With Intent, we look at the debts, the hidden doorway, the stolen name of a baby, the photograph from Panama, and the question at the center of every long lie: how many times can you choose to keep going? Content note: This episode discusses fraud, deception, and a family's false grief. Nothing is graphic. If someone you love is missing, NamUs, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, is a free national resource, and in an emergency, call 911.

    Ariel Castro and the Cleveland Kidnappings - Inside the House on Seymour Avenue

    For about a decade, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight were missing posters on Cleveland's west side. All that time, they were inside a house on Seymour Avenue, held by a man who played bass in local bands, drove a school bus, and attended vigils in their names. This week on Deadly Intent, we look at the Ariel Castro case through the psychology behind it: the early pattern of control and domestic violence, the way he used familiarity to lure each woman, the system of captivity he ran for years, and the sentencing statement where he insisted "I am not a monster." We also look at how a normal life became his best cover, what the investigation did and missed, and the moment Amanda Berry found an open door and called 911. This episode centers the survivors and the families who never stopped looking, and it keeps the details clinical. Content warning: this episode discusses kidnapping, long-term captivity, sexual assault, forced pregnancy loss, domestic violence, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. Resources are listed at the end of the episode. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988. For sexual assault support, RAINN's hotline is 1-800-656-4673. New episodes every Wednesday.
