Despite Baumeister's death in 1996, authorities are still uncovering secrets buried on the property nearly four decades later.

Recent efforts by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office have led to the identification of new victims, including Jeffrey A. Jones.
Baumeister's wife initially obstructed law enforcement from searching their property but later divorced him as suspicions grew.

The FBI report highlights how serial killers like Baumeister often lead double lives, appearing ordinary to their communities.
