It follows Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison and examines how DNA work and accounts from witnesses and families are shaping efforts to identify victims. The series also raises questions about possible accomplices and missing evidence; those are questions explored by the program, not established findings.
What is The Fox Hollow Murders about?
Hulu lists The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer as a TV-MA crime docuseries released in 2025, with one season and four episodes. Hulu’s official synopsis describes a coroner reopening a notorious serial-killer case in suburban Indiana, where new DNA technology and witness revelations prompt further questions. Hulu’s series listing
ABC News Studios says the series follows Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison as he renews the investigation after thousands of bones were found in woods behind Fox Hollow Farm. Interviews include original investigators, relatives of victims, the property’s current owner and cold-case experts. The production presents possible accomplices, missing evidence and changing witness accounts as lines of inquiry, not as conclusions proved by the announcement.

How the four episodes approach the case
Apple TV’s episode listing gives the installments these titles: The Lost Boys, A House with Good Bones, Answer the Riddle and No Longer Forgotten. Its descriptions point to the remains, the farm’s later owner, the question of a potential accomplice and a survivor’s account. Apple TV’s episode listing
#1 Best Overall
Together, the episodes place the renewed identification effort alongside testimony and unresolved investigative questions. Viewers should distinguish the series’ framing of an open question from a finding established by investigators or reporting.
What is known about the remains and identifications?
The numbers associated with Fox Hollow Farm refer to different things and come from different reporting snapshots. They should not be read as interchangeable totals.
- About 10,000 bones and fragments: The Associated Press reported in January 2025 that investigators found approximately this many at the property. Original investigators believed the remains could represent at least 25 people. Baumeister died by suicide in Canada in July 1996, before police could question him, according to the same AP report. AP, January 7, 2025
- Eight unique male DNA profiles: In that January 2025 report, AP said profiles were extracted from more than 70 of 100 submitted bones. One profile matched family reference samples for Allen Livingston; four matched men identified in the 1990s. AP reported that Livingston’s identification had been announced in October 2023. At the time of the report, three profiles remained unidentified and two samples were still being tested. Those are figures reported at that date, not a verified statement of the current status.
- 13 victims found on the property: In May 2024, AP reported Coroner Jeff Jellison saying 13 victims had then been found there, while investigators believed the remains could represent at least 25 people. This is an identified-victim count reported at that point, not a count of bones or DNA profiles. AP, May 21, 2024
A bone is not a person, and a DNA profile is not automatically an identified victim. The figures above describe the quantity of remains, profiles recovered from a subset, identifications, or investigators’ estimate of how many people the remains may represent.
What remains a question in the series?
The series’ premise includes questions about whether anyone may have helped Baumeister, whether evidence is missing and how witness accounts changed. ABC News Studios’ announcement describes those as topics the program explores. Neither that announcement nor the dated AP figures establish that an accomplice existed or resolve every investigative question.
