Crime & Public Safety

The corridor test: Indiana's documented serial cases, checked one by one against this ground

Case by case · none tied to St. Joseph County or Penn Township in any source reached

Each case prints at the strength of its convicting court or the Bureau, with aggregator counts expressly not used as fact. Herb Baumeister — Westfield, Hamilton County; remains of eleven men found at Fox Hollow Farm in June 1996 (aggregator counts run 9–27 and are printed as varying, not adopted); he died by suicide in Canada, never charged. Geography: Hamilton County and the Indianapolis corridor. Larry Eyler — 1982–84, victims dumped along Indiana and Illinois highways; convicted of one murder, Daniel Bridges, 15, in Illinois (death sentence 1986; died 1994); a list of about twenty-one victims was released by his attorney after his death; one unidentified victim is the Jasper County John Doe of 1983 (NamUs #UP11379). Geography: the highway corridors of two states, with the Indiana county named being Jasper — not this one. Orville Lynn Majors — Vermillion County Hospital, Clinton; convicted October 1999 of six murders, 360 years. Darren Vann — Gary and Hammond, Lake County, 2014. Belle Gunness — La Porte, La Porte County. David Maust — Hammond, Lake County. Checked one by one against this ground: no victim, dump site, residence, or charged act of any of these cases is placed in St. Joseph County or Penn Township in any source reached. The corridor's honest summary for Osceola is a row of zeroes with the cases named — which is what a corridor test is for.

Sources: convicting-court and Bureau record as reached for each case (Majors, Vermillion County convictions, 1999; Eyler, Illinois conviction and attorney-released list; Baumeister, Hamilton County coroner/sheriff record, 1996); Crime & Public Safety (banked frame).
