I worked for Herb Baumeister for a year and a half at his Indianapolis west side store(Sav-a-lot Thrift Store). I always thought he was a little strange but generally just a nice guy. It always did seem strange that he knew alot of teenage boys. Once a month or so at the store we would have to load a truck full of that months donated clothes that were not being sold. The clothes were in bails and required alot of stregnth to load. He would have 6 or 8 teenagers come and help. I thought they were just former employees or friends of employees. I now wonder if some of the people who were helping us ended up in his back yard. He never approached me in any wierd ways or anything but he did ask alot of personal questions. He was always interested how me and my girlfriend were doing. It is creepy to know that I worked so close to a killer and had no idea
I lived in Bloomington, Indiana during the final couple years of Mr. Baumeister's activities.
I am interested in recieving emails regarding any nugget of information from people who knew Herb Baumeister or had any interaction with him--regardless of how small or insignificant.
