A fearful family was forced to wait three decades before receiving any answers about their loved one’s tragic disappearance in 1993.

After years of waiting, Allen Livingston’s DNA was finally matched to charred remains found on a farm belonging to Indiana serial killer Herbert Baumeister.

His mortified mother was not shocked that her missing son’s body was found at Fox Hollow Farm.

“I knew he’s there, I knew he’s there. I knew that man got him,” Sharon Livingston repeated.

She had called police to check on his case many times over the years, each time with few updates.

Her mother’s intuition led her to believe that Baumeister had taken her then 27-year-old son’s life.

Investigators suspect that Baumeister hunted down men at gay bars, before bringing them back to his home and murdering them.

Eight other bodies were found on Baumeister’s property in 1996, and investigators believe he has many more victims.

Unfortunately, at the time, DNA technology was not advanced enough to identify some of the remains.

Baumeister also committed suicide before police could interview him and solve the case, leaving many families without answers.

Last year, the case saw some momentum.

Livingston’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her final wish was to solve her son’s murder.

“I do not have my son’s remains, and until I have that, it will be unfinished for me, and I hope I get them before I pass away,” Sharon told WTHR last November.

Forensic anthropologist Krista Latham helped identify the vital nuclear DNA needed to complete a DNA profile.

She said that technology has improved dramatically since the case was opened in 1996.

“It’s that increased sensitivity in the DNA technology that’s really allowed for us to investigate skeletal material in a way that wasn’t possible before,” Latham told NBC News.

Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison is hopeful that more victims will be identified following the break-through in the case.

“We think there’s probably more people. Maybe, possibly as many as 25 people,” said Jellison.

“They were essentially forgotten. And they’re not forgotten any longer,” he added.

Jellison and his team have asked other families with missing loved ones to provide DNA samples so they can continue their work.

“This first identification is important, but what it taught us is that what we’re doing is right,” Jellison said. “Now it’s time to get our nose back to the grindstone, because we know now that we can produce some results.”
