In an unsettling revelation that still haunts the public decades later, the sinister legacy of Herb Baumeister continues to linger. Nearly three decades have passed since the macabre discovery of thousands of human bones and fragments at Fox Hollow Farm, yet the chilling mystery of what transpired on that estate remains unsolved, and new, probing questions are surfacing.

The ongoing investigation has reached a critical juncture as Hamilton County’s chief coroner suggests that a pivotal individual in the case might not be telling everything they know, potentially hindering the quest for truth.

“I’ve engaged in a few discussions with Mark Goodyear,” Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison shared with News Media, underscoring the complexities that have come to define this case.

“The initial question I’d present to him is, ‘Are you now ready to be truthful with me?’ Throughout our dialogues, honesty has been elusive. I posed several inquiries, aware of the answers, only to witness his failure to respond truthfully. To engage in a meaningful conversation with Mark Goodyear, he must choose to embrace honesty. Engaging with someone entrenched in deceit is a futile endeavor, one that I cannot afford,” Jellison stated, marking a critical stance in the ongoing investigation.

Jellison appears in the ABC News Studios true crime documentary “Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets,” which explores new theories about potential accomplices, overlooked evidence and witness accounts in the case of Baumeister, a suspected serial killer believed to have murdered numerous men in Indiana. It’s a follow-up to the 2025 docuseries “The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer.”

Jellison said he wants to determine whether Goodyear knows something that could help investigators identify the remaining victims and determine how they died.

Goodyear has never been charged with any crime related to the case and has repeatedly denied any involvement in the disappearances.

“If we move forward in that conversation, certainly I want to know any information I can gather to help identify these remains,” said Jellison. “Were you familiar with anybody? Things that would focus more around identification and how these people died.”

“Mark Goodyear knows a lot about this case,” Jellison said.

Jellison also shared that Goodyear knew many people through gay nightclubs and could help investigators identify some of the remains.

Goodyear, who participated in the first docuseries, has described himself as Baumeister’s only known survivor. The film detailed how investigators believed Baumeister may have filmed his victims with a secret camera hidden in an air vent in his basement. Goodyear said he was forced to watch some of the tapes in 1994. He said the video was so “bad” it made him scream.

“It was like having a camera right up against something,” Goodyear said. “You’re not going to be able to tell what’s going on, but the minute you got a flash of what was going on, it made you scream.”

The previous documentary examined how Goodyear’s account of his relationship and encounters with Baumeister has changed over the years. At the time, Jellison told News Media it was unlikely those tapes, if they exist, would ever be recovered.

News Media reached out to Goodyear for comment but did not receive a response.

Goodyear initially agreed to another interview for the follow-up documentary but did not appear for the scheduled interview, according to the film.

About 10,000 burned and broken human bones and bone fragments were recovered from the 18-acre estate that once belonged to Baumeister. Before investigators could arrest him in 1996, Baumeister was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Ontario, Canada. He was 49.

Investigators believe Baumeister frequented gay bars in Indianapolis, lured men to his home while his family was away, killed them there and disposed of their remains on the property.

Baumeister’s son discovered a human skull in the woods at Fox Hollow Farm in 1994, but, according to reports, investigators did not search the property until June 1996.

Goodyear said he first encountered Baumeister at an Indianapolis gay bar in 1994, where Baumeister introduced himself as “Brian.” Goodyear later told investigators that he went home with Baumeister and described what he said was a disturbing sexual encounter.

Goodyear’s account eventually helped advance the investigation. After encountering Baumeister again the following year, Goodyear helped investigators obtain information that led them to identify Baumeister.

While Jellison has questioned Goodyear’s account, he also made clear in the documentary that Goodyear was not a suspect.

“There are very strong indications there is another suspect, and it wasn’t Mark Goodyear,” Jellison said in the film.

Jellison said there are still more than 9,000 bones and bone fragments yet to be examined. Investigators believe at least 25 people fell victim to Baumeister, according to WRTV.

The scope and placement of the remains have also raised another question for Jellison: whether Baumeister could have carried out the crimes alone.

“I was always convinced that there was more than one,” Jellison said. “There were a lot of people that lost their lives in this incident, and just the placement of the evidence alone. How does one man pull this crime off? And how does one man get … deceased individuals from his residence to potentially 200 yards through very dense woods? I think it would’ve been a very difficult task.”

Jellison is determined to put names to the unidentified victims. He believes some families may still be unaware that a loved one vanished or that the person’s remains may have ended up at Fox Hollow Farm.

Jellison compared the scale of the investigation to the recovery effort at the World Trade Center.

“Some of these folks did not have close family connections, and they were somewhat marginalized,” he explained. “So there may be families out there not even knowing that their loved one went missing, much less consider that person was a victim at Fox Hollow.”

“Thirty years have passed since these remains have been recovered,” he reflected. “So potentially, mom and dad could be deceased, and maybe they had no brother or sister. So we’re reaching out further down the lineage to cousins. And a cousin may not even know that they had a family member that even went missing.”

Jellison said identifying the Fox Hollow victims presents a unique challenge.

He contrasted the case with the World Trade Center investigation, where records and missing-person reports gave investigators a clearer idea of who they were looking for. At Fox Hollow, investigators started with remains but few clues about their identities.

“I really believe that this investigation is more complicated in some ways than the World Trade Center,” he said. “With Fox Hollow, we’ve recovered these remains, but we have no idea who it is that we’re looking for.”

Jellison is urging anyone who believes a missing loved one could be connected to the case to contact his office. After the original documentary aired, his office received approximately 500 emails, phone calls, text messages and social media messages, Jellison said.

“Come forward,” he said. “If you don’t know what to do or you don’t know who to call, call me. I’ll get you going in the right direction.”

Call the Midwife enthusiasts, rejoice! The long-anticipated debut of Season 15 on Netflix is just around the corner.

While the cherished BBC period drama has already graced screens via PBS, U.S. Netflix viewers have been anxiously anticipating their chance to reunite with the residents of Nonnatus House. Fortunately, the wait is almost history.

Great news for binge-watchers: Call the Midwife Season 15 will be available on Netflix this September, and all eight episodes will drop simultaneously. No need to hold your breath for weekly releases.

In addition, the Season 15 release on Netflix will include the special two-part Christmas 2025 feature. If you’ve been patient until now, your reward will be an abundance of new content to dive into.

Here’s all the crucial information you need: from the exact Netflix release schedule for Call the Midwife Season 15 to the episode count and exciting extras in this new batch of episodes.

When Does Call the Midwife Season 15 Come Out on Netflix?

Call the Midwife Season 15 premieres on Netflix on Monday, September 7, 2026.

All eight episodes will be released at once, so Netflix subscribers can watch the season at their own pace rather than waiting for each episode to arrive.

The September release also isn’t exactly a surprise for longtime Netflix viewers. Seasons 11, 12, 13 and 14 all made their way to the U.S. streamer in September, with Season 14 arriving on September 15, 2025.

In other words, Call the Midwife is right on schedule.

What Time Does Call the Midwife Season 15 Come Out on Netflix?

Netflix typically releases its new movies and TV shows at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET on the scheduled release date.

That means Call the Midwife Season 15 should be available to stream at 3 a.m. ET on Monday, September 7.

And yes, there’s more than just the eight episodes waiting for you.

How Many Episodes Are In Call the Midwife Season 15?

Season 15 consists of eight episodes.

The new season moves the story into 1971, with Nonnatus House facing a changing social and political landscape. The Women’s Liberation movement is gathering momentum, while the midwives continue dealing with the medical and personal challenges that come through their doors.

The season tackles storylines involving premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis and slavery.

Here’s a look at what’s coming:

• Episode 1: The Nonnatus team grows increasingly concerned about the welfare of four young children.

What About the Call the Midwife Christmas Specials?

There’s another reason Netflix’s Season 15 release is worth circling on the calendar.

The streamer will also add the two-part 2025 Christmas special on September 7, giving viewers a chance to catch up on the holiday episodes before diving into the new season.

The specials take the Nonnatus team beyond Poplar, with part of the story unfolding in Hong Kong. Members of the team travel there to deal with a crisis involving the order’s branch house, while the second installment follows a rescue effort that doesn’t go quite according to plan.

The Christmas specials originally aired ahead of Season 15, setting the stage for what’s to come.

Can You Watch Call the Midwife Season 15 Before It Comes To Netflix?

You can — and, in fact, U.S. viewers have already had the opportunity to watch Season 15.

The season premiered on PBS on March 22, 2026, with new episodes airing weekly. PBS Passport members were also able to stream episodes ahead of their broadcast premieres.

But if you haven’t been following along on PBS, Netflix’s September 7 release gives you an easy way to catch up. All eight episodes will be waiting for you on the same day.

And for anyone who needs to do a little more catching up first, Seasons 1 through 14 are currently streaming on Netflix in the U.S.

Will There Be A Call the Midwife Season 16?

Yes. There’s more Call the Midwife on the way.

Season 16 has already been confirmed, with production expected to begin in 2027. The series will continue moving further into the 1970s.

And that’s not all. The BBC and Neal Street Productions are also developing a World War II-era prequel set in Poplar, along with a feature film set overseas in 1972 that will bring back characters from the series.

For now, though, Season 15 is next.

Call the Midwife Season 15 premieres Monday, September 7, 2026, on Netflix.

Earlier this month, the ever-charming George Clooney and his wife Amal were seen enjoying an enchanting evening in the picturesque setting of Lake Como.

The iconic 65-year-old actor and the esteemed 48-year-old human rights attorney, who recently faced the ordeal of evacuating their home in France, were guests at a gathering held at the elegant Villa Passalacqua.

Radiating style and synergy, the couple donned coordinated ivory ensembles. George sported a sophisticated look with a short-sleeved shirt neatly tucked into trousers, rounded off with a pair of classic loafers.

Amal, exuding elegance, was a vision in a low-cut, floor-length slip dress. She added a romantic touch to her look, holding a delicate bouquet of flowers received as they stepped off a boat.

Enhancing her bridal-like attire, the fashion-forward Amal complemented her look with dazzling chandelier earrings, striking chunky bangles, and chic strappy silver heels.

The pair, who share nine-year-old fraternal twins Ella and Alexander, are known to spend time in Italy every summer.

In late July, wildfires blazing across southern France forced George and his family to flee their home.

The star, his wife, and their kids live in Brignoles, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, which was threatened by fires spreading across France, Greece, Italy and Spain.

George revealed that he and his loved ones evacuated their home in a letter to the mayor of Brignoles, Didier Brémond, his representative confirmed to People at the time.

The actor reportedly vowed to support the town, which has a population just under 18,000 people, regardless of the impact of the encroaching fires.

‘Dear Didier, At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment,’ the Hollywood veteran began.

‘As we evacuate Brignoles we want to emphasize two things, first we hope you and the people of our city are safe and second that Amal and I are committed to making sure that whatever happens to our village, we are part of this community and we’ll be part of making it whole,’ he wrote.

‘We love Brignoles and our friends who live there.’

In May, the Clooneys celebrated George’s birthday in St. Tropez. 

Amal treated her husband to a bash full of surprises – including having his friends show up in disguise.

‘I just surprised him on his birthday, actually with a number of things that…’ she began sharing with British Vogue at the King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration in London.

‘Yeah, she had friends of mine show up posing,’ George started before his wife chimed in, saying they were ‘Posing as waiters.’

He joked, ‘It’s a dangerous thing to surprise someone when they turn 65 because you could drop. 

‘You know, that could be the end of you, so you have to be very careful when you surprise people.’

In the serene backdrop of Northern California, Brian Hooker continues to lead a tranquil life, months after his wife Lynette vanished without a trace.

The 58-year-old was recently photographed by News Media near a residence in Citrus Heights, a small suburb located approximately 15 miles northeast of Sacramento.

Lynette, who hailed from Michigan, mysteriously disappeared during what was meant to be a relaxing sailing trip in the Bahamas with her husband in April.

Her daughter and the rest of her family have been waiting for any answers in her disappearance.

Brian has not been accused of any crime or wrongdoing. He was initially detained and questioned then released from Bahamian custody in April.

The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service is the lead agency investigating Lynette’s disappearance. Hooker told investigators Lynette fell from a dinghy while the couple was making their way back to their sailboat, Soulmate, that fateful evening.

Four months later, he was seen last weekend walking dogs, taking walks, enjoying a cup of coffee in a garage, and even stopping to sift through neighborhood trash items on the side of the street.

He may be staying with a family member.

Hooker was snapped wearing a brown hat and khaki shorts while walking two small dogs.

Cameras also captured him sifting through people’s trash on the side of a neighborhood street picking up items and walking away with them.

Hooker also appeared to be enjoying a cup of coffee inside his garage wearing a graphic tee that reads “Hellfire Club” from the show “Stranger Things.”

He was also seen walking out of a store with his Marine Corps tattoo on full display.

When News Media asked about the recent sighting of Hooker, Darlene Hamlett, Lynette’s mother, simply said, “I just want the truth to be told and justice for my daughter Lynette.”

News Media has reached out to Hooker’s attorney, Matthew Borgula.

Officials have confirmed that a Russian assault on the Bucha district, situated near Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 27 lives as of Saturday.

Tymur Tkachenko, who leads the local regional military administration, reported that the attack caused damage to at least 50 residential buildings. The assault also ignited a massive fire that extended to residences and a nearby restaurant.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released a statement indicating that a warehouse in the village of Myla was hit, triggering an explosion.

While he provided no further specifics about the location, Zelensky mentioned that legal action had been initiated on grounds of official negligence.

Zelensky emphasized existing regulations, stating, “Ammunition cannot be stored near homes or other residential areas.”

The Ukrainian leader wrote that a care home for elderly people and people with disabilities and residential buildings were damaged.

“More than 370 people have already been evacuated, and the evacuation is ongoing,” he said.

Almost constant air raids in Kyiv have now reached their third day, choking the economy in the Ukrainian capital and severely disrupting civilian life more than four and a half years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor.

Along the tumultuous path to Kathmandu, where disorder reigns as far as the eye can survey, travelers cling to hope amidst growing dread of an unfolding calamity.

Amidst the gridlocked traffic, droves of weary pedestrians press northward, seeking family members who remain unreachable since a catastrophic flash flood descended from the Himalayas on Wednesday morning.

As entire structures, bridges, and neighborhoods seem to have vanished, and with the grim death toll escalating hourly, an eerie silence conveys the heavy realization that, in the wake of such a monumental disaster, no updates often spell the worst possible news.

In the relentless downpour, I encountered Prem Bahdur Tamang, trudging with despair, clutching a mobile phone showcasing a photo of his nephew, Sangyam Rumba, smiling with arms folded—a poignant image trapped behind the phone’s cracked screen.

He moved from one person to another, displaying the cherished photo and asking if they had laid eyes on his young relative. Each time, he braced himself for the answer he dreaded most.

‘We haven’t seen him since the water came,’ Prem told me, referring to the destructive wave of mud and debris which seemed to destroy everything in its wake. ‘His parents have been crying and haven’t eaten for almost three days because they know that the outcome is not going to be good.’ 

Staring at his phone as his eyes filled with tears, Prem revealed that Sangyam worked as a tour guide, accompanying the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to Nepal each year, largely to trek through the spectacular mountain range where an avalanche triggered this week’s tragedy.

The young man was last in contact with his family on Wednesday morning just minutes before the flood hit. He was walking up the Trishuli River with a group of foreign tourists.

‘How can anyone survive that flood? It came crashing down like a giant monster that ate up everything,’ said Prem. ‘The whole of Nepal is heartbroken by what happened. In our hearts we fear that Sangyam is gone.’

Similar emotions are being shared everywhere on the Nuwakot road, one of the principal routes from Kathmandu to the Tibet border, which winds its way north of the city through lush mountains before heading past the aforementioned Trishuli, which bore the brunt of the flash flood as water came cascading down from the Chinese border.

The two-lane highway, which in normal times is heavily potholed, is now covered with a thick layer of sticky mud, which gets almost everywhere: into your clothes, your hair, and even your eyes.

The further one gets from Nepal’s capital city, the worse the destruction becomes. In some parts the road becomes virtually impassable due to fallen trees and rubble.

As I approached the Trishuli valley, the crowds looked increasingly shell-shocked. People stood around talking about their missing loved ones or their missing homes.

Those who are among the tens of thousands who have lost homes took refuge wherever they could, as they attempted to come to terms with the natural disaster that has had such a devastating impact on their lives.

Trucks carrying goods could be seen turning back as the road entered the valley, which is effectively ground zero of this terrible natural disaster – the true scope of which has yet to be fully realised.

At the edge of a mountain road I met three young girls who were staying in a tin hut while their parents sheltered from the monsoon season rains in another makeshift shelter nearby.

Some of their clothes were hanging over the side of the squalid hut. Despite losing their home, the youngsters giggled and smiled as they playfully attempted to pass the time away.

Shanti, their mother, said: ‘We have lost everything, but we are lucky that we didn’t lose our lives. We have moved higher up because we are too scared to be by the river. Who knows, there might be another flood? We have relatives in this area, and they have been helping us.

‘There is not much we can do. At least we are all together and nobody in the family is missing.’

Many whose houses remain intact have moved to higher ground amid fears of a second wave, which has restricted rescue operations in the area.

Thanks to the generosity of strangers, many are taking shelter in shabby concrete houses which border the Nuwakot road, which has no pavement and is lined with shacks selling an assortment of goods, along with tea stalls.

The area is made up of a mixture of Hindu and Buddhist temples, reflecting the two religions that are most practised in Nepal. Women dressed in traditional Nepali robes, known as bakhus, and colourful salwar kameezes walked along the roadside, carefully negotiating flood debris as the monsoon rain continues.

The ravaged state of the road is for now frustrating rescue efforts, with only helicopters able to access some of the more remote towns towards the northern end of the valley, which bore the brunt of the storm.

Choppers from the Nepali army whirled overhead through an overcast sky as they made their way towards the Tibet border, only 30 miles away, to help with the search for the missing. But it is proving to be increasingly difficult with the weather worsening and fears of a second flood.

The Red Cross has also managed to get some relief workers to affected towns and villages. But it will clearly be some time until aid agencies are able to mount a serious relief effort.

In the meantime, ordinary Nepalis have come together in this time of crisis.

On the Nuwakot road, tea shops are offering free drinks and snacks; one elderly man was walking around lending his umbrella to those who have lost their homes and now find themselves exposed to the elements; while Kanchi and Milli, two women who sell vegetables at a roadside stall were giving them away for free to flood victims.

Kanchi said: ‘These are our people, and we have to do all that we can to help them.

‘I know that the government is doing its best, but we also have a duty to look after our brothers and sisters.’

She revealed they are lucky to make £2 per day at the stall, but given what has happened, ‘money is not important’.

She added: ‘We are not rich but none of that matters because we all have to come together. It’s hard for us to make sense of this. Nepalis are very devout people, our temples are full every day. We don’t understand why God would do this to us?’

In the distance, a temple bell could be heard to mark the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan – one of the most important in Nepal. It was a national holiday to mark the religious occasion so people could catch up with their extended families. But for many of those in Nuwakot and other flood-hit areas, there is little to celebrate.

Raja Ram explained the significance of the ancient festival. Fighting back the tears he said: ‘It celebrates the bond between a brother and sister and is very important in our culture. I’m lucky that I live high up on a hill in Nuwakot but so many people down by the river have lost a brother or sister that I’ve decided not to celebrate. It just doesn’t seem right.’

As locals sipped tea and discussed Wednesday’s events, some looked up with a solemn, almost hopeless, look in their eyes.

Badal, a teacher whose name means cloud in Nepali, said: ‘The Nepal-Tibet border is not very far from here but it’s one of the remotest regions in the world. I don’t understand how they’ll find anyone.

‘Since Wednesday, the wifi keeps cutting out and at times communication is almost impossible. The phone signal is also very bad. Even if somebody is alive, how will anyone find out?’

As the rain showed no sign of relenting, Prem Bahdur Tamang continued along the principal road that winds through Nuwakot, pausing at shops that are little more than shacks to show people the picture of his beloved nephew.

Calling out his name and details of where he was last seen, he said: ‘One part of me has given up hope and another part doesn’t want to do that. I suppose it’s not different to what the rest of the country is going through.’

WASHINGTON — Amid the ongoing legal challenge concerning contentious border infrastructure, the federal government announced in court on Friday its decision to extend the suspension of construction activities within Big Bend National Park until mid-September. This development has been warmly received by opponents of the project, who have been vocal since the plans were unveiled.

Recently, Customs and Border Protection had temporarily halted these activities following a visit to the park by CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. During his visit, he engaged in discussions with local officials, following eruptions of public protest when bulldozers began making their mark on the park’s southern Texas terrain.

At the time, the Department of Homeland Security clarified that the machinery was not initiating full-scale construction but instead conducting preliminary design and survey tasks. This interruption, initially instated by Scott, was expected to lapse this coming Monday.

The proposed plans within Big Bend National Park include the creation of a new road, implementation of advanced detection technology, and the erection of vehicle-stopping barriers at the border. However, government representatives stress that definitive blueprints for the park project remain undecided.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia expressed his intention for both parties to leverage the additional time to collaboratively address their respective issues. The pause encompasses efforts across both the national park and an adjacent area located upriver and westward of the park, as confirmed by a Justice Department attorney during the hearing.

The work in Big Bend National Park is part of a $46 billion plan by the Trump administration to cover the length of the 2,000-mile border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico in a combination of 30-foot-tall steel bollard walls, vehicle barriers and detection technology to stop illegal immigration and smugglers.

As construction has ramped into high gear, the administration has
