Michael Frederick Mike Kiern was 45 when he was last seen at a gay bar in downtown Indianapolis on March 31, 1995. He vanished that spring and his disappearance remained unresolved until June 1999, when bone fragments and a jacket recovered from Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield, Indiana, were positively identified as his.

Fox Hollow Farm belonged to businessman Herb Baumeister. During a search of the 18-acre estate in June 1996 investigators found over 10,000 charred and crushed bone fragments. Forensic work over the following years tied many of those remains to victims; Baumeister became the prime suspect in the deaths of Kiern and at least ten other men whose remains were found on the property.

Baumeister fled to Ontario when a warrant was issued and later died by suicide; his note mentioned a failing marriage and business but did not confess to the killings. Authorities have continued identifying victims through advancing forensic and genetic genealogy methods.

If anyone knew Mike Kiern or saw him in Indianapolis around March 1995, please share what you remember.
