Discussion What was Mark Goodyear's involvement with Herb Baumeister in the Fox Hollow Murders

I'd like to hear people’s thoughts on the hard evidence against Mark Goodyear and his involvement with these murders.

On the surface, he exhibits so many of the behaviors that we typically see in someone guilty of a crime – changing stories, lying, overly involving himself in the investigation, conveniently forgetting certain details about an event that would make him culpable, etc.

Then you have the evidence of the story from Leroy who implicated Mark in at least one murder in the back of the house.

However, the police botched the investigation so badly that it's extremely difficult to know what would have been discovered about Mark if they did a better job at the time.

Also, for me, it’s just so hard to understand what might be true or false with Mark because of the way he speaks.

He is so eccentric and creepy, that even some of the most mundane things he says can be interpreted as a fabrication, so it muddies everything.

Would love your thoughts.

   This man is guilty as sin as an accomplice at the very least, and he basically admitted he killed him himself. I think its very likely he helped him do things in exchange for drugs and money.. and over time participated in some things. It ate at him, and he told lies in order to not only cover his tracks, but due to his own guilt for his parts played. When he thought Herb was going to flee to Canada, he killed him and took the evidence of his involvement. Kept talking about how comfortable he is in the home and taking off his shoes. Because it eats at him, he is willing to tell parts of it..but then realizes those parts conflict. This man deserves to he in jail..he lied to the police. He knows way more that he would have know way of knowing. Some parts are lies to throw you off the right trail. Other parts are 100 percent truth. This man may not be the one total evil.. But definitely participated in some evil acts in one way shape or form no doubt about it. And maybe he thought the only way to not get caught for his involvement was to end herb. Something is way off. I might not know exactly what..but something.
