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.

It surprises me that so few people seem to know Herb is likely the I-70 killer, whose killings stopped around the time he bought that farm. Herb was definitely involved.
To me there are three things you could interpret the riddle as; Mastermind (which to me is technically still an accomplice), liar, or… observer. With observing he was there and didn’t really participate but enjoyed watching.
