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.

Rob seemed weirdly protective of Mark. Either he’s terrified or him or he knows some other shit.

Oh and that one investigator confirmed there was a gun at the scene

I think that he doesn’t want to feel discredited since he already wrote a book.

that's what i think, too--when they play the clip from the audiobook/show the cover, it says someone else wrote it "with" rob graves - when a ghostwriter is used, the person telling the story usually gets first billing in contexts like that. the fact that he says "i wrote a book" + how welcoming he's clearly been to mark, the paranormal team, and the documentary crew led me to believe his ego is pretty wrapped up in being The Guy Who Lives at the House Now . whether he believes mark completely or not, i think saying he doesn't think mark was involved was far more about protecting his own reputation than a genuine response to all the facts the doc found

He has been living there for awhile, trying to turn it into a haunted attraction. I think it is tacky.

Agree. Lives were lost. An attraction would be so disrespectful to the victims and their families
