      I think they were saying he was a closeted murderer. Seems reasonable I guess. All things considered.

        Aren’t all murderers closeted then?

          I suppose Al Capone could be considered and out of the closet murderer. Hiding it would have had less impact.

        Makes sense, that’s not something you’re normally very open about. I think there is a certain stigma surrounding a murderer when they come out of the closet even in today’s enlightened environment.

      If they want to live such a disgusting lifestyle, I guess it’s their right, but they shouldn’t shove it in everyone’s face.

    Police in Indianapolis have identified a 12th body buried on the estate of now-deceased wealthy Republican businessman Herbert Baumeister, a closeted gay man who is believed to have murdered over 20 men and boys that he met in Indianapolis gay bars during the mid-1980s and ’90s.

    Is he a closeted republican? Or a closeted murderer? Or is he a secretly gay man that murders Republicans?

        I actually saw a news story on this year’s ago. The dude, Baumeister, was so closeted that he would kill the guys he picked up.

        He burned and crushed the victims and the remains have been on a police shelf for 30 years.
