Baumeister was a Westfield businessman during the 1990s and is believed to be the serial killer responsible for the Fox Hollow Farm murders. The victims were mostly young, gay men that Baumeister lured to his property north of Indianapolis, according to the coroner.

Alex Cooper's Former Coach Says She Has ‘No Recollection' of Harassment Alleged in ‘Call Me Alex'
After 'Call Her Daddy' host Alex Cooper alleged she suffered years worth of sexual harassment from Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman, former assistant coach Casey Brown said she had 'no recollection' of the incidents mentioned in Hulu's 'Call Her Alex' docuseries. Cooper told The Boston Globe in an interview published Friday that, amidst a mononucleosis outbreak, she was the only player called into the office to explain 'who' she'd been with and 'how' she got it. The podcaster said she pleaded with Brown, ''Casey, help me',' but instead, Brown 'did nothing about it' and simply turned away. In a statement to the Globe, Brown said she had 'no recollection of what has been suggested' by Cooper. Brown went on to say, 'But let me be absolutely clear: I would never ignore, dismiss or turn away from anyone — a player, a teammate, a friend, a family member — who sought my help in any capacity. As a coach, I understood the weight of my responsibility to protect my players and act accordingly. The suggestion that I would do otherwise is completely false.' The university also issued a statement on Friday, insisting that it has a 'zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,'as well as a 'robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student well-being' and 'a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office.' 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all,' the statement concluded. Cooper was on the Boston team from 2013 to 2015 with a full athletic scholarship. As she explained in 'Call Her Alex,' she did not feel she could speak out as it would jeopardize that scholarship. In the two-part Hulu series, the podcaster said she noticed Feldman 'really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine, and it was confusing,' during her sophomore year of college. She added that her coach leveraged field time in exchange for stories about Cooper's sex life and dating history. Cooper claimed she also made specific comments about her body and 'always wanted to be alone with me.' She also alleged in the documentary that the BU athletic director Drew Marrochello, who per the university's website still serves in this position, declined to hear the evidence of harassment when her parents tried to present it to him. According to Boston University, Feldman retired in 2022. Toward the end of filming the documentary, Cooper said she found out that other women younger than her experienced the same abuse she did at the hands of her soccer coach. 'Everything changed for me that day,' she said in an episode of her podcast this week. The post Alex Cooper's Former Coach Says She Has 'No Recollection' of Harassment Alleged in 'Call Me Alex' appeared first on TheWrap.

Alex Cooper's alma mater responds after she accuses college soccer coach of sexual harassment
Days after Alex Cooper accused her former college soccer coach of sexual harassment, Boston University has responded. The host of the popular 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, who made the allegations in a two-part Hulu documentary that premiered Tuesday after screening Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival, played Division I soccer at the university for three years, during which time Cooper claims coach Nancy Feldman made inappropriate comments about her body and sex life, engaged in controlling behavior and touched her thigh. 'Nancy Feldman was someone I trusted. Someone I believed in. Someone who was supposed to help me grow. Someone who was supposed to protect me,' Cooper wrote Thursday on Instagram. 'But instead she made my life a living hell and abused her power over me.' In the same post, Cooper said she reported the abuse to athletic director Drew Marrochello, who she said ignored her complaints. The university addressed the allegations in a statement obtained Thursday by People and other news outlets. 'Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment. We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office,' the statement reads. 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.' While Cooper's documentary began as a way to show behind-the-scenes footage of her 2023 Unwell Tour, a visit to Boston University — specifically the soccer field — brought her emotions back to the surface, she said in Tuesday's brief episode of 'Call Her Daddy' titled 'My College Soccer Trauma.' 'The minute I stepped on that field, I felt so small,' Cooper said. 'I felt like I was 18 years old again, completely powerless, with no voice.' Cooper said 'everything changed' when she discovered that other women had alleged similar experiences with Feldman. She decided that she needed to speak out after talking to one of the women. 'If a woman in my position, who has power and a platform, is still fearful, is still scared of speaking out about my own lived experience of sexual harassment, how the hell will any other woman feel safe and confident to come forward?' Cooper asked in the episode. Since 'Call Her Alex' premiered, TikTok user @sizzlinghotsarah shared her own experience with Feldman, alleging that the soccer coach harassed her for her sexuality. Cooper responded to the post, 'I'm sick I'm so sorry she did this to you. Reaching out to u privately.' Feldman retired in 2022, but Cooper claims the harassment continues under her successor. 'Call Her Alex' also traces her journey to becoming one of the top podcasters in the world. Featured in the documentary are Cooper's former co-host Sofia Franklyn, husband Matt Kaplan, lifelong friend Lauren McMullen, who is an executive producer on the podcast, and Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports — the previous home of 'Call Her Daddy.' Cooper has become known for her revelatory interviews with everyone from Hailey Bieber and Paris Hilton to Monica Lewinsky and Jane Goodall. Last year, Cooper sat down with then-Vice President and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris — chronicled in the documentary. Cooper created her own podcast network, Unwell, in 2023 and has hired emerging talent including Madeline Argy, Owen Thiele and Alix Earle, who abruptly left in February. In August 2024, Cooper signed a $125-million deal with SiriusXM.

Alex Cooper's Former Assistant Coach Speaks Out After Podcaster Accuses Head Coach of Sexual Harassment
Alex Cooper's former assistant soccer coach, Casey Brown, broke her silence after the podcaster accused former Boston University soccer head coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment in Call Her Alex on Hulu Feldman, who retired from her collegiate coaching position in 2022, reportedly made comments about Cooper's body, asked invasive questions about her sex life and touched her thighs, as the podcaster alleged in her Hulu series Cooper claimed the school's athletic officials did not take action after Cooper and her parents provided written documentation of Feldman's inappropriate interactionsAlex Cooper's former assistant soccer coach, Casey Brown, broke her silence after the podcaster accused head coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment during her time on the team at Boston University (BU). In a recent interview with The Boston Globe published on Friday, June 13, Cooper elaborated on the sexual harassment claims she made public in Hulu's Call Her Alex released three days prior, and cited a time she was called into BU's athletic complex with both Feldman and Brown. Cooper recalled getting over a case of mononucleosis during her collegiate soccer stint, one of many players on the team who had been infected at the time. Cooper alleged to The Globe that she was the only player called into the office to explain "who" she's been with and "how" she got it. Per the Globe, Cooper said she turned to Brown and "locked eyes" with her. "'Casey, help me'," she pleaded, the outlet reported, noting that Brown turned away. Cooper alleged that Brown "did nothing about it." In a statement to the Globe, Brown said she had "no recollection of what has been suggested" by Cooper. "But let me be absolutely clear: I would never ignore, dismiss or turn away from anyone — a player, a teammate, a friend, a family member — who sought my help in any capacity. As a coach, I understood the weight of my responsibility to protect my players and act accordingly. The suggestion that I would do otherwise is completely false," Brown told the outlet. On Thursday, June 13, Boston University responded to Cooper's sexual harassment allegations made against Nancy Feldman in a statement shared with PEOPLE. "Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment. We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office," the college wrote. "We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all," the statement concluded. The Hulu documentary — which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on June 8 — sheds light on Cooper's claims about her experience playing soccer at Boston University. She was on the team from 2013 to 2015 with a full athletic scholarship, and in the docuseries, the social media star noted her tuition source as a reason why she felt unable to speak out about Feldman's alleged abuse. "If I didn't follow this woman's rules, I was gone," the Call Her Daddy host said. She claimed that Feldman started to "fixate" on Cooper during her sophomore year. The coach allegedly made comments about Cooper's legs and would touch her thigh. She also claimed Feldman asked invasive questions about the player's sex life. "It was this psychotic game of, 'You want to play? Tell me about your sex life,' " Cooper alleged. "I felt so deeply uncomfortable." According to Cooper, she spoke about the alleged sexual harassment with her parents, who contacted lawyers. However, the lawyers warned Cooper that the university would drag out a case for years. Cooper did not play soccer during her senior year of college, but she did retain her scholarship. Boston University athletics officials also allegedly did not take action after Cooper and her parents provided written documentation of Feldman's inappropriate interactions. The college also did not fire the coach, though she later retired in 2022. Feldman, Boston University and the school's athletic department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment at the time of the Tribeca Festival premiere of Call Her Alex on June 8. During a Q&A held after the premiere, Cooper revealed why she decided to speak up about the allegations 10 years later. Her decision to do so was partly because of the docuseries, which was directed by Ry Russo-Young. While making Call Her Alex, they visited the university's soccer field, and Cooper said the director encouraged her to reflect on what happened during her athletic career there. "I was nervous and scared, and so [Russo-Young] was incredibly supportive and just said, 'Let's just go and let's see what comes up,'" Cooper said during the Q&A. "The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small," she continued. "I just felt like I was 18 years old again, and I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power, and I felt like I wasn't the Call Her Daddy girl. I wasn't someone who had money and influence or whatever. I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most." Cooper also said during the Q&A that the whole saga was "frustrating" for her because she wanted to encourage women to come forward with their stories, but when she did, it was met with disbelief. However, the media personality notes that she's "not ashamed" that it took her 10 years to come forward. "But it makes me question a lot, and I think this documentary, as difficult as it was to explore, I actually think this is just the beginning," she said. "It's really opened my eyes to how difficult the system is, and it's so built against us as women."
