Four bodies found in Fall Creek, Pleasant Run Creek and the White River during a two-week period led some people on social media to theorize that there is a serial killer in Indianapolis.
Police are still investigating, but they believe the deaths are unrelated.
Investigators are, however, still learning more over time about an accused serial killer from the 1990s and his victims.
Here's what to know.
At the time of publication, there is not a reported serial killer in Indianapolis. The investigation into bodies found in water recently is still ongoing.
While there isn't an active serial killer, there is still an active serial killer investigation: The Fox Hollow Farm murders.
Herb Baumeister, the man who is believed to be the culprit behind the Fox Hollow Farm murders, is perhaps the most infamous serial killer in the Indianapolis area. Investigators believe he killed numerous men during the 1990s as remains were discovered on his farm in Westfield.
The work to identify his victims is still ongoing. Only 10 suspected victims have been identified at this point, but there are estimated to be 25.

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.
Authorities never got the chance to interview the suspected serial killer. Before law enforcement could arrest him, Baumeister fled to Canada, where he shot and killed himself at an Ontario park near Lake Huron.
