Herb Baumeister killed himself in 1996 as investigators sought to question him after 10,000 charred bones were found at his estate.

A renewed effort to identify thousands of bones found at the Indiana estate of a long-deceased businessman suspected in a string of killings has pushed the number of his presumed victims to 13, a coroner said Tuesday, marking another grim update in a case that has spanned decades.Four new DNA profiles have been obtained through the push to identify the remains and they will be sent to the FBI for a genetic genealogy analysis to hopefully identify them, said Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison.

'That is the most efficient way that we'll be able to identify these remains,' he said.So far, that effort has identified three men based on DNA extracted from the bones. Two of those turned out to be among eight men identified in the 1990s as potential victims of Baumeister: Jeffrey A. Jones and Manuel Resendez.Jones was 31 and Resendez, 34, when they were reported missing in 1993.
