The House by the Water /// Russell and Shirley Dermond /// Part 2 Sep 08, 2026

The House by the Water /// Russell and Shirley Dermond /// Part 2

On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, a woman called 911 from the lakeside home of her friends, Russell and Shirley Dermond.

The elderly couple had been missing for days. Concerned friends went to check on them and made a horrifying discovery inside the garage: Russell Dermond was dead. Shirley was nowhere to be found.

What investigators would uncover next would turn this quiet home on Lake Oconee into the center of one of Georgia’s most baffling unsolved murder mysteries. More than a decade later, the question remains: Who killed Russell and Shirley Dermond—and why?

Join us in the Garage as we discuss The House by the Water.

Part 2 of 2

In 1994, Herbert Baumeister’s son discovered a human skull and bone fragments in the woods. Baumeister, a successful businessman, convinced his wife that the bones were from a medical skeleton belonging to his late father, a doctor. In 1996, police murder investigations regarding several missing men intensified. Baumeister's wife became increasingly suspicious, and she allowed law enforcement to search the family's large property known as “Fox Hollow Farms.” Investigators unearthed nearly 10,000 bones and bone fragments burned and scattered throughout the woods. This week, Nic and the Captain take you through the events leading up to this horrific discovery.

Julie Popovich /// Part 2 /// 948 Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Julie Popovich /// Part 2 /// 948

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

The case of Julie Popovich remains a haunting chapter in central Ohio’s criminal history. The murder shocked the region and some believe that the case continues to raise difficult questions about justice, public records, and the rights of people who claim they were wrongfully convicted. Julie Popovich was an aspiring young model from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Her death in 2005 drew widespread attention, not only because of the brutality and sadness surrounding the crime, but also because of the young life that had been cut short. In the years that followed, prosecutors built a case against Adam Saleh, who was accused, tried, and ultimately convicted of Popovich’s murder and kidnapping. Using the trial transcripts we present to you a case that is still much talked about in central Ohio still to this day. From behind bars, however, Adam Saleh continues to maintain that he is innocent. Saleh turned to the Ohio Innocence Project, a group based at the University of Cincinnati College of Law that investigates claims of wrongful conviction.
