He drove six hours. He infiltrated an FBI dig. He uncovered a John Wayne Gacy connection nobody saw coming. And he spent sixteen months on the ground investigating the most disturbing unsolved case in Iowa true crime. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta tells the full story of his time inside the Don Studey case — the alleged Green Hollow Killer — for the first time. It starts with a Newsweek article about a woman named Lucy Studey-McKiddy who alleges her father killed dozens of women and buried them in wells in Green Hollow, a remote area near Thurman, Iowa, about forty miles from Omaha. Bob made contact, spent over a hundred hours probing her story, drove to the property when the FBI moved in, and got waved past a checkpoint in a rental Caprice that looked like a cop car. He watched the dig from the fence line. A deputy told him Gacy's first victim was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family. In the nearby towns of Tabor and Thurman, locals lined up to share their stories — Don was the boogeyman, the man everyone was warned about. Bob uncovered alleged ties to the Kansas City mob and an unsolved robbery. Lucy's sister Susan spent the whole time calling Lucy a liar. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake breaks down the behavioral evidence. After three days the feds packed up and said they found nothing. Lucy says they searched the wrong well. Bob says the story isn't over. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming now. Full conversation with Tony Brueski, Robin Drake, and Bob Motta.
