A little girl carried bags of lye to a well on her father's property in rural Iowa. She says she knew what was at the bottom. She says she thought every trip to that well might be her last. Lucy Studey-McKiddy has been alleging since 2007 that her father, Donald Dean Studey, killed dozens of women and buried them in wells in the remote Green Hollow area near Thurman, Iowa — Fremont County, about forty miles from Omaha. The alleged victims were reportedly vulnerable women targeted near bus stops and truck stops, women who disappeared without anyone searching for them. Don Studey had a documented violent history — and the women closest to him kept dying. His wife Lucy reportedly died by hanging in 1970. Lucy McKiddy says her father allegedly told her for decades he didn't mean to do it, that he choked her too hard or too long. His wife Charlotte reportedly died from a rifle shot to the head in Omaha in 1984 — she was five-two, and nothing was documented at the scene that she could have used to trigger the weapon. That death was classified as self-inflicted for nearly forty years until a 2023 re-autopsy found a possible defensive wound on her arm and reclassified her manner of death as undetermined. The original crime scene and autopsy photos are missing from Omaha police records. Don's sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a hundred-and-sixty-eight-page journal describing alleged killings and told investigators the body count could be as high as a hundred. The FBI investigated in 2022. Cadaver dogs alerted at four locations across the Green Hollow property. After three days, the feds packed up and said they found nothing. Lucy says they drilled the wrong well on a property spanning over four hundred and twenty acres. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries — tells the full story of his sixteen months on the ground inside this case. He drove six hours. He infiltrated an FBI dig by getting waved past a checkpoint in a rental Caprice that looked like a cop car. He watched from the fence line. A deputy told him that the first victim of John Wayne Gacy 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. He spent over a hundred hours probing Lucy's account. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake breaks down the behavioral evidence — what Don Studey's alleged pattern reveals, what the documented deaths of his wives tell an investigator, and why the FBI's three-day dig raises more questions than it answered. Lucy's sister Susan spent the investigation calling Lucy a liar. The family is split. The wells have not been fully searched. And the Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming now with new witnesses and alleged accomplice testimony that were not part of the original investigation. Bob says the story is not over. The women of Green Hollow are still waiting.
