The allegations are staggering. Dozens of women, allegedly taken over decades. Buried in wells on a rural Iowa property. Covered in lye. And the man at the center of it all — Donald Dean Studey — died in 2013 without ever being charged. His daughter Lucy Studey-McKiddy has been making these claims since 2007. She says she was a child when she allegedly helped her father dispose of bodies in the remote Green Hollow area near Thurman, Iowa. She says the women were allegedly vulnerable — transient women, women at bus stops, women with no one looking for them. Studey reportedly had a violent history and multiple wives, several of whom died under suspicious circumstances. 

Charlotte Studey's 1984 gunshot death in Omaha — ruled self-inflicted for decades — has been officially reclassified as undetermined after a re-autopsy. In 2022, the FBI and Iowa DCI went to the property after cadaver dogs reportedly alerted at multiple locations. They spent parts of three days, drilled a well Lucy says was the wrong one, and closed the case. A production team has since reportedly spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars investigating. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders reportedly reveals new evidence and alleged accomplice testimony. 

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who spent over a year investigating this case in Green Hollow, joins the conversation with what he found, what the documentary reveals, and what comes next for the alleged victims who still have no names.
