Don Studey: Green Hollow's Silence Allegedly Broken on Camera

Don Studey: Green Hollow's Silence Allegedly Broken on Camera

Author: Real Story Media May 6, 2026 Duration: 19:30

For years, it was Lucy Studey-McKiddy's word against silence. She alleged her father killed dozens of women in rural Iowa. Agencies investigated, found nothing, and closed the case. Her siblings were divided. The public moved on. Now, reportedly, someone else is talking. 

The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders features what's described as testimony from an alleged accomplice — someone who reportedly witnessed what happened in Green Hollow and kept quiet for years. That's a significant shift. If credible, it means Lucy is no longer the sole source. The documentary is a three-part series that's the product of more than three years of investigation by director Aengus James and his production team. 

They reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars funding private forensic work — including the exhumation and re-autopsy of Charlotte Studey, whose 1984 gunshot death in Omaha has been officially reclassified from self-inflicted to undetermined. They brought in cadaver dogs, ground-penetrating radar, and forensic anthropologists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. And they say they found evidence that hasn't been made public until now. No human remains have been conclusively recovered. Donald Studey died in 2013. The alleged victims are still nameless. But the pressure is building. Criminal defense attorney 

Bob Motta, who investigated this case independently in Green Hollow, discusses the documentary, the new testimony, and whether this is finally enough to reopen the case.
