Don Studey: Green Hollow's Alleged Monster in Plain Sight

Green Hollow, Iowa. A remote stretch of wooded hills and deep ravines about 40 miles from Omaha. For decades, it was allegedly the hunting ground of Donald Dean Studey — a man his own daughter now calls a monster. Lucy Studey-McKiddy says she was a child the first time she helped her father at the well. She says she carried bags of lye. She says she knew what the well was for. And she says her father allegedly killed dozens of women over a span of decades, targeting women who were vulnerable — reportedly transient women, women at bus stops and truck stops, women with no one waiting for them at home. The allegations first surfaced publicly in 2007 and made global headlines in 2022 when cadaver dogs reportedly alerted at multiple locations across the Green Hollow property. But the story goes back much further than that. Don Studey reportedly had a violent criminal history and multiple wives, several of whom died under circumstances that have never been satisfactorily explained. Charlotte Studey reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha — officially self-inflicted until a re-autopsy led to a reclassification to undetermined. Lucy's mother reportedly died by hanging in 1970 amid evidence of a beating. Studey's own sister reportedly kept a journal describing alleged killings and confirmed the wells were a graveyard. No charges were ever filed. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta spent over a year on the ground in Green Hollow investigating this case and shares what he found.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
