Don Studey: What Green Hollow's Failed Investigation Missed

Four cadaver dog alerts. A property that reportedly spans over 400 acres. Numerous wells — some wet, some dry, many filled in over the decades. And the FBI spent parts of three days there before announcing they found nothing and walking away. That's the 2022 Green Hollow investigation in a nutshell — and it's the investigation that Lucy Studey-McKiddy says was doomed from the start because they allegedly searched the wrong well. Lucy wasn't reportedly on site to guide them. The agencies drilled into what she says was the water well, not the dry well where she alleges her father Donald Studey disposed of the bodies of dozens of women he allegedly killed over decades. Since that investigation closed, the case has only grown more troubling. Charlotte Studey — one of Don's wives — reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha. Self-inflicted, they said. A re-autopsy reportedly paid for by a documentary production team concluded the original findings didn't add up. Charlotte's manner of death has been officially reclassified as undetermined. Her three daughters are reportedly fighting Omaha police in court to access the sealed investigation files. In May 2025, a private forensic dig at Green Hollow reportedly used ground-penetrating radar and additional cadaver dogs. Both allegedly produced hits in areas that had never been fully searched. No conclusive remains have been recovered from any dig. But the hits keep coming. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who investigated this case independently on the ground in Green Hollow, breaks down what happened and what was missed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
