Don Studey: What Green Hollow's Documentary Just Exposed

A daughter's allegations. A community's reported silence. A failed investigation. And now, reportedly, an alleged accomplice speaking on camera for the first time. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders represents the most comprehensive public examination of the case against Donald Dean Studey — a man his daughter Lucy alleges killed dozens of women in rural Iowa over decades and buried them on the family's property near Thurman. The three-part series, directed by Aengus James, was reportedly built over more than three years of investigation. The production team funded private forensic digs, cadaver dog searches, and the exhumation and re-autopsy of Charlotte Studey — one of Don's wives whose 1984 gunshot death in Omaha has been officially reclassified from self-inflicted to undetermined. The filmmakers say the documentary reveals previously unreported evidence and new witnesses, including someone described as an alleged accomplice who reportedly kept the secret for years. That testimony — if it holds up — could be what finally forces law enforcement to take another serious look at Green Hollow. But the uncomfortable truth remains: no conclusive human remains have been recovered. Studey is dead. The alleged victims — reportedly vulnerable women, many of them transient — still don't have names and their families may still be waiting for answers. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta investigated this case on the ground before the documentary was produced and shares what he knows.
