Don Studey: Green Hollow Evidence Nobody Can Explain

The dogs reportedly alerted at four locations. That's supposed to mean something. Cadaver dogs are trained to detect the presence of human remains, and when multiple dogs independently alert across a property, it's typically treated as a serious indicator. 

But when that happened at Green Hollow in 2022 — on the Iowa property where Lucy Studey-McKiddy alleges her father Donald Studey buried dozens of women he allegedly killed — the response was a three-day dig, a drilled well, and a closed case. Lucy says they searched the wrong well on a property that reportedly covers more than 400 acres. She reportedly wasn't even present to direct the search. 

Since then, a documentary production crew has reportedly invested years and hundreds of thousands of dollars continuing to investigate. They funded a re-autopsy of Charlotte Studey — one of Don's wives — who reportedly died in 1984 from a gunshot wound to the head in Omaha. That death was ruled self-inflicted for decades. It's now officially classified as undetermined. Charlotte's daughters are reportedly fighting in court to unseal the Omaha police files. 

A forensic dig in May 2025 reportedly produced additional cadaver dog alerts and ground-penetrating radar hits in areas never fully searched. No conclusive remains have been found at Green Hollow from any excavation. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who spent over a year investigating this case on the ground, joins the conversation to break down what happened and what was missed.
