Don Studey: What Green Hollow's Re-Autopsy Just Revealed

Crime scene photos missing. A defensive wound on a dead wife's arm. A father who allegedly told his daughter he choked her mother too hard. And an alleged accomplice who reportedly kept the secret of Green Hollow for years. The case of Donald Dean Studey should have been investigated decades ago — and it's only getting more disturbing.

Lucy Studey-McKiddy alleges her father killed dozens of women over decades in the remote Green Hollow area near Thurman, Iowa, about forty miles from Omaha in Fremont County. She says she was a child when she carried bags of lye to the wells where her father allegedly disposed of bodies. She says the alleged victims were vulnerable women — reportedly transient women targeted near Omaha bus stops and truck stops, women with no one searching for them.

Don Studey reportedly had a violent criminal history. Law enforcement allegedly treated calls to his property as a two-officer minimum. His sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a journal spanning over a hundred and sixty-eight pages describing alleged violence and killings, and told investigators her brother was a hitman who killed with ease.

Multiple women connected to Studey died under suspicious circumstances across different states and decades. Charlotte Studey reportedly died from a single rifle shot to the head in 1984 in Omaha — her manner of death was ruled self-inflicted until a 2023 re-autopsy found evidence suggesting she may have raised her arm to defend herself and reclassified the gunshot range from point-blank to indeterminate. The original crime scene and autopsy photographs have vanished from Omaha police records. Charlotte's daughters are reportedly fighting in court to unseal the investigation files.

In 2022 the FBI spent three days at Green Hollow after cadaver dogs alerted at four locations — and closed the case.

The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders reportedly brings new witnesses and alleged accomplice testimony to light.
