What Was Found on Don Studey's Green Hollow Fence Line

Picture this. It's pitch black. You're driving a rental car that looks like a cop cruiser into a remote Iowa hollow where a woman alleges her father buried dozens of bodies in wells. There are no lights. No street lamps. Nothing. Just dirt roads and the kind of darkness that makes you question your life choices. That's how Bob Motta's first night in Green Hollow started. The criminal defense attorney and Defense Diaries podcast host had been investigating the Don Studey case — the alleged Green Hollow Killer — for months when he got a call that federal agencies were moving on the property near Thurman, Iowa. He drove six hours, arrived after dark, and immediately drove into the hollow to see what he could find.

By the next morning he was going viral on TikTok, every local cop was watching his content, and he'd talked his way past a checkpoint and onto the fence line overlooking the FBI's dig site. He watched them core-drill a well to at least eighty-five feet deep. He saw the pink ribbon markers where cadaver dogs had alerted. And he was on the phone with Lucy Studey-McKiddy the entire time — relaying what he was seeing while she screamed that the feds were at the wrong well. Three days later, the agencies closed the case and said they found nothing. Lucy says they drilled the wrong one. Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake, and Bob Motta tell the whole story — and it's only part one.
