Don Studey: Will Green Hollow's Documentary Force a Reopening?

What does it take to force law enforcement back to a case they've already closed? Maybe millions of people watching. My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming on Paramount+ — a three-part documentary that reportedly delivers what nearly two decades of allegations haven't been able to produce on their own: new witnesses, previously unreported evidence, and the testimony of an alleged accomplice who reportedly says they know what happened in Green Hollow.

The case against Donald Dean Studey — who allegedly killed dozens of women in rural Iowa and buried them on property near Thurman — has been stuck in the same place for years. His daughter Lucy has been talking since 2007. Cadaver dogs have reportedly alerted. Charlotte Studey's death has been officially reclassified from self-inflicted to undetermined. And law enforcement has maintained that nothing was found. The documentary's production team reportedly spent over three years investigating.

They funded a re-autopsy, forensic digs, and ground-penetrating radar searches. Director Aengus James has said his team walked away believing they've made real investigative progress. The question now is whether public pressure from millions of viewers can accomplish what Lucy's allegations and cadaver dog alerts reportedly could not — getting agencies with badges and subpoena power back to that Iowa hillside with the kind of resources this case may demand. Criminal defense attorney

Bob Motta, who investigated this case firsthand in Green Hollow, shares his perspective on the documentary and what comes next.
