Don Studey: Green Hollow's Alleged Victims Still Have No Names

The body was barely cold and Kouri Richins was already executing the next phase. The morning after her husband died, she signed closing papers on a multimillion-dollar mansion he’d argued against buying. Two days later, she drilled open his safe to get at the cash inside. And then came the moment she learned Eric had outsmarted her from beyond the grave — he’d cut her from his will, his life insurance, and his estate without telling her. She responded by assaulting his sister. In part three of our definitive series, we break down the night of the Moscow Mule and the 72 hours that cracked the facade. The phone data, the 911 call, the brain aneurysm story she fed to police, the locksmith, the punch, the text to her drug connection asking for more pills three days after Eric’s death, and the autopsy results that exposed the truth she’d been hiding. The fentanyl was illicit. Non-medical-grade. Orally ingested. Five times the lethal dose. The brain aneurysm story was dead. And Kouri Richins knew exactly why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A man who reportedly had a documented history of violence and multiple wives — several of whom died under unexplained circumstances. A daughter who has been alleging for nearly two decades that he killed dozens of women and buried them in wells on the family property. An FBI investigation that lasted parts of three days. And now a documentary that reportedly features an alleged accomplice speaking for the first time. Donald Dean Studey lived in Green Hollow, a remote wooded area near Thurman, Iowa, about 40 miles from Omaha. He died in 2013 at 75 without ever being charged in connection with a single homicide. His daughter Lucy Studey-McKiddy alleges he killed dozens of women — reportedly targeting vulnerable women at bus stops and truck stops, women who vanished without anyone searching for them. In 2022, cadaver dogs reportedly alerted across the property. The FBI came, drilled a well Lucy says was the wrong one, and closed the case. Charlotte Studey's 1984 death from a gunshot wound in Omaha — self-inflicted, they said — has been officially reclassified as undetermined after a re-autopsy. Don's own sister reportedly kept a handwritten journal describing alleged killings and told investigators the area near the wells was a graveyard. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders reportedly brings new evidence and witnesses into public view. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta investigated this case independently on the ground in Green Hollow and shares what the public still doesn't know.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael Jackson walked out of a California courthouse a free man. Then he left the country. Then he never set foot in Neverland again. Whatever the verdict meant legally, it cost him something no jury could return.This episode is the 2005 criminal trial in full. The Martin Bashir documentary where Jackson held a boy’s hand on camera and told the world that sharing his bed with children wasn’t sexual. The charges that followed. The teenage cancer survivor who testified Jackson abused him. The prosecution’s pattern witnesses who described behavior stretching back a decade. And the defense’s systematic demolition of the accuser’s family — a mother who’d lied under oath, committed welfare fraud, and alienated the jury so completely that one juror called her a scam artist.Then there are the defense witnesses who matter beyond this trial. Macaulay Culkin said nothing happened. Wade Robson said nothing happened — under oath, clearly, convincingly. Robson’s testimony helped acquit Jackson. And then Robson reversed everything. That reversal is the next episode. But this one matters because the acquittal is the most misunderstood moment in this entire saga. Not guilty is a legal determination. Some jurors believed Jackson probably did abuse children. They just couldn’t convict on this case, with this family, under this burden of proof.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forget what you think you know about the Tupac Shakur case. The narrative just shifted. Mopreme Shakur has filed a wrongful death lawsuit that treats the 1996 Las Vegas shooting not as a solved crime with a single suspect — but as a conspiracy with participants who have never been identified, never been questioned under oath, and never been held accountable.The lawsuit targets Keffe D, who faces a first-degree murder trial in August 2026 after being indicted by a Clark County grand jury for allegedly orchestrating the drive-by that took Tupac's life. But the real weight of this filing is in the one hundred unnamed John Doe defendants. Under civil litigation rules, those designations give the Shakur family access to discovery tools the criminal case does not provide — depositions, document subpoenas, financial records. The kind of evidence that follows money and communication trails, not just ballistic reports.The complaint cites two sources of new evidence: grand jury transcripts from Keffe D's criminal proceedings and the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which aired proffer session recordings and alleged details about pre-shooting meetings, financial promises, and a coordination network that — according to the family's attorneys — suggests the conspiracy extended well beyond the men in the car. Quinn Emanuel, one of the most recognized trial firms in the nation, is representing the family. That is a strategic statement on its own.This case also carries an emotional urgency the legal filings cannot fully capture. Afeni Shakur — Tupac's mother — is gone. Mutulu Shakur — his stepfather — is gone. The alleged triggerman has been dead since 1998. Mopreme is fighting a clock as much as he is fighting a legal battle, and he is doing it with every tool the civil court system can provide.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What do you do when you hire investigators to look into your own organization and they come back saying your top leadership needs to go?If you're Greater Grace World Outreach, apparently, you publish the report and then do as little as possible about it.The GRACE investigation was 172 pages. It named four leaders who should be removed. It described an authoritarian culture rooted in fear-based messaging and theological manipulation. It found that leadership had been involved in silencing victims and smoothing over allegations in ways the investigators described as consistent with a cover-up.The church responded with a general apology that named no specific individuals who failed. They published a roadmap that referenced future leadership transitions with no dates and no commitments. Some lower-level ordinations were revoked. But the senior pastor, the missions director, the youth pastor, and the youth ministry director — all four specifically named — remained in place. Then the church resigned from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability while under governance review.Elita Galvin has been watching every move. She started publicly investigating Greater Grace in 2023, well before the official process began, and now hosts the Looking for Grace podcast. She understands the investigation findings, the church's response, and the parallels to the IBLP system that our audience already knows from covering the Duggar family.Oscar, joining us under a pseudonym, offers something different — the voice of someone who left two decades ago and still gets physically sick trying to process the report's contents. This episode is about what broke the silence, what the investigation revealed, and whether this institution is capable of the accountability the report demands.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four cadaver dog alerts. A property that reportedly spans over 400 acres. Numerous wells — some wet, some dry, many filled in over the decades. And the FBI spent parts of three days there before announcing they found nothing and walking away. That's the 2022 Green Hollow investigation in a nutshell — and it's the investigation that Lucy Studey-McKiddy says was doomed from the start because they allegedly searched the wrong well. Lucy wasn't reportedly on site to guide them. The agencies drilled into what she says was the water well, not the dry well where she alleges her father Donald Studey disposed of the bodies of dozens of women he allegedly killed over decades. Since that investigation closed, the case has only grown more troubling. Charlotte Studey — one of Don's wives — reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha. Self-inflicted, they said. A re-autopsy reportedly paid for by a documentary production team concluded the original findings didn't add up. Charlotte's manner of death has been officially reclassified as undetermined. Her three daughters are reportedly fighting Omaha police in court to access the sealed investigation files. In May 2025, a private forensic dig at Green Hollow reportedly used ground-penetrating radar and additional cadaver dogs. Both allegedly produced hits in areas that had never been fully searched. No conclusive remains have been recovered from any dig. But the hits keep coming. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who investigated this case independently on the ground in Green Hollow, breaks down what happened and what was missed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She carried the bags of lye. She was a child. And she says she knew exactly what was at the bottom of that well. Lucy Studey-McKiddy has spent nearly two decades alleging that her father, Donald Dean Studey, was responsible for the deaths of dozens of women in rural Iowa. The alleged killings reportedly stretched back to the 1970s, centered on a remote wooded area called Green Hollow near Thurman — a place so isolated and so tied to Studey that neighbors reportedly warned their children to stay away. Don Studey had a documented violent history. Reports describe threats against family members, domestic abuse, and a reputation that allegedly preceded him everywhere. He reportedly had multiple wives, and the women closest to him have an alarming pattern of death. Charlotte Studey reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha — originally called self-inflicted, now officially reclassified as undetermined after a re-autopsy. Lucy's own mother reportedly died from a hanging in 1970 in a scene investigators allegedly described as bloodied. Studey's sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a journal spanning more than a hundred pages that allegedly documented violence and alleged killings. She reportedly told investigators that her brother confirmed the area near his wells was a graveyard. Despite all of it, Donald Studey was never charged with a single homicide. He died in 2013 at 75. Now, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — who spent over a year investigating this case on the ground — shares what he found and what the public still doesn't know.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Richins called his business partner on Valentine’s Day 2022 with fear in his voice. He’d just eaten a sandwich his wife made him and couldn’t breathe. He broke out in hives. He grabbed his son’s EpiPen. And he told his friend what he believed was happening: his wife was trying to end his life. Two weeks later, he was dead. In part two of our five-part definitive series, we dissect the plan behind Kouri Richins’ murder of her husband — a plan built on three pillars. The affair with a handyman she controlled financially and emotionally. The $2.2 million in life insurance she stacked on Eric’s life through forged applications and secret policies. And the fentanyl she procured in escalating doses through her housekeeper, each purchase confirmed by cell phone location data that neither woman thought to hide. This is the story of how a suburban mom who couldn’t spell “fentanyl” obtained enough of it to ensure her husband would never wake up again.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The evidentiary landscape across these three cases reveals patterns that your questions have been tracking with precision. From forensic trace analysis in the D4VD case to chain of custody disputes in Idaho to excluded alternative suspect evidence in Delphi, the investigative details expose alleged systemic gaps at every level.In the D4VD case, prosecutors say LAPD’s Trace Analysis Unit found plastic from an inflatable pool lodged in wounds on Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains. Amazon and Postmates records allegedly tie the purchase of that pool, along with chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage, to David Anthony Burke under the alias Victoria Mendez. Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains he did not cause Celeste’s death.In Idaho, the defense forensic scientist who reviewed the Ka-Bar knife sheath alleges the evidence bag was documented retroactively and that the chain of custody was legally insufficient. The FBI confirmed that a hair found near one of the victims does not belong to Bryan Kohberger. It has reportedly never been fully processed.In Delphi, Richard Allen’s reply brief details what the defense says the jury was denied: the composite sketch, testimony challenging bullet-matching evidence, audio from Allen’s solitary confinement, the Kegan Kline catfish connection, and evidence pointing to alternative suspects whose interviews were allegedly recorded over and whose weapons were never collected.Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski take listener questions across all three cases, connecting the forensic, investigative, and procedural threads your messages keep pulling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
