Description

For years, it was Lucy Studey-McKiddy's word against silence. She alleged her father killed dozens of women in rural Iowa. Agencies investigated, found nothing, and closed the case. Her siblings were divided. The public moved on. Now, reportedly, someone else is talking.  The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders features what's described as testimony from an alleged accomplice — someone who reportedly witnessed what happened in Green Hollow and kept quiet for years. That's a significant shift. If credible, it means Lucy is no longer the sole source. The documentary is a three-part series that's the product of more than three years of investigation by director Aengus James and his production team.  They reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars funding private forensic work — including the exhumation and re-autopsy of Charlotte Studey, whose 1984 gunshot death in Omaha has been officially reclassified from self-inflicted to undetermined. They brought in cadaver dogs, ground-penetrating radar, and forensic anthropologists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. And they say they found evidence that hasn't been made public until now. No human remains have been conclusively recovered. Donald Studey died in 2013. The alleged victims are still nameless. But the pressure is building. Criminal defense attorney  Bob Motta, who investigated this case independently in Green Hollow, discusses the documentary, the new testimony, and whether this is finally enough to reopen the case.

Mopreme Shakur Sues — Names Keffe D and 100 John Does

The family of Tupac Shakur just made the most aggressive legal move in the nearly thirty-year history of this case. Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court that names Keffe D as the primary defendant and designates up to one hundred additional unnamed individuals as co-conspirators. The filing argues that Tupac's 1996 killing was not a spontaneous act of retaliation — it was a coordinated conspiracy involving people who have never faced a single question under oath. This is the second wrongful death lawsuit connected to Tupac's case, but it bears almost no resemblance to the first. Afeni Shakur's 1997 suit targeted Orlando Anderson alone. That case died when Anderson was killed in 1998. The new lawsuit is built on an entirely different evidentiary foundation — grand jury transcripts that emerged from Keffe D's criminal proceedings and allegations aired in the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The complaint describes alleged pre-shooting meetings, financial incentives, and a network of individuals who the family believes helped set the killing in motion. Keffe D has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and awaits trial in August 2026. He once described the shooting in detail in a published memoir and in recorded interviews, but now claims innocence and says he regrets ever speaking publicly about the case. The prosecution is building its case largely on his own statements. The civil suit adds another layer entirely — because in civil court, the Shakur family can compel testimony from individuals who were never charged and access records the criminal case may never touch. With Afeni and Mutulu Shakur both gone, Mopreme is the last member of the immediate family actively pursuing legal accountability. He filed with Quinn Emanuel at his side — and a clear message that the family is not finished.

Greater Grace Report: Leadership Named and Still in Place

The independent investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach didn't pull punches. It named four leaders who should be removed — the senior pastor, the missions director, the youth pastor, and the youth ministry director. It said the organization couldn't meaningfully reform while they remained in authority. It described a culture of authoritarian control, victim silencing, and institutional self-protection spanning decades. The church published the report on its own website. Then came the reckoning — or what should have been one. What actually happened: a general apology with no specific names attached to specific failures. A roadmap for future transitions with no dates. Some lower-level ordinations pulled. The four named leaders still in place. And when an evangelical financial accountability organization put the church under governance review, Greater Grace resigned rather than complete the process. For the former members who spent years building the case that made this investigation happen — the Millstones, the survivors, the people who risked everything to speak — the response confirmed what they already suspected: the same leadership that created the problem isn't going to fix it. Elita Galvin has been tracking this from before the official investigation existed. Her podcast Looking for Grace has become the running record of Greater Grace's unraveling. Oscar — under a pseudonym, still navigating the trauma twenty years after leaving — brings the human cost of what happens when an institution you trusted refuses to account for what it did to you. This episode covers the investigation's key findings, the institutional response, the IBLP and Duggar parallels, the active lawsuits, and what comes next.

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.

Don Studey: Green Hollow's Alleged Monster in Plain Sight

Green Hollow, Iowa. A remote stretch of wooded hills and deep ravines about 40 miles from Omaha. For decades, it was allegedly the hunting ground of Donald Dean Studey — a man his own daughter now calls a monster. Lucy Studey-McKiddy says she was a child the first time she helped her father at the well.  She says she carried bags of lye. She says she knew what the well was for. And she says her father allegedly killed dozens of women over a span of decades, targeting women who were vulnerable — reportedly transient women, women at bus stops and truck stops, women with no one waiting for them at home.  The allegations first surfaced publicly in 2007 and made global headlines in 2022 when cadaver dogs reportedly alerted at multiple locations across the Green Hollow property. But the story goes back much further than that. Don Studey reportedly had a violent criminal history and multiple wives, several of whom died under circumstances that have never been satisfactorily explained.  Charlotte Studey reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha — officially self-inflicted until a re-autopsy led to a reclassification to undetermined. Lucy's mother reportedly died by hanging in 1970 amid evidence of a beating. Studey's own sister reportedly kept a journal describing alleged killings and confirmed the wells were a graveyard. No charges were ever filed. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta spent over a year on the ground in Green Hollow investigating this case and shares what he found.
