MY SERIAL KILLER DAD MURDERED 70 GALS!
I helped hide their corpses
BOOZE-FUELED Iowa farmer Donald Dean Studey horrifically murdered 70 women by brutally smashing and kicking their brains in, according to his daughter Lucy, who claims she helped the sick serial killer bury his victims’ bodies!
Now the Fremont County Sheriff’s Department is trying to confirm Lucy’s terrifying tale nine years after her father died at age 75!
But Sheriff Kevin Aistrope says he believes Lucy “100 percent” and reveals cadaversniffing dogs have already made “hits” on the five-acre farm on Green Hollow Road near the remote hamlet of Thurman. Aistrope says Studey’s rampage — which includes up to 70 women and two male victims — would make him one of the most monstrous serial killers in history.
Lucy says her twice-wed
dad — who had “love” and “hate” tattooed on his knuckles — terrorized her and her four siblings and forced them to dispose of the corpses, tossing them down a 100-foot well and covering the remains with flesh-dissolving lye. Her brother Gary committed suicide at age 39 due to the horror, she says.
Lucy reveals her “routinely drunk” father murdered “five or six a year.” He’d travel 40 miles to the Omaha, Neb., area and hunt for victims to bring back to the farm.
After brutally kicking or pounding gals’ heads to a pulp in his trailer, he’d called his kids to clean up the mess. They would use a toboggan to drag away corpses in the snowy winter or in a wheelbarrow in warmer weather.
“He would just tell us we had to go to the well, and I knew what that meant,” she says. “Every time I went to the well or into the hills, I didn’t think I was coming down.
“I thought he would kill me because I wouldn’t keep my mouth shut.”
Lucy actually went to police in 2007, when Studey was still alive, but they searched the wrong area, coming up with nothing.
“She told us and we went out and there was only one well on the property that we could see, we didn’t realize the hole was on other people’s property,”
says Deputy Sheriff Timothy Bothwell.
Over the years, Lucy says she tried to tell other people, but got nowhere.
“I don’t feel anything for my father,” she says. “Nothing at all. I wanted justice when my father was alive, but he’s gone. I just want for the families some closure and a proper burial.”
