TVTranscript
00:03The first time I remember my dad killing somebody was when we lived in Bartlett, Iowa.
00:09It was around 1973, and I was probably four years old.
00:16When my dad killed somebody, he would take them to the well.
00:21And he would ask us to carry bags of lye up to the well, because the lye would help decompose
00:29the bodies.
00:32I remember dumping the lye in the well, and it used to, like, float down like a white powdery, cloudy
00:40thing.
00:41And I would just watch it, and it was actually really pretty, you know?
00:46Isn't that weird to think?
00:50How many people do you think Todd killed me?
00:53I couldn't begin to tell you.
00:57Maybe a hundred?
01:00He loves you, or he hates you.
01:02And if he hates you, you're dead.
01:06He said it was a woman's body.
01:08I was carrying the upper torso.
01:10He just acted nonchalant, like it was an everyday occurrence.
01:14He killed her, and made it look like a suicide.
01:18I'm not lying!
01:19There's fucking bodies up there!
01:21He had three, maybe four, wives and or girlfriends who committed suicide.
01:26That's a lot.
01:27I came up here today to defend my family against your fat little mouth.
01:31Do you think I like trying to prove that my dad's a criminal and a murderer?
01:36If your dad did the things you say he did, what you've been looking for all these years is sitting
01:43right behind you under the ground.
01:46There's no question in my mind that Don was a killer.
01:49I think he was the personification of evil.
01:56Police in western Iowa are searching for any sign of a serial killer.
02:07The woman claims her late slaughter killed at least 50 women and used his children to help bury them.
02:35There had long been a story about the monster of Green Hollow.
02:40Green Hollow, who would kill people.
02:44There's different nicknames, but the two that I've heard around here were the Green Hollow Hacker and the Green Hollow
02:52Goatman.
02:54All of the kids, my kid's age, they're calling him the Green Hollow Mauler.
03:00For real.
03:02Growing up in the area, we've heard stories about bodies in a well.
03:08The first time I heard a rumor was probably while I was in high school.
03:12The road used to run clear through Green Hollow.
03:16That was just a spooky drive you'd do on a Saturday night with a bunch of your buddies.
03:21People would come out to gawk because they'd heard of the hollow folk.
03:27And they were chased off with guns.
03:29If that's where the rumor is, do not go up to Green Hollow.
03:34Growing up, we knew not to go around this place and stay away from him.
03:38It was kind of a boogeyman type story.
03:40My mother told me a lot of things that you only thought you knew about in horror stories.
03:50Lucy believes that the monster of Green Hollow is Donald Dean's studio.
04:07I'm rolling.
04:09Hey, Lucy, can you do me a favor?
04:10Can you just clap your hands in front of you?
04:13Okay?
04:14Okay, we're ready.
04:15Oh, that's like a take.
04:16That's like, yeah.
04:17Oh, okay.
04:18I never wanted to be in front of a camera and I am not photogenic.
04:21So.
04:23Okay.
04:25Let's get out of here.
04:26Okay.
04:29What time is 8.35?
04:31Okay.
04:33Okay.
04:37We're going to where my dad used to live, Green Hollow, Iowa.
04:46I don't know why I have a good memory, but I remember things by where we lived and locations.
04:57I remember running around that town.
05:00I remember the train would pass through there.
05:04We'd put pennies on the track.
05:07And they'd be flattened out.
05:11I remember jumping in mud puddles from the potholes.
05:17I remember that we used to play hide and seek and I was little and I thought if I stood
05:20as a statue on top of the washer or dryer that I was actually hiding.
05:27My dad was married five times and my mom was wife number three.
05:34But she died when I was 10 months old.
05:39I grew up with my dad and three full-blooded siblings.
05:45My older brother, Gary, my sister, Susan, and Linda, and then myself.
05:51I'm the youngest out of us four.
05:56After my mom died, we were on the road for a few years.
06:02My dad was a degenerate gambler.
06:04He would bet on the horses.
06:06And when my dad needed money, he had a pipe with cement in it and he would just go find
06:13someone to mug.
06:14And just beat him, take the wallet, and leave.
06:17But one time, outside of Texarkana, there was a guy he hit too hard.
06:23And dad thought for sure he killed him.
06:28When dad and us kids moved back to Green Hollow, he needed someone to watch us.
06:34He would look for women who didn't have a place to stay.
06:41I guess nowadays you'd call them lot lizards, but those were like prostitutes at truck stops and women at bars.
06:49He called them bar slushes.
06:53And he brought them home.
06:57They had a consensual relationship with my dad.
07:00My dad was a very good-looking, charming man.
07:04But eventually, the mental abuse would start, the physical abuse would start, and you could be perfect, and it would
07:12still get worse.
07:15Some of the women were like moms to us.
07:20I remember the lady who started with a D, Darlene, something like that.
07:26I really wanted dad to marry Darlene.
07:29I liked her.
07:31She used to take and trace my ear.
07:36And she'd do that over and over.
07:38And then sometimes she would twist my hair around my ear.
07:42She was nice.
07:45But she did not leave Green Hollow alive.
07:51Unbelievable story tonight.
07:53Unbelievable story.
07:55Bodies in a well.
07:56Like, dozens and dozens and dozens of bodies.
07:59Lucy has told authorities for years that her father demanded she and her siblings help them bury the bodies.
08:06A woman claims that her father was a serial killer.
08:10Cadaver dogs searched the area where Lucy Studi says her father buried bodies.
08:14What is it like, and what did the cadaver dogs find so far?
08:17They naturally were drawn to both the well and other spots.
08:21Lucy's story is wild as it may seem to readers and audiences.
08:27Checked out every word.
08:33The article on Don Studi rocked our world.
08:38Knowing his history with us, it made me sick to my stomach to think I lived with that guy.
08:45I saw the article, and the first thing I thought was, it's about damn time.
08:51When the Newsweek story came out, that's when everything got huge.
08:57I finally had to turn my phone off because, I mean, everybody was calling it.
09:02A lot of reporters start showing up to the point we actually put a no trespassing sign at the front
09:09of the house.
09:11Once the story broke, we just kind of like sat back and watched.
09:18But then we realized that they were trashing Lucy again, and we knew she was telling the truth.
09:27After many discussions, we decided that it was time to reach out and see if we could contact Lucy.
09:34It had been 39 years since we had contact with any of the Studis.
09:40So it was a blessing to be able to reconnect with my stepsister.
09:50This is the entrance of Green Hollow.
09:54You can see how isolated it is, and there's a lot of shit that went on up in these hills
09:59that, you know, that nobody knows about.
10:07Where that trailer house sits is where the end of our trailer was, and our trailer went that way.
10:13That old blue and white trailer house we used to live in.
10:16And then my dad got a better trailer house, and that's where I remember dad killing the women.
10:28Between 1973 up until at least 1980, I remember my dad, on average, killing at least four people a year.
10:50My name is Eric Firkenhoff.
10:53I'm a reporter at Newsweek.
10:54I focus on investigations.
10:56I remember exactly where I was, and this woman called.
11:00She's like, my name's Lucy Studi McKitty, and my dad has been killing people for his whole life.
11:06And hiding them in Iowa.
11:10You know, you get calls from people all the time, especially in investigations.
11:16And vetting these calls is very important.
11:19But you're never going to properly vet a call unless you listen.
11:24She said that her dad would find women, bring them home, kill these women, bring them up to a well
11:32on the Studi property,
11:35and would dump their bodies in the well, in the land that they grew up on.
11:41She tells me this story over an hour, hour and a half, and she is precise.
11:48She's been making these complaints and reports for years.
11:54So we run a big story about this in Newsweek, and that got enough attention that the Sheriff's Department and
12:05the DCI and the FBI decided,
12:09we're actually going to dig and find answers.
12:18Well, I'm Sean Smith.
12:20I'm a fourth-generation farmer in Fremont County.
12:23The property we're talking about, we think these bodies are, is actually a piece of my ground.
12:32And Don called me one evening.
12:34I think he was drunk, but yeah, he was ranting and raving.
12:39And he started talking, and he says, when you're in that well, did you see cow bones or human bones?
12:45I said, Don, I've never been down in a well in my life.
12:47What the hell are you talking about?
12:49And he goes, well, my daughter says I put a body in a well, and the Sheriff's Office is going
12:55to dig it out.
12:57But when he said it, I don't know, it was the weirdest feeling.
13:03I mean, why would he call me up if he wasn't worried about something?
13:08And as soon as I got off the phone, I called the Sheriff's Office and left a report with him.
13:13Then several years later, that's when the stuff all popped up again.
13:20I took the Sheriff and the, I think some FBI guys, showed them where I thought the well was.
13:26There was a little indentation where I was pretty sure that's what it was.
13:30We went and made a path down to it.
13:33Then they decided to go ahead and do the core sample.
13:37They bored three holes 85 feet deep in one well.
13:43That lasted about two and a half days.
13:47I personally don't think they did a good job, but that's my opinion.
13:50I think there's a very good chance that there's a body in that well, yes.
13:55After a several-day excavation of a reported mass grave in southwest Iowa,
14:00authorities say no evidence of human remains was found.
14:04As of this time, we have no nothing.
14:09Nothing was popping out of the ground, and they closed the case.
14:14But according to Lucy, they dug in the wrong place and that it was a botched investigation.
14:20When I realized that they weren't even in the right spot, they were on the wrong hill,
14:26and they were core drilling into the wrong well, I was mad.
14:32You know, I was in Florida, and I couldn't do a goddamn thing.
14:39She was not allowed on the property at the time they dug in the well.
14:43She says had she been there, they would have gone to the correct coordinates and dug a different well.
14:48The woman's older sister argues these allegations against her father are not true.
14:55When I first interviewed with the FBI, I did tell them, Lucy's right about one thing.
15:00And they perked up, they go, what's that?
15:02They go, Dad did like the horse races.
15:04And they both giggled.
15:06The whole thing since Newsweek broke out, the whole thing's been a lie since day one.
15:13And just because she made Newsweek doesn't mean she's telling the truth and I'm lying.
15:18I have pictures that show the tender moments of my father, that he was human.
15:24And I have pictures of Lucy and Dad together, showing she was not afraid of him.
15:31This is us at Louisiana Downs.
15:33This is when my dad traveled the horse racing circuit.
15:36It might have been a little illegal, but Dad used to bet us horse racing tickets $2.
15:40Dad was actually a pretty good gambler.
15:42Lucy here is drinking a soda.
15:44She doesn't look afraid.
15:45We actually had a lot of fun.
15:48He was a very good father.
15:50He was loving.
15:51At times I felt bad, he hugged.
15:53Had nightmares.
15:54He consoled us.
15:56Here's Lucy in Green Hollow.
15:59Giving my father rabbit ears.
16:02If she was that traumatized and scared of him,
16:05why would she be holding rabbit ears behind his back?
16:07He was caring.
16:08He was loving.
16:11Here is my father holding my son.
16:14And Lucy is sitting there caressing my son right beside my father with a big smile on her face.
16:21This is in Green Hollow.
16:22Supposedly the land of nightmares.
16:25There was no nightmares up there.
16:27Lucy told me one time I blocked it out.
16:29I didn't block nothing out.
16:31Why do you think they found nothing?
16:32There is nothing.
16:34I mean, you're talking about the Iowa DCI and you're talking about the FBI.
16:39Here's my father during his 50th birthday.
16:42If we hated him that much, why would we throw him a birthday party?
16:46There was no trauma.
16:47There was no nothing.
16:49I grew up a normal childhood.
16:51My dad didn't have much money.
16:52But you know what?
16:53He got us through and he got us through happy.
16:56He was committed to keeping us together after my mother died.
17:00There was nothing in the world he wouldn't do for us, even Lucy.
17:04He was honored to walk her down the aisle.
17:06It was one of the best moments of his life.
17:08She was his baby.
17:11He might have been rude to other people, but he wasn't to us.
17:16He wasn't a payable person.
17:18I will admit, he was no angel.
17:23But he was no killer.
17:38In this town, everyone's related to everybody.
17:40We just don't know how.
17:42You better check your DNA before you marry.
17:46Let's see here.
17:47This is our row.
17:49This is where some of the studies are buried.
17:53This is Ira and Rose, dad's parents.
17:57This is my Uncle Louie.
17:59And he was involved in criminal activity with my dad.
18:05That's a dude studie.
18:07He was the local drunk.
18:09He was dad's first cousin.
18:11He was into some of the criminal activity.
18:14Arrests are just related to us.
18:17And this is my dad and my stepmom, Charlotte.
18:22Dad killed her.
18:24It's listed as a suicide, but he killed her.
18:28My hope he's burning in hell.
18:36Our mother passed away February of 1984.
18:45We were told she killed herself with a rifle on the car, but we've always believed that he killed her.
18:54Don Studie.
18:55Don Studie killed her.
18:56And when we reconnected with Lucy, Lucy did say that she believed her dad killed mom and asked us if
19:05we would agree to have our mother exhumed to help prove her death was not a suicide and it was
19:12a homicide.
19:12And we all agreed.
19:16Our mom, Charlotte, was Don's fourth wife.
19:22Growing up, the three of us were always close.
19:25A lot of my memories is our mother teaching us how to bake and how to sew and how to
19:31garden.
19:33And she loved flowers.
19:35We always had flowers.
19:36And birds.
19:37She loved birds.
19:38Yep.
19:39Snakes.
19:39She did not like creepy crawlies.
19:41No, we used to go and find them and we would stick them in her pocket all the time.
19:48And my mom went to go do laundry.
19:51She would find all my creepy crawlies.
19:53She would get us back, though.
19:56Childhood was not perfect by any means.
19:59She had the drinking problem and then she would quit.
20:03She was a good mom.
20:05Pretty happy up until all the crazy with Don started.
20:10The first time I met Don, I would have been 11.
20:15I remember we were having dinner.
20:18So they came over him and his four children.
20:22He was very nice, gentlemen.
20:24I mean, nice to us kids, nice to his own kids.
20:28Yeah, what I remember about him is he was charismatic and he was funny.
20:33Yeah.
20:33And we did have...
20:35He would take us places, you know.
20:36I was living at home when they met.
20:39I was a senior in high school.
20:42And I was worried about how fast it moved.
20:45Here comes this guy with four kids in the picture.
20:48And I said, you don't know him that well yet.
20:50You know, I don't...
20:51I don't...
20:53I didn't trust him because he never could have even looked me in the eye.
20:58And I moved out before they moved in.
21:01Mom married Don.
21:03And once he moved into our home with his children, his personality started to change.
21:13If Don lost money at the racetrack or if Don was drinking or in a bad mood, he would come
21:20home and just take it out on his kids.
21:22Yeah.
21:24I mean, he literally would take the belt buckle, the buckle, and just whomp on them.
21:31Kick them, stomp on their heads, their necks, their feet, their hands.
21:37But then he started taking it out on Mama.
21:41And it wasn't pretty.
21:44The first time that I knew Don beat my mom was when Marie called me from the neighbors and said,
21:56he beat her so bad, she's in the hospital.
22:00And it was so bad.
22:02It was.
22:08When I was 13, I had come home from a babysitting job.
22:14And when I came in, I don't even know how she was still alive.
22:19I really don't.
22:20And neither did that.
22:21He was hitting her in the face with the butt of his rifle.
22:26He was just...
22:29Then he put the rifle down and he just started punching her.
22:32It was just surreal.
22:34I went in and, of course, you know, got in the middle of it and pulled him off.
22:38And then got really mad.
22:41It's just the look in his face was complete and utter evil.
22:46It was...
22:46Red eyes.
22:48Yeah.
22:48And he grabbed me by the throat and held me against the wall.
22:54Somehow I ended up getting loose.
22:56And I took off running.
22:58And I just remember turning around and he was at the corner of the house with the rifle pointed at
23:04me.
23:06I'm not sure why he didn't shoot me.
23:08But I did get away.
23:10And that's where the cops were called.
23:12And they did take her to the hospital.
23:14And that's when I called Dawn.
23:16And then I went up to the hospital.
23:19And when I went in and saw her, I mean, I can't even explain to you how bad it was.
23:25There weren't too many spots on her body that didn't have a bruise.
23:31The doctors told me that she was lucky to be alive.
23:35If it happened again, she probably wouldn't survive.
23:38They said they had a psychologist talking to her, too, because she refused to press charges.
23:44She was terrified of him.
23:46She was terrified of him.
23:48And I said, you know, Mom, you need to leave him.
23:51You have to leave him.
23:53And she said, you don't understand.
23:54I can't.
23:55He told me if I do, he'll kill you kids.
23:58And I said, well, he won't do anything to us kids if we let the police know that he's threatening
24:04us.
24:05And then she really started shaking.
24:07And she really started crying.
24:08And she said, no, you don't understand.
24:11She said, you need to leave it alone.
24:14He knows people and he has connections.
24:23Well, at least we're in counts of bluffs, David.
24:25We made it.
24:27Yeah, long trip, though.
24:30We did pretty good at the time.
24:32We left Wednesday at 8 p.m. and it's Friday at 3.30, so...
24:37And what was it, like 1,600 miles?
24:41About.
25:05This looks like our apartment.
25:07Our garage is over there, David.
25:09We're at opposite end of where we're going to be.
25:11How long?
25:16Yeah, let's meet a neighbor by taking off their mirror.
25:20Nah, just total their car.
25:23I'm David McKitty.
25:24I'm not that much of a talkative person, so I don't know what else to say after that, really.
25:29Your mom says that you're a magician.
25:32Very lightly, yes.
25:33Mom exaggerates the amount of tricks I actually know.
25:36In my wallet, considering it's a normal wallet, but little do people know is that it bursts into flames.
25:44Starting to run out of fluid on that.
25:49The first time I remember mom talking about her dad killing people, it was around 8 to 10.
26:01Whenever she hasn't been investigating, it's been relatively normal.
26:05We've lived normal life.
26:07Whenever we do end up investigating, she goes in-depth with it.
26:12Most of the time, it causes us to leave the place we're at.
26:17It causes us to go quite downhill money-wise.
26:21Eventually, the money problems would actually, when I was younger, get so bad that she had to take a break
26:26from the investigation just because, if not, we were going to be homeless.
26:31So, she'll stop for a year to three, get back to a good state financially, but then she always thinks,
26:40maybe I can finally get the justice again, which begins the whole cycle of going through the investigation, getting nowhere,
26:47losing all the money, restart the cycle.
26:51I'm getting tired of moving around a ton.
26:54It has caused quite a lot of fighting between us, but I know mom's not just crazy enough to ruin
27:04our lives repeatedly over this.
27:06If mom's lying, which I know she's not, there'd be absolute no reason to at this point.
27:16When I was pregnant with my son, David, and after he was born, I knew that I had to get
27:24better.
27:25I wanted to be a better mom for David.
27:30But I have ruined his life three times in 23 years, going after those bodies, where I've put myself on
27:38the verge of bankruptcy, and I get myself out, and then I put myself right back in.
27:47I tried to be happy.
27:49I tried to forget.
27:52I had a husband, a son, a house.
27:55I should have been happy, but deep inside, I wasn't, because there was bodies in a well.
28:07I can't forget about them.
28:09I would look at my son, and I would think, what if it was him in the well?
28:15If my son was missing, I would want to know.
28:25I can't believe I left Florida to move to Iowa.
28:31I'm sitting here relaxing.
28:33I'm sunburned.
28:34I'm soaking wet from sweat.
28:41I'm yellow, but this better be worth it.
28:48This better be worth it.
28:58Down in the willow garden
29:03Where me and my love did meet
29:08There we sat a cordon
29:12My love dropped off to sleep
29:15I stabbed her with my dagger
29:20Which was a bloody knife
29:24And I threw her into the river
29:28Which was a dreadful sight
29:32My father often told me
29:37That money would set me free
29:41If I would murder that dear little girl
29:45Whose name was Rose Connelly
29:53We're rolling?
29:54Camera rolling
29:55And speeding
29:56Great
29:57Alright, so why don't you start by just saying your name
30:02And what you've come here to tell us
30:07I'm Robert Masson
30:08And I helped Don Studi carry a body in with a place
30:25I need to know for sure
30:28That the body you helped carry was with Don Studi
30:33When I saw the newspaper article
30:36I recognized the trailer
30:39And it just, boom, I was there
30:45I met Don at the bar near Thurman
30:49I'm not sure the name of the town
30:51I was in my 20s
30:52Being drunk and stoned
30:54And going bar off
30:55And I mean, that's what I did
30:58Don was working behind the bar
31:01And there weren't very many patrons at the bar
31:05He started buying me drinks
31:08And then he asked me
31:09If I want to earn a hundred bucks
31:13If I want to help me move some stuff
31:14Sure
31:20I drove my car
31:21We had separate vehicles
31:23And I just followed him
31:26We ended up at the Green Hollow resident
31:28With the trailer there
31:33Oh yeah, that's the right place
31:35It's just, a lot of things have changed
31:40I'd parked here
31:40But he asked me to move my car over there
31:42And he parked his truck back in here
31:43And then went around
31:45And there was a body wrapped up in white
31:48I don't know if it was plastic or cloth
31:50But all I saw were some black
31:55Converse-like tennis shoes
31:56And he said it was a woman
32:01He grabbed one end
32:02I grabbed the other
32:03And we walked down this way
32:09And he was leading the way
32:10And he was going pretty good clip
32:12And I was stumbling behind
32:15And it was an awkward feeling
32:18And this was just a skinny path
32:20With trees on both sides
32:21It wasn't open like it is now
32:24But we went back
32:25And we went
32:28Went a ways
32:30This would be about the most
32:31That I could have gone with
32:33It was winded
32:37And I just dropped
32:38The end of the body I had
32:41And he didn't get mad
32:42And I just said
32:42This isn't for me
32:43And he said
32:45Go on back where you were
32:46And I'll do the rest of this
32:51I hopped in my car
32:52And I sped away
32:56I remember it was going so fast
32:57I thought I was going to
32:58Almost wreck off this travel road
33:03I didn't feel safe yet
33:05I still felt under the umbrella of fear
33:10I could have been buried in the same hole
33:12Or whatever
33:13That he buried that lady's body
33:16Do you remember what part of the body you were carrying?
33:19I think I was carrying the upper torso
33:23And he was carrying the feet as we walked
33:26That was traumatic to me
33:28To him is like
33:31Every day occurrence or something
33:33It is like
33:34No big deal
33:36This one is
33:37His first rodeo
33:39This one is the first time
33:41He's done this before
33:48I'm uncomfortable
33:49Bringing this stuff up from the past
33:51I never shared it with anyone
33:53I buried it
33:55Buried it deep
33:56I have nothing to gain
33:59Like coming forward
34:00I mean
34:01It's a risk for my future
34:05A lot of people aren't believing Lucy
34:08So I'm compelled to stand up for her
34:12My hope is that
34:14Someone follows Lucy's story
34:17And finds the bodies
34:19Because I'm sure they're there
34:21I know there's at least one there
34:32I was 14 years old
34:34In February of 1984
34:36When Charlotte died
34:37She was trying to leave dad
34:39You know
34:41She had a place
34:42She came home that night
34:44To get her belongings
34:45And she was trying to get her clothes
34:47And dad said
34:49The bitch can leave with nothing
34:53Here's a picture of my father
34:54And my stepmother
34:55If you can tell
34:56They looked all lovey lovey
34:58They used to walk hand in hand
34:59Arm in arm
35:00When she was sober
35:02She was the sweetest
35:03Kindest gal in the world
35:05Even to this day
35:06I miss her
35:09I really can't remember
35:11What went down that night
35:13All I know is
35:13Once they started arguing
35:14We all went to our rooms
35:16Lucy and Linda
35:16Went to their room
35:17I went to mine
35:20I was watching TV
35:22In the living room
35:22And I just tried to
35:24Stay out of their fight
35:26And she made a couple of trips
35:28In and out of the house
35:29Through her car
35:30And every time she left
35:32She had clothes clutched to her
35:35Because dad was trying to grab them
35:36Out of her hand
35:40My bedroom door was shut
35:43And they were arguing
35:44In their bedroom
35:45Maybe I know how long
35:47It was for a while
35:47And then
35:48I heard her stomping
35:50Down the hallway
35:51I just remember
35:52Exact words
35:53Fuck you
35:53I'll kill myself
35:57And she took off
35:58Out the front door
36:01Dad left about an hour later
36:03I didn't see him
36:04Go out the door
36:05But I heard the door slam
36:06And his car was gone
36:10He came home
36:11In the morning
36:12And the first thing he said
36:14When he walked in the door
36:15Is I found Charlotte
36:17Dead in her car
36:18She committed suicide
36:19And he went to the phone
36:20And called the police
36:22After he hung up
36:23Dad told Susan, Linda and me
36:25That we better say
36:26That he was home all night
36:27So we did
36:30But I do remember
36:32I was numb
36:33Because
36:35I knew she didn't commit suicide
36:37And that dad killed her
36:39Did your dad talk to you
36:41About what to say
36:42To the police
36:43When they come
36:43No
36:45Not at all
36:46He's dead
36:46Why would I condone him now
36:48Dad was home that night
36:49I got up to go
36:50To the bathroom
36:50Middle of the night
36:51There was a lump in the bed
36:53I have no idea
36:54What went down
36:54When she left that house
36:56Lucy and Linda
36:57Have no idea
36:58I wish I would have
36:59Stopped her
37:00But
37:01She was drunk
37:02I think if she
37:03Would have been sober
37:04I don't think
37:05She would have killed herself
37:09According to the police report
37:11Charlotte shot herself
37:12Using my dad's rifle
37:15But
37:15That night
37:16I saw her leave each time
37:18She never tucked the gun
37:19You can't
37:20Shoot yourself with a gun
37:22If you never tuck it
37:24I had my door shut
37:25I saw no gun
37:26I don't know
37:28Where she got the gun
37:29But I swear on my soul
37:31I don't care
37:32People think I'm lying
37:33God knows I'm not lying
37:35I heard her say the words
37:36I heard her say
37:37Fuck you
37:38I'll kill myself
37:38The way wife did
37:40Susan
37:41Is lying
37:43But
37:44I understand
37:45Why she's lying
37:46I really do
37:48My dad's
37:50Manipulation
37:50Was master level
37:52He could convince you
37:54Of anything
37:55He could be
37:57Mentally
37:58And physically
37:59Abusive to you
38:00And you still
38:02Want to try to please him
38:05So
38:05Being around dad
38:07And having him
38:08Twist your mind
38:08Like that
38:09She's turned him
38:10Into a saint
38:12Did you ever see
38:14Your dad
38:14Be abusive
38:17No
38:18Did you ever see
38:20Your father
38:21Be abusive
38:23To Charlotte
38:24I saw both of them
38:26Be abusive
38:27Towards each other
38:27There was times
38:28We pulled Charlotte
38:29Off of dad
38:29There was times
38:30We pulled dad
38:30Off of Charlotte
38:31There was times
38:31We pulled him
38:32Off of each other
38:33Charlotte could fight
38:34She was a tiny woman
38:35But she could hold her own
38:38Men aren't supposed to hit women
38:39Which is fine
38:40But you know what
38:41When women hit men
38:42You gotta expect
38:43To get
38:43I mean
38:45They both were innocent
38:51They threatened to kill each other
38:52All the time
38:52Then the next day
38:54Oh I love you so much
38:56Do you think
38:57Your father was
38:59Piling
38:59Was willing
39:00To sort of
39:00Beat someone
39:01Into the hospital
39:01But he would
39:02Just stop
39:02Short of killing them
39:03He would never kill them
39:05Well
39:07Maybe the time
39:07Charlotte went to the hospital
39:08But there was times
39:09Dad was pretty bloody too
39:11But he didn't go to the hospital
39:13A cat scratched
39:28It's 8.35 a.m
39:32We are going down
39:33To the Thurman Cemetery
39:36Charlotte is being exhumed
39:39Out of her grave
39:40I'm with Marie
39:43And Charlotte
39:44Her two daughters
39:46We just exited
39:48Interstate 29
39:49And we got to go through
39:50Thurman to get
39:51To the cemetery
40:00My school used to be
40:01Right here
40:02Where that shed is
40:03Thurman Elementary
40:04Charlotte was there
40:05Charlotte came to my school
40:08For some Christmas patch
40:09Oh really
40:12See this is my
40:13Kind of country
40:14It is pretty here
40:15And it's peaceful
40:18And the road
40:19Is right here
40:19Take a left
40:20Yep

40:25Start without us
40:26Well it's not

40:32Right there is
40:33They started already
40:35They weren't supposed

40:40With fucking
40:42Who in the hell
40:43Is up here
40:43I don't know
40:47What's the question
40:49Why did you start
40:50You weren't supposed to start
40:52Yeah well it takes
40:53Quite a bit of time
40:53To get everything ready
40:54So
40:55That's why everything
40:56Is all dog
40:56And everything
40:57I mean we've been here
40:58You guys weren't supposed
40:58To start without us
41:00That's how

41:05Didn't tell us that

41:119 a.m
41:12It's supposed to be
41:139 a.m
41:14I know I get it
41:15But it takes
41:17Hours to dig this grave
41:19He had to move stone
41:20It just would have been
41:21Nice to know
41:22Yeah
41:22We really truly
41:23Wanted to be here
41:23Yeah
41:24So since I'm a
41:25One man guy
41:26And by Iowa law
41:27I have to be here
41:28I couldn't say
41:29Well what time's
41:30It going to come
41:30Out of the ground
41:31I don't know my schedule
41:32As soon as you
41:33Even broke ground
41:34You should have called us
41:35We could have came out
41:37Why did you break ground

43:17No big deal
43:18There's fucking
43:19Bodies up there
43:29My dad goes
43:30Seems like every
43:31Woman I love
43:31Dies on me
43:32Because I don't
43:33Understand
43:36Charlotte's duty
43:36Was found
43:37In a vehicle
43:38In front of her
43:39House
43:40She had a bullet
43:40Wounded at the
43:41Right temple
43:41He said
43:42Your mom committed
43:43Suicide
43:44And he said
43:44No she didn't
43:45I saw
43:46The electrical cord
43:48Hanging from
43:48The crossbar
43:49It just
43:50Didn't add up
43:51She's trying
43:52To protect
43:53Herself
43:53As the guns
43:54Fired
43:55He's got
43:56Two wives
43:57And a girlfriend
43:57Who he called
43:59In to the police
44:00Reporting their deaths
44:01What's the odds
44:02Of that
44:02I think he'd be
44:03Better off
44:03Winning the lottery
44:05She said
44:05How could I
44:06Not be loyal
44:07To my brother
44:08He killed for me
44:10I don't understand
44:11The actions
44:12Of the Fremont
44:12County Sheriff's
44:13Department
44:13Do you think
44:14There is any
44:15Cover up
44:16You don't want
44:18To go down
44:18That path
44:18With me
44:19Because I guarantee
44:20You
44:20You will not
44:21Like that
44:30At all
44:31And now he sits
44:33By his own cottage
44:35Door
44:35A wiping his tear
44:38Dimmed eye
44:39And now he waits
44:42For his own near sun
44:44Upon the scaffold high
44:47My rest is run
44:50Beneath the sun
44:52Though hell's now
44:54Waiting for me
44:55For I have murdered
44:59That dear little girl
45:00Whose name was
