Short filmTranscript
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'm not photogenic.
04:21So.
04:23Okay.
04:24Let'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.
06:24And 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.
07:40Some of the women were like moms to us.
07:42She was nice, but 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, as wild as it may seem to readers and audiences, checked 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.
09:28After 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 studies, so it was a blessing to
09:42be 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 and hiding
11:08them in Iowa.
11:10You know, you get calls from people all the time, especially in investigations, and vetting these calls is very important.
11:20But 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 on the land that they grew up on.
11:41She tells me this story over an hour, hour and a half, and she is precise.
11:49She'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
12:08we'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.
12:32Don called me one evening.
12:34I think he was drummed, but yeah, he was ranting and raving, and they started talking, and he says,
12:41when 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?
12:50And 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.
13:21I 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.
14:03As of this time, we have no, nothing.
14:08Nothing was popping out of the ground, and they closed the case.
14:13But, 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,
14:25they were on the wrong hill, and they were core drilling into the wrong well,
14:29I 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.
15:51Times had felt bad.
15:52He hugged.
15:53Had nightmares.
15:54He consoled us.
15:57Here's Lucy in Green Hollow, giving my father rabbit ears.
16:02If she was that traumatized and scared of him, why 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, and Lucy is sitting there caressing my son right beside my father, with
16:18a big smile on her face.
16:21This is in Green Hollow, supposedly 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 people 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.
17:48So, this is where some of the Studi's are buried.
17:53This is Ira and Rose, dad's parents.
17:57This is my Uncle Louie, and he was involved in criminal activity with my dad.
18:05That's Dude Studi.
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.
18:49But we've always believed that he killed her.
18:54Don Studi.
18:55Don Studi killed her.
18:56And when we reconnected with Lucy, Lucy did say that she believed her dad killed mom.
19:04And asked us if we would agree to have our mother exhumed to help prove her death was not a
19:11suicide and it was a homicide.
19:13And 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.
19:32Garden.
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.
19:42We 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 good times.
20:35He would take us places, you know.
20:37I 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, I 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.
21:02Mom married Don and 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 womp on them, kick them, stomp on
21:32their 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, he was hitting her in the face with the butt of his rifle.
22:26He was just, then 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 and then
22:39got really mad.
22:41It's just the look in his face was complete and utter evil.
22:46It was.
22:46Red eyes.
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.
23:23It was, there 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.
23:39They 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.
24:42About.
25:05This looks like our apartment.
25:07Our garage is over there, David, opposite end of where we're going to be.
25:11Oh, wow.
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.
25:50The first time I remember Mom talking about her dad killing people, it was around 8 to 10.
25:59And whenever 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, like, leave the place we're at.
26:17It causes us to go quite downhill money-wise.
26:20Eventually, 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.
26:32So, 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, like, 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, like,
27:04ruin our 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.
27:29But I have ruined his life three times in 23 years, going after those bodies, where I put myself on
27:38the verge of bankruptcy, and I get myself out, and then I put myself right back in.
27:45And then, I tried to be happy.
27:49I tried to forget.
27:52I had a husband, a son, a house.
27:55I should have been happy.
27:58But deep inside, I wasn't.
28:04Because 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?
28:14If my son was missing, I would want to know.
28:24I 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.
28:41This better be worth it.
28:48It better be worth it.
28:59Down in the well-o'ed garden
29:03Where me and my love did meet
29:07There 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
29:40If I would murder that dear little girl
29:45Whose name was Rose Connolly
29:53We're rolling?
29:54Camera rolling
29:55And speeding
29:57Great
29:58All right, so, um
30:00Why don't you start by just saying your name
30:02And, uh
30:04What you've come here to tell us
30:07I'm Robert Masson
30:08And I help Don Studi carry a body in for a reason
30:25I need to know for sure
30:28That the body you helped carry was with Dunstan
30:33When I saw the newspaper article
30:35I recognized the trailer
30:39And I just, boom
30:40I was there
30:45I met Don at the bar
30:48Near Thurman
30:49I'm not sure the name of the town
30:51I was in my twenties
30:52Being drunk in stone
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 if I, uh
31:10Want to earn a hundred bucks
31:13Want 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 Converse-like tennis shoes
31:56And he said it was a woman
32:01He grabbed one end
32:02And then I grabbed the other and 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
32:32With it
32:36I 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
32:44And he said
32:45Go on back where you were
32:46And I'll get
32:48I'll do the rest of this
32:52Hopped 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
33:05And I still felt
33:06Under the
33:09The umbrella of fear
33:10I could have been buried
33:11In the same hole
33:12Or whatever
33:13That he buried
33:13That lady's body
33:16Do you remember
33:16What part of the body
33:18You were carrying?
33:19I think I was carrying
33:21The upper torso
33:23And he was carrying
33:24The feet as we walked
33:26That was traumatic to me
33:28To him
33:29It was like
33:31Every day occurrence
33:32Or something
33:33It was like
33:34No big deal
33:36This one
33:37This first rodeo
33:39This one
33:39This first time
33:40He
33:42Done this before
33:48I'm uncomfortable
33:49Bringing this stuff up
33:50From the past
33:51I never shared it
33:52With anyone
33:53I buried it
33:55Buried it deep
33:56I have nothing to gain
33:59By coming forward
34:00I mean
34:01It's a risk
34:02For my future
34:05A lot of people
34:06Aren't believing Lucy
34:08I felt like
34:09Compelled to
34:10Stand up for her
34:12My hope is that
34:14Someone
34:15Follows Lucy's
34:16Story
34:17And
34:17Finds the bodies
34:19Because I'm
34:19I'm sure they're there
34:21I know there's
34:22At 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
34:53Of my father
34:54And my stepmother
34:55If you can tell
34:56They looked all lovey lovey
34:57They used to walk
34:58Hand 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
35:34Clutched to her
35:35Because dad was trying
35:36To 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 I heard her
35:49Stomping down 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
36:02An 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
36:13And the first thing
36:14He said when he walked
36:15In 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
36:24Linden me
36:25That we better say
36:26That he was home
36:27All night
36:27So we did
36:30But I do remember
36:31I was numb
36:33Because
36:35I knew she didn't
36:36Commit suicide
36:37And that dad killed her
36:39Did your dad
36:40Talk 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
36:51In 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 shoot yourself
37:21With 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
37:32If people 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 why
37:46She'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 and physically
37:59Abusive to you
38:01And 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
38:13Did 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
38:26Towards 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 them
38:32Off of each other
38:33Charlotte could fight
38:34She was a tiny woman
38:35But she could
38:36Hold her own
38:38Men aren't supposed
38:38To 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
38:47Do you remember
38:48To kill Charlotte
38:51They threatened
38:51To kill each other
38:52All the time
38:52Then the next day
38:53Oh I love you so much
38:56Do you think
38:57Your father
38:57Was
38:59Highland
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
39:03Them
39:03He would never
39:04Kill them
39:05Well
39:07Maybe the time
39:07Charlotte went
39:08To the hospital
39:08But there was times
39:09Dad was pretty bloody too
39:11But he didn't
39:11Go 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
39:38Exhumed out 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
39:50Through Thurman
39:51To get to 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
40:09Paget
40:09Oh really
40:11See 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
40:21Oh
40:21The truck
40:22Is already there
40:24They better not
40:25Start without us
40:26Well it's not
40:279 o'clock yet
40:28Okay
40:28They just probably
40:29Have to get
40:29Themselves all set up
40:31Yep
40:32That's us
40:32Right there is
40:33They started already
40:35They weren't supposed to
40:36Freaking start
40:37No
40:37You know
40:38Okay
40:38This is what's wrong
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
40:50Why did you start
40:51Why did you start
40:51Yeah well it takes
40:53Quite a bit of time
40:53To get everyone ready
40:54So that's why
40:56Everything's all dog
40:56And everything
40:57I mean we've been here
40:58You guys weren't
40:58Supposed to start
40:59Without us
41:00That's how
41:01We've got
41:01Everybody's on a time
41:02Schedule
41:05You guys
41:05Didn't tell us that
41:07But it takes
41:08I mean these guys
41:09Have to get everything
41:10But when you say
41:11It's supposed to be 9 a.m.
41:12It's supposed to be 9 a.m.
41:14No
41:14I know I get it
41:15But it takes
41:18Hours 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 wanted
41:23To be here
41:23From the start
41:24So since I'm a one man guy
41:26And by Iowa law
41:27I have to be here
41:28I couldn't say
41:29Well what time is it
41:30Going to come out
41:31Of the ground
41:31I don't know my schedule
41:32As soon as you even
41:33Broke ground
41:34You should have called us
41:35We could have came out
41:37Why did you break ground
41:39Without calling us
41:40One phone call right now
41:41So I could end this
41:42Real quick
41:43Do you know what
41:43I did
41:44I did
41:45She's a loose cannon
41:46Why did you break ground
41:47Lucy can you please stop
41:49I get that this is all changed
41:51But you screaming at people
41:53Is not helping it
41:54So stop
41:54He broke ground
41:56I don't fucking care right now
41:58Stop
41:59Just leave it
42:05Stop it
42:07You're acting like
42:08Your fucking father right now
42:10So stop
42:10Why didn't he call
42:12Because it broke ground
42:13And I didn't call
42:14Get it
42:16But it isn't helping
42:17Stop it
42:18If you're gonna be like this
42:19Go sit in the car
42:21With nothing but a bunch of
42:23Small town
42:24Small minded
42:25Fuck
42:25I don't know why
42:27My dad got away with murder
42:28Do you know what
42:29Maybe my dad should have put more fucking people in the well
42:33And he can stop with that man
42:35Lucy don't hurt my
42:36Come on
42:37You just dented the fucking truck
42:39I did not

42:45I'm never talking to my stepsisters again
42:49I'm gonna get my nine millimeter
42:51And I'm gonna solve it
42:52The way my dad solves shit
42:55What is wrong with people in Sremont County
42:58Do you not know
42:59That there's fucking bodies up there
43:01I'm not lying
43:02There's fucking bodies up there
43:29My dad goes
43:30Seems like every woman I love
43:31Dies on me
43:32Because I don't understand
43:35Sharnett Studi
43:37Was found
43:37In a vehicle
43:38In front of a house
43:40She had a bullet wound
43:41At the right temple
43:41He said
43:42Your mom committed suicide
43:44And he said
43:44No she didn't
43:45I saw
43:46The electrical cord
43:48Hanging from the crossbar
43:49It just didn't add up
43:51She's trying to
43:52Protect herself
43:53As the guns fired
43:55He's got
43:56Two wives
43:57And a girlfriend
43:58Who he called in
43:59To the police
44:00Reporting their deaths
44:01What's the odds of that
44:02I think he'd be better
44:03Off winning the lottery
44:05She said
44:05How could I not be loyal
44:07To my brother
44:08He killed for me
44:10I don't understand
44:11The actions of the
44:12Fremont County Sheriff's Department
44:13Do you think
44:14There is any cover up here?
44:17You don't want to go down
44:18That path with me
44:19Because I guarantee you
44:20You will not like that at all
44:45You will not like that at all
44:48My rest is run beneath the sun
