Search Continues for 70 Bodies
A woman recently claimed that her father was a serial killer and killed between 50 to 70 women in three decades. Lucy Studey McKiddy, 53 years old accused her father Donald Studey, who died in 2013, that he would regularly force them to throw dead bodies in a well.
She also added that murdered bodies were women and they threw them into the well in Thurman, Fremont County. On Wednesday, joint efforts of the FBI, Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation visited all areas after cadaver dogs reportedly sniffed out possible human remains.
Meanwhile, the daughter said, “I know where the bodies are buried. He would just tell us we had to go to the well, and I knew what that meant. 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,” according to a report published in UNILAD.
