We all know about the most infamous serial killers of all time — Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy. However, they may be a newly identified serial killer with even more victims. Lucey Studey firmly believes that her father, Donald Studey, has murdered as many as 70 victims and buried them on his property in Thurman, Iowa. She believes this because she claims that she helped him to dispose of the bodies.

Just last week, Studey sat down for an interview with Newsweek where she shared her memories of her father from her childhood. They are the same memories that she has shared with the police for many years, though they have mostly been ignored by law enforcement.

Studey claims that her father would pick women up at the nearby truckstop, focusing on sex workers and anyone who seemed down on their luck. He would bring his victims back to their property in Thurman, Fermont County, where he would get drunk and kill them by blunt force trauma. Then, he would ask her to help him bury the bodies near a well they had on their land. The well was later destroyed by her father. She cannot remember the exact number of victims she helped to bury, but she says that there are around 70 murdered people buried on the property.
