Did it look like this? According to Lucy Studey, her father would go out at night and occasionally return with a body to bury. Some were allegedly women going home with Studey, never to be seen again. After what might be decades since she first reported the bodies to authorities, someone is looking into alleged serial killer Donald Dean Studey.
Many questions will remain unanswered. Why did it allegedly take 45 years to look into the allegation? How did Studey stay under the radar? And, if his daughters' claims of other men are present when bodies were buried, what is their role in the case?
