Most family disagreements involve politics or who forgot to wash the dishes. For the Studey family, the debate is a little more intense: namely, whether or not dear old Dad was a prolific serial killer.
Paramount+ is set to explore this deeply unsettling game of “he said, she said” with its new documentary series, My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders. The docuseries aims to posthumously unmask the rumored “Monster of Green Hollow,” a man some believe murdered dozens of people decades ago. But did he?
The Well of Horrors vs. The “Big, Fat Lie”
The spine of the series rests on a bizarre debate between two sisters regarding their late father, Donald Studey:
The Accuser: Lucy Studey claims she doesn’t just suspect her father was a monster. She alleges she was an eyewitness. Lucy maintains that Don dumped dozens of victims into a stone water well on their property. She even claims she helped him cover the bodies in lye to expedite their decomposition.
The Defender: On the other side of the dinner table, Don’s other daughter fiercely defends his memory. She claims he was a good man and that the entire gruesome narrative is nothing more than a “big, fat lie.”
