My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders has been released on Paramount+ as a three part docuseries. It follows the story of Lucy Studey McKiddy who has alleged that her late father, Donald Studey had murdered a number of women and forced her to help dispose of the bodies as a child. However, now the questions have arisen: where are these bodies, if there were ever any at all?
What drew attention to the twisted tale of Lucy and her late father?
While initially, the film’s director, Aengus James admitted that he wrestled trusting the story from the beginning, as he dug deeper, he found out there was more to the story than met the eye, making it much harder to walk away. According to reports, the case first caught his attention when it made national headlines. However, it was the claims of “dozens of women” that had him hooked. James found himself intrigued by the pattern surrounding Donald’s wives’ demise. While two were ruled out as suicide, the third one raised questions. In a conversation with Gold Derby, James said:
“What really stuck for us immediately was that there were these three wives. All died, and he had made the 911 call for all three of them. We were in this position of, well, do we really become the investigators in this story? If we weren’t going to do this, it might not happen.”
