2026/05/03

Three of Don Studey's five wives are dead under circumstances that, when laid side by side, form a pattern no behavioral analyst would ignore. His wife Lucy reportedly died by hanging in 1970. His daughter Lucy McKiddy says her father told her for decades he choked her too hard or too long. His wife Charlotte reportedly died in Omaha in 1984 from a rifle shot to the head — she was five-two, nothing was documented at the scene to explain how she could have triggered the weapon, and the death was

Matthew Farwell allegedly told three different people three different things — and all of them pointed in the same direction. He told one person that if Sandra Birchmore did not end the pregnancy, he would "take care of the problem himself." He told another he needed to "put crazy back in the bag." He told a third that "the problem was going to take care of itself." According to federal prosecutors, those conversations occurred in the weeks before Sandra was found dead in her Canton apartment on

Prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke killed fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez on April 23, 2025. Within days, he released an album. He launched a world tour. He performed on stages across the country. People in his circle reportedly believed the girl connected to him was a nineteen-year-old college student. She was a seventh grader who had been reported missing three times and had not been in school for a year. On September 8, a tow yard worker in Los Angeles found her remains in his

Every other woman in the Duggar orbit grew up inside the machine. Raised in IBLP. Taught that male authority was absolute. Told that female submission was God's design and that leaving was, in their doctrine's own words, witchcraft. Kendra Caldwell was not one of them. She is the daughter of a Baptist pastor in Arkansas. She married Joseph Duggar at nineteen. And according to reporting, in the months before his arrest, Joseph allegedly drove a wedge between Kendra and the family she came

Prosecutors say they can try a first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse case in seven days. The accused is sixteen years old. The victim was his eighteen-year-old stepsister. Her body was found concealed aboard a cruise ship. The surveillance reportedly shows no one else entered or exited the cabin. And the defense team — rather than fighting the adult transfer — requested it themselves, entered a plea without their client present, and is now pushing for the same judge who released him

Prosecutors say they have over forty terabytes of digital evidence against David Anthony Burke. They have a wiretap. They have exploitation material allegedly recovered from his phone. They have three grand juries' worth of witness testimony. And they still could not get an indictment. So what does that tell a former FBI behavioral analyst about how this investigation was actually built — and what it's missing?Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, takes

Tupac Shakur was murdered on September 7, 1996. Almost thirty years later, his family is still fighting for accountability — and the legal weapon they just deployed could be the most powerful move anyone has made in this case. Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and one hundred unnamed co-conspirators, built not just to recover damages but to use civil discovery to force answers out of people who have spent decades avoiding them. Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August

Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility for the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, inside their Brentwood home. He has pled not guilty. His public defender, Kimberly Greene, has not entered an insanity plea — but has not foreclosed one either.

Four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds. The man who admitted to doing it is behind bars for life. And the case was supposed to be finished. But a forensic expert hired by Kohberger's own defense is now contradicting the narrative — alleging that the knife sheath carrying Kohberger's DNA had chain of custody problems serious enough to challenge at trial.

The Peacock documentary did something that nothing else in this case has been able to do — it showed us the human wreckage inside Rex Heuermann's own home. Not the crime scenes. Not the evidence. The people. Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife who heard her husband confess to eight murders and still believes he loved her. Victoria Heuermann, the daughter who asked her father if he ever thought about her while killing women in their basement and was told no. And Rex himself — the man who described a meticulous

Rex Heuermann sits in his cell at Suffolk County Correctional Facility and looks at crime scene photos of the eight women he killed. He studies the dump sites. He looks at what was done to the bodies. And then he says something that should make every person following this case sit up straight — he says he can't connect the person who did those things to himself. He tries. He looks at the photos and tries to bridge the gap between the man who dismembered women in his basement and the man sitting in

He's a loving dad and a serial killer. Victoria Heuermann said those words after sitting across from her father in a jailhouse room and hearing him confess to murdering eight women — including at least seven inside the home where she grew up. She didn't say it with sarcasm. She didn't say it with rage. She said it like someone trying to hold two truths that shouldn't be able to exist inside the same person — because for Victoria, they have to. The Rex she knew coached her through life.

The family therapist who spent over two years working with Asa Ellerup said something in the Peacock documentary that should change the way every person following this case thinks about Rex Heuermann's ex-wife. She said for Asa, it wasn't denial — it was real. That distinction matters more than anything else that's been said about this woman. Denial implies choice. It implies that somewhere inside, the person knows the truth and is choosing not to face it. But what the therapist described is

Bob Motta has been sitting on this story for three years. He's telling it here first — and it's one of the wildest firsthand accounts in true crime. The criminal defense attorney drove to Green Hollow in the middle of the night, infiltrated an FBI dig in a rental car that looked like a cop cruiser, went viral on TikTok while local deputies watched his content in real time, and spent sixteen months investigating the allegations that Don Studey was the Green Hollow Killer.

One daughter has spent decades saying her father was the Green Hollow Killer — that Don Studey allegedly murdered dozens of women and buried them in wells in rural Iowa. The other daughter has spent just as long saying it's a lie. Bob Motta was caught in the middle. During his sixteen months investigating the Don Studey case, Bob had Lucy Studey-McKiddy on one phone telling him where the bodies were allegedly buried — and Lucy's sister Susan on the other phone, drunk-texting him that their father

Everybody in town had a story about Don Studey. And they'd been waiting for somebody to ask. When criminal defense attorney Bob Motta left the Green Hollow dig site and drove into the nearby towns of Tabor and Thurman, the floodgates opened. People who had grown up in the shadow of the alleged Green Hollow Killer were reaching out by the hundreds through TikTok DMs — they wanted to meet, they had stories, they wanted someone to finally listen.
