The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says there’s “no evidence” to back up a claim by a woman that her late father disposed of dozens of bodies of people he had killed decades ago in rural Iowa.

Following an investigation that involved the FBI, the DCI said in a statement on Thursday that “after exhaustive efforts, no evidence or other items of concern were recovered.”

The investigation had followed a Newsweek article quoting Lucy Studey, who claimed her father, Donald Studey, killed “50 to 70” people years ago – and that she helped dispose of the bodies in a well on property that he owned near Thurman, Iowa.

Over the course of three days this week, state, local, and federal law enforcement assisted with the investigation in Fremont County. According to the DCI, authorities brought in “an array of experts representing several disciplines and significant assets to excavate, collect and examine soil samples” from the site identified by Studey.

The good news is this complaint was not made while the guy was alive or he would have lost his 2A rights.

Iowa is a large state. Three days to poke around? Yeah right. Even the Time Team does a better job.

I suppose the FiB had to find busy work for their affirmative action hires. The rest of the FiB crew is busy destroying democracy.

I'll bet law enforcement has to deal with these fake claims all the time.

There's just a lot of people who are obsessed and whose lives have no meaning so they invent rich fantasy lives and inset themselves in as the main character.
