A serial killer who kept his victims' heads, a woman held under a waterbed for seven years, and a phantom passenger who vanishes from the back seat — the open road has taken more than its share.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HitchhikingHorrorsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/29xmnbkaFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The open road is a beautiful place where you can make friends that you'd otherwise never meet and have adventures that will change your life. But there are also extreme dangers to traveling with strangers on highways and backroads. No matter how trustworthy or well-intentioned a driver might seem, it's nearly impossible to tell if they are actually a predator or murderer, preying upon innocent hitchhikers. Creepy, true hitchhiker stories can make you think twice before picking up that stranger at the side of the road - or trying to "thumb it" yourself.LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021Weird Darkness gathers the true horrors of the open road and the ghosts said to haunt it, moving from real hitchhiker murders across the United States and abroad to the phantom passengers who vanish from the back seat before the ride is over.It opens with the account of a newly married couple driving through a rainstorm who stop for a soaked hitchhiker, drop him at a crossroads, and later break down on a dark stretch of highway, only for the wife to wake to police floodlights and the sight of the same man atop their car with a machete over her husband's dismembered body, an escaped prison inmate cut down by gunfire moments after she runs.From there the show turns to a long run of documented and reported cases. Jacci Ansell-Lamb was last seen hitchhiking from London toward Manchester in May 1970 and found sexually assaulted and strangled with electrical wire outside Knutsford, England, a killing police have linked to serial murderer Peter Tobin though no suspect was ever charged. A German traveler on foot near Timaru, New Zealand had all his belongings stolen by a man in a white Honda in February 2016. Along Australia's outback near the cattle town of Hughenden, as many as twelve hitchhikers including eighteen-year-old Catherine Graham and thirty-two-year-old Tony Jones turned up dead over roughly two decades on a stretch dubbed the Highway of Death, the murders still unsolved. On May 19, 1977, twenty-year-old Colleen Stan was hitchhiking to a friend's birthday in California when Cameron Hooker picked her up and held her as a sex slave for seven years, keeping her in a box beneath his waterbed until his wife helped her escape in 1984 and Hooker drew a 104-year sentence.Next comes the case of Edmund Kemper, the six-foot-nine "Co-ed Killer" born December 18, 1948, who shot his grandmother and grandfather at fifteen, was released from a psychiatric hospital into his mother's care, and between May 1972 and February 1973 picked up hitchhiking female students, killed and decapitated them, and had sex with the corpses before murdering his mother with a claw hammer on Good Friday 1973 and phoning the same local police he drank with to confess. Woven among these are firsthand accounts shared online, among them a driver whose kindness reportedly talked a would-be killer out of his plan, a New Zealand couple who vanished in 1989 near Thames leading to the disputed conviction of David Tamihere, and a backpacker in Austria who fled a trucker's advances barefoot at a gas station.From there the episode moves deeper into unsolved and predatory cases. Between 1972 and 1973 the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders claimed at least seven women in Sonoma County, California, beginning with nineteen-year-old Kim Wendy Allen found bound and strangled in a creek bed on March 5, 1972, and including twelve-year-olds Maureen Sterling and Yvonne Weber, thirteen-year-old Lori Lee Kursa, fourteen-year-old Carolyn Davis, and twenty-three-year-old Theresa Walsh, the case never closed. The segment also gathers the crimes of clown-costumed killer John Wayne Gacy, trucker Keith Hunter Jesperson who dragged one victim beneath his rig, photographer Joseph Naso the "Alphabet Killer," the spree killers Douglas Gretzler and Willie Steelman, and sadistic trucker Ben Rhoades, caught when an Arizona trooper found a shackled woman inside his cab.The episode closes on the phantom hitchhiker, tracing the folk formula of the vanishing passenger before laying out the strongest real-world cases. One belongs to Maria Roux, killed on the N9 near Uniondale, South Africa on Good Friday 1968, whose specter was reported by driver Anton Le Grange in 1976 and motorcyclist Dawie Van Jaarsveld in 1978, her rear door seen opening and closing by a following officer. Another is "Lydia" of Jamestown, North Carolina, the white-gowned figure sighted at a railroad underpass since the 1920s and possibly rooted in the 1920 traffic death of Annie Jackson on the High Point Road. The final account belongs to carpet fitter Roy Fulton of Dunstable, England, who picked up a silent young man on Station Road near Stanbridge on October 12, 1979, turned to offer him a cigarette, and found the seat empty, a story he repeated without change on Arthur C. Clarke's World of Strange Powers in 1985.

Charlotte Studey's death was classified as self-inflicted for nearly forty years. She reportedly died in Omaha in 1984 from a rifle shot to the head. She was five-foot-two. Nothing was documented at the scene that she could have used to trigger the weapon. The original crime scene and autopsy photographs are missing from Omaha police records. In 2023, a re-autopsy found a possible defensive wound on her arm and reclassified her manner of death as undetermined. Charlotte was one of Don Studey's wives — and not the only one to die under circumstances that have drawn investigative scrutiny decades later.Don Studey's first wife Lucy reportedly died by hanging in 1970. Their daughter, Lucy Studey-McKiddy, has alleged since 2007 that her father killed dozens of women and buried them in wells on the family's property in the Green Hollow area near Thurman, Iowa — Fremont County, approximately forty miles from Omaha. The alleged victims were reportedly vulnerable women targeted near bus stops and truck stops. Don's sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a hundred-and-sixty-eight-page journal describing alleged killings and indicated the body count could reach a hundred. Studey died in 2013 at age seventy-five without ever being charged.The FBI investigated in 2022. Cadaver dogs alerted at four locations across the property, which spans over four hundred and twenty acres. After three days of searching, investigators departed and announced they found nothing. Lucy McKiddy maintains they searched the wrong well.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries — conducted an independent sixteen-month investigation. He spent over a hundred hours with Lucy McKiddy, accessed the FBI dig site, and uncovered information not previously reported — including a deputy's claim that the first victim of John Wayne Gacy was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family, alleged ties between Studey and the Kansas City mob, and an unsolved robbery connected to Studey's activities. In Tabor and Thurman, Motta documented accounts from residents who described Studey as the most feared man in the area.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake provides behavioral analysis of the case — examining the pattern of deaths connected to Studey, the evidentiary basis for the allegations, what the FBI's abbreviated investigation reveals about how the case was prioritized, and whether the totality of documented evidence and witness accounts meets the threshold that should have triggered a more comprehensive search of the property.Lucy's sister Susan disputes the allegations entirely. The family remains divided. No remains have been recovered. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is now streaming and reportedly presents new witness testimony and alleged accomplice accounts not included in prior investigations.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cadaver dogs alerted at four locations across Don Studey's property in Green Hollow, Iowa. The FBI drilled. After three days, they packed up and said they found nothing. Lucy Studey-McKiddy — the daughter who has been alleging since 2007 that her father killed dozens of women and buried them in wells on that land — says they searched the wrong well. The property spans over four hundred and twenty acres. The investigation that was supposed to answer decades of allegations barely scratched the surface.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries — spent sixteen months on the ground investigating this case before anyone with a camera showed up. He drove six hours after reading a Newsweek article about Lucy's allegations. He spent over a hundred hours probing her story. When the FBI moved in, he got waved past a checkpoint in a rental Caprice that looked like a cop car and watched the dig from the fence line. A deputy told him the first victim of John Wayne Gacy was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family — a connection nobody had publicly reported. In Tabor and Thurman, locals lined up to tell Bob their stories. Don Studey was the man everyone in those towns was warned about.The allegations are staggering in scope. Lucy says her father targeted vulnerable women near bus stops and truck stops in the Omaha area — women who disappeared without anyone looking for them. She says she carried bags of lye to the well as a child. She says she thought every trip might be her last. Don's sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a hundred-and-sixty-eight-page journal describing alleged killings and told investigators the count could reach a hundred. Bob uncovered alleged ties to the Kansas City mob and an unsolved robbery connected to Studey.The documented deaths of Don's own wives form their own pattern. His wife Lucy reportedly died by hanging in 1970 — Lucy McKiddy says her father told her for decades he choked her too hard. His wife Charlotte reportedly died from a rifle shot to the head in 1984. She was five-two. Nothing was documented at the scene that she could have used to trigger the weapon. That death was classified as self-inflicted until a 2023 re-autopsy found a possible defensive wound and reclassified the manner of death as undetermined. The original crime scene and autopsy photos are missing from Omaha police records.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake examines the behavioral evidence — what the pattern of deaths around Studey tells an investigator, what the FBI's abbreviated dig reveals about how the case was prioritized, and whether the evidence Lucy and Marilyn have provided meets the threshold that should have triggered a far more aggressive investigation.Lucy's sister Susan says it is all a lie.

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 classified as self-inflicted for nearly forty years. A 2023 re-autopsy found a possible defensive wound on her arm and reclassified the manner of death as undetermined. The original crime scene and autopsy photos are missing from police records.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake applies behavioral analysis to the full scope of the allegations — from the documented deaths of Studey's wives to his daughter's claims that he killed dozens of vulnerable women targeted near bus stops and truck stops in the Omaha area and buried them in wells on a property spanning over four hundred and twenty acres in the remote Green Hollow area near Thurman, Iowa. Drake examines what the FBI's 2022 investigation — cadaver dogs alerting at four locations, followed by a three-day dig that recovered nothing — reveals about how the case was assessed and why the search was limited to a fraction of the property.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries — brings sixteen months of on-the-ground investigation to the conversation. He spent over a hundred hours with Lucy McKiddy testing her story. He infiltrated the FBI dig site in a rental car that got waved past a checkpoint.

Bob uncovered alleged ties to the Kansas City mob. Don's sister Marilyn Kepler reportedly wrote a hundred-and-sixty-eight-page journal describing alleged killings and put the potential count at a hundred.Drake and Motta examine the case from opposite angles — behavioral pattern analysis and on-the-ground investigative instinct — and both arrive at the same conclusion: the investigation that occurred does not match the scale of the allegations. Lucy's sister Susan insists the claims are fabricated. The family remains deeply divided. No bodies have been recovered from the property.The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming now with new witnesses and alleged accomplice testimony The wells have not been fully searched.

Sixteen months. Over a hundred hours of phone calls. Multiple trips to rural Iowa. An FBI dig infiltrated in a rental car. A Gacy connection nobody saw coming. Alleged mob ties. An unsolved robbery. Two sisters telling opposite stories. And a case that refuses to die. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta — host of the Defense Diaries podcast and the man behind the most comprehensive John Wayne Gacy investigation ever produced — tells the full story of his time inside the Don Studey case for the first time.Don Studey is the alleged Green Hollow Killer — accused by his own daughter Lucy Studey-McKiddy of killing dozens of women and burying them in wells on the family's property near Thurman in Fremont County, Iowa. Bob drove to Green Hollow when the FBI moved on the property, got waved past a checkpoint, watched the dig from the fence line, and discovered that Gacy's first victim Tim McCoy was from the area and related to the Studey family. In the nearby towns, locals shared decades of stories about the man their parents warned them never to go near. Bob uncovered alleged connections to the Kansas City mob and an unsolved violent crime. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake provides the behavioral analysis — real trauma, credible childhood outcry, possible memory exaggeration in the numbers. After three days the agencies closed the case. Lucy says they drilled the wrong well. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming now.

The parents in Tabor and Thurman told their kids the same thing for decades — don't go into the hollow. Stay away from Don Studey. He was the boogeyman of Green Hollow, Iowa, and the community around him allegedly knew exactly what kind of man he was. When criminal defense attorney Bob Motta went into those small towns to interview locals about the alleged Green Hollow Killer, everyone wanted to talk. People who knew Don Studey personally told Bob they wouldn't be surprised if bodies turned up in those wells. The younger generation shared the legends they'd grown up hearing. The mayor invited him to dinner. And a deputy sheriff standing on the fence line at the dig site dropped a bombshell that shook Bob to his core — John Wayne Gacy's first known victim, Tim McCoy, was from Green Hollow and was related to the Studey family by blood. Bob had just produced the most comprehensive Gacy investigation in podcast history and had been talking to Lucy Studey-McKiddy for months. She never mentioned the connection. Beyond the Gacy revelation, Bob uncovered alleged ties between Don Studey and motorcycle clubs, the Kansas City organized crime outfit, and an unsolved supper club robbery where people were shot and killed — with multiple local sources reportedly naming Studey as one of the participants. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders is streaming now.

Parents in rural Iowa warned their children for decades — don't go back into the hollow, stay away from Don Studey. He was the boogeyman of Green Hollow. And when criminal defense attorney Bob Motta went into the small towns of Tabor and Thurman to start interviewing locals about the alleged Green Hollow Killer, he found out the legend ran deeper than anyone knew. A deputy on the fence line at the dig site casually mentioned that John Wayne Gacy's first known victim — Tim McCoy — was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family. Bob had produced thirty-six episodes on the Gacy case and had been talking to Lucy Studey-McKiddy for months about her father. She never mentioned it. In town, Bob was welcomed with open arms. The mayor invited him to dinner. Everyone had a story. People who knew Don Studey personally said they believed Lucy's claims. The older generation had firsthand accounts of who Studey was. The younger generation had grown up hearing the warnings. And then the intelligence got darker — alleged connections between Don Studey and motorcycle clubs, reported ties to the Kansas City mob, and a direct connection to an unsolved supper club robbery where people were shot and killed. Multiple sources reportedly pointed at Studey as one of the participants. The community had been sitting on these stories for decades. Bob Motta was the first person they felt comfortable telling.

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. The mayor invited Bob to dinner. Locals sat with him and shared firsthand accounts of Don Studey — a man whose own neighbors told their children to stay away from, a man the older generation believed was capable of exactly what Lucy Studey-McKiddy has been alleging for years. But the biggest revelation came from a deputy sheriff standing on the fence line at the dig site. He told Bob that John Wayne Gacy's first known victim, Tim McCoy, was from Green Hollow — and was related to the Studey family. Bob had just finished a thirty-six-episode deep dive on the Gacy case. Lucy never mentioned the connection. And the stories didn't stop there — alleged ties to motorcycle clubs, the Kansas City organized crime outfit, and an unsolved supper club robbery where people were killed.

Plus timely discussion on J.D. Vance/Pizzagate investigation talk, Melania Trump on Epstein files, and the ongoing demoralizing news cycle.  Austin shares updates on his solo project breaking down these parallels and why free speech is under attack via "Project Esther" and anti-Semitism weaponization.  If you want early access, ad-free episodes, VIP Bohemian Grove tickets (only 50 available — dropping soon on toplopsta.com), and merch discounts, join the Patreon: patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquad Support Austin & stay in the fight:Underclass Podcast (YouTube & main hub)Follow Austin on X: @UnderclassPod Timestamps & full show notes.

Through a twist of fate, Conti, now a young and inexperienced attorney, is called upon to handle Gacy's final death row appeals. The serial killer soon becomes her most famous, difficult, and haunting client.Thirty years after Gacy's execution, Conti looks back through the eyes of a seasoned professional on the legal and media circus that ensued—and her countless hours of detailed conversation with the killer clown. We hear for the first time about Gacy's gruesome “Body Book.” Were there more victims? Conspirators involved in the murders? What secrets were buried with him?If one were to ask Conti, “How could you represent such a monster?” she would respond, “What you really want to know is, ‘What was he like?'” This book answers that question. KILLING TIME WITH JOHN WAYNE GACY: Defending America's Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row-Karen Conti

John Wayne Gacy /// Part 2Episode: 106www.TrueCrimeGarage.comJohn Wayne Gacy was liked by most who knew him. He was a sharp businessman who had spent his time building up his contracting company, hosting elaborate parties, and entertaining children at hospitals. People thought of him as a generous, friendly, and hard-working man. However, there was another side that few had ever witnessed... Or at least lived to tell about. For several years John Wayne Gacy viciously tortured, raped and murdered more than thirty young men, who would later be discovered in his home and in the local river. This is the story of a community leader who was called the most hated man in America.
