Southwest Iowa Serial Killer Claim Investigated

The Fremont County, Iowa Sheriff's Office, along with other law enforcement agencies, is investigating reports of possible buried human remains.

They are investigating claims from a woman, who said her father, Donald Dean Studey, murdered at least 50 women in that area of Southwest Iowa decades ago and then buried them in a field or well near the town of Bartlett, which is just to the east of the Missouri River and Interstate 29.

Studey died in 2013;

The daughter's story was recently featured in "Newsweek.com."

She says the victims are prostitutes or transients from Omaha, who were lured to the area.

The Sheriff says that a cadaver dog did pick up a scent of human remains this past weekend at the field, but he says there is currently no credible evidence to prove the woman's claims or other rumors as the investigation continues.
