True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

A criminal defense attorney with no credentials, no badge, and a rental Chevy Caprice that happened to look like a cop car drove six hours to a remote Iowa crime scene — and got closer to the dig than the local deputies assigned to guard it. Bob Motta had been investigating the Don Studey case for months. The alleged Green Hollow Killer is accused by his own daughter, Lucy Studey-McKiddy, of killing dozens of women over decades and burying them in wells on property near Thurman in Fremont County, Iowa — about forty miles from Omaha. 
When Bob got word that the FBI, the Iowa DCI, and the Fremont County Sheriff's Office were descending on the property, he packed his car and drove straight to Green Hollow. What happened over the next three days reads like a true crime thriller — arriving in the hollow after dark, going viral on TikTok while local cops watched in real time, getting waved past a checkpoint by a deputy who thought he was law enforcement, being confronted by the sheriff who recognized him from his videos, and ultimately making it onto the fence line to watch federal agents core-drill a well to at least eighty-five feet. 
fter parts of three days, the agencies announced they found nothing and closed the case. Lucy says they searched the wrong well on a property spanning over four hundred acres. The Paramount+ documentary My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders explores the case further. This is part one.

Sandra Birchmore believed Matthew Farwell was coming around. He brought ginger ale to her apartment. She texted a friend that things were getting better. She was pregnant, making plans, contacting lawyers, preparing for a future she would never see. Farwell was making different plans entirely.
According to federal prosecutors, Farwell told one person that if Sandra didn’t 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.” Three different people. Three different conversations. All pointing toward a man who viewed a pregnant woman as a problem to be eliminated.
Sandra wasn’t just talking to friends. She had contacted lawyers. Prosecutors say she was developing a plan for child support and was prepared to disclose that Farwell had abused her since she was underage. For a married detective with a pregnant wife at home, Sandra had become an existential threat to everything he’d built.
Then came January 20, 2021. Eleven days before Sandra’s death. Her friend called the Stoughton Police Department to report Farwell’s relationship with Sandra. The department employee who took the call told Farwell. The institution that should have protected Sandra hand-delivered the warning to the man prosecutors say killed her.
On February 1, surveillance cameras captured Sandra walking in and out of her Canton apartment building. At 9:27 PM, Farwell entered. At 9:56 PM, he left. Sandra was never seen alive again.
This is Part 2 of a five-part series on the Sandra Birchmore case.

Three high-profile cases with active proceedings across multiple jurisdictions. Nick Reiner, 32, faces two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances — including the allegation of multiple murders and use of a deadly weapon — in the alleged stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, at their Brentwood residence. He pled not guilty through public defender Kimberly Greene. Prosecutors have not announced whether they will seek the death penalty. Reports of an alleged tell-all manuscript from Twin Towers Correctional Facility add a layer of complexity to what may become a mental health–centered defense.
David Anthony Burke, 21, known as D4vd, faces one count of first-degree murder with special circumstances — including financial gain and murder of a witness — one count of continuous abuse of a child under fourteen, and one count of unlawful mutilation of human remains in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 14. The autopsy lists the cause of death as multiple penetrating injuries to the torso. Prosecutors report forty terabytes of evidence, a wiretap, and exploitation material recovered from Burke’s phone. He pled not guilty. A preliminary hearing has been set.
Joseph Garrett Duggar, 31, faces two felony charges in Bay County, Florida, for alleged conduct involving a minor under twelve during a 2020 family trip. He pled not guilty and posted $600,000 bond. He and his wife, Kendra Duggar, 27, also face four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts each of second-degree false imprisonment in Washington County, Arkansas.
Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, provides behavioral and procedural analysis across all three cases in a listener-driven Q&A.
All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The 911 call from 932 Cunningham Court has been heard millions of times. A man sobbing, telling a dispatcher that someone broke in and shot his wife. Nearly eight minutes of panic, with two little girls asleep in the next room and a woman dead in the master bedroom.
But what investigators found allegedly told a different story. The garage side door that Caleb Flynn said the intruder used was blocked by a refrigerator. His handgun's storage location  --  the truck console  --  was sitting open. Two shell casings from a 9mm were on the floor near the bed where Ashley Flynn, 37, lay with two gunshot wounds to the head. She was a mother, a volleyball coach, a substitute teacher, and eight days short of her 38th birthday.
Three days later, Caleb Flynn  --  former American Idol contestant and worship pastor  --  was arrested and charged. The criminal complaint accused him of staging the entire scene. He has pleaded not guilty to all 11 counts, including aggravated murder.
In this first installment of our four-part series ahead of the May 4 trial, we walk through the night that started it all. The 911 call that sounded like terror. The bodycam footage that captured a husband in apparent freefall. And the physical evidence that, according to prosecutors, tells a completely different story than the voice on the phone.

Joseph Garrett Duggar, 31, of Tontitown, Arkansas, faces two felony charges in Bay County, Florida: lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under twelve and lewd and lascivious behavior by a person eighteen or older. The charges stem from alleged incidents during a 2020 family trip to Panama City Beach. A fourteen-year-old complainant disclosed to investigators that Duggar allegedly engaged in inappropriate contact with her on multiple occasions when she was nine years old. According to the arrest affidavit, Duggar made admissions to the complainant’s father and subsequently to a Tontitown police detective monitoring a recorded phone call.
Duggar pled not guilty via written plea and waiver of arraignment filed by defense counsel. He posted $600,000 bond with conditions prohibiting unsupervised contact with any person under eighteen. In a separate matter, both Joseph and Kendra Duggar, 27, face four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts each of second-degree false imprisonment in Washington County, Arkansas, charges reportedly connected to conditions discovered during a law enforcement search of their residence.
Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, provides behavioral analysis in a listener Q&A covering the procedural and psychological dimensions of both cases, including the implications of the recorded admission, the dual-state charging structure, and the behavioral indicators present in the family’s divergent public responses to the allegations.
All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
