According to Rolling Stone, Lucy Studey told a similar story about her father once before. In 2007, Donald accused Lucy of stealing $16,000 from him, at which time she reportedly told the police her father was a serial killer. (According to some reports, Lucy’s 2022 revelation to the police about her father’s killing spree was the first time the authorities heard the allegations.) Lucy also insists that she told trusted adults in her life about what happened throughout her childhood.

According to Lucy’s sister, Susan, though her father had a criminal record (including one charge of assault) and spent time in prison, he never killed anyone. Susan claimed that Lucy’s accounting of their childhood was made up. According to the Des Moines Register, a third Studey sister could not be reached for comment. The lone Studey brother, Gary Studey, died in 2004. Speaking with Newsweek in a follow-up report, Susan said, “My father was not the man she makes him out to be. He was strict, but he was a protective parent who loved his children … Strict fathers don’t just turn into serial killers.”
