Thomas Eugene Creech: A Detailed Account of His Crimes
Early Life
Thomas Eugene Creech was born on September 9, 1950, in Hamilton, Ohio. He grew up in an unstable household where his parents frequently argued, eventually leading to a divorce. Creech was left to live with his father, who years later would die from unclear causes right in front of him. Creech claimed to have attacked the nurse who had tended to his father. The next few years of Creech's life are difficult to verify, as they are interwoven with hearsay and his own uncorroborated claims. From what little can be definitively confirmed, he ran away from his hometown and became a drifter, traveling frequently cross-country.
Crimes and Convictions
Thomas Eugene Creech was convicted of multiple murders across various states, including California, Idaho, and Oregon. He personally confessed to a total of 42 murders, some of which allegedly involved the Hells Angels and the Church of Satan. Most of his additional confessions are uncorroborated, but police believe strong evidence links Creech to seven additional murder victims.
