didn t make sense to me. glamorous, good-looking, golden. the dashing hollywood movie executive. he was more like a movie star in real life. just so charismatic. perfect southern california family. he completely dropped off the face of the earth. a baffling disappearance, where was he? not just a missing person. he has three sons, he has a wife. i was very afraid that something terrible was wrong. and i got scared. the clues, a missing mercedes. a handprint in blood. and a musical chairs of secret affairs. we have multiple of affairs. yes, those were more women, more lovers involved in this whole thing. was this beauty hiding something deadly? i wanted to get away, i was scared. how would this hollywood story and? i was in fear for my family. i don t want to lose my dad. like who are these people? hello and welcome to dateline. gavin smith was a larger than life kind of guy who lived life to the fullest. he was not the type to slip quietly
so, did she? again and again, detectives listen to the undercover tape. i believe 100% that she did not know that was going to happen. she did not set it up. but they wondered, did she help cover it up? it is a serious business covering up a crime that awful. but chandy had a card to play. she agreed to testify. members of the jury. and in 2017 john creech went on trial. on the face of it, it looks like a solid case. the phone evidence, the cover-up, the truly appalling crime scene in gavin s car. but did it add up to first green murder? gavin smith had been dead five years. he was killed and his mercedes-benz, in an act of almost stunning brutality by the defendant, john creech, who is sitting in the courtroom.
this became gavin s tomb. what happened wasn t merely an out burst of rage, said prosecutor bobby gray, no, creech have been plotting for two years. ever since he found out about chandy and gavin. after that day in september 2010, when at the mother s request, gavin sense met with john creech at his house. we just wanted to make sure that my dad wasn t in harm s way. were you sobbing and crying? yes. and what resetting to the defendant? i was just begging him not to harm my family. but, they testified, creech told them that they did the right thing. he said that we saved his life by coming that day. but their rules. that is why it chandrika, now divorced from john creech, said as she finally took a witness sent. as long as their father stayed away from me and had no communication whatsoever, their father would be fine. did he say what would happen if he didn t?
that evidence. chandy s testimony, friends, dna, it all condemned john creech. but a surprise was coming for everyone. raise your right hand. coming up. i was scared for my life. a traumatic tale from the stand. he approached me. pulled me by my sort. or put his hand up my third, was choking me. who attacked who? and who would the jury believe? my skin was just crawling. when dateline continues. it s a new day. .stop settling. .and i m feelin good. start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy.
