certainly it looked that way, where was his body? how did his car wind up in this the storage locker? and above all, who would have wanted him dead? reina lyn certainly seemed an unlikely suspect. she told them she rented the storage unit for someone else. meanwhile, detectives hooked further into chandy s affair with gavin and discovered the two had met in rehab. and in december 2010, less than two years before gavin disappeared, lisa found out about it. i was heart broken. so she took an extreme step to save her family. she and two of her sons then 14 and 20 went to the house to speak to the them family to family. i was really upset when driving there. so i stayed in the car. i let my sons go in the house. but they didn t meet chndy in the chandy in there, they met her
machine said chandy, started slugging, wouldn t quit. and i was like stop, you re going to kill him. i was screaming my head off. and then he comes out of the car. he s like you re next. then i drove off. she was terrified, she said. afraid he d kill her too or tell the cops she set the whole thing up. so did she? they listened to the undercover tape. i believe she didn t know that was going to happen and she did note set it up. but they wondered, did she help cover it up? it s a serious business covering for a crime that awful. but chandy had a card to play. she agreed to testify. members and alternate members of the jury. and in june 2017, john creech went on trial. on the face of it, it looked like a solid case. the phone evidence, the cover-up, the truly appalling crime scene and gavin s car.
detectives john o brien and tyler bay had a problem. an important witness that wouldn t talk. chandy creech clammed up. there is more than one way to get a story. they found an associate of john creech s, someone who knew chandy, and convinced him to wear a wire and meet with her. it worked. do you want to know the story? yeah. once chandy felt safe, she spilled it. all of it. how she and gavin met in secret at that secluded cul-de-sac. got close in gavin s car. and then all of a sudden the door opened and johnny just goes like and i just, like, i pushed myself out this way and got out the driver s side. creech burst in like a
