Randall Creek (right) and son
SMITHS GROVE, Ky. - Not sure if any of you have been following this or not, but I found it kind of interesting. The actual story concerns a Sheriff’s Deputy, Randall Creek, 41, who shot his ex-girlfriend, Debbie Rediess, 46, to death in her driveway after a 3-month breakup. He was then on the run and was apprehended on Saturday at a Days Inn in Waterloo, Iowa. Case closed, kinda. What makes the case interesting is the fact that Creek sent two emails to Bowling Green Daily News. One shortly before the shooting and then one after. You can read portions of both after the jump.
On Sunday, 3hours before the shooting, Creek sent this:
I usually right letters concerning our local, state, and federal government issues. Today I want to talk about another subject that has been near to my heart lately. The subject I am referring to is love and committment to your spouse. Me and my girlfriend of 5 years recently broke up due to the fact that I did not set a date for our wedding and that I did not take our relationship serious enough. I have been married before and the thought of getting married again scared me to death. The lady I recently dated is a great lady that loved me to death but she eventually got tired of waiting for me to set a wedding date so she finally ended our relationship. I don’t blame her for leaving but I guess the message I am trying to get across to couples in this area is never take for granted that your spouse or girlfriend will always be there. Love each other every day through the good and bad times and the rewards will outweigh any monetary gain available. I know it is probably too late between me and my ex-girlfriend to rekindle what we had but my goal is to encourage couples to tell each other that they love each other on a daily basis. Both parties should do special things for each other because there is no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow.
To my darling Debbie I love you very much and I hope that one day we will be married and live happily ever after.
Well, something happened after this was sent that left Debbie lying dead in her driveway. The email that was sent after the shooting was as follows:
I want to say how sorry I am for what happened but what’s done is done. Let’s talk about how we got to this point in my life. I dated Debbie Rediess for 5 years and I loved her very much. She constantly wanted to change me throughout our dating period but I never satisfied her completely. I treated her like a queen compared to her ex-husband John Rediess. We went on nice vacations, concerts, ballgames, sports bars, etc. all of the time. She broke up with me on our 5 year anniversary but she still had lunch dates with me the past couple of months and continued to hug, kiss, hold hands, and have sex with me but she also was having sex with another guy at the same time. 10 days ago we had sex and she wanted to get back together and she also stated she was going to tell the other guy about our recent ventures and cut him loose. On Saturday 10/4/08 she went out with him again to end things and when I did not hear from her Saturday night and early Sunday morning my suspicions kicked in. I was right on the money and he was sleeping in the bed I slept in for 5 years. When I assasinated her in her driveway her new boyfriend aka “Billy Ray Cyrus” saw me and he was scared off his ass and ran into the house like a smart human being. I know I am not the geatest looking guy but I have always done well with the ladies and for the love of my life to leave me for that ugly SOB was unbelievable. I am not running to get away but I am going to make the KSP earn their money on this one. I have called and now e-mailed everyone to give them leads so when we finally meet up I will cuff up like a man or as Deputy Tim Phillips of the Simpson County Jail calls it being 21 about it. FYI - I have never been armed after the encounter and there will be no chase or struggle I assure you. Finally, I love Andre’ my 19 year old handsome son more than anything in this world and I hope you great things with your life. Love to Andre’, my mother, my brother, David Gordon, Cody Gordon, David Ramsey, Phillips Resch, Patrick Solomon, Ted Sitz, Tim Phillips, and all of my other friends and family. This is what the US Army has produced a desert storm killer and there will be more like me I assure you.
P.S.
When the KSP comes and finally gets me I am requesting Todd Holder from the KSP and Capt. Brent Brown of the WCSO to do the transport because I have a lot of respect for both of them.
Randall Creek
Here is a news report with both of Debbie’s sons as well as Randall Creek’s son.
(Video report. If you are not seeing it, then your workplace is blocking Youtube)
This guy has ruined so many lives with this selfish act. Not meaning to downplay his deed, as this story is no less heinous than anything else we feature here at D’D, but we do not usually have the mindset of the accused before and after the act as well as some insight into both the family of the victim AND the accused. Just thought it worth checking out. A pretty shitty situation for all involved. I wish them all luck…aside from Randall Creek. I don’t wish him any luck at all.

Listen up people…if it doesn’t work out…find someone else, get a divorce, find a new hobby! Its not the end of the world. If people walk away from you…Let them walk! Its not their destiny to be with you anymore…You can’t make them stay! Yes its hard but TIME alone will help not TIME locked up in Jail!
Sorry for the rant!

Oct 7, 2008 at 11:12 am -What an egomaniacal piece of crap. Why do I say that? Because all he can talk about is ME, ME, ME. Going on and on about his feelings, then blaming the ARMY for producing “a desert storm killer” (this right after he claims he’s going to be an adult and take responsibility for his actions), and then ending with an incredible request for two specific deputies to take him into custody because he has a lot of respect for them.” NOT ONE WORD of remorse about the woman he killed, not one word period about the woman he killed (except for in relation to how she wronged him). Coldly says he “assassinated her.” Go to hell, scumbag.

Oct 7, 2008 at 11:15 am -p.s. great story, Morbid. Man–those emails are chilling. This guy is a sociopath. Even the fact that she broke up with him, he can only attribute it to what he did or didn’t do (as he says in the follow-up email, she was always “trying to change him”). Nothing about the woman who was killed. Who had a right to dump him for whatever reasons she wanted, and the right to have sex with whomever she wanted. He honestly thinks he had the “right” to do this–he felt like he owned her…and “the bed he had slept in for 5 years.” Nasty dirtbag.

Oct 7, 2008 at 12:56 pm -Maybe some nice butch lady cops will arrest him and maybe his head will get knocked against the roof of the patrol car just the slightest bit… I don’t condone police brutality, but, well, I just hope they don’t honor his wish to get arrested by particular cops (unless they do it in hopes that he’ll give a better confession if they do).
I thought his shout-out to his kid was weird: “Finally, I love Andre’ my 19 year old handsome son more than anything in this world and I hope you great things with your life.”
The handsome shout out is just kind of odd, along with the lack of recognition that he has provided his son with a terrible example of how to handle rejection.
And then:
“Love to Andre’, my mother, my brother, David Gordon, Cody Gordon, David Ramsey, Phillips Resch, Patrick Solomon, Ted Sitz, Tim Phillips, and all of my other friends and family.”
He sure loves him a lot of menfolks, no? That’s great, because there will be plenty of menfolks to give him the booty he’s been missing since Debbie set him aside.
And, meanwhile, her poor sons! He didn’t even acknowledge that he took their mama’s life.

If so: Congratulations. I just have to say that nothing - and that is nothing - she did “to” him would ever be enough reason for a reasonable person to kill her.
Walk away if somebody “cheats” on you (but was there not an issue of him being unwilling to commit to the relationship first? - sounds to me like she was pretty honest in her dealings), by all means. Just don’t pretend that anything that person has done gives you any right to take a life.

Already setting up part of his defense, in writing. Nice of him to email before and after. That tells me he’s been thinking along these lines for quite some time. In my eyes, very convenient. And what a manly man. It’s all about him. No wonder she wandered. I wouldn’t have wandered, nor would I have let that shit go on for five years. But that’s me NOW.
Waiting on her side of the story …………… waiting. Someone knows.

Umm, coming from an former Air Force dude, all branches of our military teach respect, among other things. Obviously, it takes for some, others, not so much.
She didn’t “deserve” to be gunned down, no matter her faults. And you did use the word “unstable” in your comment.
Obviously we need more information, from another point of view. However, I will not let your stupid comments piss me off because, well, consider the source; and you could at least proofread, please, if you want to be taken seriously.

I live in Louisville now, and heard on the news earlier that this guy was picked up in Iowa, outside of a Day’s Inn. Hopefully now he’ll get what he deserves.

Oct 7, 2008 at 2:12 pm -Here’s some relevant info from http://osi-speaks.blogspot.com.....eputy.html:
Late yesterday afternoon, Creek sent another e-mail to law enforcement and media in which he threatened Warren County Jailer Jackie Strode.
Creek ran as a Republican in the 2002 jailer’s race and was defeated by Strode, the incumbent. Creek also said in the e-mail that Strode fired him from a job at the county jail in 1999.
He said in the email, “If I have contact with him at his facility I assure you I will kill him with my bare hands and he knows I am capable even before this encounter happened.”
Holder said police had notified Strode, the jail and area law enforcement.

Scary that this shithead was an officer of the law. And sounds like he has a history of being a shithead.

Oct 7, 2008 at 2:21 pm -Okay, some fascinating tidbits to share.
From one site:
Late yesterday afternoon, Creek sent another e-mail to law enforcement and media in which he threatened Warren County Jailer Jackie Strode.
Creek ran as a Republican in the 2002 jailer’s race and was defeated by Strode, the incumbent. Creek also said in the e-mail that Strode fired him from a job at the county jail in 1999.
“If I have contact with him at his facility I assure you I will kill him with my bare hands and he knows I am capable even before this encounter happened,” he said in the e-mail.
*******************************************************************
And then from an older site:
Randall Creek and Jackie Strode both want to be in the Warren County Jail for at least the next four years.
Creek, a 35-year-old Republican, seeks to instill more discipline and structure in inmates and deputies alike, he said.This is his first run for office, but he’s not unfamiliar with the jail’s routine.
“When I got out of the military, I worked at the Warren County Jail for six years,” Creek said.”I was a supervisor two out of those six years.I reached the rank of captain.”
Creek commanded the jail riot team, was a pepper spray instructor and a hostage negotiator, he said, as well as supervising the weekend shift.
He was dismissed from his job by Strode, who gave as grounds misconduct by Creek.
Creek said that an attempt to impose discipline among inmates during his weekend shift after a series of disturbances – telling them to stand at least two to three feet away from jail deputies when speaking to them – was apparently taken as a threat.
But Creek said his firing isn’t the reason he’s seeking Strode’s job now.
“The biggest reason why I’m running is, I’ve talked to several police officers and deputy jailers in the past year and a half, and they think they need new leadership there,” Creek said.”They talked me into doing it.”
The Desert Storm veteran has lived all his life in Bowling Green except for his nine years in the Army, he said.He has one son, Andre, and has been loss prevention supervisor at Ralph Lauren Media/Shop NBC for 2 1/2 years.
Strode has been a Warren County resident since 1961, he said, coming originally from Fountain Run.He and his wife Nancy have four daughters and two grandsons.
He served two years in the Marine Corps, worked for two years at Warren Rural Electric, and was a Kentucky State Trooper for 21 1/2 years, he said.Now, he’s Sunday School superintendent at Three Springs Baptist Church.
Strode said he looks back with pride on his eight years as jailer.
Creek wants to tighten up the jail’s hiring process, with the jail’s chief deputies and supervisors screening applicants as well as the jailer.He said he also would not hire deputies with even a misdemeanor conviction (ex-felons are barred from working as jail deputies).
“No one on my staff, if elected, would ever have misdemeanor or felony convictions,” Creek said.
“In my opinion, if you want respect, you have to earn respect,” Creek said.
He advocates expanding educational and correspondence programs for inmates, at their own expense.
“The average inmate in this facility spends 23 hours in their cell,” Creek said.”That’s like maximum security in a federal prison.
“If you keep the inmates busier, it’ll cut down on your inmate-on-inmate assaults, your suicide attempts, your inmate-on-deputy assaults.”
But he also wants to extend church services in the jail to every evening, allowing more denominations to have services and to increase visitation for inmates from 15 minutes twice a week to 30 minutes three times a week.

He gave a shout-out in his email to his son, but he also had 4 daughters. What do you want to bet they all hated him and had no contact with him? The plot thickens.

And, YES, you DID say she deserved to die. To quote, you SAID, “she got what she deserved.”
You also said she was, quote, “fucking everyone in town.” Where’d you get this piece of “information,” anyway? Even the ass who murdered her only claimed she was sleeping with one other person. Not that it isn’t irrelevant to begin with–because it IS–but you are a damn fool idiot for taking this murdering piece of crap’s word at ANYTHING. I VERY MUCH DOUBT that she EVER told him she was getting back with him. I bet he’s lying that they had sex 10 days ago, too. But it DOESN’T MATTER. She had the right to fuck whomever she wanted.
