by

As a dedicated gamer and true crime enthusiast, I have spent countless hours binge-watching various documentaries and series that delve into unsolved mysteries and heinous crimes. The latest addition to my watchlist is Netflix’s gripping true crime series, “Homicide: Los Angeles,” which examines the tragic case of missing person Gavin Smith.

Netflix’s gripping true crime series, “Homicide: Los Angeles,” delves into the grisly 2012 murder of Fox executive Gavin Smith. In the episode titled “A Hollywood Affair,” viewers are given a fresh perspective on this intriguing case and uncover shocking new information. The investigation process is also highlighted, leading to the apprehension of suspect John Creech for the heinous crime. You can now stream this enthralling series on Netflix.

As a gamer, I once followed the mysterious disappearance of Gavin Smith from news reports. He attended a movie convention in Las Vegas and headed towards Oak Park, California. Instead of going home, he opted to stay at a friend’s place. One night, Smith vanished without a trace from his friend’s house. ABC News broke the story that Smith was reported missing when he didn’t show up for work the next day. His wife filed a report, and authorities launched an investigation. Sadly, after nearly two years of searching, they declared Smith dead in May 2014. But just five months later, hikers discovered human remains in Angeles National Forest – it was Gavin Smith.

While delving deeper into the case, I, as an engaged gamer following the latest news, uncovered that John Creech was eventually indicted for the fatal incident. According to People Magazine, Creech’s wife, Chandrika Cade, had been involved in an affair with a man named John Smith since 2008, during their shared rehab stay. I learned that Creech discovered this infidelity and confronted the couple. In court, Cade admitted that Creech attacked Smith as soon as he found them together. She left the scene but Creech persisted in assaulting him, ultimately resulting in Smith’s death. The jury determined that Creech was responsible for voluntary manslaughter and sentenced him to 11 years imprisonment. Presently, he is incarcerated in a California prison, continuing to serve his sentence.

Where is Gavin Smith’s killer John Creech now?

According to the California Department of Corrections’ information, John Creech, the individual believed to have taken Gavin Smith’s life, is currently incarcerated at FCI Victorville Medium II in Central California. As indicated on their website, Creech is scheduled for release from prison on February 17, 2029.

At the trial, the prosecution asserted that John Creech had inflicted grossly unpleasant harm on Gavin Smith. They further described the act as “unfathomable violence.” In contrast, the defense maintained that Creech acted in self-defense when assaulting Smith. According to People Magazine, Creech trailed his wife, Chandrika Cade, due to concern for her wellbeing. He stated that Smith had instigated the altercation and brandished a weapon against Creech, prompting him to retaliate.

In the end, John Creech was determined by the jury to be responsible for voluntary manslaughter rather than first or second-degree murder.
