Charles Thomas Miller, a Black/African American man, was found dead in the desert near Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1974. His body was discovered alongside Gordon Lee Stanton’s; both men had fatal gunshot wounds.

The case moved after the November 1974 arrest of Thomas Eugene Creech. Creech confessed to numerous killings across states and led investigators to the remains of Miller and Stanton. Although some of Creech’s claims were later judged to be false, the details he provided about these two victims were corroborated by physical evidence at the scene. Subsequent investigation linked Creech to the deaths, and he was convicted for multiple murders, including Charles Miller’s.

Anyone with memories of Miller, Stanton, or that area in 1974 is asked to share information that might still help clarify the events surrounding these killings.
