Dwayne Alexander DiCicco was 25 when he disappeared from Kalispell, Montana, on August 13, 1974. He was last seen working as a heavy equipment operator in Columbia Falls, a few miles from home. A Vietnam War veteran who had moved to Montana a few years earlier, DiCicco had recently marked his first wedding anniversary and failed to follow up on a routine call with his mother.

In 1975 convicted killer Thomas Eugene Creech confessed to killing DiCicco, at one point saying he was hired by a motorcycle gang and that DiCicco was shot and dumped in Lake Sammamish, Washington; Creech later altered his account and suggested the body was hidden in a cave. No evidence has ever been found to support those statements, and DiCicco’s remains have not been located. Foul play is strongly suspected and the case remains open.

Does anyone have memories, records, or tips from the Kalispell or Columbia Falls area in 1974 that could help bring new information about Dwayne DiCicco?
