John Richard Creech was 40 when he went missing from his home near Meridian, Texas, in early April 2009. He was last in contact with family around that time. Shortly after his disappearance, his 1988 blue Chevrolet pickup truck was found abandoned in a Walmart parking lot in Hillsboro, Texas.

Investigators reopened the cold case in 2022. The Bosque County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers carried out searches in Lake Whitney after a tip that Creech’s remains might be there; several vehicles were found in the lake, but searches did not turn up evidence that resolved the case. Little else is publicly known about the circumstances of his disappearance.

If anyone has information about John Creech, his 1988 blue Chevrolet pickup, or movements in early April 2009, please come forward to authorities.
