00:00Hey, babe, uh, last thing I'll say to you, Deb, I apologize for screwing around on you.
00:20I just wish you would have been in a little different way, you know?
00:24Honestly, it don't mean s***, so you have a nice life.
00:54What's your name?
00:56Randall, he's the ex-police officer.
00:58I'll say.
01:06I would kill again.
01:07I'm dead.
01:08I'm alive.
01:09I don't think it was wrong.
01:11The thing inside of me, it's like the appetite.
01:15Hey, take a look, it's gone.
01:20Younger.
01:27A sheriff's deputy from Kentucky is accused of killing his girlfriend.
01:31Kentucky police say Randall Creek murdered his girlfriend at her Kentucky home on Sunday night.
01:36On Monday, Kentucky authorities suspected he was in Iowa.
01:55Hey, Mark, it's Randall.
01:56I won't be working with you anymore, brother.
01:59I shot my ex-girlfriend.
02:02I'm sure she's dead.
02:04F*** lying to me.
02:05And now she's dead.
02:09Got some bad news for you.
02:11Uh, me and my girl was gonna get back together.
02:14She's been lying to me all the whole f***ing time.
02:17I shot the f*** in the back of the head.
02:21So, I put into a three in her chest, one in the back of the head.
02:24After fleeing Kentucky, Randall Creek stopped at the North Liberty Library to taunt police officers
02:33who were looking for him nearly 500 miles away.
02:36He emailed saying he wasn't going to put up a fight.
02:39However, he was going to make the Kentucky State Police earn their money.
02:47As he's fled Kentucky, he leaves breadcrumbs all along the way for law enforcement,
02:51taunting them, giving them clues.
02:54But there's an arrogance about how he does this.
02:58He doesn't sound concerned.
02:59He doesn't sound upset.
03:00And ultimately, what Randall Creek is saying is, this is about me.
03:04Let me tell you how I got wrong.
03:05Let me tell you how I had no choice but to take this person out.
03:09Investigators back in Kentucky traced Creek to North Liberty and then alerted officers in eastern Iowa.
03:25Thirty minutes later, police found his truck at a hotel in Evansdale.
03:30I don't know how you guys are perceived by your peers, but everybody that met me over the last 10 or 20 years,
03:58they would tell you they thought I would be where I'm at right now.
04:06Really?
04:07Oh, yeah.
04:08They thought that I was a killer 20 years ago.
04:11And it's just because of my persona, I guess, you know?
04:15But like I said, I guarantee if you interviewed 100 people right now, they'd say,
04:19I knew this was going to happen.
04:21They just didn't know he was going to be a girl.
04:23They figured it'd be a guy.
04:25The fact that Creek would self-disclose this makes you wonder, like, what is it about him?
04:33Is he somebody that's been wearing a mask, essentially looking and appearing to the public one way as a law-abiding law enforcement officer?
04:42But in reality, he's really somebody very different.
04:44How much of this is also his inflated ego and trying to present himself as somebody who's particularly cold and a killer?
04:54Do you want to go by you ask questions or you want me to start from the beginning?
04:59What do you want to do?
05:00I personally think it's better if you start from the beginning.
05:03I dated this girl for five years.
05:05OK.
05:06Debbie Radice.
05:08I've been divorced since 1995.
05:11I saw her at a nightclub and I was pretty drunk.
05:15Next thing you know, we started dating and stuff and everything was good, man.
05:18First couple of years was really good.
05:23We never were talking about marriage or anything at that point.
05:26Well, the third year, going on the fourth, is when she started getting really serious and let's talk about our future.
05:34She had a couple of grandchildren and stuff and I ain't gonna lie to you, man, I was not ready to be a grandfather.
05:41But I knew that the summer of 2008, if I didn't marry this girl, it was coming to an end.
05:51So all my buddies are 30 to 35.
05:54So what happened?
05:56They all get married.
05:57They got little babies now.
05:59I've already been there and done it.
06:00Everybody's kind of gone there several ways.
06:02But my best friend, like I said, he just f***ing left me.
06:05What we know about people with maladaptive or negative personality traits is behind their presentation, their grandiosity, their overinflated sense of self-importance.
06:20They're fragile.
06:21They're weak.
06:22They fear being abandoned.
06:23And with Randall Creek, we see this pattern.
06:26He has this expectation that people are gonna drop everything for him.
06:30And to not do that, to not meet his needs, he starts to have problems regulating his own impulse control.
06:36Very quickly, his ego comes to its knees.
06:39He has a difficult time not being the center of attention.
06:43And come to find out now, later, you know, she'd been thinking about splitting with me for several months.
06:50And I told her, I said, you need to break up with me.
06:52I said, you need to tell me if we're, you know, breaking up.
06:55She goes, she finally, she goes, yeah, I guess we are.
06:58But here's, here's where the snag.
07:01So the next thing you know, I start missing her.
07:05You know, I still had feelings for the girl.
07:08And in her mind, it was too late.
07:10I said, look, let's make, let's try to make it work.
07:18And I said, because I thought we'd just be friends.
07:22And so we started going out to lunch about once a week.
07:27She would still kiss me, hug me.
07:30And after about a month, I just told her, I said, look, this is tough for me.
07:35I love you to death.
07:36I didn't realize I loved you as much as I do until now.
07:40And we started looking at rings.
07:42Well, that wasn't good enough.
07:44She goes, she goes, Randall, why didn't you do this six months ago?
07:49So anyway, when she shot me down on the rings, I think, damn, maybe this girl, she's moved on.
07:56Creek is providing a motive as he's talking here.
08:02You get the sense he's feeling misled or he's confused because they're meeting once a week for lunch.
08:07She's kissing him and hugging him.
08:09Individuals with psychopathy have a difficult time reading the room in regards to emotions.
08:15For Creek, that is the ultimate slap in the face.
08:18It's the rejection.
08:19And unlike the average individual who might be disappointed about a rejection, individuals with psychopathy may ruminate on that rejection.
08:28And that rumination just fuels their anger and desires for vindication.
08:33This is where she got in trouble.
08:36So that particular week, I was depressed.
08:39Trying, sending her flowers, all this stuff, cards, nice cards, all kinds of things that I don't normally do.
08:48I started to do everything that I'm not all about.
08:52We can have a good life.
08:54And then a couple of days, I either couldn't get a hold of her.
08:59She just, she went ice cold.
09:02So Friday the 26th, I had a bag packed.
09:06I emptied my bank account out.
09:08I was heading to Anchorage, Alaska.
09:11And I just knocked on her door.
09:13I said, look, she hadn't answered my calls for a couple of days, which I wasn't one of these stalker type guys.
09:19He initially says, I'm doing all the things that I don't normally do, like gift flowers and cards and gifts.
09:28And he's doing it a lot now.
09:30That's called love bombing.
09:32All of it was hollow.
09:34Everything that he did was simply to try to keep the victim around because that's what psychopaths do.
09:41He's going to now do something dramatic.
09:44On its face, it looks like I'm emptying out of my bank accounts and packing up all my stuff and I'm going to Anchorage, Alaska.
09:51But the reality is, is that he already planned to murder her.
09:55And his plan was to kill her and then escape to Alaska.
09:59That was what he wanted to do.
10:01I knock on her door.
10:03I said, I just want to let you know, you know, since me and you ain't going to be, obviously you're not going to work out.
10:09Then I'm, I'm leaving.
10:13Well, worst thing she could ever do is invite me in.
10:20We have sex.
10:21It wasn't sex.
10:22We were making love.
10:23For me, it was like a really special deal.
10:27Well, right after all that went down, then that's when we start talking about, this is things that you need to improve on or we need to work on to make this work.
10:39So she starts giving me hope.
10:41Well, I call her the next day.
10:47She don't answer the phone.
10:49And then on Sunday when I call, she's nowhere to be found.
10:53This is how you talk about misleading someone.
10:56She's a good guy.
10:57She's a good guy.
10:59In Kreke's mind, the narcissistic injury that he won't ever forgive her for is that she left him.
11:05She quit him and his ego is way too fragile to handle that kind of rejection.
11:09As a narcissistic individual doesn't handle a wound to their ego.
11:14They don't handle rejection.
11:16It's not about what the other person wants.
11:19It's not about the relationship.
11:20It's about their needs exclusively.
11:26So anyway, I call her Saturday afternoon.
11:29No message.
11:30No answer.
11:31He tells police officers that he's willing to accept this idea that she needs some space.
11:59But in reality, he doesn't give her any space at all.
12:03He's already love-bombed her.
12:05And now, even though he's not a stalker, he's leaving incessant voicemail after voicemail.
12:10They happen so frequently that it becomes stalker.
12:14It becomes scary.
12:17For a woman, these kinds of behaviors are red flags.
12:22For the psychopath, they're just normal, everyday business.
12:25So I try it again about midnight.
12:28Okay, approximately, you know, midnight.
12:32Well, next thing you know, the phone's busy.
12:35So I didn't hear from her on the cell phone.
12:37You know, I probably called three times on that.
12:40Tried three or four times on that.
12:42I got a busy signal.
12:44Still didn't hear nothing.
12:45All right.
12:47Now, now Randall's getting suspicious.
12:50It was like she was living a double life.
12:52Worst thing we'll ever do is give me some hope.
13:02So next thing you know, I was cruising down 31, and I'm getting pissed at that point.
13:08I pull up.
13:23I roll in, and there's a red Corvette there.
13:27And I saw the Corvette, and I was like, oh, I can't compete with it.
13:31I got a Ford pickup.
13:33You know what I mean?
13:33He's probably got some money.
13:36So anyway, I knock on the door.
13:38I'm pissed.
13:40I was in uniform.
13:41I was in my vest, the whole package.
13:44So I have a gun on the side.
13:47If that spare keep would have been there, and I saw that car, I'd have went in.
13:53And I'd have probably shot both of them.
13:55Straight up.
14:00For him, that level of frustration gets to a point where now he has to exact blame.
14:05He has to exact revenge.
14:06He has to do a physical act in order to get that power and control back.
14:11Because he's been so deeply wounded.
14:14And that's the fragility of the narcissism that we're talking about.
14:18Because his psychopathy is so fueled by narcissism, any wound in of itself is going to have an outburst, right?
14:27His behaviors are going to be so overblown as a result.
14:31And she finally got up, came in.
14:35This is where she up.
14:37She thought she was going to come out and we were going to have a conversation.
14:41Well, we just had a, we've had enough conversation.
14:45Okay.
14:45Well, you ever have a girl look at you and you just know she's lying?
14:50You just know, this is lying.
14:53So she comes out and she's real cold natured, you know.
14:56She had her little house coat on and she came in there by the truck.
15:00I said, what are you doing?
15:01I said, why did he stay on the right?
15:02I said, why did you guys have sex?
15:04And she goes, I didn't sleep with him.
15:06You just stood off my driveway?
15:08Oh, yeah.
15:10I don't know if you've ever been involved in the shooting.
15:13I don't know if you have.
15:13But you shake a little bit.
15:17You know, I was in combat.
15:20But a handgun's a little different.
15:22I know I was probably shaking like that.
15:25And I knew there was one in the chamber.
15:27I never have hit a woman.
15:29I've never slapped a lady.
15:32I've never done it.
15:34But I've seen a lot of death.
15:36You know what I'm saying?
15:38And so she turned her back on me and leaned on my truck.
15:45Like, I felt like I was just ignored and lied to.
15:49And she didn't want to face me.
15:52I was dismissing you.
15:53I feel disrespected.
15:54And so when she turned her back against being leaned over on that damn thing,
16:02something just kicked in.
16:03And boom, there it was.
16:07Creek is now blaming the victim.
16:10He's justifying his behaviors.
16:12And he felt disrespected.
16:14There is also a clear lack of remorse as Creek is speaking.
16:18And we know that individuals with psychopathy
16:20don't have the same emotional attachment to relationships
16:25as the average individual.
16:27And in this case, there's no point in the interview
16:30that Creek has talked about feeling bad,
16:34feeling guilty, or regretting what he did.
16:37If anything, he's justified his actions.
16:42I just remember, boom, boom.
16:46And I saw her moving.
16:54And I'm thinking, well, if I'm already in this deep,
16:57we're going to put a couple more in her.
17:00So I think I put two or three or four rounds in her chest.
17:04Where do you think the first shot was?
17:06First shot was behind the head.
17:08I think that killed her.
17:09And the way she dropped,
17:15like if you shot a deer before,
17:17I don't want to claim a human person like a deer,
17:20but it looked kind of like the same concept
17:21when you made a really good shot on a deer.
17:24Well, in the back of the head, it's a pretty good shot.
17:30I tell you what's bad is I thought it was going to ricochet.
17:33And it was right there on concrete.
17:36So I'm thinking, damn, I'm only going to shoot.
17:38Because if she had been over in the grass,
17:41he'll only be able to hit you the whole damn clipboard.
17:45So far away from you, do you think
17:47it's my first shot in the back of it?
17:49As close as it's possible.
17:51After that went down,
17:53old dude comes out.
17:55And I'm like, you got to me.
17:57out of mullet.
18:01I'm talking the old 1985 mullet.
18:05I'm like, you got to be me.
18:08I'm competing against Billy Ray Siren.
18:15Every single decision,
18:16every single behavior that she did
18:18was the absolute wrong one in his mind.
18:22And because of that,
18:23she needed to be taught a lesson.
18:25Several bullets worth of a lesson.
18:27And when the man comes out,
18:30you can see the level of animosity that he has.
18:35This is the only real time that we get any real kind of emotionality.
18:41He's more offended that this man is less of a man than him,
18:47than he is at being shameful and feeling guilty
18:52that he took another person's life.
18:57I saw a man.
18:58He went back in the house.
19:00I believe everybody gets a lucky day from time to time.
19:03And that was his lucky day.
19:06Out of the two women
19:07that I,
19:09that I,
19:10you know,
19:10one of them I shot,
19:11I should have shot the other one.
19:14You know what I'm saying?
19:16And I almost did years ago.
19:19But it just didn't happen.
19:21But she was just a b****.
19:23You know what I mean?
19:24Like this one wasn't really a b****.
19:26This one just chose to move on.
19:28That dynamic of power and control
19:33we see in DV perpetrators all the time.
19:37Things have to be on their terms.
19:38It's my way or the highway.
19:40And in the case of Randall Creek,
19:41he's not actually any different than every other criminal
19:44who's in prison for killing a spouse
19:47or killing a partner.
19:49But he has this ongoing need to put himself on a pedestal.
19:53And his choice of how to do it is to say,
19:55people aren't going to be surprised that I did this.
19:58It's as if Creek wants to live up to this reputation
20:01that he's a bad boy,
20:03that he's a rebel somehow.
20:04And all he really is,
20:05is a criminal who didn't get caught before now.
20:28And that's what we're...
20:32If you want to live up to us,
20:33isn't it?
