Shortly after police found Brianna Armstrong’s body in pieces and thrown into trash bags, court documents say investigators searched her husband’s house for tools that could have been used to chop her up.
The paperwork says police looked for knives, saws, and axes. They didn’t find anything.
Brianna was last seen on May 7th. Her husband, Corey Creek, reported her missing two days later. Two weeks after that, Brianna’s car was found in a parking lot off Newtown Road.
And on May 31st, a bicyclist found her body dumped near the Great Dismal Swamp.
During that whole time, family and friends searched for her. Court papers say someone, somewhere was keeping her alive for most of the time she was missing.
When police found her remains, the documents say she had been murdered just a few days earlier. The day after the remains were found, police identified them as Brianna Armstrong’s.
Later that same day, an affidavit says detectives asked Creek to meet him at his house on Mark Street.
When Creek got there, the court papers say, he refused to talk to police. The affidavit goes onto say, Creek told police he talked to a lawyer, who told him not to let police inside.
NewsChannel 3 talked to Chesapeake Police spokesperson Kelly O’Sullivan, and asked if Creek is a suspect or a person of interest.
She told us “I am not saying yes, and I am not saying no.”
