Sallie Brown, a longtime resident of Weleetka was born July 25, 1956 in Wofford Heights, California to Leola Edith and Halley Odetta Creech. She passed away Monday, July 17, 2006 at her home in Weleetka, Oklahoma at the age of 49 years 11 months and 22 days.

She is survived by her husband, Charles Brown, of the home;

daughter, Martha VanMeter & husband Wesley, Henryetta;

son, Mart Brown, Weleetka;

I gather this is the family.

As authorities continue to search for a person of interest in the murder of two young girls, residents of Weleetka and the surrounding communities gathered together for a fundraiser to help the families cover burial expenses. The event turned out raising a whole lot more than just money.

The cadence was familiar, but the items were unusual. A coconut cream pie, duck decoys, a blue thing that resembled a purse. They were elements of a foreclosure on frustration.

It's been one week since Taylor and Skyla were murdered and no one is accountable.

“Its just made everybody sick,” said one resident. “Don't happen here, but it did,” said another.

“I live two miles from where this happened,” said Bob Nelson, a Weleetka banker, who, like many, is desperate to somehow help. “I've got two grandchildren that age that live there in Weleetka and it's very important not only to catch the person that did this but to help the family.”

And so the word went out. Benefit at a local bar called Marvin's Place. Ribs in the smoker, music on the lawn, and an auction of the heart inside. “We need to put aside all the anger and everything else involved in the deal,” said auctioneer Hank Henke. “We just need to open our hearts and give all we can give.”

Even if that giving turned out to be more than what you got. Case in point? A can of green beans and tuna from an old woman in a nursing home. “That's what she could give but she gave everything she could give right there,” said Henke. Bidding was fast and furious. As if the beans were magical and the tuna was fresh off the boat. “Sold 'em $55 dollars !!! That's the way to start 'em right there!”

“It wasn't expensive at all.” Remember Bob? He had the winning bid. Turns out even bankers can't put a price on community. “Hey, we're not gonna eat 'em, we're gonna save these for a while,” he smiled.

That has been a lot of information on "Creech"! Great job posters!!

But I woud think that LE and OSBI have alredy checked this person out by ow. If not then none of them should be wearing a badge!

Has anyone sent this information to the LE?

Ok I wanna make sure I got this straight in my head. Melinda Creech disappeared in 1974
Shirley Jean Creech 5/30/1932 in Pennsylvania - died 7/17/2003 in Coweta, OK was Melinda's mother
I have requested a copy of her obit by email, hopefully I will get a response soon.
Caryl Creech is Melindas younger brother. If this is the case the family above cannot be the same as Melindas family correct?

I go back and forth on whether I think POI was made up as a cover for someone, just a witness, or involved.

The OSBI website says: "This person was seen outside this truck parked in the middle of the dirt road near where the two girls were found. Witnesses say he was there only minutes before the gun shots were heard." And Brown also said: "He was stopped on the road actually kind of blocking the way there, standing outside his pickup truck, doing something," she said. "And they couldn't really tell what he was doing, so they kept driving because it looked a little suspicious."

==============
I know we don't know if same witnesses saw POI and then the girls alive, or just POI. If witnesses did not see girls but POI by truck, were the girls already shot at that point, and if so, did his truck block the view of the girls? When the witness(es) were coming down the road, would they have seen POI for some time in advance since it was a farily straight road? I drew out a sketch of the road, where the girls were found, where I think the truck was, etc. so I can try to picture it better. But I realize that we don’t know for sure the position or direction of truck or witnesses. Does anyone picture it happening something like this and if not, why not?

· The girls were walking south from the bridge toward Taylor's house on the west side of the road. The POI in the truck was driving south (speculation) and pulled over on the right in front of the girls at an angle, jutting out into the road. (That would put his driver’s side door facing the middle of the road.)
· The POI got out and went over to the girls with 1 gun (or 2 guns).
· Something happened and he shot them (the why could be a number of things, they refused to get in the truck, they had seen something at the bridge, etc.). They fell where they were shot on the west side of the road in the ditch (which looks to be shallow and fairly close to the side of the road).
· He walked back to his truck to get his 2nd gun. He saw a vehicle coming south down the road so he stood outside the truck pretending to be doing something. The witness(es) had to drive slowly around the truck sticking out. The witness(es) were driving by slow to go around and got a good look at POI (I happen to think maybe was a man and a woman in a vehicle, the man noticed more truck/license tag details and the woman noticed his face and clothing).
· Or, the POI demanded that Taylor and Skyla get into the truck, and they refused, then he saw a vehicle coming down the road (how far can you see up the road, it’s a straight road), so he panicked and shot them, then walked around to the driver’s side of the truck and the vehicle passed.
· The POI then got a 2nd gun out of the truck and shot the girls again. He didn’t pick up the shell casings because he needed to get out of there quick; he got back into the truck, made a u-turn, and went back north toward the bridge.

I do not remember this part
Authorities continue to speculate that the killer or killers were local residents. But Friday morning, OSBI Special Agent Ben Rosser said authorities are expanding their investigation to include Oklahoma City, Seminole and Tulsa. At least 14 agents are working the case near Weleetka, Brown said.

All I could find is sexual battery, and lewd molestation and that his ex wife and I believe two minor children (just initials shown for them)were subpoena

http://www.odcr.com/detail.php?Case=073-CF 9900130&County=073-

Does anyone know if it's been confirmed whether the girls were sexually assaulted or not?
If there were not, I don't see a sexual predator killing them without molesting them.

OSBI says no - not sexually molested/assaulted. In addition they said the girls were found fully dressed as they were when they left for their walk.

My Opinion

 

[txsvicki]

Did OSBI correct the information that the POI's white truck was parked perpindicular on the road? That would make it almost straight across the road instead of just parked there on the road. I can't figure out why someone would be across the road like that. It calls more attention than just pulling over at an angle. I keep thinking maybe he ran out of gas just as he was about to make a U turn or turn around to go the other way.

I am convinced that he was the main one involved. I think he was alone. There were several witnesses on that road that day and no one reported that they saw any other suspicious person.

I do think the rest of your theory is most likely correct. He may have already interacted with them closer to the bridge and it did not go his way so he left and drove down the road some and waited for them to come by. I think he did the u-turn so he wouldnt come up behind the vehicle, that had shortly before, passed him.

Late last night I did a reverse lookup for Timothys address and C.S. Brown and Carla Brown came up.

Did OSBI correct the information that the POI's white truck was parked perpendicular on the road? That would make it almost straight across the road instead of just parked there on the road. I can't figure out why someone would be across the road like that. It calls more attention than just pulling over at an angle. I keep thinking maybe he ran out of gas just as he was about to make a U turn or turn around to go the other way.

Did they actually use the word "perpendicular"?

I thought the witness said the truck was sort of blocking the way. That could have meant that the witnesses' lane was blocked and they had to swing out some on the oncoming side in order to get around him.

From post 267, just above it says:

just fyi: found this comment on a news article. interesting.
NYC Sherlock, Jackson heights (6/16/2008 7:32:13 PM)
The man in the sketch is not Native American! He is a registered sex offender who recently moved back to Weleetka. He was given probation and served 7 years instead of 40 years. He is 6 feet tall with very DARK BROWN hair, HAZEL EYES, wears a PONY TAIL, is in his early 40's and has a history of violence involving a CHILD. OKLAHOMA does not notify residents that 4 [FOUR] NEW registered sex offenders hit the tiny town of Weleetka in the last 2 months! Two of them have FAMILIES there.
Wake up Weleetka and other towns and demand notification!

Somethin Claycat said caught my eye:



On another forum apparently one of the posters daughters lives in the area and said this:

P.S. Being new, I apologize if I wasn't suppose to quote other forums.

Ricquelle, thank you so much for this. I have been offline for awhile, because I am trying to draw pictures of the guys' faces. I won't look at this link until I'm finished, because I don't want the description to influence me. Thanks, again!

When I finish my drawings, I will post a link to them.
