R.I.P.   Amber Gail Creek

Amber Gail Creek was a 14 year old girl who was murdered in 1997 and her body was left in marshland in western Racine County.

This week the Racine County Sheriff Department announced the arrest of a suspect of Amber’s murder.

Hopefully, closure can now begin for the family of Amber Gail Creek.

The case remained unsolved for 17 years.

The wheels of justice often turn painfully slow, but they still turn.

With the tenacity and persistence of numerous law enforcement agencies, the agencies were finally able to put the pieces of the puzzle together by the use of fingerprint and DNA technologies. This tedious work lead to the identity and arrest of  36 year old James Eaton of Illinois.

This arrest occurred because of the hard forensic work of investigators and the cooperation between numerous governmental agencies.

To the detectives in Racine county  and to all who worked diligently on this case……

Job well done.

Thank you
