Deputies investigating Preble County shooting deaths as murder-suicide

GASPER TWP. — The shooting deaths of two Preble County residents at a West Lakengren Drive home are being investigated as a murder-suicide, according to the sheriff’s office.

Bradley D. Creech, 56, and Susan K. Creech, 55, were found dead at their home Saturday night.

Deputies responded to the married couple’s home around 10:30 p.m. after a family member contacted the sheriff’s office about not being able to contact Bradley, who also had not reported to work.

Deputies found Bradley deceased on the lower level with multiple gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff’s office.

Susan was reportedly found upstairs and was dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The case remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office and Preble County Coroner’s Office.
