Deputy Creek sent an e-mail about the murder to KSP and dozens of other people, including our Gene Birk.

KSP confirms the e-mail did indeed come from Randall Creek.

Some parts of the e-mail have been edited.

"I want to say how sorry I am for what happened but what's done is done. Let's talk about how we got to this point in my life. I dated Debbie Rediess for 5 years and I loved her very much. She constantly wanted to change me throughout our dating period but I never satisfied her completely. I treated her like a queen compared to her ex-husband ---- --------. We went on nice vacations, concerts, ballgames, sports bars, etc. all the time. She broke up with me on our 5 year anniversary but she still had lunch dates with me the past couple of months and continued to hug, kiss and hold hands.
When I assasinated her in her driveway her new boyfriend aka "Billy Ray Cyrus" saw me and he was scared off his --- and ran into the house like a smart human being. I am not running to get away but I am going to make the KSP earn their money on this one. I have called and now e-mailed everyone to give them leads so when we finally meet up I will cuff up like a man or as Deputy Tim Phillips of the Simpson County Jail calls it 'being 21 about it'. FYI - I have never been armed after the encounter and there will be no chase or struggle I assure you. Finally, I love Andre' my 19 year old handsome son more than anything in this world and I hope you great things with your life. Love to Andre', my mother, my brother,------------, and all of my other friends and family. This is what the US Army has produced a Desert Storm killer and there will be more like me I assure you.

Randall Creek"

I knew Debbie. She was our den mother at work. To this day i look up sometimes and think that i see her walking by. Randall had been causing her problems for a while. He was very jealous and hated it that she had moved on with her life with an awsome man. He stalked her . People from work said that they even saw him on the road watching us out side on our 5 oclock am break and midnight breaks. HOW SICK. TO debbie, I love you with all my heart. You are no doubt one of the best women i have ever known. The day you told me about blooming into a butterfly. Now you have an even better set of wings. I will forever love you. Lydia will always see bradley. ps.i will try to hook them up when they get older just like we planned lol =) I love you Deb . Me you and miranda the three cob stuges xoxo ( I will follow your footprints in the sand)

This whole thing about "it is not your place to judge", is such BS. Of course it is our place, your place, whomevers place to judge. What he did was wrong. Not only just wrong, but evil and mean. Why in the world can we not judge? I judge the man, Randall Creek, as not fitting into normal human behavior. I judge him being unfit for society. I judge him for being violent. I judge him for killing an innocent woman. I judge him for being selfish and leaving back other peoples lives in ruins. I worked with Randall, I know he was the first to judge others, in a very harsh way. So please spare me and others not to judge. Finally, I judge the families will will not understand why this had to happen.

I have family that our vets, and they have not done what he has done. you can not blame this on the army. You choose to join the army. so don't lay blame on that. he need to grow up and stop blaming other people for his actions. He did this not the "army".

I set up Randal with his first wife..after being around him for short periods of time Randal came over as being a bully who loved being the center of attention. Randal has always had a chip on his shoulder since his own father died in the jail after a fire. I think Randal took this hate all through life with him. He would lash out at anyone who told him something he didn't want to hear. If Randal wasn't the King of Everything then he didn't want anyone around him to be happy. Angie I'm just glad you got out when you did. I know what a strong woman you are. I wish I could say everything is going to be ok but Angie if anyone can get yourself and Andre through this it's you.

First of all my thoughts and prayers are with both families during the mourning of this tragedy. I also want to say that My husband is an Irag War Veteran as well as my brother in law who served 2 tours in Iraq before being injured and it is disgraceful to put ANY of our military men in the same category as a troubled man. The Army doesn't create people like this!!! I come from a family of Army Verterans and none of them have done anything of this sort. But as I said before my thoughts and prayers are with both families during this time. I know it's hard to deal with something like this it will take time and with God's help you'll make it through.

Posted by: me Location: ky on Oct 8, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Angel, I don't believe you really knew Randall enough to talk about how he has been in the past 9 years. I am a woman - the wife of his best friend, and Debbie was a great friend to me. Everyone is still mourning the loss of Debbie. So, please EVERYONE take in consideration all the people (from both sides) this has affected and leave the negativity somewhere else. Noone needs to be seeing this stuff right now.

Posted by: Annette on Oct 8, 2008 at 07:42 AM
Thoughts and prayers go out to both families. For both are dealing with alot right now. Debbie's family will grieve for her but remember Randall's family will grieve her death as well. Their minds will not be at ease knowing that someone that they love is capable of murder. May justice prevail. One day he will meet our maker and be judged once again.

Randall never respected women the past 9 years that I knew him. He thought women were below him. He did not deserve Debbie she was a good person. His mom and his son are left to pick up the pieces and I pray that they can make it through this situation. I hope Randall gets what he deserves in prison. He has always blamed everyone else for his problems, it is time to grow up and realize he is not above the law or women.

To Al, Borrowing a Quote from Ex-Dept. Creek..."This is what the US Army has produced a Desert Storm killer and there will be more like me I assure you. Your whining that Desert Storm Vets don't get the help they need, Makes me wonder will you be "more like me" borrowing part of the quote again. Do us all a favor. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR MEDS.( I wasn't hollering... Just talking loud enough Where Al could here ME the first time!).................. Nuff Said!

Please, don't blame the Army and Desert Storm for your weak mind.

You know its said that someone who is suppose to protect us just rides up and kills someone he is suppose to protect. What does that say for our men and women who wear a police uniform. That is truly sad what happened to this woman. You know counseling is out there. Why didn't he seek it?

i think it was just awful about the deputy shooting his wife.my prayers go out to both families.

Posted by: al Location: ky on Oct 7, 2008 at 01:10 PM
my regards to both families my prayers are with you i'm a desert stoem vet. served real close to randall in combat to say he was this way when he joined is so wrong because i fight my demons everyday i have meds to help but before that i could relate to doing something like this! i just hope this opens the gov. eyes that we gulf war vets are in need of help?just so sad that something like this happens to open peoples eyes!

Posted by: Eric Location: Bowling Green on Oct 7, 2008 at 12:35 PM
First of all, I don't think this guy speaks for all Desert Storm Vets. I bet if you asked one, you would find this to be true. Second of all, he needs to get over himself.

Debbie was my best friend for 30 years. I was maid of honor in her wedding to her childrens father and she was my maid of honor in my renewed wedding vows when I had my 25th wedding anniversary. She was married to her boys father for 20 plus years and loved being married. She asked me my opinion of Randall and I told her I thought he was too much like her first husband to marry him. I am sorry I said that now because her first husband would never do something like this. All Randall ever wanted was to be a HERO. Randall, all you will be remembered for now is a cold blooded murderer. You took my best friend, a parents only child, two sons beloved mother, two grandchildrens beloved grandmother and your own only son's father. I must put you out of my mind. Debbie's family will have all my prayers. Your maker will take care of you.

I am a neighbor of Mr. Creek. He has always been very polite. I have to say that I never saw this coming! Even after the news, I just couldn't believe that he was capable of such a thing. Both Families are dealing with a great deal right now. The last thing they need, especially Andre', is to hear or read these hurtful comments towards his Dad. It's not his fault, and he has to live with this to. People who didn't know Mr. Creek see him as a psycho. He has problems yes, but it is not your place nor mine to judge him! Instead of your hurtful thoughts and comments, how about praying for him instead! My thoughts and prayers are with both families! May God be with you all...including Mr. Creek!

Posted by: Terri Location: Bowling Green on Oct 7, 2008 at 09:23 AM
My thoughts and prayers are with Debbie and her family. Debbie was a wonderful person always smiling and kind to everyone. Whoever justifies this as he did it because he loved her and didn't want to lose her is sick because when you love someone you don't want to hurt them! To gun her down was not love at all!! He will be taken care of in the end. God bless Debbies family at this time.

To Al, This doesn't show Vets are not getting the help they deserve... This man (And I use the man term lightly) chooses to use this excuse to justify his COWARDLY act. CLEARLY he is a COWARD! He made this decision all on his own. My Army has never trained me to kill unarmed women. Anything that I had to endure in the military never changed my core values or my heart and soul. My Army gave me the strength to take care of my family and always lead by example. The EVIL this COWARD has in him now was with him when he joined.

Posted by: Sharon Location: Horse Cave on Oct 7, 2008 at 08:47 AM
My thoughts are with both of these families especially the deceased. How terrible!! What did this man mean about desert storm killer and there will be more like him?? Was he just trying to pass the guilt or justify his actions?

Posted by: Krista Location: Bowling Green on Oct 7, 2008 at 08:43 AM
My husband has known Randall for many years, and we are neighbors of his. After what happened we are both shocked! It is so unreal, that it's almost unbelievable. This doesn't sound like the Randall that we've known for so many years at all. He's snapped, he's a total different person.I know it must be hard on both families dealing with this, but just be strong, everyone is praying for you!

i think that was a very wrong thing to do take a mother away from her childern and dont know how u can be sry and the army dose not make killers u make it your self its all in your head

I think it's in poor taste to print the email. at least wbko had sense enough to cut some of it out unlike the BG Daily news who printed the entire thing. Some of that information is really nobody's business. Think of the families.

Posted by: Corey Location: Bowling green on Oct 7, 2008 at 02:10 AM
I knew and worked with Debbie. I never saw her in a bad mood. She always had a smile on her face. She will be sorely missed.

Posted by: Sherry Location: Bowling Green on Oct 6, 2008 at 10:49 PM
How can you say you are sorry and you will "MAN UP" when you are found? If you were sorry you would not put your family or her family thru anything more. If you were a MAN in the first place, you would never have gunned down this defenseless woman. You are no MAN now or ever. You are a COWARD then and now. You are only thinking of yourself. Don't use the Army as your excuse for what you did, along with the list of other people you blame for your actions. Save us all the drama...The families left behind don't deserve this.

I am a cousin of Randall and was absolutely astounded by the news of this tragedy. But like Randall said in his email, "what's done is done", and I hope for his families sake and for

This man is a cold blooded women killer and I hope he's caught soon. What kind of man could do this to another human being and then "blame" is on the US army!?? This is a sick sick man. I hope he gets the "best of the best" prison treatment!

Posted by: connie Location: smith grove on Oct 6, 2008 at 07:12 PM
Debbie was a very good mother, and friend. She had alot friend. You need to find him before he hurts someone else.

Posted by: Stephanie Location: Smiths Grove, Ky on Oct 6, 2008 at 07:10 PM
I think this story is really sad for so many reasons. I live maybe 2 miles from were this happened and my husband knows this man. It scares me to think that this could happen so close to home. As far as him threatening Strode I'm not surprised because you can mess over so many people for so long before it will bite you back. My husband worked at the jail and has had a hard time finding a job since working for Strode I have to be honest I'm surprised it wasn't Strode who was gunned down. My husband also was in Dessert Storm and I think thats crab about the war causing this. The Army also teasches you respect and he obviously was off his rocker to begin with so don't blame the Army. I feel sorry for both families and will keep them both in my prayers for days to come and hope God will give them all the strength to keep going. As for Creek I cannot judge him that's God's job but to me if he was a real man he would never had shot her and realized they were over and moved on like a real man.

If former Deputy Creek claims to be a real man and unarmed he should turn his self in like a real man instead of runing and hiding like a kid playing hide and seek. Be a man give yourself up to the nearest police department

Posted by: al on Oct 6, 2008 at 06:31 PM
this shows you that desert storm vets are not getting the help they deserve!

Posted by: TiffAnn Location: Bowling Green on Oct 6, 2008 at 06:13 PM
I think it is horrible how he is blaming the US Army for his actions. What nerve. And to say that he loved her or his own son. He mus have some warped view of love. I have been through several bad breakups and while revenge may cross your minds at times when you are angry, murder is not the type of revenenge that anyone deserves. My sympathy is with the his son how horrible to be going through this and to "her" family and loved ones.

Posted by: Renee Location: Brownsville on Oct 6, 2008 at 05:42 PM
I hope no other person is hurt and that he is not harmed and turns himself in.

Posted by: Faye Location: Smiths Grove on Oct 6, 2008 at 04:22 PM
My heart & prayers go out to Debbie's family. This is such an unneccesary act of violence. My prayers are also with Mr. Creek, he has to live with what he has done. Not only to Debbie's sons & grandchildren & the rest of her family, but also to his own son & family. Now it's time to be a man & turn yourself in
