A missing Fox executive who is presumed to have been killed was in a relationship with the wife of a convicted drug dealer who is a person of interest in the case, Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said.
Gavin Smith, who has been missing for 10 months, met Chandrika Creech in drug rehab, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Dave Dolson.
Chandrika Creech is the wife of John Creech, an admitted drug dealer who is currently in jail on a drug charge and has been named as a "person of interest" in Smith's disappearance. Creech has not been charged in connection with the Smith case as it remains an active investigation, officials said.
"There was a relationship and we’ll just leave it at that," Dolson said during a Thursday afternoon press conference announcing that the case is a homicide although Smith's body has not been found.
The discovery of Smith's Mercedes led police to reclassify the case as a homicide and link it to Creech, officials said. Dolson said a close associate led deputies to a storage locker linked to Creech.
Smith's black Mercedes Benz 420E was recovered at a storage facility in Simi Valley on Feb. 21.
Smith, 57, was last seen driving the car from a friend's home in the Oak Park area at the western end of Los Angeles on May 1 between 9 and 10 p.m.
Investigators believe Smith was killed within a week of his disappearance.
Smith's widow Lisa released a statement on Thursday, thanking deputies for the hard work they've done on the case.
"We are both saddened and heartened by the discovery of this crucial evidence, and know that the sheriff's department will help us acquire a measure of justice," Lisa Smith said.

Note to self, don't date the wife of a drug dealer especially if the husband is Cheech.
It's hard to believe a Fox insider could spin his moral compass.
Charged with SUI: Seduction Under the Influence
Fatal Attraction....
How did he manage to keep his position as an executive with Fox, with their "high moral standards" after a drug conviction. Another Rush Limpdick.
Fox is different than Fox News:
Per Wikipedia: Gavin Smith was formerly an executive in charge of distribution for 20th Century Fox.
Why do some people always have to throw in a totally unrelated politically jab?
be lib as you can cheat, lie, con and corrupt all you want! Is that what you're saying Johnny boy? I guess libs don't want anyone else edging in on their scum turf.
Mistake # 1. Getting addicted to drugs
Mistake # 2. Dating the wife of a convicted drug dealer
He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, was he?
If you knew Gavin at UCLA, you knew he was a magnet for trouble.
Still, no one deserves to be murdered....except, of course, bin Laden.
Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man.
That story is total BS. I kicked that guy's skinny azz all over that bar!
Eureka he found Chandrika.
What an idiot who in their right mind would fuxx the wife of a drug dealer. I know the answer, a blond hair white dude that looks like a surfer not a fighter. He is probably next to jimmy hoffa at this moment. By the way who cares if this moron is alive or dead. His wife probably cannot wait until he is pronounced dead so she could collect the life insurance.
Just a thought, but any woman named "Chandrika" is probably trouble...just sayin.....
Fate or destiny?
For his sake, I hope he's dead. It's either that or he's still being tortured.
Unfair and unbalanced
After meeting her in rehab, the news exec pursued a "fair and balanced" relationship with Chandrika, but it ended up being too extreme.
Fox Executive taps foot under stall. No wait. Taps wife of Traficante. Boom.
Hey, Hollywood ----- This could be made into a great movie, titled "You stray, YOU PAY !" There is no doubt an endless supply of qualified actors who could play the roles of the participants. This should serve as a lesson to ANY SPOUSE who strays from a marital relationship. Mrs. Creech might want to tighten up her circle of friends and acquaintances as well. What a sad reflection of how low our society is sinking. We are no longer so much an affluent society as much as we have become an EFFLUENT society. Perhaps Islam does have some positive aspects to it which the West may want to consider adapting; mainly in the area of swift and sure punishment.
Have the feeling we will be hearing more about Mrs. Creech
I watch Discovery ID! That's enough warning for me to stay faithful LOL!
i hope they find him dead that is what on gets for f@#$ another s mans wife i''m not married and there are plenty of singles out there but doing this kind of this very wrong its to bad the wife wasn't with him in the hole. we need to hold people accountable for their actions
Cuz rehab relationships scream of success!! Hahaha! That idiot got what he deserved, married and banging a drug dealer's wife, wow, it can only happen to a God fearing FOX exec.
Let's see what the Drug Dealers wife looks like.
One can only guess she shops at the same store MOOCHELLE does.
