Christopher Creek, 52, entered a not-guilty plea at his June 25th arraignment in San Diego Superior Court for the 1999 strangulation murder of Diane Ayres in Balboa Park. Creek was extradited from Georgia on June 23rd, where he had been incarcerated at Dodge State Prison in Chester on an unrelated offense when a San Diego warrant caught up with him. He is currently held on no bail. If convicted of first-degree murder, he faces 25 years to life.
The prosecution's case rests on DNA evidence developed by the SDPD Crime Laboratory, which confirmed in October 2025 that Creek's DNA matched samples recovered from three distinct locations: Ayres' sock, a vaginal swab, and her left breast. The fact that those samples remained recoverable and matchable in 2025 from a 1999 crime scene reflects both the durability of the original evidence preservation and advances in forensic DNA technology. The not-guilty plea sets the case on a path toward trial, which the defense is expected to contest. Creek's arraignment closes a loop that Ayres' family has waited more than two and a half decades to see.
Separately, the full enforcement report from the May 29th and 30th Hells Angels Southrun operation was publicly released by the San Diego Police Department on June 22nd. More than 200 Hells Angels members entered San Diego County during the two-day period. Law enforcement recorded 140 police contacts, issued 64 citations, made four misdemeanor arrests and 20 felony arrests, and seized 14 firearms. Multiple subjects were found carrying loaded firearms, knives, and hammers. One subject fled at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour through Lakeside and Alpine before being apprehended. The operation involved SDPD, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, El Cajon Police Department, and the California Highway Patrol — a coordinated multi-agency mobilization that reflected advance intelligence on the event.
