The Serial Killer Who Survived His Own Execution — 50 Years on Death Row | Thomas Creech

He was linked to murders across three states. He spent decades on death row. And when Idaho attempted to execute him in 2024, the procedure didn’t go the way anyone imagined. What happened inside that chamber shocked even veteran officers—exposing a failure the state would spend months trying to explain. The failure inside that chamber set off a chain of events still unfolding today—raising questions Idaho never wanted asked.

This video covers Creech’s early life, his violent crimes across the western United States, the 1981 prison murder that placed him on death row, and the decades of legal battles that followed. It also examines the failed 2024 execution attempt, where medical staff were unable to establish an IV line after nearly an hour of repeated attempts—making Creech one of the very few inmates in U.S. history to survive an official execution procedure.
