The News of his body being found is being more widely reported now, so I’m assuming it’s true.

https://news.co.cr/us-expat-and-sportsbook-owner-5dimes-tony-aka-william-sean-creighton-body-has-been-found-in-costa-rica/76844/



The last paragraph of the article above implies his wife may have some kind of complicity in his death.

Quote:

Today Creighton’s body was found, and as per our sources the strong suspicion is that he was a victim of a kidnap- for- hire scheme hatched by someone very close to him. Cause of death is yet to be established. Creighton’s wife allegedly had the ransom money wired to a family member of hers, reportedly the lesser $750,000 request.
The OIJ will be investigating further, and report their conclusions in the coming week. Fellow sportsbook operation owners in Costa Rica have expressed their sadness and regret at Creighton’s tragic death.



Should be an interesting investigation. RIP.

FWIW on sourcing, there may be a wider circle of reporting, but this is the same CR news source on both stories cited in this thread. Guessing it's probably correct, though, or the authorities might have had them pull the story, and it's still up.

RIP Tony. You were one of the smartest and most interesting people I have ever met. I will write more later when I'm better composed.

This is the second friend of mine, after Mia Banks, this year who has been murdered.

My condolences to his family and those that knew him.

We have contacted 5Dimes for a statement, apparently some of the news reports were not true. His body wasnt found and seems no ransom asked either. Hes still missing it seems.
