The U.S. businessman was last seen September 24 after his vehicle had been intercepted by armed individuals. The perpetrators later demanded a near $1 million in ransom from Creighton's wife, who paid it in Bitcoin without first notifying authorities. Twelve individuals were arrested in Costa Rica and Spain on Friday. The backyard of one of these individuals was later dug up in an effort to locate Creighton's body.

Nearly a dozen perpetrators tied to the kidnapping were later apprehended, some of them extradited back to Costa Rica from Spain.

Good Morning America and ABC News contacted Gambling911.com late last year to advise they would feature a segment on this story Sunday morning.

CNN began reporting on the matter almost immediately.

Gambling911.com reached out to the editors of all West Virginia papers with no response back.
