THIS STORY:
Amber Gail "Aimee" Creek was an American teenage girl from Palatine, Illinois, who was murdered in February 1997. Creek's body was found in Burlington, Wisconsin not long after she ran away from a youth shelter. Creek remained unidentified for approximately one year, and it was not until April 2014 that police arrested a suspect, James Eaton, a native of Palatine. Eaton pled guilty to a reduced charge of reckless homicide in late 2014.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

This poor girl didn't stand a chance. She was failed by everyone. Thank you for remembering this sweet child and for the touching way you told her story. Rest in Peace Amber. You are now in a beautiful place with no more pain and sorrow.
Agreed, so sad. 😢
@@violetmartha916 She sure was. Such a tragedy :(
RIP amber you may be gone but bow at least you will be remembered by all of us
People should have to have a license to have kids
You are SOO right
Once your parents give up on you, People give up on themselves. Your childhood shapes your entire life..........This was a very nice rememberence .
Amen to that my dear!
That is for sure!! And we have too many parents..mother & father who just give up on their children. I could never imagine giving up on my sons. Dear God!
Thank you for that touching video. I live in Kenosha and stopped by Amber's grave the other day. Someone placed some Easter eggs in a basket by her headstone, very kind.
Omg, the word HI written on her hand and the price tag on her. How freaking evil and disgusting.
You pay homage to these people. Some are so sad. I am glad of what you do. Forgetting a person is horrible You bring a little sunshine to them. Thank you! .
I was at her funeral. They did take her to this cemetery to be buried, so she was never at another one. It was more than a year before she was identified, and 17 years before James Eaton was identified and arrested for her murder. He was convicted, thankfully.
thanks for sharing, and nice that you went...Amber is not forgotten.
May she Rest In Peace...poor, sweet Amber
I have heard of this case. The child needed a lot of mental health care. He didn't have the money. He didn't qualify for government assistance. He was told as a last resort to surrender the girl to the police. (I believe it is under the safe haven law.) That way, DCFS will take custody and they are supposed to get the child the help they need. At some point the he can get the child back but it seems she ran off before they were able to do anything. It's not because he didn't love her. It was because he loved her and was desperate to get her help. If this country had healthcare for all she might be alive today.
Some people shouldn’t be parents,I don’t care what my kids got up to I would never give the away .RIP baby girl
The tragedy of many children victims of sexual abuse, drugs and negligence. Single mothers be careful, pedophiles don’t come for you they come for your children. This story broke my heart, gone too soon. Amber, you are safe now, no more pain, no more tears. R.I.P
Very true , they come with out labels or warranty tags !
Been there a few times used abuse and confuse plus raped ..
Only thing is , I had my Father up stairs looking out for me many of times . I had no parents to look out for me .
Rest In Peace Amber , fly high with all the Angels ! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
🙏🏻 🌹 🌹 🌹 🙏🏻
🙏🏻 ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ 🙏🏻
🙏🏻 🌹 🌹 🌹 🙏🏻
Rest in peace, Amber.
I heard about her story about 2 years ago and I was just so saddened by it, everyone failed her and she never got to live a normal life.
Amber's parents both failed her.Poor poor child...Never had a chance
Did she ever have a happy time absolutely heart breaking 💔 😢
The grave was donated by the Catholic Cemetery Association of Racine, the association owned by the Catholic parishes in Racine, Caledonia, Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant Wisconsin. Holy Family is one of four cemeteries they operate. It’s my understanding the burial was donated by a local funeral home, and once she was identified a gravestone was added. It’s my understanding the family decided to keep her at Holy Family. I can speak on this, as this is where my family plot is which my mother is buried at. You did show that in your video. The cemetery has been there since the 1850’s and was originally the parish burial yard for the former Holy Family Catholic Church which was built in the 1850’s and burned down in 1930, and subsequently absorbed by the cemetery association. The church stood in the area of the cul de sac drive. Years later another Jane Doe was also buried here and was recently identified, her body was exhumed to be reburied by her family in Illinois. Her killer is awaiting trial in Racine County and is in the Racine County Jail
thank Pete. very informative!! enlightening for me.
Thank you for that information.
Same here. Your information is highly appreciated by viewers of this channel. Thank you Faces of the forgotten as well. Your channel is very interesting in so many ways that you make me think so differently in a very profound way. I love the history of people, cemetery history, statues artwork, tombs, mausoleums, crypts, paranormal unknown explanations. People are so different its as if each person is a book of their own which makes each perspective differently in a unlimited way.
ALL l CAN SAY IS WOW‼️REST IN PEACE YOUNG LADY. SO YOUNG, SO SAD, SO TRAGIC.✝️🛐☮️💜👼👼👼👼👼👼👼👼🌹.
So very heartbreaking! Died never having lived.
It's like she never had a chance... Her innocence was robbed.. tortured... RIP angel Amber
This poor baby never got to live a day in her life when you look closer into this case, her parents who should have protected her failed her inside out, rip pretty angel
This one made my stomach hurt. I was a young mother in Schaumburg, working in Rolling Meadows and Palatine when Amber would have been a very young child, and I would have wanted to give her a loving home. RIP Amber. 😪
As for Amber's father, he probably didn't know what to do or where to go if there even were easily accessible agencies to turn to for help. As a previous community services worker I have heard of this so many times its heart breaking. There just isn't enough resources out there to help & in many circumstances such as badly rebelling teens, children with disability etc many parents are forced to relinquish their parental rights & hand their children over to become wards of the state to be able to get the help they need or to try to get that help because the governments wont help unless the child is a ward of the state. It's an awful situation to put parents in, but sometimes the parents are burned out, can't cope, their children desperately need more help than they can access, parents shouldn't be put in that position.
The changes start with the GOVERNMENT, they hold the power to make the changes, complaints & petitions need to go to them not the small local agencies.
I am very passionate about advocating & empowering people to get the services they need within their communities.
I'm late to this, but what a beautiful child. She deserved parents who absolutely adored her. You're a better person than me, Ron, because I do blame her parents as well. And where where the grandparents? Aunts? Uncles? No family? This is profoundly said. May this beautiful soul rest in peace.
This was such a well done video. I grew up in Burlington, near Karcher Park, and this happened when I was 7 years old. Ot has been a case that had always haunted me. I knew of most of the details before the video, including the conviction of the killer. The way you spoke about Amber and literally said she deserved better just made my heart swell. I didn't have a good family and eventually moved out when I was in high school. Amber was exploited based on her situation. This is so common among people who have no support in their lives - at zero fault of the victim. I no longer live in Wisconsin because of how the state handled my case and just left me to fend for myself. But I feel so connected to this case on multiple levels despite never actually knowing or meeting Amber. I encourage anyone who knows someone who doesn't have anyone to make an effort to share apart of your life with them. This world needs more good people to make that step, because for every good step that doesn't get taken, their are countless bad ones that do. There are more Amber Creek's in the world than we know. Again, very tasteful video and great information with dedicated respect to the video. Thank you.
The flash/ light reflection at 1:29 off her gravestone … like to think it was Amber saying “I’m ok now, I’m in a better place”❤️
Yes
What a sad story with a sad ending - so many stories like that. It all starts with parents who should not be parents. And it goes on and on. Unhappiness breeds unhappiness. Well, the parents will live with that memory of failure the rest of their lives. 😢
Her parents fed her to the lions. They knew she was vulnerable and an easy prey and still turned their heads the other way. There should be a sentence for bad parenting too in cases like these.
I agree, this is so heartbreaking
I see your point about how close she is to the road. IDK if it’s any cheaper there or not. We buried my grandma near the road and not in the same cemetery with her husband who had been killed in the coal mine in the 50s (even though her name is on that stone too) so my uncle who is in a wheelchair could get to the grave. Not something you would necessarily think about unless you needed to.
Hello my friend...My name is Willem and live in the Netherlands... I just fond your CZcams channel because somebody shared this video of "Amy" in one of our groups... That made my interesting in your channel.. together with my wife I watched a few of your videos... great man... fantastic... keep on going and coming with more stories... in a few minutes I go to a cemetery to... I take care of a few graves myself... I you want I can tell you more... 🖤☻💖
Chico Arachnea ~ thank you, glad you guys liked the channel. That inspires me to make more, and even better stuff is upcoming. Stay tuned!
Stories from the Netherlands 👍
I believe u came 2 USA on international
Exchange program many yes ago..
My mom lives there! Well not in the cemetery but Caledonia. Lol
I remember this when it was on the news. I'm so glad they caught the bastard that did this!
Well, I know from personal experience about mothers who are addicts, or alcoholics. They have no conscience when it comes to their selfish neglect of bringing up children, rather their choice is the drug.
Hope whoever is found guilty of this crime gets the death sentence.
I am trying to raise my grandchildren and this girl sounds like my grandchildren. I never thought about dropping her off and leaving her. I love ❤ her too much. Amber is loved by the greatest person ever and that is JESUS.
😢 so so sad. She's in heaven now with Jesus walking on streets of gold 💔.RIP
Great videos, keep up the good work 💪🇬🇧
I worked several years for Children and Family Services here in Washington state. I can tell you that the whole system is a miserable failure.Their utter failure, in 2012, to protect two little boys (they were in the care of their maternal grandparents; their father had murdered their mother and both the father and HIS father had been sexually abusing those children) resulted in those two little boys being horribly murdered by their father. This happened not far from my house. The little boys were buried together, in the same casket, and a plot next to theirs is reserved for their mother, if her remains are ever found. If you want to learn more about the case, read "If I Can't Have You", by Gregg Olsen. We take flowers out to the little boys, and Christmas trees. Their resting place is just a few miles away. That case still tears me up. A lot.
This is such a sad story. Stories like this make me so grateful for the parents I had. Structure, discipline and love can make all the difference. It would have been so easy for me to become another Amber if I wasn't blessed by two angels that got sent my way. RIP Amber. I'm so sorry 😥
So dam heartbreaking. ..R.I.P sweetheart you'll be missed forever
Such a sad story. I have a question. Do you take a small token or flower with you and leave it at the graves you visit. I have started visiting graves in my area of Florida and when I visit I leave an inexpensive fake flower. It makes me feel good to know that the person has something on their grave that shows that they were remembered.
POOR AMBER, HER PARENTS COULDNT SAVE THIS LIL CHILD? AND THE SO CALLED "SYSTEM" FAILED THIS CHILD, SHE WAS LOST LIKE A LAMB WHO LOST THEIR FLOCK, HOW HORRIBLE AND SAD , RIP LIL ANGEL , YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD 🙏😥💔
Be angry at her parents failure, but also be angry that these therapy places have the nerve to charge 50 grand to help a child.
Poor child bless her soul 🙏😭
Rest easy sweet girl💗
You are a story teller...always finding interesting stories 🙏🏻👍🇵🇷
You do a fantastic job in the videos 😉
What a tragic story I hope whoever was responsible rots in hell. RIP Amber 💜
How the hell do you give them the wrong picture 😠😠 seriously
right???!!!!!!! ugg, I was so mad when I researched that part. its times like that when I want TO SHOW THEIR PICTURE!
So very very sad.She never had a chance
Rest in peace sweet girl. So sad so many people let her down. God Bless.
"We're in".. Thank you Ron... You are awesome.
Poor little Amber. So vulnerable, so abused, so neglected before the brutal end. Hope that you are bathed in divine light and love throughout eternity.
Very well said.
I live in Illinois and just like lost states, DCFS is a joke.
Very interesting thankyou we should never forget
Thanks for being so kind to these people
I just sub to you channel, I find your stories very interesting, keep up the good work.....Mary in 🇨🇦
So very sad!
That is very sad story all around. It is so great, that you are out there telling these people's stories. Thank you. I find your channel so very interesting. I can not stop watching. I get so excited when you upload a new one.
It’s ridiculous the cost of the therapy program was $50,000!!! That makes me so angry. So many people go without, and fall on hard times because they just don’t get the help they need due to finances.
RIP.
Heartbreaking 💔
Sir, you should think about making/selling some merchandise with Face of The Forgotten and "We're In" on them. I think we as subscribers and you would win bigtime
maybe at some point. BUT THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, "WE 'RE IN" people seem to like that when I say that. funny, I just said it at the beginning because it feels like you are entering another world, a kingdom. thanks, I'll take your advise to heart!!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten You really do the very best informative and entertaining videos and bringing life to history as one subscriber said is spot on. Keep up the great work...I need to road trip up there and go on a Faces of the Forgotten excursion with you ha and you keep on with your WE'RE IN's...we love em
Wow that is so sad.
Poor girl, she's out of it now.Rest in peace girl.x
Extremely interesting!
I just now found this one...brings back lots of feelings of helplessness for me. I know that our children are highly neglected by our State governments. I was a foster Mother for 10yrs and so many of these kids are soooo damaged by the age of 10 or so that the services they Need to break through the walls of their trauma are not accessible to them by the State and they are lost forever. My heart breaks for Amber.....none of this was her fault. What kind of decisions does a traumatized 14yr old make? My point exactly. The powers that be are comprised of the "Professionals" in their fields yet these kids continue to be the victims of the System. I'm not surprised that her Father wasn't arrested on the spot for child abandonment....I have to give him credit for trying. He didn't raise her or support her while she was growing up but he did take her in and did the best he knew how to do....again, he wasn't given any supports from the State to ensure his daughter had all the services she needed and if that included a lock-down facility then so be it. Ok, now my Rant is over and I feel better. Thanks for letting me vent RIP Amber.
good summary Sandy, good rant. 👍
OMG 💔😥 and the way she was left to be found😡🤬
Sorry for What Happened to
Amber 😢😭
REST IN PEACE 🙏
❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️💐
Hi Ron. Thanks for the videos I love travelling around the Americas witu you. Awesome videos
Poor Amber. She just never had a chance. Rest in peace sweetheart 💔
Pretty Girl, So Sad. Thank you for remembering her.😢🙏🏼❤️
I am always amazed at how wonderful people are when a Jane or John Doe dies in their community and the police are often terrifically generous. People go to the funeral, pay for the funeral, flowers and marker and take care of the grave over the years.
New subscriber, thank you for providing us with thoughtful and interesting content.
Rest in peace sweet girl
So sad she never had a change at all...Im sure her mommy is suffering for the rest of her life since it started with her..and Daddy who yeah he gave up on her.is also dealing with the guilt...the system failed her for sure.
Sweet girl R.I.P. Amber....
This is heartbreaking this social workers are make it worse.. my question the guy go to prison?
I grew-up in Arlington Hts and spent time in those towns as well as Woodfield. Amber’s story really hits home! Thanks for telling it.
I’m reminded of another story you might want to tell. The Browns Chicken Massacre in Palatine.
Such a sad situation where she was just born into a life she didn't choose. Sometimes you can't control your life because even the best of people can suffer terrible things in their life. RIP Amber.
RIP to Amber!
Very sad.
Well Ron I find myself not being able to sleep so I decided to binge watch your videos and share of course
I can’t blame her father. If you haven’t been through something like this, well it’s just unimaginable. My granddaughter has just about killed me for 10 years. Right now I’m in bed because she’s out somewhere needing help to fix her car. She’s slept in car for five nights now. She doesn’t live here. About six hours away. She worries me everyday of my life to the point that I don’t care if she goes to jail or not. The emotional stress is enough to make me not want to wake up everyday. So tonight please say a prayer for her and for me to get some peace. Nobody could do more than I have to help her. Amber’s molester and her dear mother should be in prison. Kudos to her father for trying as hard as he did. Actually sometimes you do have to give up. God bless everyone who’s going through this with a loved one. Hardest thing on earth to deal with. There is NO help, just faith in God that someday things will change 😢. God bless the addict and their family because they all pay the price.
Faith in God, hang in there.
Poor girl😪
This is so sad but some children are born into the wrong families & are destined for this or prison to happen to them because of their parents or family & they don't stand a fighting chance, what a tragedy
Rest In Pearce Amber
Such a sad story. She will be in my prayers
Sweet girl. We are still thinking of you in 2020. Many people will hopefully learn from their mistakes....
Poor girl was dealt one shitty card after another. Very sad.
What you’re doing is very awesome I think it’s very awesome that you’re doing this for people going to gravesites is very awesome
May Amber find peace. She's buried in a beautiful spot. Although I grew up in a little town called Newton Falls, Ohio, I used to do a lot of hitchhiking around the midwest back in the '60s, and Wisconsin was always my favorite. The people there were so friendly and nice, many Swedes and northern Europeans. A couple of times I got invited home to the farm for a home-cooked meal. There's so many trees and it's really green. I never could figure out why they called part of it "upper Michigan" when it was connected to Wisconsin?
Aww. She was a pretty gal. RIP
Sadly she is not the only child before or since who has had to live under horrific circumstances. Happy she is in a better place. 😢 Thank you for the sensitivity with which you tell these sad stories. ❤️
Lake Michigan!!! Yay 😍
You were by me . Should of stopped by for coffee. Or to race that Hellcat!! Lol very good job here. Loved it 😊
“Racine” - French word - the accent is on second syllable, so not pronounced like “racing” - can always tell someone from out of town by that pronunciation. Thanks for the video!
I'm from Chicaaaaaaago :-)
I'm from Racine
Locals call it “Ruh scene”
How can a parent just drop her off at the police station like that horrible. May she rest in peace. And I hope that scumbag gets his in prison.
So Dam Heartbreaking. It makes me sick. She just didn't hav ed a chance at life. God Bless Her SOUL.
I remember this in the news.....
If Amber was buried as a ward of the state, they are always going to do the burial as cheaply as possible. If done by private citizens, and/or public donations, it too will be done as economically as possible. That means the cheapest casket, the bare minimum service, burial plot, etc. It’s sad, but true.
Rip amber
RIP Amber Gail Creek 💐 💕 🌹 🕊 🌷
rip amber
So sad for her. Rest in the arms of Jesus sweet one.
You are such a beautiful man to do what you do..may nothing but happiness follow you.
💔
I hope they catch the other culprits. What evil people to do that to a young girl. May they never have a moments peace.
This poor girl did not deserve what happened to her. I hope her mother was locked up and will never see the out side again. RIP sweet Angel❤😢
Good evening to all, 🥰🥰🥰
Poor girl 15 yrs old.....RIP angel....🙏🙏
