A missing Fox executive who is presumed to have been killed was in a relationship with the wife of a convicted drug dealer who is a person of interest in the case, Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said.

Gavin Smith, who has been missing for 10 months, met Chandrika Creech in drug rehab, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Dave Dolson.

Chandrika Creech is the wife of John Creech, an admitted drug dealer who is currently in jail on a drug charge and has been named as a "person of interest" in Smith's disappearance. Creech has not been charged in connection with the Smith case as it remains an active investigation, officials said.
