The
opening scenes of Jeepers Creepers (2001) bear an uncanny resemblance to an episode of the TV
show Unsolved Mysteries that focused
on the case of Dennis DePue – a Michigan resident who murdered his wife and
dumped her body behind an abandoned schoolhouse. A couple, Ray and Marie
Thornton, were driving by when they witnesses DePue with a bloody sheet acting
suspiciously and a few minutes later they found themselves being pursued by him
in his vehicle. After taking a turning off the road the couple decided to go
back to the schoolhouse to investigate and discovered the bloody sheet partially
stuffed into an animal hole. DePue was only tracked down once the Unsolved Mysteries episode aired but he
committed suicide before the police could capture him.
