What is the true story behind Jeepers Creepers?

Jeepers Creepers is not a direct retelling but was significantly inspired by the 1990 true crime case of Dennis DePue, a Michigan man who murdered his wife and disposed of her body, a story famously featured on Unsolved Mysteries, with the film's chilling opening mirroring the eyewitness accounts of DePue dumping a bloody sheet. While the supernatural, flesh-eating "Creeper" monster is fictional, director Victor Salva borrowed heavily from the real-life terror of DePue's crime and the couple who witnessed it, Ray and Marie Thornton, for the film's initial sequence, blending human horror with mythology.
