Portrayed by Unknown
Episode World's End
Status Deceased (c. 1954)

Crick was the fiancé of Penny Centavo in 1938. They met at the Pallomar Ballroom, where Penny was working as a taxi dancer.

Unfortunately, Crick had a violent streak. His first wife divorced him because he was physically abusive. Crick wanted Penny to sell herself for money. When she refused, he beat and strangled her. This incident left Penny resentful about her friend Audrey Metz's relationship with Will Paige, and led to her telling Audrey a secret about Will.

Despite Crick's attack, he and Penny married in 1939 and were together for 15 years before he died of cancer in 1954.

When Audrey's remains were found in 2007 and she was revealed to have been strangled to death, Crick was briefly a suspect after detectives learned how he had strangled Penny.
