## Resource

The Brother's Axe: Four Bodies Never Found On July 5, 1996, Everett Thompson ended a call with his father to go rescue his wife and children from a threat involving an axe. No one saw him again, and the family home appeared emptied, as if four people had suddenly ceased to exist. What happened in Chicago with the Thompson family? In this episode, we analyze the disappearance of Everett Thompson, his wife Lydia, and their children Everett Jr. and Andrew, whose bodies were never found. We explore the complex family dynamics and the tensions that preceded the mysterious disappearance. Case: Disappearance of the Thompson family Date: July 1996 Location: Chicago Missing persons: Everett Thompson, Lydia Thompson, Everett Jr. Thompson, Andrew Thompson Suspect: Kenneth (Lydia's brother) - On July 3, 1996, Lydia Thompson called the Chicago police reporting that her brother Kenneth was chasing her with an axe. - On July 5, 1996, Everett Thompson received a call from Lydia saying that Kenneth was threatening them again with an axe, and that they were locked in a closet. - On July 10, Kenneth sold the family truck with a receipt signed as "Everett Thompson," a signature that Everett's father denied was his son's. - Lydia and Kenneth's aunt had a key to the property and had supposedly received letters from Kenneth while in prison threatening to kill Lydia. - The Thompson family home was found completely emptied, with no furniture or signs of life.
