A man is found dead lying in his bed In the quiet town of Fayette, Maine, the discovery of 60-year-old Caucasian male Everette Pease's death on December 7, 1987, unraveled a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. A neighbor found Pease, who also went by the name Red, deceased inside his secluded, pond-side camp on Campground Road. The scene that greeted investigators was unsettling and suggested that his death was not of natural causes.
Inside the camp, the television was still on, but the wood stove was cold,
indicating a lapse in daily routine. A bag of groceries, accompanied by a newspaper dated December 3, 1987, sat on a table, suggesting Pease had returned from a shopping trip days before his body was discovered. Perhaps the most chilling detail was the open window directly over the bed where he lay, a silent testament to a potential disturbance. It was evident that Pease, who lived a reclusive life, had been deceased for several days.
Maine State Police ruled the death a homicide, launching an investigation into the suspicious circumstances. Despite conducting numerous interviews, authorities were unable to generate any strong leads or identify a person of interest. The case grew cold over the years, leaving a void of answers for the community and investigators alike. To date, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly named in connection with the death of Everette Pease. The puzzling details of the scene at his camp are all that remain of the final days of his life.
