Thompson played on Northbrook s Junior Varsity basketball team last year. His teammates and friends are shocked. He is a nice person, kind, smart, funny. I tell you, you just can t believe that it is Mike. Someone else, but not Mike, said teammate, Dwight Richardson.
Police are just as baffled.
They did not find a weapon, but his baseball glove and tennis shoes were found next to him. No other personal items were found. No one knows how he ended up at the softball field. Copyright 2001 Belo Interactive Inc., All Rights Reserved.
