As pointed out elsewhere, she was disappeared ala Jimmy Hoffa because powerful people in the crime circle wanted to eliminate a danger to them and she had been an informant.

1986 Cold Case: Disappearance of Kimberly Ann Thompson
"Today, Petrilli and others in the Champaign Police Department are taking another look at it, hoping advancements in technology might help them determine what happened to Thompson.

“We don’t really have any particular set of suspects that we are looking at or any one particular person of interest,” Petrilli said.

Could Thompson still be alive? Petrilli said police are keeping an open mind and looking at all perspectives as they move ahead in their effort to solve the case.

“We don’t know if Kimberly is still alive, we don’t know if she was met with foul play, we don’t know if there was a tragic accident that could have occurred,” Petrilli said. “There’s a lot of possibilities. So she could have relocated and just didn’t tell anybody and has not reached out with anybody. There’s always the assumption of an accident and she just hasn’t been identified yet or foul play.”

1986 Cold Case: Disappearance of Kimberly Ann Thompson




As she grew up, Kimberly had run-ins with police for minor incidents. But, it was reported, she was determined to turn her life around with hopes of moving to California to pursue a medical career.

Thompson’s mother told Pressey in 1987 that “the day she disappeared she was on cloud nine.”

Her parents said that Thompson had learned she was nearing a settlement of between $25,000 to $35,000 in a lawsuit she had filed against an employer, for an injury she had received on the job.

The money was very important to Kimberly, as was a check she received for medical expenses. That check was never cashed.

Furthermore, she didn’t show up for her last appointment with her lawyer.

Another reason for concern: Thompson had testified as a key witness against Gary Fonville Sr. and Elijah Campbell in a drug trafficking case in which they were convicted in September 1986. They were each sentenced to seven years in prison in October 1986.

In the 1987 story, Champaign police Sgt. Mike Cook said police protected Kimberly during the trial and promised to help her relocate, but that she wasn’t ready to leave yet.

At the conclusion of the defendant's case, the State called Kim Thompson in rebuttal. She testified she lived in the apartment directly above the one rented by Thurman Fonville. Thompson stated she purchased drugs from both the defendant and his father during January and February of 1986. Specifically, Thompson related she went into the apartment to buy drugs on the night before the February 6 raid on the premises. She recalled in that transaction defendant handed the heroin to Thurman Fonville, who in turn handed it to her.

Thompson admitted she had been arrested two days prior to this trial on a charge of prostitution. She indicated no agreements had been entered regarding prosecution for that offense in return for her testimony. However, she did state she was told she would be let out on her own recognizance if she came into court and testified truthfully.
