She made breakfast. Kissed her kids goodbye. And by 9am, she was fighting for her life.

In this chilling episode of Crime Clueless, we take you back to a quiet Minnesota neighborhood in 1963—where one mother’s morning routine turned into a brutal crime scene. Carol Thompson had no idea what waited for her inside the walls of her own home. And neither did anyone else.

What started as a violent break-in quickly unraveled into something far more twisted. A tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and a plan so cold it still sends shivers six decades later.

Was it random?
Was it personal?
And how do you survive when the person you trust most might be the one writing your final chapter?

This is the story of Carol Thompson—and it’s one you won’t forget.
