Thomas Lockyear

Join Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear for a riveting program that delves into the dark and gripping history of murders in the Everglades.

Among the region’s most poignant and captivating tales are those that recount cold-blooded killings—and historically the Everglades area has more than its share. From frontier justice meted out by pioneer posses to homicide for hire on the outskirts of Homestead, this captivating presentation unveils the chilling history that lurks beneath the Everglades’ serene surface.

Featured in Lockyear’s deadly accounts from the Museum of the Everglades’ archives are the murder of game warden Guy Bradley, the tragic demise of Jack Tigertail, and the infamous killing of outlaw Edgar Watson.
