Everett was last seen leaving his residence in the 3900 block of Arelia Drive in Delray Beach, Florida at approximately 12:30 p.m. on December 9, 2004, after he had a disagreement with his son. He may have been carrying a .22 caliber gun at the time of his disappearance. He has never been heard from again.

Everett was retired in 2004. He may have left of his own accord. He had little money and no credit cards with him when he disappeared, and there has not been any activity on his bank accounts or cellular phone since he was last seen. His case remains unsolved.
