Craig Price

"I'm going to make story."

Craig Chandler Price a.k.a. "The Warwick Slasher" is an American serial killer who gained notoerity for commiting his first murder when he was only 13 years old.

Backstory
Price's childhood and adolescence were filled with crimes, such as: robbery, stalking, use of drugs and violent fights, on most occasions, with his own family members. At some point in his life, he joined a gang of juvenille delinquents and started to blurgarize houses with his new friends.

Murders, Arrest and Incarceration
Price claimed his first victim on July 27, 1987, he was only 13 at time. Late at night, he broke into his neighborn's house, Rebecca Spencer, took a knife from her kitchen and brutally stabbed her 58 times. The brutality of the murder shocked the entire neighbornhood but despite efforts, her murder was considered unsolved. Two years later, high on LSD, Price again broke into another house from his neighborhood, the Heaton Family house. But this time, Craig was even more brutal than before, he took a kitchen knife just like his previous murder and stabbed the mother, Joan Heaton, 57 times, before killing her daughter, Jennifer, stabbing her 62 times. After killing the mother and the daughter, Price brutally killed Jennifer's younger sister, Melissa, by crushing her skull while she was still alive, what Price didn't notice is that he had cut himself with the kitchen knife. The FBI was called to investigate the murders due to the similiarities between the Heaton family's death and Rebecca Spencer's murder. It was later confirmed that a serial killer was on the loose. A detective noticed that Price had a cut on his hand and remembered the fact that the killer had cut himself when butchering his previous victims, and so on, Craig was seen as the prime suspect. After failing a lie-detector test, a search warrant was requested and in his house, police found all the evidence they were looking for: bloody knives and bloody clothing. He was subsequently interrogated about the murders and confessed his crimes. Family and investigators were shocked to discover how brutal Price was and his lack of remorse, even mimicking the dying sounds of the girls he had killed. Unfortunately for the detectives and investigators, Price would never face trial or prison, so he was sent to the maximum-security detention know as the Rhode Island Training School's Youth Correctional Center. There, he refused to discuss about the murders and refused treatment, despite this, he had mostly good behavior. On October 3, 1994, Price's had finally come and during cross-examination, he bursted into rage and claimed that everyone was lying to keep him locked up, this caused the end of the trial. He was eventually sentenced to 15 years. On February 1996, Craig was involved in a prison fight with another inmate, he bit a guard when the latter tried to break up the fight, Price was found guilty of assault and sentenced to one more year, two years later, on October 1998, Price again assaulted an officer and repeated the same offence on February 1999 and October 2001. This caused him to be sentenced to four more years. If not given anymore additional years, Price is set to be released in February 2022.

Modus Operandi
All of his victims were his own neighbors. Price would break into their houses and stab them to death with their own kitchen knives. Price would stab them so deeply and so violently that the knives would eventually break. His victims' corpses would be left totally butchered and in a massive pool of blood. His first victim, Rebecca Spencer, was stalked by him before her murder. Unlike the rest, his last known victim, Melissa Heaton, had her skull crushed.
