Gruesome Murder of John Price Pt.2

 

On the morning of March 1, 2000, Price’s neighbor was concerned because his van was still in the driveway. Price did not arrive at work therefore his employer sent another coworker over to his residence to check on him. Price’s neighbor and coworker went to his house and knocked on the window of his bedroom, but they could not get ahold of him, so they decided to call the authorities. The authorities broke down the back door of the house to get in and what they found was shocking. Knight was found on the floor beside Price’s body. There was blood on the walls and in Price’s bedroom, according to the police and Price’s autopsy he was stabbed 37 times altogether from the front and back puncturing major organs. He tried to escape but Knight chased him down and eventually, he bled to death in the hallway. Knight went into Aberdeen and withdrew $1,000 from Price’s account through an ATM before the authorities found her and Price. Knight had skinned Price’s body with butcher tools from her job and hung the skin from a meat hook on the architrave of a door to the living room. She also decapitated him and cooked parts of his body. She served his body with vegetables, gravy, and a baked potato. His head was found in a pot that was still warm indicating that this happened early in the morning. Knight was planning to serve Price’s body to his two children because, on the table in the kitchen, their names were on name cards. There was a third plate made and it is speculated that Knight attempted to eat it.
