Craig Price
 

 

 

The youngest serial killer of the Archives, Craig was known as the "Slasher of Warwick" after a brutal series of killings in Rhode Island in the late 1980s. Craig, a black youth from a lower middle class working family, is believed to have committed his first murder when he was only 14-years-old. The victim was a white female from his neighborhood, whom he "peeped" on dozens of occasions. He stabbed her to death with one of her kitchen knives after breaking in.

The murder went unsolved until a few months after Craig's second killing frenzy which took place almost 2 years later, when he was 16. The victims were two white females in his neighborhood. The slashings were so similar that the FBI was called in to profile a serial killer. They failed to finger a 16 year old black male, and it took an observant detective, who noticed Craig with a big cut on his hand, too crack the case. He admitted to committing the murders without any persuasion, and according to the FBI goes down in history as the youngest serial killer in US history.
