Craig Price's story
Editor's note: Craig Price was 15 when he confessed in 1989 to the brutal murders of four people in his Warwick neighborhood. He has been in jail ever since, and he could remain locked up until 2022, when he will be 48. This series provides the first comprehensive account of his crimes, his incarceration, and his life in prison. We would caution readers, especially parents, that some of the content is difficult.

'Into the world'

He was the youngest member of an intact, working family on its own little squared- off parcel of America, with a driveway, a bit of lawn and a garden shed out back. As he grew into adolescence, the rage inside him was building.

'This dark deed'
It was the crime that shocked Rhode Island: a mother and her two school-age daughters, brutally slain in their ranch-style house. A crowd gathered outside, drawn by the rumors of another murder in the quiet neighborhood. Investigators videotaped the spectators, in case the killer might be among them. He was.
'Flame of hope'

Though the law at the time of the murders did not allow Craig Price to be locked up forever, the state has found ways to keep him incarcerated for a long time. Time to hope for his freedom, time to ponder his crimes. So what about remorse? It's what everyone wants to know. Does Craig Price have any?
