Murder Suspect Surveys Crime Scene as Investigators Work

This is a fascinating video of a murder suspect, who is watching nearby as crime scene investigators do their work at the scene of a double homicide Monday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  A couple out walking their dogs on Monday morning came across the bodies of two young joggers dead in the park–shot execution style in the head.  The two victims were Ethan Nichols, 21, and his girlfriend, Carissa Horton, 18.

A news reporter happened to interview Darren Price at the scene.  When I watch him talk, I find it interesting how he says, “I think it’s real crazy. I bring my kids out here to play. Got to raise the question, is it safe to even walk around this town with people just dying and stuff? It’s not cool.”

Notice the sanitation of situation by the use of the word “dying”?  Most people who come across a double homicide would not say that people are “dying”, but people who commit violent crimes often try to sanitize what they’ve done as well as try to distance themselves the act.  It’s a lot easier to say “dying” instead of “murder” when you were the one who committed it.

After the crime, Price drove Nichols car to an apartment complex, where police later found it.  They set up surveillance and watched Price get into the car and drive it off.   Fox 23.com reports that Price later confessed. You can read more here.
