case details:
Price was last seen at approximately 8:00 p.m. after being dropped off by his brother at his condominium in the 100 block of Lanai Village in Diamondhead, Mississippi. The following day, Price’s brothers became alarmed when he did not respond to messages and missed a doctor’s appointment he was supposed to attend with his brother. They went to do a welfare check and found both of his vehicles in the driveway. They found nothing to be out of place except his bed being unmade which was uncharacteristic of Price as he was very tidy and would have made it when he got out of bed.
Price had recently moved to the area after the death of his wife. The only people he knew and really spent time with were his brothers. They knew when they were unable to locate him inside of his residence that he had probably not left with anyone and called law enforcement. The crime lab came out and processed Price’s condo for evidence. A small trace of blood was found but it is unclear if it relates to Price’s disappearance.
On the day Price went missing, he wrote two separate checks totaling $3,000. The relationship between the men or how then knew one another is unknown. In October of 2004, Frank Roberts, another older male disappeared and was found four days. He had been murdered. Roberts’ wife states that a man came to her home and told her husband that he would repay a loan he owed him on the following day. On the day the men were supposed to meet, Roberts left his home and never returned. Later, a ransom call was made to the Roberts home. Mrs. Roberts called authorities immediately and the Federal Bureau of Investigation became involved. They were able to find that Roberts’ credit card had been used at a car wash after his disappearance. They were able to identify the male using it as John Paul Necaise. He is the same man suspected in the disappearance of Price. Necaise was found guilty of capital murder in the case of Frank Roberts’. He attempted to commit suicide in the courthouse holding cell. He was hospitalized and removed from life support the following day.
Price’s body has never been located and his case remains unsolved at this time.
