Sorry it is right on the time I found out about the contest day before yesterday.
To the committed reader of Mohawkea Times I present a rather disturbing story to you. There hasn’t been a murder in 25 years. Not since the affair of Milo and Johnny Frost.
On Friday March 6, 2015 Mrs. Price was arrested for the alleged murder of her husband of 20 years. The police got a disturbing call from the alleged suspect’s 19 year old son, Tristen.
Once the police arrived they found Mr. Price in the pond beaten and a bloody rake thrown in the pond with him. Mrs. Price was found in the bathroom attempting suicide when the police arrived. Mrs. Price was then taken to Mohawkea Medical Hospital. Until the pending court date Mrs. Price will be staying at Mohawkea Psychiatric Facility where she will get treatment.
While in an interview with her Gynecologist Dr. Lynch he tells me about her life. Mrs. Price had just had their 10th child. She had been on many fertility drugs because she had always wanted a big family. In his professional opinion he states that because of her many drugs for her fertility and the birth of her newest daughter that she may have been depressed.
Although others do not agree, the older Price children told the Mohawkea Childrens Services officer that their parents “fought all the time.” The older also said that they took great attempts at hiding the fights between their parents from the younger children in the home.
During an investigation into Mr. Price everyone that we spoke to said he was very successful in his work. He was a very smart man born into a wealthy family but proceeded to go to a college that was not in the lines of his family’s business of import/export. He was always a good student perfect grades. They even sent him to the family’s alumni college. Mr. Price’s parents were extremely supportive and had even sent him on a backpacking trip to Europe after his college graduation, which he refused, instead he went to a West Peruvian village and served hot meals to the children.
Mrs. Price was not quite as successful. She grew up without a father and her mother had a history of multiple personality disorders and severe depression for nearly all her life. During her childhood Mrs. Price’s mother was arrested on several occasions for prostitution and possession of drugs. Her mother blamed the prostitution on the fact that her mental illness kept her from being able to hold down a job. Mrs. Price’s mother was found in a dumpster two weeks after Mrs. Price’s 18th birthday, her murder is still unsolved to this day. She paid her tuition into college with scholarships and working at a local grocery store.
Mr. and Mrs. Price met in college. Their relationship had been very intense they soon become engaged and in Mrs. Price’s sophomore year she dropped out because she had become pregnant. She had had a miscarriage the baby which led to their quick marriage and after several more miscarriages and failed pregnancies ultimately it lead to her fertility drug use. It took her many years to carry a successful pregnancy, first of which was quadruplets. Triplets the second time, a set of twins and then their most recent daughter.
The children had suffered much from the death of their father. Reports say that the children with remain together as the oldest children are 19 years of age. Although because their home is still a crime scene they are unsure of where to go. They don’t have any family to stay with. The Red Cross is currently helping with their situation and making arrangements for their hotel stay while their family home is still under investigation by the crime scene unit. If you would like to make a donation the First National Bank of Mohawkea is collecting funds next Sunday during their Grand Re-Opening.
The union of Mr. and Mrs. Price broke the bond with his parents resulting in no help. They came to Mr. Price’s wake and are staying in town for his funeral when the body is released.
A source at the medical examiner’s office let our station know that Mr. Price was actually spared the pain and embarrassment of dying from the fatal STD he had contracted from one of his alleged mistresses. We are unsure at this time if Mrs. Price was aware and this may ultimately be her defense strategy for the pending trial. Rumor has it that Mr. Price was unfaithful for more than half of their marriage, we are currently waiting on results for several more children that may have been conceived during his trip to West Peru after graduating college.
For some reason I can't figure out how to get the picture on the post just below it.
Sorry for no bonus I just didn't have time
