Hoping this is not posted in another thread.
Amanda Price, the wife of a high school coach in New Albany Mississippi was shot to death on her backyard last night (Dec 5th) at around 10:00pm. Her husband, Ron Price, was grazed on the shoulder. He was treated and released from the hospital the same night.
The couple has a five year old with the name Molly Addison. Not sure if Addison is a middle name or last name in this case. But, she could be from the mother's previous relationship.
According to the story the couple returned home, and the wife decided to let the dog out on the backyard (no mention if the dog was barking at the intruder.)
Dogs can be very sensitive and bark when someone is around the home.
She surprised someone, and started screaming. She then got shot dead. Her husband heard the screams and came out to investigate. He got grazed on the shoulder.
No descriptions of the intruder has been mentioned. There is a $20,000 reward for information.
I don't want to doubt this respectable coach, but I guess I've become too paranoid with stuff that's happening in the news lately.
I question how dark or lighted was the backyard at 10:00pm, that the intruder shot dead the wife and shot the husband close to the heart, but the husband did not see him.
I mean, how close was the intruder? Unless he is a marksman, to kill her and shoot him on the shoulder from far away, in the darkness... or he had to be very close.
I also wonder if the dog was on the intruder attacking him or barking his heart out, and why didn't the intruder shoot the dog.
There is nothing written about things being robbed or vandalized, or any window or door being broken in.
The couple had just come in, turned lights, etc... why did the intruder wait on the backyard instead of running away when the couple came in.
Also, the couple may have used the front door that night to come in, is that normal for them... to use the front door when getting in, not the back.
Anyway, I didn't post this on missing, because she is not missing.
Until I know more, I will think of it as what has been reported. But, something is amiss in this story too, and it seems it will end as another Stebic/Petersen/Powell story.
Hopefully the investigators in this keep a close look at the details and question the facts, instead of taking all statements made by the husband at face value.
According to police there were three car burglaries in the neighborhood that night. Still, from car burglary to murder... possibly two murders...
“It appears that she may have gone outside with their dog and startled someone in their backyard,” Grisham said. “She began to scream and someone shot her.”
