In 1964 he played a role in the murders of three civil rights workers. Price stopped the three men for speeding, detained them in the county jail ,and prevented them form having contact with any outsiders, while he and fellow Klansmen worked out a murder scheme. He then released the three men, pursued them, detained them again, and drove them to an isolated spot where they were murdered.
