According to News, the couple’s blossoming romance went downhill after Price refused to marry Knight. He wanted to ensure that his children from a previous marriage inherited his home. From then on, Knight became increasingly violent. All That’s Interesting writes that prior to his murder, Knight had attempted to stab price in the chest. This led him to file a restraining order and telling his co-workers that if something happened to him, it was Knight’s doing. On February 29, 2000, Knight made her way into Price’s home. The couple had sex and Price fell asleep. Then, Knight proceeded to stab him 37 times (per ABC).
Knight then skinned his entire body with the expertise she learned working in a slaughterhouse. When she was finished, she placed the body on a meat hook. 7News states that his head and other parts of his body were found in the kitchen. Knight had cooked pieces of Price’s flesh with vegetables and placed them on plates with his children’s names on notes near each plate.

When Price didn’t show up for work the next day a co-worker went by his house and saw blood on the door. He then called the police, per 7News. Not only did they find the macabre murder scene, but they also found Knight sleeping in a bed at the home. She’d tried unsuccessfully to end her life by taking an overdose of pills.
