A 38-year-old man in Nebraska will spend the rest of his days behind bars for killing both of his young children, smothering them before staging their bodies to make it look like they were sleeping by tucking them back into their beds in what authorities have maintained were undoubtedly premeditated acts.

A jury in Sarpy County on Thursday deliberated for just over two hours before finding Adam Lee Price guilty on two counts of first-degree murder in the horrific slayings of his 5-year-old daughter, Emily Price, and his 3-year-old son, Theodore Price, in May 2021, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

He will be facing a likely sentence of life in a state correctional facility without the chance for parole when he returns to court for his sentencing hearing on May 6.

Price’s arrest

As previously reported by Law&Crime, detectives with the Bellevue Police Department testified that they apprehended Price in California, several days after the children’s bodies were discovered inside his home in Bellevue, Nebraska. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Price, on the day of the murders, going to a bank near his home and withdrawing a large sum of cash, then returning to his house for a short while before heading to California.

Following his arrest, Price confessed to planning and committing the murders during a seven-hour interrogation with detectives.

The detective recalled asking Price, “Killing the kids was more about you than killing the kids?”

Price responded, “Yes, it was not a spur of the moment thing.”

The detective further testified Price showed no remorse when asked if he “could see doing the day over again.”

Price responded, “I would do it again,” the detective testified.

The medical examiner who conducted the autopsies on Emily and Theodore determined the cause of death was asphyxiation. That doctor told authorities that killing in the manner that Price killed his children takes significant time and effort.
