The Babysitter Killer: Inside the Mind of America's Youngest Serial Predator

By Clara McKay

In the quiet suburb of Warwick, Rhode Island, during the late 1980s, a boy who smiled at neighbors and babysat local children harbored a secret more terrifying than anyone could imagine.

At just 15 years old, Craig Price became one of America's youngest and most brutal serial killers. His victims: a young woman preparing to move, and a mother with her two daughters-all murdered with shocking violence and precision. He didn't look like a killer. But behind the friendly face was a mind fueled by rage, manipulation, and a hunger for control.

The Babysitter Killer is a chilling true-crime investigation that peels back the layers of Price's life and crimes-from his seemingly normal upbringing to his horrifying confessions and the legal chaos that followed. Drawing from court documents, psychological profiles, and interviews, Clara McKay explores how the justice system failed to stop a predator hiding in plain sight-and how his case forever changed juvenile law in America.

Perfect for fans of Mindhunter, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, and The Stranger Beside Me, this book is not just a story of murder-it's a haunting reminder of how evil can live next door.
