DOUGLAS M. PRICE
1941 - 1968
|
On April 25, 1968, Special Agent Douglas M. Price
was shot and killed near San Antonio, Texas, during
an FBI operation to apprehend Bureau fugitive David
Rice Chubb, who was sought for murder and car theft.
SA Price, who had served the Bureau for slightly
over one year, was taking weapons to Agents already
positioned in an area where Chubb was believed
to be hiding. A search began when SA Price failed
to respond to radio transmissions. His abandoned
Bureau car was found with a bullet hole in the
door, and SA Price's body was located in brush
35 feet from his car. Chubb drove to a nearby parking
lot, where he committed suicide.
SA Price was born in Paris, Idaho, in January
of 1941. In September of 1959 he enrolled in Utah
State University in Logan. He entered on duty with
the FBI in 1967 and, after completing his training,
was assigned to the San Antonio field office.
