Bridgeville, DE. Murder

As seen online in the Daily Times:

"BRIDGEVILLE — A 49-year-old man who drove a backhoe to a Bridgeville-area home in search of his girlfriend ended up shooting one of the West Newton Road residents early Wednesday morning when he couldn't find her, police and neighbors said."

What they ALL missed was that this same suspect may have have also been the same guy that committed murder about 25 years ago, a Millard Price was one of two people convicted of murdering 2 drug dealers at the Howard Johnson motel right where Zia's is now.

I thought that he was one of the two that murdered a couple of people in the apple orchard (that is now gone-corner of Dykes and Robbins Ave) on Dykes Road in the late 70's. That was right down the road from my house. Why the hell did he get out? I went to school with both of those guys.

Yes Millard served his time got out and now he won't get out this time. Went to High School and played football with him. Nice enough guy but off center a bit.

He wasn't convicted in those murders back then but was let go bedause the jury at that time did not feel the witnesses were reliable due to the fact that the witnesses admitted to drug use. That is what the killings were over, drugs. I knew and talked with couple of the witnesses about the killings. He also was accused of the same crime in North Carolina.

I went to High School with him too!
Good ole Bennett (we won't talk about the year). I always thought that he was a bit strange but thought that it was just too many drugs. He's just plain EVIL!!

This ass hole walked on a technicality in the late 70's, and again in the state of North Carolina.

Delaware has him now, and they do not play around. I am sure that any judge that looks at his past record will see the pattern, and will sentance him to death row. This will give him time to reflect on the things that he has done to other people during his life.

It is a shame that executions have been put on hold by the U.S. Supreme Court, due to the fact that it is now considered creul and unusual punishment to sentance a convicted murderer to lethal injection.

Were the people that this man has murdered given a choice to have a death as easy as that? Hell no!!!

They were executed, and he should be executed as well.

Give him a few years to reflect on his mistakes, then take him out in the prison yard and blow his ass away!!!

I couldn't have said it better myself. People who are against the death penalty have never had a loved one murdered in cold blood...I have and it hurts like hell knowing that my tax dollars are paying for the prick that killed my family member, get his college degree in prison!!

Anonymous 9:29, was that the two people that worked at a convenience store at that time and found along the side of the road in a ditch when the bypass was brand new? I think that was a robbery and didn't involve drugs.

It's been a long time ago but at that time word was that the suspect in todays news owed the drug dealers a lot of money and it was easier to kill them and take their drugs. Both victims if my memory serves me right were killed in the hotel room at the Howard Johnson.

He hid one in the trunk of a car and left it on Sharps Point Rd. The trial was the summer of '80. He cleaned up-professed his love for Jesus and the jury let him go because the others admitted to using drugs. He left the area and went south. An incident there was suppose to be for molestation of a family member or family friend. So Delaware has him and perhaps in about 5 yrs or less, he can get a needle and say good riddance. Driving a backhoe to commit a murder-that's a new one and I'd say pretty determined. Let's see if Stephen Miles shows up for this one.

He lived on Monticello Ave. with his mother. His dad was a marine that if memory serves me right was killed in the service. One of those killed was Jimmy Sullivan who worked at a gas station in Fruitland, and yes their bodies were found on Dykes Road by a hunter.

Thanks mrtv, I was beginning to think that I was losing it for a minute there!

I'm probably wrong from reading these posts. I thought he was convicted, was there an appeal that got him acquitted, and wasn't publicized as much as the first trial? Whatever, his problem in North Carolina, being acquitted again for the same thing is just crazy. Riding a backhoe to go do another hit? Let's hope they get him on this one and throw away the key.

This is the same Millard Price and everyone who knows him knows that he is a murderer. He is a habitual criminal that can't obey the law. It appears that he lives his life thinking that he can be unjust to whoever and whatever he pleases. He doesn't know how to be a good citizen. It's very sad that he has gone free and gotten away with many crimes all his life, but he is a very good liar and persuader. Only those that know him well can see through his words. From what I can remember...He served a sentence in juvi for shooting out the car windows parked around an apartment complex near his home on Monticello Avenue in Salisbury, MD. Jim Langley was found in the Howard Johnsons Hotel wrapped in a sheet with a bullet wound to the head. Jimmy Sullivan was found dead also, I thought in an orchard. He was not convicted and claimed to be a new born Christian. Later I heard he was tried and convicted for the molestation of his brother's son. (16 year sentence) When he got out (and he always gets out early for good behavior) the police were monitoring him for a while. Then I heard he shot another man in Delaware (probably this one where he road in on the bulldozer.) The news article said he fleed the scene in a stolen vehicle and was later found hiding in a closet with the assault rifle. He has also served time for robbery. As a juvi he robbed "College Market" Remember that place? I used to walk there as a kid to get penny candy. I hate to say it but this man needs to be locked up for the safety of his next victim(s) whoever they might be.
