Former police commissioner and vice-mayor of Burbank. After participating in an early SCANATE experiment, Price joined the remote viewing program at SRI. He died in 1975. (Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, Mind-Reach, Delacorte Press, 1977, Chptr 3)
In the fall of 1974, Price left SRI to fill a position as president of a Huntington, WV coal company (which had Scientology connections). During this time, he worked directly for the CIA, with Ken Kress as his handler. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 275-6)
In July, 1975, Price decided to quit his position with the coal company and return to SRI. He stopped at Las Vegas on his return trip, and died of a heart attack in his hotel room. There was no autopsy peformed, allegedly due to the persuasion of an unknown individual with a briefcase full of Price's medical records. Since then, there have been rumors circulating that Price had been murdered by the KGB or that he faked his death and continued to work for the CIA. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 181-3)
