The police department has not disclosed how the children died, but said the deaths were being treated as ‘suspicious’. According to a statement from Bellevue Police, officers were dispatched to Price’s home twice over the weekend once on Saturday evening, May 15, and again on Sunday, May 16, just before 9 am. The children’s mother and Price s wife, who lives in Illinois, had asked Bellevue police to check on their welfare after she was unable to reach them or their father. The police were called to the house for the third time after 11 am on Sunday, May 16, after someone found the children’s bodies. At that time, Price was not present at the home.
Police have not said how the children died. The charges do not specify how Price allegedly caused the children’s death, The Omaha World-Herald reported.
The children’s mother, Mary Nielsen, told reporters that she and Price are in the process of getting divorced and the children were at their father’s home for court-ordered visitation.
Nielsen, who had moved to Illinois with the children, called police more than once and went on social media to plead for information on her children’s whereabouts after not hearing from them since Thursday. Nielsen said her husband was under court order to provide her daily communication with the children during his visits.
