Family hopes new DNA composite helps solve Aurora murder

AURORA, Colo. -- Police may be one step closer to finding murderer who has never been found responsible for his crimes.

Aurora police say advancing technology allowed Parabon NanoLabs, a Virginia company specializing in DNA phenotyping, to help the force create a composite image of what they believe the killer may look like.

The killer, who is generally believed to be a man, attacked and brutally murdered a young family on East Center Drive in January of 1984.

Police say the man murdered the Bennett family -- Bruce Bennett, 27, Debra Bennett, 26, Melissa Bennett, 7, and a another family member who survived the attack -- with a weapon believed to be a knife and a blunt object.
