Ex-NFL DL Barry Bennett, Wife Found Dead in Home; Son Sought as Suspect

Former NFL defensive lineman Barry Bennett and wife Carol Bennett were found dead Wednesday at their home in Long Prairie, Minnesota.

Todd County sheriff Todd Och told the Associated Press that Dylan John Bennett, the couple's 22-year-old son, is a suspect in the case and is being sought by local authorities.

Jon Kringen, the superintendent of the Long Prairie Grey Eagle School District, from which Barry Bennett retired after a second career as a physical education teacher, told Mary Lynn Smith of the Star Tribune the news "hit hard" Thursday morning in the small community.
