A former defensive lineman for the New York Jets and his wife were found dead in a rural Minnesota home – and detectives are searching for the couple’s son in their “suspicious deaths,” police said.
The bodies of Barry Bennett, 63, and his wife, Carol, were found Wednesday in the former NFL player’s home in Long Prairie. A friend called the Todd County Sheriff’s Office to report that Bennett had not returned phone calls or texts from a day earlier.
Both Barry Bennett and his wife, also 63, were found dead “under suspicious circumstances,” according to Todd County Sheriff Steve Och, who did not officially identify the Bennetts on Thursday because their relatives had not yet been notified of their deaths.
