The investigation into the 1984 cold case homicides of Patricia Louise Smith in Lakewood, and the three members of the Bennett family in Aurora, are reaching a critical stage. No further information can be released at this time, but we expect to provide more information at a news conference that will be hosted by the Aurora Police Department on Friday, August 10, at 10 a.m.
Representatives of the Aurora Police Department, the Lakewood Police Department, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the 1st Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation will be at the news conference.
The news media should be cautious that any information provided by a source other than one of these organizations may be inaccurate and should be treated with caution.
These are sensitive and complicated investigations, and information is being made available as quickly as possible.
