Authorities say a young college student who was brutally killed on a Prescott hiking trail decades ago was the victim of a serial predator who took his own life years later.
“What we know of serious violent predators like this, it is very unlikely given the frequency in which he was willing to act that these are the only four cases that exist,” Rhodes said.”
Sposito’s killing rocked Prescott and Yavapai County as Thumb Butte Trail had always been seen as safe. Two months after that incident, Bennett allegedly locked a girl in a room at a Chino Valley house party and tried to sexually assault her. He was arrested, Rhodes said. Bennett was later acquitted.
