Murder of Bryan Bensen and Seann Campbell

Seann Cambell and Bryan Benson

In Warminster, Pennsylvania two friends Seann Campbell and Bryan Benson grew up together. In 1993 at 20 years old the two friends were part timers at the West Coast Video store in town. No one was expecting the tragedy that would happen on the night of November 10, 1993. 

The two were closing the video store together that night. It is believed that shortly before 10 p.m. They went had gone to the adult X-rated room and were attacked. The two were stabbed to death with a long blade knife among their necks, backs, and chest. It was believed that there was more than one assailant as the two boys were 6 ft and in fit condition. The two put up a mighty struggle, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. It was believed that the killer or killers were hiding in the X-rated room in the back of the store or forced the two back there.

 The owner didn't find them until the next morning, and by then it was too late.

It is believed that robbery may not have been the reason for the murders. Even though the murderer or murderers got away with $300 they did leave money in the register and didn't even attempt to take either boys wallet.

It is known that at least one assailant had a pierced ear. During the struggle an earring was ripped out of his ear. DNA has been acquired, but no matches have been made.

The murders of the two well liked residents shocked the community. $52,000 was raised for a reward for anyone with information leading the arrests of those responsible.
