Investigators say amber rimmed eyeglasses found at the Benedict Canyon estate offer a partial portrait of the killer but no identifiable owner. Police report the glasses show the suspect is a nearsighted man likely 20 to 40 with a small head and uneven ears. No motive or murder weapon yet, and optometry records fail to pinpoint a suspect.
