In the video above, listen as Bunny and Bob Lehton describe how an intruder controlled and stabbed them during an attack at their Cocoa Beach home on March 20, 1994.

Their daughter, Amy Gellert, did not survive the attack and 23 years later, investigators are still looking for her killer.

The masked man was armed with an unusual dagger with an ornate hilt and what turned out to be a prop gun made by Brixia, that fires blanks and is used in the theater and movies.

The dagger has never been found.

Investigators say the intruder was armed with unusual weapons: a dagger with an ornate hilt, resembling this police sketch, and a prop gun, like this one made by Brixia.
