"We will find out who did this."Police said Yelenic struggled violently with someone he knew before he died at home in April. He bled to death, but police wouldn't say what caused the gashes on his body.Blairsville Police Chief Donald Hess said he hopes the results of forensic evidence -- including DNA found at the scene -- will provide a lead."It was in very much detail gone over by forensic technicians, and that is some of the results we are hoping to have back soon," Hess said.Yelenic was locked in a bitter separation with his estranged wife before he died.
