On January 4, 1992, 89-year-old Akron resident Inez Berg was violently burglarized at her home at 103 W. Miller Avenue and suffered a broken arm in the attack. After the burglary she began receiving threatening phone calls, including death threats, and the ongoing harassment contributed to severe stress.

On January 19, 1992, Inez suffered a fatal heart attack that authorities tied directly to the trauma from the assault and the subsequent threats; her death was ruled a homicide. The Akron Police Department continues to investigate and the Ohio Attorney General’s office has added the case to its cold case initiative.

Anyone with information that might help bring justice for Inez Berg is asked to contact law enforcement or submit an anonymous tip.
