Dennis Auman was a 29-year-old White man living in Akron, Ohio. On December 26, 1982, one or more unknown intruders forced their way into his home at 1449 South Main Street. The break-in turned into a fatal home invasion when Auman was stabbed and did not survive.

The Akron Police Department opened a homicide investigation but was unable to identify suspects. The case went cold with no arrests and remained unsolved. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office now lists the killing as a cold case and investigators are asking the public for any information that could help.

If anyone knew Dennis, lived on South Main Street then, or has information about the home invasion on December 26, 1982, please submit a tip to investigators.
