Daniel Phillip Bergerson, 27, was found dead in Miami, Florida, on January 24, 1971. His death was ruled a homicide and remains unsolved; the case appears on Miami-Dade County’s list of cold cases from the 1970s.

The investigation is still open and the Miami-Dade Cold Case Squad has revisited the case as part of a broader effort to apply newer techniques such as DNA and fingerprint database searches to long-unsolved murders.

Anyone with information about Bergerson’s death is encouraged to contact the authorities who are seeking witnesses or tips that could help bring justice.
