The Springdale Police Department initiated an investigation into Berta's disappearance and sought assistance from the public for any information that could help locate her. Her case was entered into the Arkansas 'Never Forgotten' missing persons database, a platform designed to increase public awareness of ongoing cases and facilitate communication between law enforcement and the community. This database is a collaborative effort involving the Arkansas Crime Information Center and the Arkansas Attorney General's office, which holds 'Never Forgotten' events to keep these cases in the public eye.
In an effort to find Berta, the Springdale Police Department worked with various state and non-profit organizations, including the Morgan Nick Foundation. Public appeals were made for any information regarding her whereabouts, with law enforcement encouraging anyone with potential leads to contact them. Ultimately, these efforts led to a positive outcome, as Berta Micaela Tiul Cuz has since been located and is no longer considered a missing person. The case is now closed.Last Seen: Sep 7, 2024
