Dennis Auman, a 29-year-old resident of Akron, Ohio, was murdered in his home on December 26, 1982, during a violent home invasion. Unknown intruders broke into his residence on South Main Street, where Auman was fatally stabbed. This tragic incident shocked the community and initiated a thorough investigation by the Akron Police Department, though no suspects were ever identified. His case remains unsolved, with law enforcement and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office continuing to seek public assistance in hopes that new information might come to light.
The case is part of Ohio's cold case database, with officials encouraging anyone who may know details related to the incident to come forward, as even minor tips could potentially help bring closure to Auman’s family and lead to justice after decades of uncertainty.
