In 1986, the since defunt ''Arkansas Gazette'' in [[Little Rock]] published a 15-article investigative series by reporter Beth Brickell, who alleged that one of Crawford's clients had been defrauded of extensive timber and oil holdings by the late Henry Myar "Mike" Berg (1909-1975), a [[business]]man in Camden and former state police commissioner. The newspaper speculated that Crawford had confronted Berg. The newspaper reported that the detective who discovered this connection was removed from the case, and the relevant files disappeared from police station. Bill McLean, the prosecuting attorney in El Dorado in Union County, reopened the case but was unable to prosecute. After more than sixty years, the case remains officially unsolved.
