The series implicated Mike Berg in Crawford's disappearance because of evidence of a strong financial motive related to transactions affecting the estate of his late aunt Rose Berg. Mike Berg was a wealthy Camden businessman and a former state police commissioner, who had been appointed by then Governor [[Orval E. Faubus]]. Berg's widow, Helen Berg, threatened to sue ''The Arkansas Gazette'' over the series, but the newspaper continued to publish the articles over a five-month period. Mrs. Berg never filed suit.[1]
