"MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. — The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is seeking new information that may finally identify the people responsible for killing the 25-year-old heiress to a large fortune.
The body of Marion Berry Ouma was located on Jan. 3, 1979 near Hoover Dam down an embankment on Highway 93. She had been dead for less than 12 hours.''
''Ouma had died from a gunshot wound to her abdomen with a .38 caliber weapon, the sheriff's office said.
The victim was last seen alive on Dec. 13, 1978 when she withdrew money out of her savings account at a Las Vegas bank located near 4th Street and Carson Avenue.
During the investigation, MCSO learned the victim's grandfather was Loren Berry, better known as "Mr. Yellow Pages" for his work in the telephone directory business. Berry had left $40 million to his granddaughter.''

''Detectives tried to identify the victim but were unsuccessful until 1981, when a private detective from Ohio reached out saying she matched Ouma, who was married in Africa and worked as a physical education teacher there for several years.''
''Detectives learned that Ouma's grandfather was Loren Berry, who died in 1980 and left $40 million to his granddaughter.''
The sheriff's office learned Ouma twice visited a Downtown Las Vegas bank at 4th Street and Carson Avenue, on Nov. 28 and Dec. 13, 1978, to withdraw money from her savings account. Detectives found she was living in an apartment in Las Vegas as well until she was asked to vacate in December 1978 for failure to pay rent.
Authorities are seeking any information on Ouma's whereabouts between the time she was last seen leaving the bank on Dec. 13, 1978, and when her body was found on Jan. 3, 1979. They're also looking for any potential leads on the possible Chevrolet or Ford seen in the area on the evening of Ouma's murder.''
