Death in Houston High Society Part 2: The Businessman, the Hitman, & the Killing of Alan Berg

Published: July 29, 2021, 4:22 a.m.

b'In 1982, when Dean Goss needed cash to pay for his murdered wife Elaine\\u2019s funeral, he sought out Houston Carpet & Flooring magnate Frank DiMaria. Back in 1968, when Imperial Carpet executive Alan Berg disappeared and was later found murdered, Frank DiMaria stood accused of having hired a notorious Texas hitman \\u2013 Charles Voyde Harrelson \\u2013 to do the job. DiMaria and the Bergs had been feuding for some time, and though Harrelson\\u2019s girlfriend came clean about her role in Alan\\u2019s death, his murder remains officially unsolved to this day.
