Akron Filmmaker's Death Clouded in Larcenous Mystery
Emmy and Telly awards earned for documentary about the Knight brothers have gone missing.
Paul Jacoway was best known for the 2009 feature documentary Final Edition: Journalism According to John S. and James L. Knight. This month, following the filmmaker and University of Akron lecturer’s sudden death from natural causes, someone absconded with the regional Emmy and Telly awards he earned for the film, taking other personal belongings as well.
The police are now involved and reviewing apartment lobby surveillance video. Jacoway’s long-time girlfriend Jennifer Somerville is hoping whoever took the items, which also include mementos from the professor’s days with Columbia Records, will see fit to return them.
