At the request of Sheriff Curtis Hill, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has offered a $50,000 reward for an arrest and conviction relating to the unsolved 1969 murder of a 19-year-old woman in San Benito County.

Louise “Mindy” Johnson’s body was found burning in a field off Carr Avenue in Aromas on Feb. 16, 1969, and had been strangled with a nylon cord before being set ablaze.

The sheriff’s office recently revived the case while hoping DNA technology helps to identify the killer.

The governor granted the $50,000 reward request along with reward offers for five other unsolved murder cases in California, according to a statement from the governor’s press office.
