The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s help in solving a murder from 1992.

In 1992, Natasha Atchley, 19, was murdered in Shepherd, Texas.

Each month, the Texas Rangers Unsolved Crimes Investigation Team releases one unsolved case to raise public awareness and potentially generate new investigative leads.

According to DPS, Atchley's car was found on May 3, 1992, burned on a rural dirt road approximately one mile from the party she attended the night before. Her body was found in the trunk of her vehicle.

The Montgomery County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to a felony arrest in this investigation. To be eligible for the cash reward, the tip must be submitted by calling 1-800-392-7867 or visiting the website at http://montgomerycountycrimestoppers.org/.
