Cold Case: DA Increases Reward For Information About Kim Benoit's Death In 1974

NORTH ADAMS (CBS) -- The reward to help solve a nearly 50-year-old cold case in Massachusetts is growing. On November 16, 1974, 18-year-old Kim Benoit's body was found along a riverbank in Berkshire County.

The North Adams teen had been reported missing a few days before.

The Berkshire County District Attorney's Office is now offering $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction of the person responsible. That reward is on top of the $5,000 Benoit's family has offered.

If you have any information, call Massachusetts State Police at 413-499-1112.
