California is offering a reward of up to $300,000 for information leading to a breakthrough in the 1987 murder of 13-year-old Michelle Matteucci in Daly City, abc7news.com reports.

Michelle vanished in 1987 while walking home from Alta Loma Junior High School. Her body was discovered later that night in a nearby backyard.

Police said she had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and strangled.

The case has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. It is among a number of cold-case homicides across California now eligible for reward funding as part of a state effort to generate new leads in unsolved killings.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about those responsible for Michelle's death — or other unresolved murder cases — to come forward.
