On June 27, 1974, the body of Daniel Erick Johnson was found about seven miles north of Minot Air Force Base, roughly 300 feet east of Highway 83 near the northern entrance to Glenburn, North Dakota. An autopsy found he had been shot three times, and investigators concluded his death was a homicide.

The Renville County Sheriff’s Department took charge of the investigation, but despite their efforts the case grew cold and remains unsolved. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The sheriff’s office continues to hold the case file and is open to new information.

Does anyone who lived in the area in 1974 or who has knowledge of people or vehicles seen near Highway 83 that day have information that could help move this file forward?
