The body of Maria Martinez, 51, was found on State Road 13 by two employees of the Department of Environmental Protection on November 5, 2007. Hernandez reported her missing the day before the body was found.
Hernandez was brought in for questioning on Monday and was booked into the St. Johns County Jail that afternoon. He is charged with second-degree murder.
