There are plenty of theories about what happened to Jodi Huisentruit on June 27, 1995 as she was leaving her apartment complex in Mason City, Iowa.

One of those theories deals with a prisoner on death row who is set to be executed tomorrow (Friday July 17, 2020).

Dustin Honken is a federal inmate in Indiana. Some believe that Honken may have been involved in Jodi’s disappearance, or at least may have some knowledge of what happened to her.

Over the years, the FindJodi team has spent significant time investigating this theory. This episode covers what we’ve been able to learn about it.

In Episode 2, our FindJodi.com team focuses on the scope of the investigation and what police have revealed publicly about Jodi's unsolved case.

We also drill down on some of the false and contradictory information that has been reported over the years.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the case is reports of blood evidence found at the crime scene at the Key Apartments parking lot in Mason City, Iowa, where Jodi was abducted on her way to anchor the morning news at KIMT-TV on June 27, 1995.

Our team also discusses one of the more bizarre twists in this 25-year-old case: the mailing of a copy of Jodi's personal journal to the local newspaper.

FindJodi.com begins our new podcast series focused on the timeline involved in Iowa news anchorwoman Jodi Huisentruit’s unsolved disappearance.

We retraced Jodi’s activities in the 24-48 hours before she was abducted in her apartment parking lot on her way to anchor the morning news at KIMT-TV in Mason City on June 27, 1995.

The 27-year-old Long Prairie, Minnesota native joined the small CBS-affiliate in northern Iowa in 1993.

By June of 1995, Jodi was actively looking to move on to a much bigger television market.

Our FindJodi team compiled the timeline after interviewing people who were close personally and professionally to Jodi, by reviewing extensive news media coverage of the investigation, obtaining some police reports and by doing interviews over the years with Mason City investigators.

We have also talked with many residents who lived at Jodi’s apartment complex and with people who were with Jodi at the Chamber of Commerce golf tournament just hours before she was abducted.

The unsolved disappearance of an Iowa TV news anchor 25 years ago remains one of the Midwest's most enduring mysteries.

Jodi Huisentruit never arrived at work on the morning of June 27, 1995. No arrests have been made and the case has gone cold.

In this new podcast, the volunteer team of investigators and reporters at FindJodi.com will share their discoveries, discuss the case, and raise awareness in the hopes of one day finding answers for Jodi's family.

Please subscribe and share. The first full-length episode will be released on June 5th.
