On June 27, 1995, 27-year-old Jodi Huisentruit was late for work. This wasn’t too shocking, as she anchored the morning news show for KIMT in Mason City Iowa, and usually had to be at the studio by 3:30 am. Oversleeping wasn’t uncommon, which is one of the reasons Jodi lived so close to work. When her co-worker Amy called Jodi, she found that the anchor had, in fact, overslept, but was on her way. Except Jodi never arrived. 

Hours went by, and Amy knew something was wrong. Once police arrived at Jodi’s apartment complex, they saw a terrifying scene. Jodi was gone, and it was clear she didn’t leave on her own. An investigation ensued, but despite media coverage and law enforcement efforts, Jodi’s case went cold. There have been many theories over the years, but now, nearly 30 years after Jodi Huisentruit’s disappearance, could we finally be getting closer to the truth? 

Anyone with information on Jodi Huisentruit's disappearance is urged to call the Mason City Police Department at 515-421-3636.
