In other words, there really HASN'T yet been a breakthrough in this case at all. I just heard them repeat pretty much the same things that were said about it 28 yrs ago. But it does feel good that there are STILL eyes on this case and investigations and awareness on it are still occuring. ❤

That's what I thought. At first, I thought the p.i. had discovered a NEW, formerly unknown "secret flame".

Not nescessarily, this investigator isn't going to show all his cards and blab "a, and b, then c . . all over the news) especially with potential perpetrator still at large. And a good one will spill little details that arouse the guilty. Planting seeds of doubt, just for them etc. By the way he speaks, he's thoughtful, patient and methodical. There's a reason he spoke out, now, but probably not to say nothing. I mean, he can't divulge specific info that would tip off suspects!, think about it . . .Just my view of it Always good to see a case solved.

[@pastorpresent1]

I lived on the same block as her mother in Minnesota at the time. The whole town grieved. For seven years we had prayer vigils from all the church people together in one place on the anniversary. But hope dimmed over time, and our prayers became prayers of grieving and coping with the loss. I sat with Jodi once at a wedding rehearsal and she talked about how hard it was for a news anchor to get a date. I fear she may have bonded with somebody too quickly. She was a ray of sunshine. Everybody still misses her.

[@whitemountainapache3297]

What a waste of time the prayer vigils were. I guess God just couldn't be bothered answering the prayers.

[@pastorpresent1]

I understand why you are saying that. I used to say things like that as well. But the prayer vigils drew the town together like nothing else in the 10 years that I lived in that town. God does not promise that nothing bad will happen. But he does promise that he will be with us through it all. My goodness, he let his own son die after some brutal suffering. But that ended well in Waze that people on the scene could not have anticipated. I have found that times of suffering and grief have opened me up to some very important growth spiritually, and emotionally. I sense that you are a young person. Come back to this topic later, maybe much later, and I think you’ll understand better. I hope so. You will also learn how to talk more gently with people on the topic of their grief and loss.

Yes, they were found outside of her car. I'm from Mason City, Iowa. Amy Kuhns called Jodi from the station, figuring she was running late. Jodi answered the phone and had overslept. Amy reported she sounded fine. The police said Jodi had definitely put up a fight. That's obvious as her things were all over the around her car. And part of her key was broken off in the lock of the car. Because of the struggle police have considered that two people may be involved. At the time, Jodi was taken the Key Apartments had window air conditioners. No one heard anything. But as a tenant said, the air conditioners were pretty loud. A white van had been noticed in the area all that week. So, the police focused on locating a white van. People volunteered to search the area. Farmers were told to check all their properties and buildings for anything unusual. As the report stated, Jodi was very well liked in the community. Hopefully, someday, this will be solved.

Well, that was disappointing, NN. This guy is saying Jodi was abducted by a rival of her affections and they fought with items spread around outside her car. Most of this we already know. He claims the police know who did but have sat on it for almost 30 years. Gee, that's helpful. I don't think this interview gets us any closer to solving this.

[@thebewitchinghour831]

He didn't say anything new. It has already been told at one point that she had been seeing someone new recently. That's where the neighbor's jealousy theory came into play with the public. They never revealed who the guy was that she had just started seeing. You're right. This guy didn't say anything new that those of us who have paid attention to this case didn't already know.

Poor Jodi and her poor family. I hope they find out what happened to her.

[@PoM-MoM]

Why did they wait 11 months to do the search of her neighborhood area? Even 2 or 3 days is too long to wait to do ground evidence searches. Such a loss !

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

To me, that delay lends credence to the dirty cop angle. There just wasn't any justifiable reason to wait that long. It seems they're continuing to cover for someone by withholding information decades later.

I enjoy watching crime documentaries (well made ones) and after many years of watching them, I’ve concluded the vast majority of law enforcement, specifically homicide detectives, are mediocre at best. As for large metro areas, I think over many decades, Los Angeles has had some top notch homicide detectives. IMHO.

[@PoM-MoM]

@@danc3693 I think you're correct, the smaller the city the less experience in horrific crimes that larger densely populated have. Take Moscow, Idaho... for example. The victims and/or the suspect(s) there have no hope either way.

[@jamescon55]

STILL....NO answers on this....JUSTICE for Jody!

[@billy1673]

So this was literally a whole lotta nothing! What was the big breakthrough??? Unbelievable.🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jobee1]

I remember this case back in the 90’s. It would be good to get this case solved.

[@dm95422]

Jodi Huisentruit was a lovely anchorwoman. So sad.

[@tkp90210]

Where can we find this information?

[@piehound]

I never knew about this case. But i hope your investigation uncovers whoever is responsible for her disappearance.

[@Spirit-8]

I hope she is found soon, and the family can have justice and peace 🕊️ for this woman, it's been far to long for them to get the answers, answers they need and deserve.

This really creeps me out and creeped me out 28 years ago when I was age 11 going on 12 and a rising 7th grader.
