MASON CITY, Iowa (FOX 9) - Saturday is a somber day for a community in Mason City Iowa, marking 31 years since Jodi Huisentruit’s disappearance.
Jodi Huisentruit anniversary
The backstory:
The case dates back to 1995 in Mason City, Iowa, when beloved news anchor Jodi Huisentruit did not show up to work to anchor the morning news. Her body was never found and no one has ever been charged.
Earlier this month, a private investigator claims he uncovered a potential suspect in a 1995 cold case thanks to a tip unraveling the investigation. He said someone came forward to get something off their chest, which was key to giving him resolution.
