Jodi Sue Huisentruit (born June 5, 1968) was a television news anchor for KIMT, based in Mason City, Iowa in the United States. It is believed that she was abducted while on her way to work in the early morning hours of June 27, 1995. She was 27 years old at the time.
Huisentruit grew up in Long Prairie, Minnesota. In high school, she was considered a to be very good at golf. Her team won the state Class A tournament in 1985 and 1986. After high school, she went on to St. Cloud State University, where she studied TV Broadcasting and Speech Communication and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 1990. Her first job after graduation was with Northwest Airlines. She entered broadcasting by getting a job at KGAN in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, then returned to Minnesota for a job at KSAX in Alexandria before returning to Iowa for her KIMT position.
At about 4:00 AM on the day she disappeared, Huisentruit talked on the phone with a producer at the station as she prepared to her apartment. However, by 7:00, she had not appeared, and staff at KIMT called the police. Personal items including keys were found strewn around the area where her car was parked.
There have been periodic resurgences in the story. Whenever remains of any kind are found in the area (animal or human), speculation quickly jumps to the idea of the missing reporter. So far, no conclusive evidence has been found in the case, and remains have always turned out to be from other sources.
