Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP402) and 24 other sources
Jodi Huisentruit, a 27-year-old morning news anchor for KIMT-TV in Mason City, Iowa, disappeared on June 27, 1995. That morning, Jodi failed to arrive for her 4 a.m. shift at the station. Her colleague called her at home around 4:10 a.m., and Jodi answered, apologizing for oversleeping and saying she was on her way. However, Jodi never made it to the station, and her coworkers became concerned when she did not arrive by 7 a.m.

Investigators later found signs of a struggle near Jodi's car in the parking lot of her apartment complex. Her red Mazda Miata was left behind, and there were personal items, including her shoes, hair dryer, and key, scattered around the car. Police believe that Jodi was abducted as she was leaving for work.

Despite numerous searches and media attention, no substantial leads have emerged. Over the years, there have been various theories and suspects, including the possibility of a stalker, but no arrests have been made. In 2001, Jodi was declared legally dead, although her case remains officially unsolved. Her disappearance continues to generate significant public interest, and law enforcement remains open to any new information.

The case is still under investigation, and Jodi’s family and friends continue to hope for answers about what happened to her that fateful morning.
