Does anyone remember this? My S/O was telling me about the case last night and it's funny that a state representative accused local law enforcement of being involved with her disappearance and/or covering it up.

The ensuing investigation revealed at least three neighbors in her apartment complex who said they heard screams at about the time Huisentruit would have likely been leaving for work. In addition, a neighbor who lived nearby reported seeing a white van with its running lights on parked in Huisentruit's parking lot at about the same time. This van was never positively identified.

In early June 2008, photocopies of the 84 pages of Huisentruit's personal journal were anonymously mailed to a local newspaper. The Mason City Globe Gazette received the material in a large envelope with no return address and a June 4 postmark from Waterloo, Iowa. The original journal has been in the possession of law enforcement since the investigation of Huisentruit's disappearance began. Within days, Mason City Police reported that the sender had come forward and then identified her as the wife of the former Mason City Police Chief. Although noting that the former chief had taken a copy of the journal home when he left office, the police gave no motive for his wife sending the copy to the newspaper.

Yup, this is in my area.  Used to watch her on the early morning news all the time.   Pretty weird case...it gets brought up on the news every once in a while when somebody supposedly has new information about it.

Are two Hispanic females the suspects?



On a serious note, it sounds like a real abduction and probable murder. I know that local news women get stalkers pretty frequently.

There's a crime show about her that I catch from time to time on the ID channel.

She's just one of many that never get solved.

Yep, I remember as I lived up there at the time.

I'm local...heard cop involvement, stalker, drugs.  Remember seeing her at local pub from time to time.

There was a male "friend" of Jodi's who was a suspect due to his wanting more of relationship with her than she did.  She water skied and hung out with him occasionally I think I read.

I got bored and looked at similar cases on Wikipedia. It's especially weird, because she didn't have easily apparent emotional or drug problems like many of the cases.

See the disappearance of Maura Murray or the way creepier (to me at least) of Brianna Maitland.



Car left abandoned and crashed in the side of a boarded up house.

I feel like that's got to account for so many missing women. Lots of sickos out there, sadly.

Kind of like the disappearance of a twenty three year old SC woman in 1992.  Dail Dinwiddie went to a U2 concert then to a local bar and that's the last anyone saw or heard from her.  Basically no clues or traces despite massive police efforts to find her.  It's been in the news lately since it was the 25th anniversary of her disappearance.

What's in her journal pages?

Typical stuff for a young woman of her age. She discusses family, church, friends, men, and her professional life.

All the stuff I could find on it. I'm sure there's more. It's just interesting that the wife of the former chief anonymously sending the journal to the media didn't receive that much attention.

As for the girl in SC, I've heard that South Carolina is one of the states most affected by human trafficking. It seems that back then there would be much more of it than today.

I lived in Ia then.

I remember watching the show the day she disappeared, everyone on camera that day was acting really strange then when it was announced I understood why

There is too much evil out there.
