Two Parking Lots Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

Jodi Huisentruit was living on the top floor of Building C of the Key Apartments in Mason City, Iowa, when she was attacked and abducted in the parking lot at about 4:30 AM on June 27, 1995.
The KIMT-TV anchor had lived there for about 18 months.
Jodi was running late for work that day, and it’s believed that Jodi’s abductor may have been waiting for her in the parking lot, due to the short distance between the entrance to Jodi’s building and her car – just 10 to 12 steps.
The Key Apartments complex has three residential buildings and two parking lots.
On this episode of the FindJodi podcast, the team shares witness accounts we’ve gathered from other residents of the complex in 1995, which might shed some light on what happened to Jodi before sunrise 26 years ago.
Anyone with information about Jodi’s case can reach out to the Mason City Police Department at (641) 421-3636. Information can also be provided to the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations at (515) 725-6010 or dciinfo@dps.state.ia.us.

The White Van May 20, 2021

Show notes

A white van has been referenced in connection with Jodi Huisentruit's disappearance countless times since she was taken from the parking lot of her apartment complex on June 27, 1995.
The van is mentioned in the timeline so often it’s practically become a fact of the case. As one of Jodi’s co-workers said 10 years after she vanished: “white vans still trigger something in my head.”
But the truth is, we don’t know for sure what Jodi’s abductor(s) drove that morning.
Anyone with information about Jodi’s case can reach out to the Mason City Police Department at (641) 421-3636. Information can also be provided to the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations at (515) 725-6010 or dciinfo@dps.state.ia.us.
