$100,000 reward now offered for information on missing Iowa news anchor Jodi Huisentruit
MASON CITY, Iowa (KCRG) – A private investigator is offering a reward of $100,000 for the recovery of the remains of a missing Iowa news anchor.
In June, Jodi Huisentruit will have been missing for 29 years. She failed to show up to work in Mason City on July 27th 1995, and hasn’t been seen since.
Police believe she was abducted on her way to work. They found signs of a struggle outside the car she was driving, and her belongings were left behind, including a bent car key.
No arrests have been made in the case, and Jodi’s whereabouts remain unknown.
She was legally declared dead in 2001.
Private Investigator Steve Ridge announced Thursday he’s doubling the reward for information leading to the recovery of Huisentruit’s remains. He had been offering a reward of $50,000 in the case since last year. Now that reward is up to $100,000.
“This is my final attempt to break the silence of those who are withholding information”, Ridge said in a news release. “Jodi’s family, friends and the entire Mason City community deserve to know what happened to this budding young media superstar.”
He says the offer will be good through June 27, the anniversary of Huisentruit’s disappearance.
