27 Years: Jodi Huisentruit Has Been Gone As Many Years As She Was Alive

Jodi celebrating her 27th birthday in June 1995.

June 27th is always a difficult day for Jodi Huisentruit’s family, friends and former colleagues. It marks another year with no answers to what happened to Jodi.

This 27th anniversary of the disappearance of the young Iowa news anchor is especially poignant: Jodi has now been gone as many years as she was alive.

“We have our moments when we are very sad, bitter, and angry that this has happened to our ‘Little Sue,’ as we affectionately called her,” Jodi’s family said in a statement. “She had such a bright future ahead of her, and she should be here every day enjoying it.”

Jodi celebrated her 27th birthday just a few weeks before she was abducted on her way to anchor the morning news at KIMT-TV in Mason City, as she was getting into her car just outside her apartment building.

For the past 27 years, Jodi’s family has marked birthdays, holidays and other significant occasions with no sign of the Long Prairie, MN, native.

If you have any information about what happened to Jodi, don’t make her loved ones wait another year for answers, for justice.
