QuoteI'm sure MCPD runs the palm print through IAFIS to check for a match or similarities periodically but I wonder if they collected the blood evidence at the scene so they could run it through CODIS ( DNA )? They can do so much these days with very little evidence and many cold cases have been solved this way. Of course if all the blood or the print was Jodi's then it wouldn't help much but still well worth the try.
I'm sure MCPD has a suspect in mind which probably matches mine and several others gut feelings on here. It's just too hard to discount how "Arizona" handled himself in the beginning of the investigation. I really think he is the key to solving this case...maybe not directly involved but knows exactly what happened any why in my opinion.

Can't type today I guess. At the end of the post I meant "knows exactly what happened and why". Also I bet LE would love to put him in the "pressure cooker" so to speak if they only had enough evidence to justify doing so.

There isn't a so called 'palm print database' to run the palm print they have through. Most police departments only take fingerprints because it simply cost too much money. Only in the last few years have police departments started taking palm prints and the departments that do are far and inbetween.
As for blood, I've never heard of there being substantial DNA evidence at the crime scene. I'm sure there was but the MCPD seems to have kept some of it under wraps. Where did you hear that, or is it just a common known fact around Mason City?
If there was blood, it would have been Jodi's because she was obviously struck from behind trying to get to her car. She had no chance to defend herself by the time she was struck.
The question I have about the evidence is which direction were the heel drag marks leading towards? I think the direction of the heal drag marks would be able to eliminate the idea of the white van which I think is bogus.

Heel drag marks would also maybe point to an attacker weaker or maybe smaller than JODI. I mean, if you're going to attack an abduct someone right in front of there home, which is a populated and close quarter area (i.e. apartments) you would want to be able move quickly to avoid being seen or noticed.
You would also want to know that you could physically carry whoever you are targeting. If there were drag marks, we would most likely have to be looking for someone of equal if not smaller size than Mrs. Huisentruit. Someone of larger size and who's desperation and who's adrinaline is already MAXED would no dought want to really be moving. Heel drag marks just don't fit with that description. A larger attacker would simply throw her over his or her shoulder and be gone.
Haist and heel marks are big clues that could give a good and plausable discription of her abductors I believe. I'm sure these things have already been considered and tossed around by the professionals.

I was talking about simply running the blood evidence from the palm print thru the DNA database. You just never know what happened and if Jodi had a quick chance to draw blood or not while fighting back. Hopefully they checked it out just to eliminate possibilities.
1:53 pm
Does anyone know if police ever checked the palm print with Honken or Johnson?
7:11 pm
I read that they eliminated a potential suspect because his palm print didn't match the print at the scene.
I wonder if they've tried to match the palm print to any of the other suspects, or if palm prints are just used to exclude suspects, not to definitively implicate someone.
Does anyone know?

I know its been said before, but the bloody print could have very well been Jodi's so none of the suspects would match it.

Was it a "bloody palmprint" or just a "palmprint?" If just a palmprint, it could be anyone's - someone walking by who leaned against the car, etc.
I have always believed the cops failed to do a proper job of collecting the evidence at the crime scene. The fact, too, that they did not do a thorough search of "Arizona" is very telling. For God's sake, he was a boyfriend and was the last person to see her the night before. A very big error, in my opinion. And when Arizona states he was cleared by a lie detector test, who conducted it? Police or did he hire someone himself? I will always believe he was involved. The consensus of even her own friends and co-workers believe he is the main suspect.

Meant to say "a thorough search of Arizona's home and vehicle."

Completely agree with Simon's post regarding the suspect. To me, there's very little mystery about who did it.

I would love to converse with you on a private basis.
