I agree, it goes back to the around and around I go that someone made a thread about 6 months or so ago. For some reason this case keeps going in circles back to one spot. Coincidence? IDK. All I know is that if this case does start at square one that many of us think it did, then Jodi is very close to the Mason City area - maybe even inside city limits. I'd like to see more information put out about the search after Jodi went missing. Where did they search and how? Did the police record what areas were searched? Or was it a pretty informal search with a bunch of volunteers? Where did they focus their searches? Josh, Gary, if you guys have any information about the search itself, I think that's probably one of the most valuable pieces of information we need.

Sure, doing an interview here and there keeps an interest in the case. But it's not going to crack this case. The one thing that will crack it is finding Jodi. I personally believe there needs to be an effort in trying to narrow down places where the culprit could have put her. With all the tools at our disposal this day and age (google earth overlays, GPS, etc.) it could happen. I wonder if the police have organized in this way to try to find her.

With all that has been discussed lately about someone hiring someone to abduct her it again lead me back to a suspect brought up before.

Several years ago a few of us held a seance in MC and when we asked who, a name came out of nowhere. The police in the past have tried to find evidence against him and his sidekick, but so far havent made the connection. These are two nasty men that might have jumped at the chance to abducted her for someone else.

There were some comments in that interview someone has been asking about that lead us to wonder if someone got someone to abduct her and took it personal when things happened like they did.

So, when you talk about things going around and around in this case I hope it stops at the persons responsible and ends with the police discovering more evidence against them and a conviction.

And yes, she may be found within the city limits in the end. In the beginning a ton of psychics from all over the country said she was near and asking, "Why cant they see me."

You keep saying that Vinny, but I haven’t seen you or the police solving this case either!!!

I have gone to great expense to go to Mason City to search over the years!!! Have you??? Driven hundreds of miles, spent money on gas and motels. Talked to a lot of people encluding law enforcement. I have given contributions to this web site regularly as well. Taken scores of pictures and posted them in flickr so anyone could see some of the search areas and yes maybe a psychic could who might get impressions off any of those pictures. I have been on this case from almost the beginning on my own. 15 years!!! I have not given up.

I have kept an open mind to other peoples’ thoughts, ideas, and yes visions and dreams.
I helped police find a boy after having a vision of the missing boy hiding behind pop boxes in a grocery store. Helped a father whose son was missing because of a dream I had where I saw his son and what happened to him before he accidently made a wrong turn and died. When they found him a couple of months later after the river thawed he was where I had told them... the insensitive police there told the father his son committed suicide. The father told me later how he knew they were wrong because of what I had told him months before and was glad I had helped.

When you start picking on those in this form because you don’t agree or like their methods you don’t accomplish anything other than appear insensitive.

I have had a place in mind where she is that I really want to dig. It was discovered in 1998 and not only looked suspicious, but was described by several psychics within the first 5 years. It was an area that was covered with gravel in the shape of a grave. Someone with me started to dig with their bare hands but I stopped them. A few years later I checked it again and someone had dumped more gravel on it. This place is among trees and there would be no reason for them to haul the rocks in there and cover that area of 6’ by 4’. The location is within 5 miles of Jodi’s apartment.

Ok, we heard you again, you hate psychics. But regardless Jodi will be found when God wants her to be found and not before. Oh, wait maybe you don't believe in God either. It aint over until it’s over and she is found. No matter what you think!!!

It's pretty easy to see that this case can get very frustrating with everyone at times. We have alot of good people working the case and doing what they can to help. What is frustrating is not getting answers to questions that people post all the time. I realize that some questions have no answers but some people know the answer and some don't and then there are those that think they are tied to the police dept or something because they think it's confidential or secret info that they can't pass along. Let me tell you something folks the MCPD is never going to release anything confidential to the public so anything that all of us little cyber detectives come across and post isn't going to damage the case in any way. If anything.. all it will do is stir things up a little which can be a good thing. In my opinion the interview with Amy was the best thing I've seen come across the site in along time. Now if we could only get corn seed guy to step up to the plate and do an interview! That interview could last days but that's what happens after 16 years of unanswered questions surrounding him. We need a question & answer forum on the site and people willing to give the answer if they know it.
