FindJodi has released more than 30 podcast episodes on YouTube, expanding access to in-depth reporting on the unsolved abduction of KIMT-TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit. As part of FindJodi’s ongoing effort to broaden awareness and inform new audiences about Jodi's case, podcast host Scott Fuller and FindJodi Team Member Brian Wise collaborated to bring the series to YouTube.
The goal of the FindJodi.com website and podcasts is to keep Jodi Huisentruit’s case in the public spotlight through a fact-based investigative process. That means the information we share must be thoroughly accurate. Our singular focus is on finding out what happened to Jodi. Speculative, unverified rumors can be intriguing, but they are inconsistent with our goal of reporting with accuracy. As a result, we'll be shutting of post comments in the coming days.
In our latest Q&A podcast episode, FindJodi co-founder Josh Benson and team members Caroline Lowe and Scott Fuller answer your questions about our efforts and Jodi's case.
Tammy Baker was one of Jodi Huisentruit's closest Iowa friends. The two young women met in Iowa City in 1992, five years before Jodi was abducted on June 27, 1995 on her way to anchor the KIMT-TV morning news in Mason City. Tammy shares her memories of her dear friend Jodi in our latest podcast episode.
Prior to Jodi Huisentruit's disappearance on June 27, 1995, she had become close friends with fellow KIMT-TV anchor Robin Wolfram. On this episode of the FindJodi Podcast, Robin shares her recollections of Jodi.
As News Director at KIMT-TV in Mason City, Doug Merbach hired Jodi Huisentruit in 1993. In Jodi, Doug says he saw a warm and bubbly news anchor who was right at home in the Midwest. During her time at KIMT, Jodi became a popular morning and mid-day news anchor for the station. Until she mysteriously disappeared on June 27, 1995.
We hope the billboard featuring a smiling photo of Jodi Huisentruit and the message: "Don’t sit in silence…the time to talk is NOW” will convince anyone with possible information on Jodi’s abduction to come forward immediately.
On this episode of the podcast, the entire FindJodi team: Josh Benson, Tara Manis-Benson, Caroline Lowe, Jay Alberio, and Scott Fuller reflect on the past year - and 26 years - of covering and advocating for the Jodi Huisentruit case.
We hope that by turning on lights again this year, it will remind people - especially in the Mason City area - that Jodi is still missing. You can use #LightsForJodi and #FindJodi in any social media postings to help raise awareness.
When television news anchor Jodi Huisentruit failed to arrive at work on June 27, 1995, the first person to notice something was wrong was one of her colleagues. On this episode of the FindJodi podcast, former KIMT-TV producer and reporter Amy Kuns is interviewed by team members Caroline Lowe and Scott Fuller.
On what should have been a day celebrating Jodi's 53rd birthday, the thoughts of the FindJodi team are with all of those who knew Jodi in life, and especially her family.
