Somewhere out there, someone knows what happened to Jodi Huisentruit. Today Jodi would have turned 58. She was a bright, warm young woman whose career as a television news anchor was just taking off when she vanished in the early morning darkness on her way to deliver the Daybreak newscast at KIMT-TV in Mason City, Iowa, on June 27, 1995.
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.

On this episode of the FindJodi Podcast, former KIMT-TV anchor and reporter Karen Fuller recounts her professional and personal memories of Jodi, including helping to move Jodi in to the same apartment complex that would be a crime scene following her abduction.
