Caroline Lowe
Veteran crime reporter Caroline Lowe joined the FindJodi.com team in 2011, after leaving her 34-year career at WCCO-TV in the Twin Cities to become KSBY-TV’s Santa Barbara County, California, newsroom manager.
Lowe returned to her roots as a reporter in 2015 when she did two investigative series on missing persons and unidentified human remains for KSBY. As part of the investigation, Lowe created the most comprehensive database of missing persons on the California Central Coast.
In 2015, she also began working special assignment for KARE 11-TV in Minnesota on the Jacob Wetterling abduction case.
Lowe has an extensive background covering cold cases. She has filed numerous reports regarding the disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit and the abduction of Jacob Wetterling. While at WCCO, her I-Team reports garnered national attention. Her work has appeared on Oprah, “48 Hours,” 20/20, Court TV and Forensic Files.
Lowe’s decision to join FindJodi.com came from her dedication to missing persons and cold cases, along with her persistence in never giving up finding the truth.
Lowe graduated with a B.S. in Law Enforcement from Metropolitan State University and earned a M.A. in Police Leadership from the University of St. Thomas.
In addition to being a reporter, Lowe has a private investigator license in California. She spent two weeks for eight summers as a patrol officer at the Minnesota State Fair and graduated in 2010 from the FBI Citizen’s Academy in Minneapolis. Lowe still maintains an inactive Minnesota police officer’s license.
Since moving to California, Lowe attended the Petaluma Police Department’s Citizen’s Academy and served as a volunteer for a couple of years, focusing on crime prevention.
Lowe is a 2013 graduate of the Poynter Institute’s Leadership Academy.
Lowe is an award-winning journalist. Most recently, she was inducted into the 2025 Minnesota Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
She’s also received the Alfred I. DuPont Columbia Award for a WCCO-TV I-Team series on the Minneapolis police downtown foot patrol, along with two Regional Emmy awards, a Sweepstake Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, two Associated Press awards and a UPI award. Her I-Team investigation of a convicted rapist earned Lowe a Minnesota Associated Press Broadcasters Award for Best Documentary/Investigative work.
In 1986, Lowe was awarded the Minnesota Association of Crime Victims Media Attention Service Award, the first time that award was given to a member of the media.
Lowe has also been recognized for volunteer work that included creating a reading program for children visiting their parents at the Hennepin County Jail and helping to furnish a private waiting room at the Minneapolis Police Department for sexual assault victims.
She is a member of the Investigative and Reporters and Editors (IRE) organization and a member of the California Association of Licensed Investigators (CALI).
Lowe is married to a former journalist and has four children. She resides in California where she is a volunteer at her grandchildren’s elementary school.
