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 20/20, Oprah, 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.

In addition to being a reporter, Lowe has 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 is an award-winning journalist. She’s received the Alfred I. DuPont Columbia Award, two Regional Emmy awards, a Sweepstake Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, two Associated Press awards and a UPI award.

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.
