NEW TWIST IN THE SEARCH FOR GLAMOUROUS TV ANCHOR: WHERE IS JODI HUISENTRUIT?

When Iowa TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit fails to show up for her morning show, coworkers know something is wrong. Huisentruit's red Mazda Miata is still in the parking lot, as well as other evidence that suggests a struggle had taken place near the car. Her personal items, a hairdryer, lipstick, and red high heel shoes, as well as a bent car key, were strewn about the area.

Police recovered an unidentified palm print from her vehicle. Neighbors report hearing screams at about the time that Huisentruit would have been leaving for work. The popular TV personality is still missing more than two decades later, but private investigator Steve Ridge has announced a new lead. He says a former girlfriend came forward claiming an initial person of interest (now deceased) confessed, "I did it." Ridge's findings were submitted to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI).The investigation remains officially open. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact the Mason City Police Department at (641) 421-3636 or submit tips to FindJodi.com
