A reflection on a life cut short...

...the story of TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit who went missing on June 27 1995. Jodi left her apartment early June 27th, and was on her way to work at KIMT-TV in Mason City, Iowa. Jodi never showed up that morning, which is when the story began...At the scene they found her keys, shoes, hairspray and other items sprawled out near her red mazda miata. It's been 13 years since Jodi went missing and a long list of suspects and leads have turned up nothing.

On a personal note: This story was very difficult for me to write and put together. Jodi once worked at a station I'm currently a journalist at which means I was able to look at old tapes of her time here. Seeing someone with undeniable talent and beauty that reaches far beyond face value is inspiring and yet knowing she wasn't able to ever reach her full potential is heart breaking...I often think and pray for Jodi, her friends and family and for the person who did this, that they may come forward so that the family can finally have some closure.

**Interesting Note** I was watching one of Jodi's videos...she had covered a story on grief support groups....in her own words..."mourning has no set time span in which healing takes place."

Thanks for all the comments. She is still missing.

I remember watching her on the news almost everyday as a little kid sitting at my grandparents coffee table. I also remember when she went missing and they were putting yellow ribbons up for her. The whole southern MN and northern IA areas wait for some kind of closure.

Cop says cops did it. Google Maria Ohl.

@TheNikitabug Wrong, if you knew anything about handling a rifle, you would know what i meant, a Winchester rifle can be disassembled into 12 parts and certain parts are stored in the freezer for cooling, i still got no idea what you meant sorry.

@TheNikitabug Seriously, wth is your problem you crazy bitch??! Why do you bother me about how i handle my guns, what a bitch!

[MantaRayOfDoom]

@TheNikitabug Seriously i was referring to my favorite Winchester rifle of 10 years which i love like my wife! They are all assembled in 12 parts, which i discarded for good a couple of years back, she was my babe, what did you think i was talking about?

@LuggNutz09 Jodi had a huge cocaine problem? I never heard that on any of the shows I have watched about her. Do you think a drug dealer did this? I think it was a stalker.

Rest in peace, Jodi.
