Search for Jodi Huisentruit expands to Winsted, Minnesota – ABC 6 News

ABC 6 NEWS – The search for a missing Iowa news anchor has expanded to southern Minnesota.

According to the website Find Jodi, investigators from Mason City, Iowa, recently searched an area in Winsted, Minnesota — about an hour west of Minneapolis — following a lead.

Jodi Huisentruit went missing on June 27, 1995 while on her way to work in the morning. Based on evidence collected at the crime scene, police concluded that Huisentruit had been kidnapped. She hasn't been seen since.

Earlier this year, on the 29th anniversary of her disappearance, friends, family and activists gathered in Mason City to honor her. Patty Wetterling, whose son was kidnapped in 1989, spoke at the event.

“It is hard to believe that it has been almost 30 years since we last had the opportunity to talk to, hug or laugh with our dear sister, aunt and friend. When this first happened, none of us could have imagined that we would still be here, waiting for answers and justice in her case,” she said.
