    66: MISSING: Jodi Huisentruit
    Nov 18 2024
    On the early morning of June 27, 1995, 27-year-old Jodi Huisentruit, a news anchor in Mason City, Iowa, overslept and rushed out the door to head to work. But she never made it in. Concerned coworkers called the police, who found Jodi’s red Mazda Miata in her apartment’s parking lot. Evidence at the scene suggested a struggle, leading police to believe Jodi had been abducted as she tried to get into her car.

    In the days that followed, search teams scoured Mason City and beyond, but no trace of Jodi was ever found. It’s been more than 29 years since Jodi disappeared, and investigators are still searching for answers…

    Jodi Huisentruit was last heard from in the early hours of June 27, 1995. At around 4:00 am, her producer called to wake her up after she had overslept, and Jodi said she would be on her way to the station. However, she never arrived.

    By 7:15 am, police had been called to her apartment complex at 550 N Kentucky Avenue in Mason City, where they found signs of a struggle near her red Mazda Miata. Her belongings were scattered in the parking lot, but Jodi was nowhere to be found.

    When police canvassed the area, they learned that a white van, possibly a mid-1980s Ford Econoline, was seen in the parking lot at around 4:30 am. It has never been located.

    Jodi is a white woman with brown eyes, standing at approximately 5'3". At the time of her disappearance, she weighed between 110 and 120 pounds and had blonde hair.

    Anyone with information on Jodi’s case can reach out to the Mason City Police Department at (641) 421-3636. Information can also be provided to the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations at (515) 725-6010.

    65: MISSING: Corrie Anderson
    Nov 11 2024
    On the afternoon of October 28, 2008, 36-year-old Corrie Anderson, a beloved mother of three, left her job at a Jamestown, New York, library and visited her fiancé at a nearby car dealership. She told him she planned to head home before picking up her son from school later that day. But Corrie never arrived, and her family quickly grew concerned.

    When they went to check on her, Corrie’s house was empty. Inside, they found fresh groceries and one of her shoes on the stairs, but both Corrie—and her van—were missing. Two days later, her van was found abandoned in a field near a wooded area close to her home. Despite extensive searches, Corrie was never found, leaving her family without answers.

    It’s been just over 16 years since Corrie disappeared, and investigators are still searching for her…

    Corrie Lynn Anderson was last seen at 1:15 p.m. on October 28, 2008, as she left the Lake County Dodge dealership in Jamestown, New York. She was supposed to go to her son’s school by 3:15 p.m., but she never arrived. When her family checked her home on Wellman Road, they found signs she had briefly returned after visiting the dealership, but Corrie was gone.

    Two days later, on October 30, her Dodge Caravan was discovered abandoned in a field near Wellman State Forest, about a half-mile walk through the woods from her home. Years later, her car keys and missing shoe were found in the same field. However, Corrie herself is still missing.

    When Corrie went missing, she was 36 years old. She stood 5’11”, weighed around 170 pounds, and had chin-length blonde hair. She has green eyes and the last time she was seen, she was wearing black corduroy pants, a black leather jacket, and small, wire-rimmed glasses.

    Anyone with information regarding Corrie’s case is asked to call the New York State Police at 716-665-3113.

    If you would like to support the search for Corrie, you can join the Facebook group, “Help Find Corrie Anderson”.

  • 64: MURDER: Judy Smith

    64: MURDER: Judy Smith
    Nov 4 2024
    On April 10, 1997, 50-year-old Judy Smith, a beloved nurse and mother, set off on her first trip to Philadelphia, planning to explore historic sites while her husband attended a conference. But when Judy didn’t return to their hotel that evening, her husband grew worried and reported her missing. Months passed without a word from Judy.

    Then, in September, hunters stumbled upon her remains over 600 miles away in a remote part of North Carolina. Judy had been murdered, her body wrapped in a blanket and left in a shallow grave.

    It’s been over 27 years since Judy was murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible...

    Judy Smith left her Philadelphia hotel on April 10, 1997 and never returned. Months later, on September 7, hunters in the Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, North Carolina, discovered Judy’s remains partially buried in a shallow grave. Her body was over 600 miles from where she was last seen, dressed in clothing her family did not recognize.

    If you have any information about the murder of Judy, please contact the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department at 828-250-6670.
