Here is a link to an obit from 2002...Someone posted it on the findjodi.com website under the "Possibilities" thread. The deceased has the initials DDH...I found it intriguing that the person who is mentioned as a "close friend", is the brother of a co-workero of Jodi's...
In the end, the innuendo of the relationship between the deceased and this guy tends to discount that, IF he is the one who wrote the letters to Jodi, then it was most likely innocent and unrelated to the case...

I noted that on the morning Jodi disappeared, she was running late for work due to reportedly oversleeping. Reports say she was called by a station employee at approximately 4:00 A.M. when she had not appeared for work. I didn't see what time she would normally arrive at the station. If a stalker or predator was in the parking lot that morning, you might think that person would have been surprised that her vehicle was still in the lot - given that a stalker may have become familar with Jodi's schedule (as you might think such a person might have). Why, on a morning when Jodi was running late, did that person choose to carry out the horrible act? Could it have been because she was hurriedly moving toward her vehilce, perhaps carrying extra items along in that apparent haste and not taking needed care in watching her surroundings? Could that have spurred the predator/stalker to act at that time?

I believe Jodi had to be at the station at 3:30am. Her stalker would have been waiting for her to come out for over a half hour....
 
The fact that she "overslept" the same day she was abducted is the kind of "coincidence" I'm never comfortable with. It is inconceivable that a predator just "happened" to be lurking about in her parking lot at 4:30 AM. It was obviously someone who knew her routine was "laying in wait". I just wonder how likely it would be for such a predator to wait over an hour past her "normal" go to work time.

There seems to be a very real possibility that Jodi was being held in her apartment when her boss called and the "signs" of abduction at her vehicle was just staging. This possibility is strengthened by the fact that there was reporting of someone "pounding" on her door the night before and the toilet seat was found in the "up" position.

One on the "signs" of abduction at the vehicle was the "bent" key in her door-lock. I can't see any reasonable way that an abduction would result in the key getting bent. The only way to use a key is to hold it between your thumb and forefinger so you can turn it with your wrist. There is just no way can I find that a key held this way would get bent when the person holding it was grabbed or hit. The only way to bend a key in the door-lock is to push on it with a lot of force. It would be most easily done with the palm of the hand but a very strong person could do it with their thumb. Of course, during a struggle, there is the chance that the key in the door-lock was hit by an errant movement of the attackers’ hand, but it seems unlikely. I think there is a good chance it was staging.

The obvious purpose of staging would be to make her disappearance look like a "stranger abduction" rather than an abduction by someone she let into her apartment. This would divert attention away from both her "circle of acquaintances" and her apartment.
My big question is: "was her apartment given full 'crime scene' treatment?"

Your theory is supported in an forensic astrology chart analysis posted here:

http://forensicastrology.blogspot.com/2011/08/jodi-huisentruit.html

In everything i have heard about in this case, the idea that the abduction may have begun in her apt. is not a highly considered one, nor the idea that the items around Jodi's car were staged; I see your point of the bent key very strongly.

From the intro to the analysis:

"I did this case for a private party but I wanted to do it for the blog because Jodi was well known in her area and many people are still trying to close this case. I used slightly different information for the private reading than I did for the blog post because I used the information given to me by the client in the private case and in this one I used Wikipedia. I wanted to use a source for information that all my readers could access. Anyways, there are some discrepancies in my findings as a result of the differences in details given to me from both sources."

I am the private party who requested that analysis. I gave more detailed info than found on the wikipedia source she cites.

That first analysis i posted is at the link below. Its the second post in the thread.
This first analysis seems even closer to your theory:

It is the second post.
 
It is an interesting assumption that Jodi was being held in her apartment when the 4:00 A.M. telephone call from the TV station came in. To begin with, this would explain her being late that morning. Of course, it also does bring some other questions. Such as: Why did she answer her phone at all since she was subject to doing so by the intrudor(s)? Why would she have said she will be there (again with the thought that the intrudor(s) would probably have instructed her what to say) rather than "I'm ill and won't be coming in." which would have seemingly opened up more of a time frame for her absence that may not have caused undue concern by those she worked with?

Were there any signs of forced entry at her apartment from that morning? If the abductor(s) had gotten in in that manner, it might have helped show she did not admit them as she might have if she knew them.

There is also the question of,,,,Could Jodi have been met in the parking lot as she left for work and forced back into her apartment?

Wow this article was just posted today:

A former Mason City police officer said Thursday two Mason City police officers and a retired law enforcement officer may have been involved in the abduction and possible murder of Jodi Huisentruit.

Her claims are far more startling and unnerving then just the simple ( in comparison) complaints she has had against her fellow employees and employer in her past years prior to being fired.

Perhaps this is her way of getting back OR, perhaps it's just her own suspicions of men in general, in particular, men she worked with and didn't care for.

Only time will tell if the allegations have any merit whatsoever.

It's a (so far) "he says, she says" allegations from what I can see.

Or "she says, and they say".

They either fired her because they see her as a loose cannon OR because they truly are hiding something.

Seems the former is more realistic at this point.

Thanks for posting the update.
 
Interesting. Is this merely a case of an out-of-control employee or a police officer that really knows something about this missing case? That the news media has picked up on it and has printed the story makes you wonder.
 
I remember hearing about Jodi's case when I was just a little girl and lived only about 2 hours from Mason City. I found this link: http://www.kimt.com/content/localne...tigators-Possibly/Fg1qPcdUSEqcWEJ-MUFcdw.cspx

I am not for sure what to believe :waitasec:, it seems like this woman could be just a disgruntled employee, but why bring Jodi's case into the mix? Something doesn't pass the 'smell' test in this case.
 
Not only is is upsetting to think that law enforcement persons could be involved with the disappearance - and perhaps other crimes - involving a citizen, but even more important that the person was a TV news reporter.

Were these three men law enforcement officers at the time of the disappearance in 1995 or did they start those jobs afterward? Are they alleged to have been directly involved in the abuction and disappearance or is the allegation that they failed to follow up on the information that was suppled to them in more recent years?

Had Jodi Huiestriot done a report that had made those officers or their police department look bad or was she planning on doing one?

The first two men were the investigators on Jodi's case from the very beginning. They are both mentioned and quoted in Beth Bednar's book "Dead Air", about Jodi's case.

"She says it implicates two current members of the police force in particular, but she doesn't know if they were involved directly in Huisentruit's disappearance, or indirectly by covering up evidence during the investigation."

http://www.kimt.com/content/localne...tigators-Possibly/Fg1qPcdUSEqcWEJ-MUFcdw.cspx

It is doubtful Jodi was doing any kind of story on corrupt LE or anything hardhitting like that.
 
Anyone care to guess the size of the Mason City PD? If just a few were involved in this, that'd be a good percentage.
Good God, no wonder this case was never solved. The bad thing is, it makes me wonder about some other cases I have researched and if LE officials were plahying both sides in those.
 
"Yes, we've got trouble my friend, Right here in River City"

In 2006 in her well written Blog "True Crime Diary", Michelle McNamara wrote about a "comment" that someone wrote in a message board about the Huisentruit case. The writer suggested that someone "check out the policeman who gave her a speeding ticket the year before". I have no idea who wrote the comment, it could have been Ohl herself, but the idea that a local cop might be involved has been floating around for a while.

Besides the local LE rumor, the book "Dead Air" apparently directs some suspicion at a local acquaintance of Jodi's who has been in some way "linked" to other murderess. There was a local couple who were big Drug dealers at the time and apparently ended up on Death Row for killing some suspected "informers". There was a suspicious "suicide" of a close friend of Jodi's just a few weeks before her abduction. In addition, several mid-western serial killers have been named as possible Perps. The Perp obviously either knew her or took the time to know her comings and goings.

I really don't know what to believe; who's a crackpot, who can be trusted. This story is starting to heat up. Perhaps an outside agency can investigate the matter.
 
I also wonder about the police escort that supposedly Jodi used a few times after she suspected of being followed by a stalker (?)..
I only mention this because this officer would be well aware of her schedule...In fact, if he was ever noticed in the area that morning, he could use the excuse he was cursorily checking around Jodi's apt bldg because of this reason...
