"GRACE: Now, interesting, the case seemingly goes cold, goes dead for a while, and it fades away from the public view. But then, amazingly, one of the local newspapers gets ahold of Jodi Huisentruit`s diary and actually is printing portions of it.
S
o the big controversy arises. How did they get Jodi Huisentruit`s diary? Because, see, that had to come from the crime scene. So there was a big drama. Did they get it from the killer? Did they get it from the kidnapper? Was it found somewhere that could lead to who`s the killer, who`s the kidnapper?
Well, after it blew up in the media, it turns out the wife of the police chief got the diary and mailed it to the newspaper.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Journal entries were very much like this.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Three weeks ago,
"The Mason City Globe Gazette" got a mysterious envelope marked, "Attention to Bob Link (ph)." He`s the paper`s police and courts reporter. The envelope was postmarked Waterloo, Iowa, but had no name or return address.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s kind of eerie but yet somewhat exciting to have something that, you know, the public hasn`t seen.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In it were pages of Jodi Huisentruit`s final journal entries. Police confirmed its authenticity, so the paper decided to print it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pretty much summed up who she was at that time of her life, in the last year, in the last days.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE:
Mason City`s chief of police confirmed there was a journal taken from her apartment after she disappeared almost 13 years ago. There are only three known copies, all in the hands of authorities.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I can say that we know that the copy that they received did not come from our case file and it did not come from the DCI`s case file, OK? And we haven`t talked with the FBI, so -- but I`m confident, too, that it didn`t come with theirs.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lashbrooke (ph) explains there are stamps, punchholes and other marks on the journal in their files. A copy of that would be obvious.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE:
Now, as a kind of a sidebar to this whole investigation, is where did the copy come from? Who sent it? Why?"
