Wood County Sheriff working with Mason City PD on possible suspect connection(WSAW)
June 27 2025
''Last year, as part of our Forgotten Podcast series, we looked into the case and how it could be connected to the murder of a Wisconsin Rapids woman.

Jodi Huisentruit and Deidre Harm went missing, but their cases are 11 years apart.

Deidre was last seen on the night of June 10, 2006. She wanted a night out in downtown Wisconsin Rapids, but she never made it back to her apartment.

Her body was found five months later in a wooded area west of Wisconsin Rapids.''

''NewsChannel 7 spoke with the Wood County Sheriff’s Department and the Mason City Police Department last year. They believe one man, Christopher Revak, is responsible for both cases.''

I would like to further comment on information I know about this case... the information I know of is not in any way relation to SAR work.

Wis Rapids is a small town, everyone knows everyone who is a year older and a year younger. We have 1 public high school here. I went to school with Deidre. My cousin however was one of her very close friends. If my cousins Grandpa's funeral been any other day my cousin would have been downtown at the bars with Diedre that night.

A little background info that I am not sure you will find on any news articles that can easily be found (newspapers.com) might be the only way to verify this... but here in Wood County, specifically Wisconsin Rapids we had a massive amount of people busted for drugs. When I am saying massive im talking at least 100+ people were arrested. Many of them it was charges related to marijuana. But there were a few people who caught narcotic charges.

My cousin had heard Diedre might have been an informant in relation to that drug bust that happened. There is no proof of that anywhere. But it always will cross my mind that Diedre might have lost her life over something more than just accidentally running into a serial killer that night.

Based on evidence its believed Deidre was severely injured/possibly killed in Revaks vehicle before she was dumped.

The biggest thing I want people to know is Revak took her to a place he grew up partying at in his younger years. A place he was familiar with! Anyone who was a teenager before 2010 and wanted to go out have a bonfire, go mudding and partied all went out to what locals call Blueberry Ridge. Its County owned property with old logging trails just outside of town.

What I also know and im not sure if I can find a link to verify this but Revak when arrested did have articles about Diedre in his house! I would be curious to know if he had articles about Jodi as well.

When Revaks ex lived there, it would be interesting to know what or where did people who were around his age do for "fun" there? With Diedre he went back to someplace he was well familiar with!

After he dumped her body he never went back to move her. At least no based on anything I've heard from what my cousin knows who frequently spoke to Diedres dad. Animals had scavenger her body by the time she was located.

For those who think looking into CR should be looked at harder, the best advice I can give is to figure out what was the "fun" things people around his age did when his ex was still living there. That might be a good place if people wanted to conduct searches.

Reminder that Jodi's documentary is available on Hulu now. Good recap and some new info; but not earth shattering.

I think the three-episode series is well done and a good update. Episode 2 contained the most “new to me” information. I’m so glad the earnest Mason City detective is still working hard on Jodi’s case and that her relatives, friends, and former colleagues have not given up.

Is this either new or correct, if not I'll delete it:

New person of interest revealed in 1995 vanishing of beloved Iowa news anchor: documentary​

This story is the subject of Episode 2 in the Hulu documentary that just became available yesterday. Thanks for sharing!

It's interesting. That is obviously what prompted the search in Winsted last fall. It could just be he made a regrettable phone call that spooked his ex wife or maybe there's more to it? Hmm.

I am watching the just released 3-part documentary about the disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit. I have been interested in them solving her attack. I have just started the 2nd part and am learning new things. The trailer spoke about new information that "might" help find her or her attacker. I am watching on Hulu, but it is listed in quite a few places. Just in case you are interested.

Somehow I missed that you all were already discussing this documentary and didn't need my input. Please get a moderator to delete my repitious post. I so want Jodi's whereabouts and attacker solved.

''The latest development centers around Brad Millerbernd, the ex-husband of Huisentruit’s childhood best friend, Patty Niemeyer. In the Hulu documentary, Niemeyer tells filmmakers that a police sketch of a possible suspect shown for the first time showcased an eerie resemblance to Millerbernd.

“I see Brad Millerbernd. That is him to a T,” Patty stated in the docuseries.
Millerbernd, who lived approximately three hours from Huisentruit’s apartment, reportedly had dinner with her in the fall before her disappearance. According to Niemeyer, he also placed a call to Jodi just weeks before she vanished. Despite these revelations, Millerbernd has denied any involvement and has shown full cooperation with law enforcement, which includes providing DNA samples and also taking a polygraph test.''

A sketch?!

I may have memory issues but I don't recall any previous reference to a sketch of a suspicious individual hanging around the apartment.

Jodi's friend's life was utterly destroyed by police attention on him, and all this time they had a sketch of someone else?
