(Radio Iowa) – Friends, family and co-workers of Jodi Huisentruit (WHO-sen-troot) gathered in front of K-I-M-T T-V in downtown Mason City this morning (Friday) on the 30th anniversary her disappearance. Investigators believe someone grabbed the news anchor shortly after 4:00 a-m as she left her apartment on the way to work. A spokesperson for Huisentruit’s family who was not identified read a statement to start the event.

The family is also asking people if they know anything that could help solve the case to come forward.

Huisentruit’s close friend Ani (AH-knee) Kruse talked about spending the weekend before her disappearance in Iowa City.

Kruse hopes someone will step forward with the information that solves the case.

If anyone has information about what happened to Huisentruit, they are asked to call the Mason City Police Department at 641-421-3636 or email Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation special agent Ryan Herman at rherman@dps.state.ia.us
