Jodi Huisentruit

A new $100,000 reward is being offered for information on a Minnesota television anchor who disappeared nearly 29 years ago.

Jodi Huisentruit is originally from Long Prairie and was last seen in Mason City, Iowa, where she worked as a morning and midday anchor.

A private investigator who has worked on the case since 2019 is now offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Huisentruit. He had already offered a $50,000 reward.

The $100,000 reward is only valid until June 27, the 29th anniversary of Huisentruit’s disappearance. After that, it comes to $50,000.

Steve Ridge, who is offering the reward, told Forum News Service that he did not expect to find Huisentruit alive, but that the reward was specifically to recover her remains.
