Joanne, thank you for 43 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: being with us. Well, thank you again for having me, Joanne. 44 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: It's unfathomable to me how someone that is so present 45 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: in the lives of her local TV community can just disappear. 46 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: It's like someone just cut off the TV and she's 47 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: gone and that's the end of it. It seems very 48 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: very surreal. Yeah, we never, you know, anticipated anything like 49 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: it's ever happening. We thought Jody would be safe in 50 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Mason City. It wasn't that big of a community, and 51 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: she she took a lot of safety courses and stuff, 52 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: and she she was careful, she really was. She wanted 53 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: to have a good reputation in the community, and um, yeah, 54 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: we were just stunned. I mean when when it happened 55 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: in ninety five. And of course it's been really hard 56 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: on everybody, not just the family, it's friends. Um, she 57 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: meant a lot to so many people do you remember 58 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: when you first learned Jodie was missing. Yeah, I remember 59 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: it very well. Well. We were on a bus trip 60 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: up north, my mom and aunt just um oh, with 61 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: a group of ladies, you know, and UM we were 62 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: going to this casino because UM ninety five the casinos 63 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: well they had started prior to ninety five. But anyway, 64 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: it was going to be a fun day. And so 65 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: we were up in Walker, Minnesota, and then they asked 66 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: us to come to UM the room and we got 67 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: there and that there was an emergency phone call. It 68 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: was shortly after we arrived, and so we came in 69 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: and they said made it's from Mason City. And right 70 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: away my mom said, oh, no Jody. And we thought 71 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: maybe she'd been in a car accident. That I thought, 72 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: and she'll be okay, you know, she'll But then when 73 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: m Halverson said, oh, she's missing, Joanne, are you sitting down? Um, 74 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: and I said missing, Well, we'll find her, you know, 75 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: there's some mistake. Why would she be missing, you know. 76 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: But then we got pretty nervous and about it all, 77 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: of course, and we left. They provided a vehicle for 78 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: us to go back to Long Purry. They brought us. 79 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: It was quite a drive too, but yeah, it was 80 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: very hard. And then we got back and nobody had 81 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: found her, you know, by the end of the day, 82 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: and so then we were getting very worried. But we 83 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: thought it'd be that it was some kind of a mistake, 84 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: that she would be found and she'd be okay. That 85 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: their original thought, you know, to doctor Jerry Cross in 86 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: psychologist Faculties, Saint Leo University joining Us, Doctor Jry, I 87 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: know I'm projecting right now, but I've also seen it 88 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: with many, many other crime victims. When I first was 89 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: told my fiancee was dead, at first, I thought there 90 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: was some kind of a mix up and if I 91 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: could just get to him, I could fix it, and 92 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: I could get him to the hospital and everything will 93 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: be okay. I thought there'd been a car crash, just 94 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: like what Joe and Nathey is saying about Jody Houston's 95 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: truth and I know you hear her saying, well, we 96 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: thought it was a car accident. Then we thought, missing, well, 97 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: there's just some mix up. We're gonna fix this. Why 98 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: does our mind where do our minds go to something 99 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: that we can comprehend, Like I couldn't comprehend that Keith 100 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: had been shot five times in the face and the 101 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: neck and the head and the back. That was hard 102 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: for me. That would never have occurred to me. Then 103 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: that could have happened, just like with Joeann Nathan, Jodie's 104 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: sister Shemily thought, Oh, there's been a car crash missing. 105 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: What this is wrong? We're gonna We're gonna get this 106 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: all straightened out. Why is that? What is that? It 107 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: starts off as like a protective mechanism for ourselves, you know, 108 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: to try to make some positive sense out of it. 109 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: You know, the term we use as closure, uh, And 110 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: it's not like closing up the you know, the event, 111 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: but it's trying to make sense out of ambiguity. And 112 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, you think, well, maybe it was a car accident. 113 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: They're okay, they're going to be found. You continue to 114 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: put the positive perspective on it and it helps kind 115 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: of keep you stabilized so as you take in more information, 116 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: you can you know, better sess it and apply it 117 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: to the situation. Is there some sort of a defense mechanism, Well, 118 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: I call it more of a protective mechanism, you know, 119 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: trying to keep you know, that stress level down so 120 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: you can keep a rational cognitive process going on with 121 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: the information that you're taking in. Some people they react, 122 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, just where they totally break down and you 123 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: know they're not able to do anything. Guys, take a 124 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: listen to our friend Ross Curis k STP TV. Sounded 125 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: like I had just woken her up. Amy Kohon's called 126 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: Jody's apartment at four am the morning Jody disappeared. I 127 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: wondered if anything was going on, like maybe somebody was 128 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: in her apartment, you know. I listened for other voices. 129 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: Jody had said she had overslept and would be right 130 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: in at four twenty that morning. Tenants here screams in 131 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the parking lot. Jody has never heard from again. I 132 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: honestly feel like I listened to every tiny little detail 133 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: and nothing sounded out of the ordinary. Police found Jody's keys, shoes, 134 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: and earrings scattered next to her sports car, their only 135 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: physical evidence.

You've 140 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: been on the case for some time. Let's start at 141 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: the beginning. What do we know of the last time 142 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: that Jody was seen alive? No way, No, let's start 143 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: with the scene. Let's start with her place where she was. 144 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: What do we know. What we know is it appears 145 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: that whatever happened to Jody happened in the parking lot 146 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: right adjacent to her building. It looks like they're about 147 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: twelve steps from Jody's building to her car. That she 148 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: was most likely ambushed attack from behind. Okay, right, are 149 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: you talking about her building where she lived or her 150 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: building where she worpped retired from where she was running late? 151 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: As we heard Amy Coon's, her producer say, she was 152 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: running late and so she's rushing to her car. She's 153 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: carrying her things she needs to get ready her work. 154 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Most likely her hair was wet being so late, and 155 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: she had a blow dryer with her. Somebody attacked her 156 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: from behind, and from all signs that we can tell, 157 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: there were signs of a struggle. She was dragged easterly 158 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: according to the police. You know what, I got to 159 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: break everything down that you're saying, not in a bad way, 160 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: Caroline Alow, in a good way, but I'm drinking from 161 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: the fire hydrant right now. Too much, too fast. That's 162 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: a lot of information. And Caroline Alow, you're one of 163 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: the experts in this case, along with Jay Alberio and 164 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: Joe and Nathy, so the rest of us are playing 165 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: catch up with you.

I got 168 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: to go through it one fact at a time and 169 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: digest it and trying to make sense of it. Guys 170 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: were walking about a beautiful TV anchor that goes missing, 171 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: Jody Houston Trout. Take a listen to our friend Jim Axelrod, 172 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: the anchor of KIMT six am newscast. She usually arrived 173 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: at work by three thirty in the morning. If she's 174 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: not there between three and foguer calls a hair are 175 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: you awake? Producer Amy Coons noticed nothing unusual, and she 176 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: called and whooped Jody up about ten after four that morning. 177 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: She was asking about the show. She was concerned about 178 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: the show, and she said, I'll be right there, But 179 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: in five thirty, still no Jody. And this being a 180 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: time before cell phones, Amy tried her at home again 181 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: and got her answering machine. At six am, Amy had 182 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: a step up and delivered the news in Jody's place. 183 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: She loves her show. She calls it her show. You 184 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: know she wouldn't miss it for anything. The police were 185 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: called shortly after seven. When they arrived at Jody's apartment. 186 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: She wasn't but they found her shoes, hair dryer and 187 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,359 Speaker 1: keys scattered on the ground near her beloved red Mazdamiana. 188 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: You are hearing our friend Jim Axelrod at fine Jody 189 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: CBS forty eight hours the search on for Jody Houston. True. 190 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: Let me go back to Caroline Love investigative journalists. Caroline, 191 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: let's start again at the beginning. Now you're telling me 192 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: she was leaving. You believe she was leaving her apartment 193 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: building that morning. She was running a little light for work. 194 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: Her hair was still wet because she had a hair 195 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: dryer with you with her. I assume that was standing 196 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: in the parking lot. You're telling me she was only 197 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: twelve feet out from her apartment or twelve feet from 198 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: her vehicle, And how would you know she was dragged behind? 199 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: That information came years ago from police. Police investigators she 200 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: was dragged easterly. They saw marks in the silt, if 201 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: you will, and they believe that that's what happened. That 202 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: she was easterly most toward Kentucky Avenue, which is the 203 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: main road going by the Key apartment. Scutility lived with me. 204 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Former commander twenty seven years Woodbury Police Department, Jay Alberio. Jay, 205 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: tell me what you know of the morning Jody goes missing. 206 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: An examination of the photos that the media had, the 207 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: information that the Mason City Police had put out there 208 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: in the past. So based on all that, my interpretation 209 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: and from the facts is that Jody was at her 210 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: car and it appears that she was attempting to put 211 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: the key in the door lock to open the door 212 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: to her car when she was grabbed, more likely from behind, 213 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: because there's indications or the key that she had was bent, 214 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: which tells me that she had the key in the 215 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: doorlock when she was grabbed. So the force of somebody 216 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: grabbing her pushed her towards the front of the car 217 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: possibly and bent the key, and also the driver's side mirror. 218 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: The door was also bent forward, and again that indicates 219 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: there's a struggle taking place and the perpetrator has grabbed 220 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: her and has taken her towards the front of a car, 221 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: away from her apartment building. You know, and the examination, 222 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: we've been down there, We've driven through the parking lot 223 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: and looked at the scene. Because the scene will tell 224 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: you volumes of what happened, and it's a very tight 225 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: parking lot. It's really interesting to Wendy Patrick, prosecutor, author 226 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: of read Flags at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. Wendy, 227 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I never was so arrogant as to try a case 228 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: in front of jury without having gone to the same 229 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: In fact, very typically obsessively gone to the scene many, 230 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: many times, often on my off time, looking at it, 231 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: trying to make sense, reenacting in my mind what happened, 232 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: who could see what or not see? And in court, Wendy, 233 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: it made all the difference because I've had many defense 234 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: witnesses take the stand under oath and state what they 235 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: saw or didn't see, and into my knowledge of this 236 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: scene makes it very easy to say something like, well, 237 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: wait a minute, isn't there a big tree a hedge 238 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: around the building, So you're saying you could see through 239 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: the hedge what happened at the front door. Is that 240 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: what you're telling me you have to know the scene, 241 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: and we're just hearing that from Jay Alberian. Yeah, no, 242 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: that's huge, And I usually go as soon as possible 243 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: when after the prime was committed, because especially in a 244 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: case like this where you have an incident in the morning, 245 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: you want to know when exactly the sun came up, 246 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: when people would be out walking your dogs, when you'd 247 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: see the joggers, when you would be able to have 248 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: seen the evidence left behind. You know, we all know 249 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: the first few hours after a kidnapping or an abduction 250 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: are the most critical, the most crucial, because that's when 251 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: the bad guy or whoever abducted the victim is able 252 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: to make the escape. So yes, and you're also right, 253 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: it gives you enhanced credibility in front of not just 254 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: the jury but also the judge to where you are 255 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: the one in the court room that has done your homework. 256 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: You've been there and you're in the best position to 257 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: be asking these questions. It also helps you catch liars. 258 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: But in this case, we're hearing Jay Alberio and Caroline 259 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Lowe describe what happened, and the scenario is really important. Now, 260 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: what have I learned? I've learned that she was most 261 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: likely attacked from behind. What does that mean either somebody 262 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: she didn't know, somebody that felt they had to sneak 263 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: up on her, in the sense that maybe it was 264 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: someone she did know, but they had bad dealings so 265 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: they had to sneak up on her. It tells me 266 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: that she fought tooth and nail, that she had almost 267 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: made it to her car. Because we're here Alberio describing 268 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: how the key to the car was bent suggest she 269 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: had gotten in and it was pulled away. Was such 270 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: a force it bent the key. Now we are hypothesizing 271 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: what happened, but there's a lot of evidence to prove that. 272 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: Take a listen to reporterly with ABC six k L 273 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: what happened to Jody. Outside of Jody's apartment, investigators found 274 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: evidence of a struggle, her personal items scattered in the 275 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: parking lot, jewelry, shoes and a bag near her red convertible, 276 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: and perhaps one of the most important pieces of evidence, 277 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: a broken key. As Jody's morning producer morning assistant producer 278 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: I was the last one to speak with her before 279 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: she disappeared. Ammy Coons was working that morning Jody disappeared. 280 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: She tells police. Jody was often late for work, and 281 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: that morning she called Jody and says Jody answered and 282 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: told her she was on her way in. We still 283 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: have our jobs to do and we just got to 284 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: get the show in the year. Coons went on to 285 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: anchor that morning in Jody's place. It wasn't until hours 286 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: later that a phone call was made by the station 287 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: to police that Jody never arrived to work. Oh man, man, 288 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: that is critical to Joan Nathy, this is Jody's sister. 289 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: They didn't call for how many hours? Those are critical 290 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: hours in finding Jody. Yes, that's true. Um, I'm sure 291 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: they just well, maybe she, you know, overslept and she 292 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: would be in. Um, that's what I've understood it. But 293 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: it was critical time period. It's too bad that they 294 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: didn't call, but you know, it happened. It happen. Happened 295 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: the cowards. We're deal and we're working with what we've got. Certainly, 296 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: certainly Amy Coons never thought that Jody was being accepted, 297 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: of course, just thought she had overslept, you know, And 298 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: there's something I don't know. It's very confusing on that part. 299 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Caroline Low. We lost a 300 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: lot of time with them not calling police. But isn't 301 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: it correct that, you know, I heard another coworker say 302 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: that Jenny was never late to work, so I've got 303 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: to conflicting report on that. Well. Is that significant? Yes, 304 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: because if she was never late to work as she 305 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: was late this morning, that is what we call quote 306 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: routine evidence evidence of habit or routine. It's very hard 307 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: to break, you know, when you're in the TV business. 308 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: You can't be one minute late or there'll be an 309 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: empty chair sitting there you need. If you're fifteen minutes early, 310 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: you're late. So I'm curious about that, and I'm also 311 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: curious the co worker said Caroline that they called her 312 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: and she was said, I'm on the way. Is that correct? 313 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: We have no information otherwise, and that's what police have reported, 314 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: so guessing that they've checked the records to verify that. 315 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: But to back to Amy, Amy said that she was 316 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: basically crashing to get the show on. She was officially 317 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: just kind of angry at Jody that she'd overslept, and 318 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: she told me that just the other day one of 319 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: her biggest fears was she would lose her job if 320 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: she didn't get that show producing on the air. Yeah, 321 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: she never imagined. Yeah, she's right about that, because people 322 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: would tune in and there'd be nothing there. So yeah, 323 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: she would probably have lost her job. Another question to 324 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: Caroline Lowe. Very often I would take clothes, she used, makeup, 325 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: whatever jewelry that I was going to wear it that 326 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: night with me in my hands and a bag and 327 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: a backpack folded up with me. So I'm assuming that 328 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: everything that was found in the parking lot. When we 329 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: hear here dry or shoes and all that, that doesn't 330 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: mean they came off her feed. That means to me 331 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: that's what she was going to wear onto the air. 332 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: Guys were talking about Jodie, who's in truth just twenty 333 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: seven years old. That goes missing seemingly into thin air. 334 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: So Caroline Loo, what can you tell me about all 335 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: the items that were scattered in the parking lot. What 336 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: we know is there are a pair of red high heels, 337 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: which would seem to suggest that Jody was likely wearing 338 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: something with red or all red that day. We don't 339 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: know exactly. As far as we know, what she was 340 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: wearing has never been found, or if there was hairsprayed, 341 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: There is a blow dryer, their earrings, so the basics 342 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: of what you would wear to go on the air. 343 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: What's missing is a bag that she carried it in. 344 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: We've never heard anything about whether that was located. Presumably 345 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: Jody did not run to her car carrying all these 346 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: things in her arms doesn't make sense. So where is 347 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: that bag? Where is the purse that she normally would 348 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: have had. We don't know. And we also know that 349 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: she was in a hurry because she was running late, 350 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: so she may have grab things and then they came 351 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: out of her hands. But I find that also odd. 352 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: Why would she have be carrying ear rings and other 353 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: things in her hands and trying to open up the 354 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: card door. Guys, take a listen to our cut seven eight. 355 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: This is Brian Master Evening anchor, KA I am t listen. 356 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: Jody wasn't there, and so an associo producer, Amy Kuhn's 357 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: calls Jodie at her apartment. Jody sounded as though she 358 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: had just woke up and told Amy, Okay, I'm getting around, 359 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: I'll be in. So then the time passes, it's now 360 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: four thirty, it's now five. Amy, I'm assuming always thought, well, 361 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Jody probably just fell back asleep. Jody not coming in 362 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: right on time wasn't necessarily unusual from talking to the 363 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: people who worked in the morning, she wasn't always right 364 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: on time. Show starts at six o'clock without Jody, and 365 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: so it was just a few minutes after seven o'clock, 366 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: right after she had gotten off the air, Amy Kuhn's 367 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: calls Mason City Police for a welfare check. Mankay might 368 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: clarify something there, Yes, please make the Amy did not 369 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: make the phone call. Amy was still sitting on this 370 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: set at the seven o'clock when the show ended, a 371 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: co worker came in. She asked the coworker to call 372 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: police because she still had to do a morning update. 373 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: So a co worker called the police at seven thirteen. 374 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: First officers arrived on the scene at seven sixteen. Interesting 375 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: that basically, feel a little bit better about the timeline 376 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: because the whole day hasn't passed. Take a listen to 377 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: more of our friends at KIMT listen. Mason City Police 378 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: found JODI's car in the parking lot in the apartment 379 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: complex was maybe twenty ft twenty five feet from the 380 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: front door. They did find her car in the parking lot, 381 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: and he or she had been found the bench. If 382 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: you see that scattered a key vent in her fairly 383 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: new car, there's a palm print on the car. There's 384 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: a struggle. She's been abducted. She's probably still alive. There's 385 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: a three hour window in the qween the phone call 386 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: in the well sarag and that's a lot of time 387 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: for somebody to do something and get away. That is 388 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: conventional wisdom. If someone is killed in an induction, very 389 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: often the first three hours or the critical that's a 390 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: critical window in which you have a chance to save 391 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: the person. Straight out to doctor Jerry Cross in Psychologists Faculty, 392 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: Saint Leo University. You know, another wrinkle in this case 393 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: is that Jody husting Truth was in everybody's living rooms 394 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: and bedrooms and dens and kitchens all across the viewing area. 395 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: People thought that they knew her. Not only that, there 396 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: are a lot of people out there that, for instance, 397 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: I know this sounds crazy, doctor Jory, that think you're 398 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: sending them non verbal messages or that you are speaking 399 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: to them in code in some way. Of course, these 400 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: people have mental issues, but they believe, for as to 401 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: somebody young and beautiful like Jody's, Huston's true is actually 402 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: in love with them. It's it happens quite often, doctor, Yes, 403 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: it does with you know, celebrities or anybody that's in 404 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: the public light. You know, I guess all the reporters 405 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: that can kind of relate to that. But the one 406 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: thing is that you know, from the psychological perspective of 407 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: who did this, I mean, it seemed to be pretty 408 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: well planned out. And most people that you know either 409 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: have those kind of delusions, I mean they can still 410 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: plan it out well, but committing it to this degree 411 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: of almost perfections. You know, it was that time of day, 412 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: early in the morning, they had to wait, she was late. 413 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of things that you know, 414 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: what we don't have answers for. And I'm assuming to you, 415 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: Caroline Lowe, that there were no security cameras in the 416 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: parking lot, no security cameras, and as far as we know, 417 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: no eyewitnesses. Oh man, of course you Jay Alberio. It 418 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: was so early in the morning that she was leaving. Correct, 419 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: what time was it? Yes, from information, it was about 420 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: four thirty in the morning. Yeah, there's not a lot 421 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: of people out and about at four thirty in the morning. 422 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at Kimt. The search 423 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: for Jody was immediate. The response was overwhelming. I mean, 424 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: she's in your living room every morning. In Mason City 425 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: in the surrounding communities, people feel as though they know you, 426 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: and so everybody wanted to help. You had dogs, you 427 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: had psychics. You had so many people looking just to 428 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: see if they could find clues to Joey and Nathan, 429 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: this is Jodie's sister. Do you remember the use of 430 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: psychics trying to find Jody. Oh? Yeah, we had telephone 431 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: calls and we were on a show with the psychics 432 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: too at the beginning. Could I clarify something that always 433 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: bugs me that I hear them says, like I heard 434 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: this morning again that she was late many times for work, 435 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: And I never had that impression. A few times she 436 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: was late for work. But Jody was very conscientious about 437 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: her job. I mean, she wanted perfection. I would not 438 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: say she was late many times. A few times she 439 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: was a little late. Probably she did jam packer days 440 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: way too much. She worked, stayed up late writing thank 441 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: you notes, and you know, she just used every hour. 442 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, And I was trying to 443 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: clear that earlier. Joey and Nathy. Through my research and 444 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: investigation of the case, I found other co workers that 445 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: said she was never light or really late. She was 446 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: so conscientious. But no, she was late a few times. 447 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, I'm glad you said that, because I 448 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: don't want the impression at least and no more important 449 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: it factors into what happened that morning because she told 450 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: the co worker I'm i'm a away here. I'm sure 451 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: she was very nervous at that point because she was 452 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: so conscientious. I'm sure. Take a listen to Brian Master Kimt. 453 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: Three neighbors apparently heard screams that morning, and none of 454 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: them are able to really give an indicator about what 455 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: those screams were about. As we started to hear more 456 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: and more of what happened, You've got a sense that 457 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: this is awful and I don't know how this is 458 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: going to turn out good crime stories with Nancy Grace. 459 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: You guys, we're talking about Jody, who's in truth, just 460 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, that goes missing seemingly into thin air. 461 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: To Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor, author of Red Flags and 462 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: hosts Today with Doctor Wendy Casey BQ in San Diego, Wendy, 463 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, a timeline can start with something thing seemingly innocuous. 464 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: And I will refer to a really good example where 465 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: in the Nicole Brown Ron Goldman double murder, the neighbors 466 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: were first alerted by the dog. I believe the talk's 467 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: name was Achidas, as they say, mournful or plaintive. Well, 468 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: that really started the timeline of the night. And here 469 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: the neighbors hearing these screams, Wendy, that's right. And you 470 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: know a lot of people would have called the police 471 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: right away upon hearing those screams, And a timeline would 472 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: also include people that were up at six am. This 473 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: was a morning anchor. She was in the morning rooms 474 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: of the breakfast tables across this small town, where more 475 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: people were likely to know her, to recognize her, to 476 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: know her name. It also, when you talk about a timeline, 477 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: you would want to know if she had a stalker. 478 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: And I've prosecuted several men who have stalked news anchors specifically, 479 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: but they were news anchors that were on when they 480 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: were awake. So that timeline would also sweep in everyone 481 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: that would necessarily have seen her, have seen something, who 482 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: would have been up who knows who she is, because 483 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: they would have been awakened in a position to be 484 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: not only sharp many people the sharper in the morning, 485 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: but also in a position to notice something out of 486 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the Ordinary'd like those screams that, as you point out, 487 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: really starts that timeline. Yeah, I mean if you hear 488 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: a scream at four thirty five o'clock in the morning, 489 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: and there's a big difference hearing the neighbor calling the 490 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 1: dog and a woman screaming. I'm very surprised no one 491 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: called police. But you know what, again, that's what we're 492 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: working with. They did not take a Listen. Now to 493 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: ross Curious at k STPTV, Jody's closest friends in Mason 494 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: City are for the first time talking about their suspicions 495 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: because it could possibly be someone that we know with 496 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: all the times I've talked to detectives, they feel that 497 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: someone stopped her, watched her, know what her schedule was, 498 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: and was definitely going to plan on I'm doing something 499 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: that morning. Right up to her disappearance, this group of 500 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: people socialized with Jody. As they realized Jody's abductor might 501 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: not be a stranger, they grew uncomfortable with one of 502 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: their friends. They see signals you may not have seen 503 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: that make me think that there is always a possibility 504 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: that could be somebody that we you know. Now, take 505 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: a listen to Brian Mastree and Beth Bednar, former anchor 506 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: from KIMT and k A A L. Speaking to our 507 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: friends at ID. Investigators start to zero in on someone 508 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: who was with Jody the night before. They knew that 509 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: she had been with a friend twenty years her senior, 510 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: John van says, John Van Sis is considerably older than her, 511 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: recently divorced to book to masa city, You've spent a 512 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: lot of time together. Two weeks prior to her disappearance, 513 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: John had had a birthday party for who is celebrated 514 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: twenty first day. It seems though he was the last 515 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: one to see Jody alive. To Caroline Low, investigative journalist, 516 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: and you can find her at find Jody dot com, 517 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: find Jodi podcast and Caroline Low TV. Caroline, who is 518 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: this guy? And so he's the last one to see 519 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: her alive the night before? That's what he says. His 520 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: name is John Van Sis. He was twenty two years 521 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: older than Jody, and just two days earlier that weekend, 522 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: he and several of Jody's friends have gotten together in 523 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: northern Iowa to go on a water skiing trip. In fact, 524 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: she writes about him in her journal. The last thing 525 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: she writes about two days before she disappeared, talks about 526 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: what a great time she had with John Van Seise 527 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: her other friends Annie Cruz and Tammy Baker. So he's 528 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: an older friend who has spent a lot of time 529 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: with her in the last couple months before she disappears. 530 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: And to you, Jay Alberia, former commander Woodbury Police Department, Jay, 531 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: did he worked with her in what capacity? No? John 532 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: Van says did not work with her. With Jody, there 533 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: are acquaintances. As far as we know, John had lived 534 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: in the apartment complex at one time, as possibly where 535 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: he met Jody that became friends. Had a mutual interest 536 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: in waterskiing and John had a boat. So John was 537 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: taking her water skiing, and we believed that he was 538 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: also helping her learn how to water ski. Did Joe 539 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: and Nathy what was her relationship with John Vansis? Well, 540 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: actually I didn't know about the guy till this all happened. 541 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: She had mentioned to my mom. My mom cautioned her 542 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: that she was not really dating this guy, but he 543 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: was a friend, you know and stuff. And my mom said, well, 544 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: you better be careful because you know he might be 545 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: getting romantically interested in you. Oh, we're just good friends, 546 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: Jody would say, you know, and so but I after 547 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: hearing about after it all happened, we know that he 548 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: was quite obsessed with Jody. Yeah, oh, oh, just he 549 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: wanted always to be a rounder and he wanted to um, 550 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: you know. He he even named his boat after her, 551 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: which was odd. And the friends knew that too, and 552 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: they cautioned Jody. They said, Jody, are you sure that 553 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: John isn't more interested in you than you think? And 554 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: it was just very obvious that he that he has been, 555 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: was very interested in her. Yeah, as a matter of fact, 556 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct. Joe An Nathy, this is Jody's sister 557 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: joining us. Take a listen to Mary McGuire. Kimt forced 558 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: to play the role of both journalist and friend. Robin 559 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: Wolf from reported on the disappearance, even interviewing the man 560 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: who Jody was seen with last What was his demean 561 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: her life? Joyful, almost strangely happy, and telling me how 562 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: he named his boat after and how he just loved her. 563 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: She has no doubt in her mind. Batman, an older 564 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: gentleman who was friends with Jody, is the one responsible 565 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: for her dis furance, cautioned Jody about their friendship in television. 566 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: We have a gut instinct about things. My gut, and 567 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: my instinct tells me that he's responsible. WCCO is not 568 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: naming the man now living in Arizona since he has 569 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: not been charged with any crime, but Wolfram isn't the 570 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: only one who shares those same suspicions about him. Last March, 571 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 1: find Jodie dot Com, a website dedicated to the case, 572 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: reported Mason City police served him with a search warrant 573 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: seeking GPS data on two of his cars. Straight out 574 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: to Caroline Low, Caroline, what can you tell me about 575 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: the search warrant served on this guy, this much older 576 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: gentleman twenty two years for saying year that apparently was 577 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: besotted with her. The search warrants occurred in two seventeen, 578 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: and they remained sealed to this day. Each year they'll 579 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: probably be resealed by a judge. While what their police 580 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: were seeking, it was two vehicles associated with John van Seiss, 581 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: vehicles that he did not have back in nineteen ninety five, 582 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: they weren't manufactured soil a few years later. We don't 583 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: know specifically what they were seeking. Their probably will cause 584 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: statements affidavit is not public. What we do know, as 585 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: they said, is they were after she disappeared. The possible 586 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: theory is that they were seeking to see if maybe 587 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: he was going to some kind of a crime scene 588 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 1: when he was back in Iowa. He was subpoena before 589 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: a federal grand jury in that same month where he 590 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: was ordered to provide palm prints, fingerprints, and DNA sample, 591 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: but we don't know in the chief later set it 592 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: did not produce any evidence I'm guessing Wendy Patrick that 593 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: they would want to compare. He has not been named 594 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: as a suspect. Number one, let's just state that any 595 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: potential palm prints or fingerprints is something found on that car. 596 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And you know, Joanne and your other guests, 597 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: what we've done is we bumped the timeline back to 598 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: even the night before. So you talk about that palm print, 599 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: where it came from, who might have made it. Now 600 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: we're sweeping in people that may have seen her within 601 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: even the last twelve hours. And yes, you know forensics. 602 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: I know this happens a long time ago, but we 603 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: still today had some of what we had even back then, 604 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: good old fashioned forensics, especially in a case like this 605 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: where that's all that they had left at the scene. 606 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: There was no footage or cell phone pinging what we 607 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: do nowadays. A paul print like that would have been 608 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: an enormous piece of evidence. It could have been anyone. 609 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: Everybody in the area knows Jody who's in true. They 610 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: say her every single morning. Take a listen to Jennifer 611 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: Austin ka R eleven. Don't think because the world is 612 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: consoled with other news, that she's forgotten. Caroline Lowe is 613 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: an investigative journalist and part of the Fine Jodi Team, 614 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: a group of investigators who continue to look into the 615 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: unsolved case what happened to Jody. They launched a podcast 616 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: this month on what would have been Jodie's fifty second birthday, 617 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: hoping to keep eyes on her story and find answers 618 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: about what happened the early morning of June twenty seventh, 619 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, when Jody left her apartment late for 620 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: her job anchoring the morning news, America's most highly publicized 621 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: missing children she never made it. She was very easy 622 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: to follow. You knew her schedule anchoring the six am 623 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: and new news, her whole number, her address, or even 624 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 1: listed the local directory. She would have been very easy 625 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: to find. What could have been done differently? And can 626 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: there be a save? Take a listen to our cut 627 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: sixteen A. This is Laurley ABC six KAA l listen. 628 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: I can't remembering or later work. She's a professional journalism journalist. 629 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: Then general manager John Shine seen during a press conference 630 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: later that day describing a very different Jody, a devoted 631 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: employee who took her job seriously. Love. I've made it 632 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: clear this case is not going to go away for us. 633 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 1: For many decades, this case has puzzled the Mason City 634 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: Police Department. What do you think you, as chief can 635 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: do different than the chiefs prior to you that have 636 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 1: had this is under their tail and nothing has come about. 637 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here in second guess decisions made 638 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: the officers in the field twenty five years ago about 639 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: what they did. I will tell you that I don't 640 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 1: believe that any of them probably thought that we would 641 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: still be working this case today. Chief Jeff Brinkley says, 642 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 1: bringing a fresh pair of eyes to the case could 643 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: help cold cases. I think there are of interest to 644 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people. It's obviously a case that affected 645 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: Mason City, and so if we could put some closure 646 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: to that, I'm interested in doing that. To Caroline Low, 647 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: investigative journalists find Jodi dot Com. Caroline, where does it 648 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: stand now? There was one reporting of a body found 649 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: out of Mason City River. We don't believe it remains, 650 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: and we don't believe that was Jody. A PI popped 651 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: up and said he had information that he is still 652 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: not shared with anyone in the family. Have there been 653 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: any developments, Caroline that we could really sink our teeth into, Nancy, 654 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: I really wish I could say there were, And we 655 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: get tips all the time that find Jody dot Com, 656 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: but we had no information that authorities, anybody is any 657 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: closer to finding Jody Husing Trout today than they were 658 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: almost twenty six years ago. To Joanne Nathan, this is 659 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: Jody's sister, Joanne, what is your most vivid memory of 660 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: your sister Jody. Well, she was always so very caring 661 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: about us. She always wanted us to be happy. That 662 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: was a big interest, you know, if she was working 663 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: at a resort and her time off, she did invite 664 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: us up to use the facilities, and oh she was 665 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: just so bubbly. She's personality. Plus you know, she probably 666 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: didn't have the best speaking ability necessarily, but oh, her 667 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: personality on the air just came through, I know, Doug 668 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: Marbek Tody. The ratings were very high and one thing though, 669 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: she revealed too much about her personal life on the 670 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: air also, but that's you know, Jody. She was so 671 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: personable with everyone and people felt they really really knew her. 672 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: And all you need is somebody who's not playing with 673 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: a full deck to become obsessed and sitting and listening 674 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: to her daily routine. She would often talk where she 675 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: went jogging and what activity she was going to do 676 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: that day, and she probably went. She probably did too 677 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: much of that on the air. You know, it was 678 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: too personable, but they liked it.
