@TWD That would send chills down my spine too! I haven't forgotten about Jodi in all these years & I don't live anywhere near you. I remember her tragic story very well.
Vansice was the last with her. He knew her routine. He calls her workplace at 7 am the next morning? Why? Who calls their friend at work at 7 am? He already knew she wasn’t there. And talk about being overly involved and helpful in the investigation...
@@larsonfamilyhouse In this day and age, it is nearly impossible for a prime suspect in a murder to get away with it. They've followed this guy for 27 years; he hasn't been charged for a reason. Note that he has been fully cooperative the entire time. Furthermore, if he would have gone after her, the last place he would have done so would have been in public outside her car and apartment. After all, she trusted him; he could have lured her some place private. As such, the venue suggests anyone besides him. And why call the studio that morning, if he _had_ done anything to her? Makes no sense. For every reason, the case against Vansice simply doesn't add up. But the YT detectives don't worry about such things.
If she was anchoring a morning show, why would a friend call when knowing she would be busy? Since when do men in their 40's really see a gorgeous 27 year old as "like a daughter"... He is a stalker, not a friend. She rejected and he reacted. Calling her office the next morning was purely to gain info on what was known ..
I remember this case so well. It is tragic and haunting. I hope that at the very least the family can know what happened and if she is dead or alive. I think the hardest thing is to wonder where your loved one is ....if they are sufferring or dead. It would be hell.

I always figured it was probably somebody that saw her on TV and became obsessed with her? The parking lot was the only place they found any evidence that something may be wrong? Finding one shoe suggests that she may have fought back? They/he/she obviously wasnt too worried about being recognized (them or their vehicle) by anyone to take her from the parking lot of an apartment complex, which suggests to me they had very little connection to the complex? She had the feeling someone was following her, even took self defense classes? Sounds like a stalker to me?
I remember this case very well and I was thinking the same thing someone became obsessed with her, stalk her, followed her home and waited for the perfect opportunity to grab her.
I think it might have been a serial killer after all they're usually responsible for disappearances of women whose remains are never found and there's no trace or clue's to what happened to them. Jodie isn't the only woman abducted while walking to her car to go to work Jennifer Kesse was also abducted walking to her car to go to work, I'm sure there's multiple cases across America that are very similar over the years, we just don't hear about them as much as we do other case's like the two mentioned. Abducting a person on their way to work gives the abductor a few hours or a whole morning for them to do whatever heinous acts they plan to do, dispose/bury the body, hide their tracks and they're out of state before anybody has reported them missing. You hope all disappearances get resolved and their families and loved ones get the closure they deserve.....
I don't buy it. Stalkers usually make their presence know long before they resort to violence. I think that the toilet seat is a major piece of evidence.
What a great mission -- I'm sure the families and friends of these missing people really appreciate your work. I certainly do as a viewer. Thank you. This case reminds me of the Baltimore case of the murder of the former nun, Catherine Cesnik, as reported in the documentary, "The Keepers." It was a group of her former high school students who took it upon themselves to solve the crime. They did not have the advantage of a news group or police dept to assist them.
The “ friend” that named the boat after her seems very suspicious !!! Why has this case not been solved??? Thinking of Jodi during the holidays. I am her age and was starting my career like she was starting hers. I have been following this case since the start. My heart genuinely aches for this young woman and her family during the holidays heart breaking !!
I worked with Jodi at KSAX TV in Alexandria Minnesota just prior to her move to Iowa. Her disappearance haunts me to this day on a very personal level.
I remember these 2 cases yet that I’m 71 years old. I lived in Hardin County in Iowa took care of my Mother. These 2 cases also haven’t gone very far either in Iowa. There were 2 young Boys Johnny Gash & Eujein Martin that were kidnapped very early in the Morning Delivering the Des Moines, Iowa. Both of those cases went cold right away. I’ll never forget those cases either!! The they were kidnapped very early in the Morning when it was dark yet. Both of those Boys pictures were on milk cartons. I still get tears remembering those 2 cases!!
You as a female have to make sure you don't get followed home from work, grocery store, anywhere, if you pick something up at the pharmacy be very careful, don't walk around your neighborhood in your short shorts and walk into your house, always meet someone on dates, don't mention where you live etc..etc..
This is going to be a great series. I remember when she went missing. I often think about her, especially when I hear a strange last name and hers pops in my mind. A very strange case. Be safe Jodi.
She was very beautiful in some of these pictures. God bless her and her family. Its bad enough to have a loved one murdered, but to never find her, and only be able to wonder about where she is? My god, I cant even imagine.
i think she could be alive and that she ghosted people . internet was in its infancy back in the day. and back then people could disappear like "poof" .

@@mariantreber8055 Tarot cards and psychics are like YT detectives - utterly useless. As to John Vansice, the evidence makes it rather clear that he was not involved.
sharon Lefebure, i've got relatives that i've ghosted aggressively when i was a teen 1998 so its not unimaginable to think there are chances she could be alive. After all she'd only be 54 . still fresh and active like most middle aged women in modern times.
@@PHlophe Very unlikely, and honestly, I think Id rather think of her as deceased. If she somehow escaped her captor, and was walking around with amnesia, clearly someone would have recognized her by now and have called the police. This is a pretty famous case.

I really really really wish that you guys would fix the captions. No words for how discriminatory it is to those who are hearing impaired...I just ask that you put yourself in our shoes....you'd get it right then I'm sure
Thank you News Nation for bringing Awareness to keep these cases alive. Prayers Jodi Huisentruit will be found one day; she's been missing since 1985 (27 years).
John VanSice claiming Alzheimers is sooooo convenient 🙄 and especially when it "can't be independently verified" his perfect way to dodge anymore questioning...someone prob his gf at the time, knows something and should just cough it up. Let her family have some peace.
And if he had moderate Alzheimers as he claimed, he wouldn't have been able to spout off all the things he did about his involvement in her case. Suspicious.
On that partial palm print on her car, can they test for DNA? Or can they test for DNA on any other items that might have been touched by her abductor? Sometimes there is never an answer. That is just the sad truth.
The killer of Michelle Martinko is believed to be linked to Jodi’s disappearance and other cases. It was 40 years after they found the killer through DNA. I wonder if her personal things that were found could have some potential DNA of the killer.
And this is why I shouldn't read YT comments, because of dumb crap like this. Go pat yourself on the back for solving the case, right, YT detectives? Who cares that the evidence disagrees with you?
They just solved the case of Michelle Martinko after 40 years because of DNA. These two women look like twins. I think they need to compare the DNA from this scene to the killer of Michel Martinko. Would not be surprised even a little bit of it turns out to be the same killer.
Could Jodi been working on a piece as a journalist and uncovered something that put her in danger, such as finding incriminating evidence about the person?.
I don't think she will be found either. Law enforcement in Iowa needs a overhaul modernized. In 1992 a convenience store worker was murdered in chickasaw county in Iowa the murder was never solved. I sometimes wonder if the same person had something to do with both of these cases.
Jodi was kidnapped going to work in the early morning hours in June 1995. She was late for work, and was called in by a co-worker so that she would come in. She was obviously being watched, and her kidnapper/s waited for her. There was evidence of an kidnapping. I pray that she's found.
I forgot about him and some details until I saw this. John was definitely creepy and the last one who saw her. Lie detectors are worthless. I am glad they are covering these cold cases. I sure hope that at a minimum the family gets answers.
I do not believe it was Mr Vansice.. He is definitely creepy but was in a place of some control over the situation.. He had her in his life somewhat. And the worried phone call into the station.. I believe she was causing troubles for to many drug dealers with her news reports on the subject. Truthfully they are the professionals at making people disappear. Not so much somebody that has not done such a thing before.
I think the guy, John Vansice, had something to do with her disappearance. I remember when this happened and the investigation that followed. He was a much older man that had feelings for her that wasn’t reciprocated. She was a beautiful young woman and I hope one day she is found or what happened to her is known.
@Veronica Elis Polygraphs are unreliable, true. But accusing Vansice without evidence is foolish and plain wrong. The evidence is quite clear that he was not involved. Even if he had the hots for her, and perhaps he did, that hardly means that he kidnapped or killed her. Again, the evidence shows that he was _not_ involved.
@Veronica Elis 👍 I'm with you, been following this case for a long time. New info from this video even says, "why didn't they cover that?" John Vansice has a connection, the narrator can only tell us what she's given... she's not getting ALL that police know about this case. Also, Vansice, if he had "women in his life, and was just a friend," wouldn't his "significant other" have been shown in photos with him and helped plan his "just because" party?
John Vansice had nothing to do with Jodi's disappearance!! It was an unknown assailant who knew that Jodi left her apartment very early in the morning when there wouldn't be eyewitnesses to see the kidnapping. Pretty simple and obvious hypothesis for her disappearance.
There was another girl by the name of Michelle Martinko who was murdered in 1979 in a shopping mall in Cedar Rapids. Her killer was identified not too long ago and had all kinds of crazy crap on his computer like "How to rape a dead blonde" and the like. Martinko's father is a believer that his daughter's killer is likely also Jodi's killer since they look strikingly similar and the killer had a blonde fetish. Wonder why none of this was mentioned.
Most perps don’t stop with one person (if they aren’t caught), so it is definitely plausible. Perhaps it wasn’t mentioned because it is a theory that is still being investigated.
I believe he also brought up Jodi's name, completely unprompted, while being interviewed by police about the other girl. There is video of it somewhere.
Never ever is there only one victim someone needs to get him to take a lie detector their extremely accurate i have a sister who is a polygrapher for the fbi I'm going to ask about the case and this creep
I remember seeing this case on the news in NYC as a child and many years since. I always wondered if it was possible that she interviewed someone who didn’t like her report - meaning maybe she outed someone, and made someone look bad like a convinced criminal who was released from prison, a county official, another public figure, etc.? I wonder if they looked past her “inner circle” and those sex offenders who lived nearby. Did they check her interviews and news anchoring reports to see if they could find anyone that didn’t seem pleased with something she said and may have been angry or out of character on camera? I bet they could cross reference DMV records with people who owned (or had access to) a white truck, and perhaps against the prints/hair they found to see if there’s any potential matches. It’s a needle in a haystack, but I’ve never heard anyone say that the investigators have taken that approach. I also wonder if someone was looking for revenge on one of her family members or friends, and knowing that family member/friend was connected to a public figure made the perp feel like he’d do more harm by going after her instead of the intended target so they’d suffer the rest of their lives without someone he/she cared about? Like did the take the 3rd party target angle? Probably not. Stuff like that has happened, sadly, where a public figure is related to the intended target in some manner - and is held for ransom, injured, killed, raped, or whatever else to get back at the intended target when the public figure had nothing to do with the actual issue at hand between the perp and intended target.
IDK, claiming someone was "like a daughter" to you and throwing her a special BD party, sitting around watching movies together at night seems suspicious to me. Do grown men become like fathers to fully grown women?
@@rolf4182 The chief was given a copy, presumably as part of the investigation. Years later, after he was long retired, his wife anonymously sent that copy - or perhaps a copy of the copy, I don't know - to a newspaper. I guess she thought it would help the newspaper solve the case? Law enforcement was interested briefly, until they found out who the sender was, which explained how she'd had it in her possession. She admitted to sending it, and then everyone lost interest.
Only if one were privy to the Grand Jury evidence can one make a better, subjective hypothesis on this case. The police know nothing still despite what they say. May God bless her/hers ...
The problem is that when someone is uncomfortable with a situation, they are afraid to say for fear their associates may not believe in them, let us be in kindness
I first heard about her case years ago when I was on a service call to a customer site in Mason City. It was a few years after she disappeared and was told it still was on people's mind. I think how the subject came up was while working the radio was on and the news must have talked about it. Sad to hear her missing has never been solved. Must be terrible for her family and friends to this day. You always hold out hope. Hopefully with modern investigative tools one day her disappearance is solved.
@@alanmartyn3209 it's insanity. people are never satisfied, a year ago this segment didn't exist but yet people are demanding more, faster. it's actually gross. Maybe they themselves could create a youtube channel and talk all day about missing people they are worried about
Woman Who claimed to get that call in the news room. Has all the trade marks of a clout chaser. Excited to be interviewed. Hyped up. Said “enough is enough is enough” very dramatically. U kno. Like a liar 🤥. I really get gut feeling she was just close to the case and wanted to be part of it Many witnesses have completely fabricated information just to be involved in said case. That’s what I believe here with that 720 call ☎️
There's no words I lost my son 2 days after his first birthday that he shared with his father he passes away from sids but I know that he's in heaven happy and safe jodi's family need to contact reverend Donna seraphina she solved the vallow daybell case 8 months prior the details were so accurate she released the video while they were still missing and through her work with the fbi they were discovered it was incredible #lets find Jodi #justice 4 jodi
Q: where she went missing-->have every body of water within a mile to 5 mile radius and wooded areas a mile to 5 mile been thoroughly checked? And as well as possible abandoned storages in the area where she went missing. I hope Jodi is found. Need to use unconventional methods for this case. Was John boat check. What item's did John V. buy leading up to Jodi disappearance and after her disappearance.
John V. was treated like a rich man might expect to be treated by police. He had no alibi for the time between her abduction and 6am that morning, the interior of Jodi's car was never combed, and items in her kitchen that could have been kept as evidence (and perhaps used as sources of DNA later) were discarded. He seemed neither surprised nor alarmed when she was reported missing, even though he always claimed to have been a very close friend to her. Somehow, nobody has ever confirmed his story that she was at his place the night before her abduction, but some of her neighbors said that she was screaming something that sounded like "No, John! John!" at her front door within an hour or so of her disappearance.
@@christyramosortiz This video is a very, very brief overview. Do a deep dive, and you will find out more about what else the neighbors heard, and why we can assume that Jodi was not the only person at her apartment during the last 36 hours before her disappearance.
I just started watching this so before I do watch this, I want to put some thought out there. First, isn’t it true that often the perpetrator is someone the victim knows? So was anyone gone for a time that this beautiful lady knew? Second, could she have been taken a long way away from where she was kidnapped. I saw a case where a woman was held in a connection tied up and was ill used by her kidnapper. Private property and dogs used? Now I will watch this as I don’t recall this incident. I live kind of remotely in Alaska, so maybe fresh eyes and ears? Let’s take a look.
@@jimwerther You stop Jim. people have the freedom to comment without you commenting back on every single comment. I am with that other commenter, Are You John??
@@CatBrash No, he's right: you should stop. All of you. While it's true that people have the freedom to baselessly accuse a complete stranger of a heinous crime in spite of their ignorance of the known facts, it's *also* true that other people have just as much right to call them out for being the clueless, self-styled "experts" they are. So it's really your own fault. After all, if there weren't so many ignorant assertions being made (and upvoted!), maybe Jim's lone voice of reason wouldn't get so hoarse. 😁
I remember Jodi I used to live in Iowa & remember the Case very Good!! Whispers were going around that Jodi is buried under interstate 35 N?? Here are 2 more cases you need to cover 2 more cases!! They are Johnny Gash & Eurigne Martin the 2 boy’s were kidnapped delivered the Des Moines Register in Des Moines. I remember those cases but good. Those cases went Cold right away!!
I wonder if John’s girlfriend, at the time, according to John, attended Jodi’s birthday party? I wonder if his girlfriend even knew about Jodi’s party?
You have to consider the thought of the white truck. I don't remember if she said it was a Ford or not. In 1995 is likely there may have been video somewhere in that town of a white pickup truck.
@@drelyn2990 security cameras were available then whether they were video or not they were on film. A lot of businesses had them. And yes I already knew that there was very little video made and used in 1995 yet it was very available. Maybe not as much in the public sector as it was for businesses. But it was available. Whether it was scarce or not.
Everybody keeps investigating the same people the same things over and over again. Look outside the box. I don't believe there was an investigation into what she knew about the North Iowa drug task force. Why? I've said it a million times. If you really want to get to the bottom of what happened to Jodi start interviewing people that haven't been interviewed.
Whatever happened to her, maybe we shouldn't have serial rapists just roaming freely. And what did her "friend" mean when he said he was the last person to see her alive? That phrase always confuses me.
I hope the lady who said John called is telling the truth because if so then someone was tryin to set John up. That means it was someone who knew about Jodi and John being friends. Did John ever admit to calling? Did the police ever play a recording of John's voice to see if she recognized it? I hope so.
One cannot help but think about another missing persons case out of Des Moines Iowa, that of Johnny Gosh. In 1982 12 year old Johnny Gosh disappeared while delivering newspapers. He has never been found.
What about the man who was at the beginning of the report. He mentioned, he had hoped that she would come back from COLORADO and say hi there I am. I found his statement rather eerie and predictive of SOMETHING. PLEASE follow this lead and this man. Did he have a white truck?
@@jennifermcgoldrick6323 somehow his words were odd and I think he should be questioned. As well, they should be looking in Colorado. It is only a feeling. His words gave me a spooky feeling, as if he knew more. Someone in the local community knows more and might be directly involved...
Thank you News Nation for keeping those who are missing in the publics awareness and may these loved ones be found.
Yes. Thanks so much
Has it been 27 years since Jodi went missing?! This is a wonderful thing you're doing to find the missing for their loved ones.

Stop blaming Vansice. The evidence is rather obviously pointing away from him.
On that partial palm print on her car, can they test for DNA? Or can they test for DNA on any other items that might have been touched by her abductor? Sometimes there is never an answer. That is just the sad truth.
The killer of Michelle Martinko is believed to be linked to Jodi’s disappearance and other cases. It was 40 years after they found the killer through DNA. I wonder if her personal things that were found could have some potential DNA of the killer.
How could Vancise KNOW he was the last person to see Jodi alive? Or is this sentence an awkward mistake by journalists?
It’s John. She turned down his advances and he killed her.
I agree with you 100%
And this is why I shouldn't read YT comments, because of dumb crap like this. Go pat yourself on the back for solving the case, right, YT detectives? Who cares that the evidence disagrees with you?
@@jimwerther I've never said this to a dude before, but I love you.
@@minnesotarascal7453
Thank you! I appreciate your very platonic expression of love :)
They just solved the case of Michelle Martinko after 40 years because of DNA. These two women look like twins. I think they need to compare the DNA from this scene to the killer of Michel Martinko. Would not be surprised even a little bit of it turns out to be the same killer.
Could Jodi been working on a piece as a journalist and uncovered something that put her in danger, such as finding incriminating evidence about the person?.
I don't think she will be found either. Law enforcement in Iowa needs a overhaul modernized. In 1992 a convenience store worker was murdered in chickasaw county in Iowa the murder was never solved. I sometimes wonder if the same person had something to do with both of these cases.
Jodi was kidnapped going to work in the early morning hours in June 1995. She was late for work, and was called in by a co-worker so that she would come in. She was obviously being watched, and her kidnapper/s waited for her. There was evidence of an kidnapping. I pray that she's found.
I have always believed it was John Vansice
I forgot about him and some details until I saw this.
John was definitely creepy and the last one who saw her.
Lie detectors are worthless.
I am glad they are covering these cold cases.
I sure hope that at a minimum the family gets answers.
Same.
The evidence disagreed with you
I do not believe it was Mr Vansice.. He is definitely creepy but was in a place of some control over the situation.. He had her in his life somewhat. And the worried phone call into the station.. I believe she was causing troubles for to many drug dealers with her news reports on the subject. Truthfully they are the professionals at making people disappear. Not so much somebody that has not done such a thing before.
I also have a gut feeling that he is guilty as well.
Poor young woman, May she RIP.
It's a missing person, but the coworker said 6 months ago they'll NEVER find her body. Why say that?
I think the guy, John Vansice, had something to do with her disappearance. I remember when this happened and the investigation that followed. He was a much older man that had feelings for her that wasn’t reciprocated. She was a beautiful young woman and I hope one day she is found or what happened to her is known.
The evidence disagrees with you
You are right ✅️
Something he was hiding.
@Veronica Elis
Polygraphs are unreliable, true. But accusing Vansice without evidence is foolish and plain wrong. The evidence is quite clear that he was not involved. Even if he had the hots for her, and perhaps he did, that hardly means that he kidnapped or killed her. Again, the evidence shows that he was _not_ involved.
@Veronica Elis 👍 I'm with you, been following this case for a long time. New info from this video even says, "why didn't they cover that?" John Vansice has a connection, the narrator can only tell us what she's given... she's not getting ALL that police know about this case. Also, Vansice, if he had "women in his life, and was just a friend," wouldn't his "significant other" have been shown in photos with him and helped plan his "just because" party?
John Vansice had nothing to do with Jodi's disappearance!! It was an unknown assailant who knew that Jodi left her apartment very early in the morning when there wouldn't be eyewitnesses to see the kidnapping. Pretty simple and obvious hypothesis for her disappearance.
There was another girl by the name of Michelle Martinko who was murdered in 1979 in a shopping mall in Cedar Rapids. Her killer was identified not too long ago and had all kinds of crazy crap on his computer like "How to rape a dead blonde" and the like. Martinko's father is a believer that his daughter's killer is likely also Jodi's killer since they look strikingly similar and the killer had a blonde fetish. Wonder why none of this was mentioned.
Jerry Lynn Burns. Not impossible, but quite a stretch.
Most perps don’t stop with one person (if they aren’t caught), so it is definitely plausible. Perhaps it wasn’t mentioned because it is a theory that is still being investigated.
I believe he also brought up Jodi's name, completely unprompted, while being interviewed by police about the other girl. There is video of it somewhere.
@@sngray11 Good point
Never ever is there only one victim someone needs to get him to take a lie detector their extremely accurate i have a sister who is a polygrapher for the fbi I'm going to ask about the case and this creep
What news article was she working on during the time she disappeared?.
Jodi didn’t do investigative reporting
For sure no stranger took her … it’s a creep in her town
So sad so many unanswered questions. 🙏🙏🙏 prayers to the family.
I remember seeing this case on the news in NYC as a child and many years since. I always wondered if it was possible that she interviewed someone who didn’t like her report - meaning maybe she outed someone, and made someone look bad like a convinced criminal who was released from prison, a county official, another public figure, etc.? I wonder if they looked past her “inner circle” and those sex offenders who lived nearby. Did they check her interviews and news anchoring reports to see if they could find anyone that didn’t seem pleased with something she said and may have been angry or out of character on camera? I bet they could cross reference DMV records with people who owned (or had access to) a white truck, and perhaps against the prints/hair they found to see if there’s any potential matches. It’s a needle in a haystack, but I’ve never heard anyone say that the investigators have taken that approach.
I also wonder if someone was looking for revenge on one of her family members or friends, and knowing that family member/friend was connected to a public figure made the perp feel like he’d do more harm by going after her instead of the intended target so they’d suffer the rest of their lives without someone he/she cared about? Like did the take the 3rd party target angle? Probably not. Stuff like that has happened, sadly, where a public figure is related to the intended target in some manner - and is held for ransom, injured, killed, raped, or whatever else to get back at the intended target when the public figure had nothing to do with the actual issue at hand between the perp and intended target.
Wow. This is disturbing. I think someone waited for her out in the parking lot and it seems it would not be a stranger. That is my take....
Why not a stranger?
IDK, claiming someone was "like a daughter" to you and throwing her a special BD party, sitting around watching movies together at night seems suspicious to me. Do grown men become like fathers to fully grown women?
We're the police involved, since the wife of the chief of polices wife had Jody's journal in her personal possession. Were they ever investigated.
She got it from her husband, who was given it as part of the investigation. Let's not get crazy here.
And it wasn't the original, but a copy.
@@jimwerther why would a wife of the police have the journal?
@@rolf4182
The chief was given a copy, presumably as part of the investigation. Years later, after he was long retired, his wife anonymously sent that copy - or perhaps a copy of the copy, I don't know - to a newspaper. I guess she thought it would help the newspaper solve the case? Law enforcement was interested briefly, until they found out who the sender was, which explained how she'd had it in her possession. She admitted to sending it, and then everyone lost interest.
Only if one were privy to the Grand Jury evidence can one make a better, subjective hypothesis on this case.
The police know nothing still despite what they say.
May God bless her/hers ...
The problem is that when someone is uncomfortable with a situation, they are afraid to say for fear their associates may not believe in them, let us be in kindness
Too often people believe the bad guy and or bad gal..cause these folks lie all too well..ive seen it b4 and heard stories of it from people it's awful
So sad praying for answers 🙏 she deserves to be found and laid to rest in peace!
Wow this is absolutely crazy case
This is why people need to arm themselves. People need to start protecting themselves.
I urge all of you to look up the Michelle Martinko case, also in Iowa. In particular, look at photos of both victims.
I first heard about her case years ago when I was on a service call to a customer site in Mason City. It was a few years after she disappeared and was told it still was on people's mind. I think how the subject came up was while working the radio was on and the news must have talked about it. Sad to hear her missing has never been solved. Must be terrible for her family and friends to this day. You always hold out hope. Hopefully with modern investigative tools one day her disappearance is solved.
I’m glad they’re talking about this again. Hopefully they catch whoever took her
Where is Heidi Planck? I feel like you've given up on her. I think of her every day...and Suzanne Morphew.
🙄🤦♀️
You could go on and on naming names but there is an endless list of missing PEOPLE that deserve to have the same attention as this case.
If there's no new evidence it's always gonna go cold
Who?
@@alanmartyn3209 it's insanity. people are never satisfied, a year ago this segment didn't exist but yet people are demanding more, faster. it's actually gross. Maybe they themselves could create a youtube channel and talk all day about missing people they are worried about
Woman Who claimed to get that call in the news room. Has all the trade marks of a clout chaser. Excited to be interviewed. Hyped up. Said “enough is enough is enough” very dramatically. U kno. Like a liar 🤥. I really get gut feeling she was just close to the case and wanted to be part of it Many witnesses have completely fabricated information just to be involved in said case. That’s what I believe here with that 720 call ☎️
🙏🙏⚖️⚖️⚖️where is she?? Someone knows ⚖️🙏🙏
It’s unfortunate surveillance cameras weren’t a big thing.
Yes, a person can't do these things unseen these days, thankfully!

There's no words I lost my son 2 days after his first birthday that he shared with his father he passes away from sids but I know that he's in heaven happy and safe jodi's family need to contact reverend Donna seraphina she solved the vallow daybell case 8 months prior the details were so accurate she released the video while they were still missing and through her work with the fbi they were discovered it was incredible #lets find Jodi #justice 4 jodi
She would be 54 years old now. I can't imagine how sad and haunted her family and friends must be.
Prayers for this young lady
John’s girlfriend that he said he already had could have got jealous that he named his boat after her so she did it. (Theory)
That's what I thought
Weird guy to take her name. ..very creepy.
Or it could have been the man on the moon (theory)
@@jimwerther are you really John, Jim? 🙄
@@jennifermcgoldrick6323
Is that a serious question?
Q: where she went missing-->have every body of water within a mile to 5 mile radius and wooded areas a mile to 5 mile been thoroughly checked? And as well as possible abandoned storages in the area where she went missing.
I hope Jodi is found. Need to use unconventional methods for this case.
Was John boat check. What item's did John V. buy leading up to Jodi disappearance and after her disappearance.
John V. was treated like a rich man might expect to be treated by police. He had no alibi for the time between her abduction and 6am that morning, the interior of Jodi's car was never combed, and items in her kitchen that could have been kept as evidence (and perhaps used as sources of DNA later) were discarded. He seemed neither surprised nor alarmed when she was reported missing, even though he always claimed to have been a very close friend to her. Somehow, nobody has ever confirmed his story that she was at his place the night before her abduction, but some of her neighbors said that she was screaming something that sounded like "No, John! John!" at her front door within an hour or so of her disappearance.
The evidence strongly suggests that he was not involved
@@buyerbware25 where is this posted? The news article isn’t claiming this
@@christyramosortiz This video is a very, very brief overview. Do a deep dive, and you will find out more about what else the neighbors heard, and why we can assume that Jodi was not the only person at her apartment during the last 36 hours before her disappearance.
@@buyerbware25 I’ve reviewed several videos and have heard nothing about a neighbor hearing anything.
I just started watching this so before I do watch this, I want to put some thought out there.
First, isn’t it true that often the perpetrator is someone the victim knows? So was anyone gone for a time that this beautiful lady knew?
Second, could she have been taken a long way away from where she was kidnapped.
I saw a case where a woman was held in a connection tied up and was ill used by her kidnapper. Private property and dogs used?
Now I will watch this as I don’t recall this incident. I live kind of remotely in Alaska, so maybe fresh eyes and ears? Let’s take a look.
This is kind of an exception because she was on tv so there were probably many ppl who felt they “knew” her
Just wanted you to know….we’re keeping up with your case, Jodi……lease let us know if you’re getting our messages! Please let us know!!!!Judy
Why does nobody ever bring up or talk about the private investigator that claims he found new information???
Glad someone if finally bring attention to all the missing
So awesome what y’all are doing!
12 year old johnny gosh disappeared from Des Moines in 1983 while delivering newspapers on his paper route. He's never been found.
I would of thought John ringing station saying where is she ?, Has she come to work yet ? etc ..... would have rung a few bells about John ??????🤨👍
This and the Springfield 3 are haunting
She's long gone..it's one of those cases that will never be solved...sad yes..but it's reality...God has this one..time to move on
It's odd that John is shaking his head no while speaking about doing anything to help etc in that first clip.
Just stop
@@jimwerther You stop Jim. people have the freedom to comment without you commenting back on every single comment. I am with that other commenter, Are You John??
@@CatBrash No, he's right: you should stop. All of you. While it's true that people have the freedom to baselessly accuse a complete stranger of a heinous crime in spite of their ignorance of the known facts, it's *also* true that other people have just as much right to call them out for being the clueless, self-styled "experts" they are. So it's really your own fault. After all, if there weren't so many ignorant assertions being made (and upvoted!), maybe Jim's lone voice of reason wouldn't get so hoarse. 😁
I remember Jodi I used to live in Iowa & remember the Case very Good!! Whispers were going around that Jodi is buried under interstate 35 N??
Here are 2 more cases you need to cover 2 more cases!!
They are Johnny Gash & Eurigne Martin the 2 boy’s were kidnapped delivered the Des Moines Register in Des Moines. I remember those cases but good. Those cases went Cold right away!!
Stay on John! He is the most likely suspect
The evidence disagrees with you
@@jimwerther ok John
@@rolf4182
You're soooo funny
@@jimwerther 😁
YES! He definitely is!
Marnie, that phone call from John in the morning is something I’ve never heard either. I wonder what to make of it!
I wonder if John’s girlfriend, at the time, according to John, attended Jodi’s birthday party? I wonder if his girlfriend even knew about Jodi’s party?
Jealous . She's a pretty one. Jealousy is a stange thing
If someone knows something they should call anonymously and help with information.
As tough as this case is, it can get solved if someone is willing to come forward and reveal the truth because it took more than one person to do this
You have to consider the thought of the white truck. I don't remember if she said it was a Ford or not. In 1995 is likely there may have been video somewhere in that town of a white pickup truck.
Video was scared then.
@@drelyn2990 security cameras were available then whether they were video or not they were on film. A lot of businesses had them. And yes I already knew that there was very little video made and used in 1995 yet it was very available. Maybe not as much in the public sector as it was for businesses. But it was available. Whether it was scarce or not.
Even 7-Eleven had security cameras. Back in the 1970s and '80s.
... ... ... yes... cuz God knows that in northern Iowa in 1995 a white truck was an uncommon sight.
Why did a federal grand jury investigate this case? What was the Fed interest?
The neighbor was obsessed with her.
Why was the friend calling her the next morning? Any explanation for that?
Very sad that you tube will place ads into videos involving the missing!!!!!!! Pathetic 🥺
Everybody keeps investigating the same people the same things over and over again. Look outside the box. I don't believe there was an investigation into what she knew about the North Iowa drug task force. Why? I've said it a million times. If you really want to get to the bottom of what happened to Jodi start interviewing people that haven't been interviewed.
Look at Jerry Lynn Burns!
Whatever happened to her, maybe we shouldn't have serial rapists just roaming freely. And what did her "friend" mean when he said he was the last person to see her alive? That phrase always confuses me.
Aubrey, when you've last seen someone alive and the time of their disappearing is close to the last time you spoke to'em .
I think its the last person with her.from the incidence and evidence instead he said she may live anywhere.its strange.
I hope the lady who said John called is telling the truth because if so then someone was tryin to set John up. That means it was someone who knew about Jodi and John being friends. Did John ever admit to calling? Did the police ever play a recording of John's voice to see if she recognized it? I hope so.
One cannot help but think about another missing persons case out of Des Moines Iowa, that of Johnny Gosh. In 1982 12 year old Johnny Gosh disappeared while delivering newspapers. He has never been found.
What about the man who was at the beginning of the report. He mentioned, he had hoped that she would come back from COLORADO and say hi there I am. I found his statement rather eerie and predictive of SOMETHING. PLEASE follow this lead and this man. Did he have a white truck?
He was just a local community member being interviewed soon after she went missing.
@@jennifermcgoldrick6323 somehow his words were odd and I think he should be questioned. As well, they should be looking in Colorado. It is only a feeling. His words gave me a spooky feeling, as if he knew more. Someone in the local community knows more and might be directly involved...
Liam Neeson. WHERE ARE YOU! DO SOMETHING!
