KIMT (Mason City, Iowa) Anchor Jodi Huisentruit was supposed to anchor the morning newscast for the station on June 27, 1995, she never showed up to work. 

Police have been searching for Huisentruit ever since. 

The Mason City Police Department continues to follow up on leads in the case.

KIMT reports that within the past year, Mason City police requested a search warrant of two vehicles.

Those vehicles belong to Arthur “John” Vansice.

According to online court documents, police requested in March 2017 GPS data for a 1999 Honda Civic and 2013 GMC 1500. 

Mason City Police Chief Jeff Brinkley said he can't discuss why the two vehicles are important to the case or details about the search warrant.

“There’s investigative integrity that we are looking to preserve,” Brinkley said. “I’m not going to talk about the technology that we use to do this kind of stuff.”

But he does want the public to know they aren’t done searching.

“We are going to continue to use all of the resources at our disposal and the disposal of other agencies that we have been working with since day one,” Brinkley said. “I think at some point, someday, it will pay off and we will clear the case.”
