A private investigator has reportedly identified a possible suspect in the three-decades-old mystery surrounding the cold-case disappearance of an Iowa news anchor.
The case began in the early-morning hours of June 27, 1995, when Jodi Huisentruit did not show up to anchor the local morning news in Mason City, Iowa.
Her disappearance sparked a three-decades-long search by authorities that prompted multiple theories surrounding the case, though her body has never been recovered and no one has been charged with a crime.
However, private investigator Steve Ridge his death in 2024.
"He denied any role in the disappearance of Jodi and said he cared very much about her and that he would never possibly hurt her," Ridge said, according to FOX 10.
The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation declined Fox News Digital's request for comment.
