She was born June 5th,1968 in Long Prairie Minnesota to Imogene L. "Jane" and Maurice Nicholas Huisentruit. She was very good at golf. In high school her team won the state Class A tournament in 1985 and 1986. She went to St. Cloud State University, where she studied mass communications and speech communication and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 1990. Her first job after graduation was with Northwest Airlines. She entered broadcasting by getting a job at KGAN in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as the station's Iowa City bureau chief. Later she returned to Minnesota for a job at KSAX in Alexandria before returning to Iowa for her KIMT news anchor position.
On June 26th, 1995, 27 year old Jodi participated in a golf tournament and, according to Mason City resident John Vansice, she went to his home to view a video tape of the birthday party that he had arranged for her earlier in the month.
A co-worker assisted in searching Jodi's apartment, which showed no signs of a struggle.
Witnesses near her reported hearing a scream from the parking lot shortly after 4:00 a.m. A neighbor that lived nearby reported seeing a white van with its running lights on parked in Jodi's parking lot at about the same time. This van was never positively identified. It is believed that Jodi was taken against her from the lot that morning. There has been no sign of her since that time.
Nathe isn’t convinced that only one person was responsible for the crime. Nathe said her sister’s landlord reported hearing “two different male voices” in the parking lot at the time and the sound of a loud muffler.
