Where's Jodi?

Jodi Huisentruitt has been missing for 10 years now.

Minnesotans know who I'm talking about: Jodi was a pretty blonde morning anchor at a small Iowa TV station. She was apparently abducted in her apartment parking lot one early morning as she walked to her car to drive to work.

Her disappearance stuck with me: I was a struggling journalist, she was a struggling journalist, and she looked eerily like my college roommate, who was herself working her way up in the broadcast world at the time. Like Jacob Wetterling, this is one of those cases that seemingly dead-ended shortly after the mysterious abduction, and it occasionally flits through my mind and I wish it could be resolved. Not knowing, perhaps, is worse than knowing the worst.
