Founders of the website “Find-Jodi-dot-com” (FindJodi.com) held an event in Mason City Iowa to mark missing former K-I-M-T T-V anchorwoman Jodi Huisentruit’s 50th birthday. They held the event near one of the billboards that have been recently put up in the city which say: “Someone knows something…is it YOU?, ” in an effort to raise awareness of her disappearance back in June of 1995. John Shine was the general manager at K-I-M-T at the time of Jodi’s disappearance and read a statement on behalf of Huisentruit’s family, saying they know if she was here today they’d be together marking her milestone birthday.https://soundcloud.com/wnax-radio/shine-606a

Jay Alberio is a former Woodbury Minnesota police investigator who now is part of the FindJodi team. Alberio hopes a tip to law enforcement, even if it’s an anonymous one, will bring the case to a close. https://soundcloud.com/wnax-radio/alberio-6065a

Alberio feels the billboards could be an effective tool to get someone to speak out about the case.

There are three permanent billboards featuring the message and another rotates in on a digital billboard near the North Iowa Events Center.
