Episode Details

On the morning of June 27th, 1995, 27-year-old KIMT-TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit answered a call from her producer, saying she'd overslept and was on her way in. She never arrived.

What police found in the parking lot of her Mason City, Iowa apartment — a bent car key, a pair of red heels, a hairdryer, drag marks leading away from her car — told them immediately that this was no ordinary missing person case. It was an abduction.

Violent, fast, and planned by someone who knew exactly when Jodi would be walking to that car in the dark. In Part One, we walk through who Jodi was, the last night anyone can account for, the chilling scene that greeted investigators that morning, and the thing nobody talks about enough — the harassing phone calls, the white truck, the phone number she was one day away from changing.

Someone had been watching Jodi Huisentruit for a long time before June 27th.

This is where it begins.
