MASON CITY, Iowa (KIMT) —
Former KIMT anchor Jodi Huisentruit disappeared June 27, 1995, and it is a day Kevin Hook remembers well.
“When I was younger, I lived by Harding Elementary School, and I would ride my bike to the park a lot,” Hook said. “My mom, for the longest time, would freak out and said I should never ride my bike near the apartments where she was abducted.”
The Mason City Police Department continues to follow up on leads in the case.
KIMT News 3 learned that within the past year, Mason City police requested a search warrant of two vehicles.
Those vehicles belong to Arthur “John” Vansice.
According to online court documents, police requested in March 2017 GPS data for a 1999 Honda Civic and 2013 GMC 1500, which is giving hope to Hook.
“Just being an open case for so long I, think it would be very good to know what happened, what her last hours, days, were like,” he said.
Mason City Police Chief Jeff Brinkley said he can't discuss why the two vehicles are important to the case or details about the search warrant.
“There’s investigative integrity that we are looking to preserve,” Brinkley said. “I’m not going to talk about the technology that we use to do this kind of stuff.”
But he does want the public to know they aren’t done searching.
“We are going to continue to use all of the resources at our disposal and the disposal of other agencies that we have been working with since day one,” Brinkley said. “I think at some point, someday, it will pay off and we will clear the case.”
