() A search warrant in the case of Jodi Huisentruit has been partially unsealed, revealing GPS data obtained by officers.
Huisentruit, a news anchor in Mason City, Iowa, disappeared in 1995. The case remains unsolved, though investigators believe it could still be cracked.
The search warrant reveals that police tracked John Vancise’s car and truck from Iowa to his new home in Arizona in March of 2017. Little else was revealed in the unsealed portion of the warrant.
Vancise was considered a person of interest in the case.
Huisentruit was reported missing when she failed to show up for her early morning shift as a news anchor. Her belongings, including a key and her red high heels, were found scattered in the parking lot of her apartment complex.
Police believe Huisentruit was abducted, and her family had her declared dead in 2001, but she has never been found.
Vansice, an acquaintance of Huisentruit’s, was believed to be the last person to see her alive and was considered a person of interest but never named as a suspect or charged in her case.
Vanice’s family petitioned for the warrant to be unsealed to clear his name after his death in 2024.
Huisentruit’s family objected, fearing information in the warrant could compromise the investigation if it were made public.
