Person of Interest in Jodi Huisentruit Case Connected to Wisconsin Murder

It's a case that's captivated Iowans, and the country, since the day it happened. Jodi Huisentruit was a 32-year-old news anchor that disappeared back in June 1995 in Mason City, IA. She disappeared in the early morning hours of June 27, 1995 after telling a colleague that she had overslept and was running late for work.

When Huisentruit still hadn't made it to work by 7am, Mason City Police were notified. Her vehicle was found at her apartment, along with a bent car key, her high heels, and evident signs of a struggle. To date, she is believed to have been abducted, but extensive investigations have failed to uncover any concrete evidence as to what happened or where her remains could be.

Who is Christopher Revak?:

Christopher Revak, who was named a person of interest in the Huisentruit case, was just found responsible for the 2006 murder of a 21-year-old man, per KCCI and the Wood County District Attorney.

21-year-old Deidre Harm was last seen in June 2006. Following another review of evidence, the district attorney concluded that Revak was responsible for her murder. Revak, on the other hand, died by suicide in a Missouri jail. He was facing a homicide charge related to the death of another woman.

Revak's Connection to Jodi Huisentruit:

The Wood County Sheriff believes Revak could be responsible for the disappearance of Huisentruit. Revak's ex-wife was living in Mason City the year that the news anchor went missing, and the Wood County Sheriff stated that there are similarities between the woman Revak murdered and Huisentruit, per KCCI.

Waiting for a Big Break in the Case:

The last significant development related to the disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit was back in November, when Iowa investigators traveled to Winsted, MN, roughly three hours north of Mason City, in October.

Unfortunately, per multiple sources including KCCI, the tip has proven to be empty. Winsted Police Chief Justin Heldt confirmed to FindJodi.com that no human remains were found during the October 18th search of land that is currently being set-up for the development of a new apartment complex. Police Chief Heldt noted that it's not unusual to find animal bones in a rural area like Winsted.
