The new billboard in town could lead the way to someone not sitting in silence anymore.
“You just never know where a tip or a bit of information is going to come from. And so I think it’s a good value to have constantly reinforced and out there in the public,” Ridge said.
Scott Fuller agrees. He works here at KAUS radio in Austin, and he’s an active member of the find Jodi Team.
“We’re hoping this might be the year. You never know, and that’s the point of the billboard, is to get people locally in Mason City who might know something about Jodi’s case to come forward,” Fuller said.
2012: Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins (Evansdale)
Cousins Lyric, 10, and Elizabeth, 8, were abducted while riding their bikes in Evansdale in Black Hawk County on July 13, 2012. Their bodies were later found in rural Bremer County, about 25 miles away.
No suspects have ever been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made. A $50,000 reward still is offered in the case.
1995: Jodi Huisentruit (Mason City)

At first glance it seemed like a cheeky owner had snuck two X-rated horse names past Racing Australia, but the governing body insists we re just pronouncing them wrong. Punters were having a giggle after a pair of nags named Lovin Deqoque and Get On Deqoque appeared in separate races at a meeting at Daegon Racecourse north of Brisbane on Tuesday. The horses, both trained by Darryl Ward and ridden by jockey Bobby El-Issa, finished fourth and second in their respective races but it was their unusual monikers which caught the attention of racing fans and even made headlines overseas. Interesting how the #1 in Trial 8 and #5 in Trial 9 got through the system when named, Steve Ridge tweeted.
