It's been a mystery for 30 years what happened to a bubbly and beautiful television news anchor from Minnesota who vanished in the early morning hours of June 27, 1995.

Jodi Huisentruit, a Long Prairie native, was 27 years old when she disappeared on her way to work at KIMT in Mason City, Iowa. Since then, loved ones and strangers have continued to look for Huisentruit.

Caroline Lowe, a veteran crime reporter who worked at WCCO-TV in the Twin Cities for years, is a member of the nonprofit group FindJodi.com. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer on Morning Edition to discuss how the community and law enforcement are marking three decades since Huisentruit was seen last.
