MASON CITY, Iowa – Police don’t want public access to a search warrant from seven years ago in their investigation into the disappearance and presumed slaying of television anchor Jodi Huisentruit almost 30 years ago. County Attorney Carlyle Dalen told a judge that police still regard the case as open. Implicit in the police position is that the contents of the search warrant, issued in 2017, could tip the guilty person. Police acknowledge the warrant was a dead-end. Even so, the wararnt would include the police rationale to the judge at time on why they needed authorization for the search.
