B. Bop. ,

Thank you!

I remember when Jodi went missing. I was a little girl living in Mason City at the time and I remember being confused when she wasn’t the one on the air. I explicitly remember Amy Kuns taking over that day and then later, I remember hearing the broadcast that Jodi was missing. As someone who currently lives in MN, but has spent a majority of my life in the southern MN/northern IA area, Jodi’s disappearance is close to home. The fact that I’ve lived in the Austin area and have heard Josh Benson’s voice in my living room on many different occasions makes this feel that much closer.

All that is to say, I feel personally connected to this story and the Find Jodi team. I appreciate the work that this team has done to get her story out there and to find answers. This podcast was incredibly informative, it gave me insight into things that I hadn’t otherwise known, cleared up things that didn’t make sense or that I had more questions about.

I hope to see another episode soon, hopefully one with big developments. Fingers crossed!

Soooo outstanding! So much insight and detail regarding Jodi’s abduction. I appreciate all the hard work (voluntarily) of these folks. I hope someone finds it in their heart to come forward with some pertinent information after all these years
