00:00:08
[Applause] so I've been approached with a very interesting theory on the Jodi huisentruit case mm-hmm so we covered
00:00:22
that what the beginning of May well you know so Jodi was this woman that 25 years old roughly all indications was
00:00:34
that she was abducted just outside of her apartment in the early morning hours back in 1995 so this person that
00:00:45
approached me with this theory says hey look this is not just a theory it's also
00:00:51
something that I have some first-hand knowledge about and I'm like first-hand knowledge about what you know and they
00:00:59
say well I'm like 99% sure I know who abducted and killed Jodi who's Andrew for people who haven't listened that's
00:01:10
episode mm that's episode 208 209 did you say two thousand and the year I don't know that will make it to episode
00:01:22
two thousand it's been a very long weekend so a fourth of July so okay so here's here's the story well let's go
00:01:32
let's go back just a little bit because we've been contacted by victims family members friends people that have you
00:01:44
know we've reported on people as suspects and then we get contact by them we've been contacted by some of the
00:01:51
suspects yes yeah and it's um if you would have told me when we started years ago that you
00:01:58
know that that would happen I wouldn't expect it I mean I'm I'm shocked by the amount of people that
00:02:05
will contact us I'm also shocked by the amount of people that are willing to talk with us even after you know I call
00:02:14
them a piece of [ __ ] well I wouldn't I wouldn't have believed that would have happened in a million years because I
00:02:21
mean we're talking when we first started doing this we just we sat down in a garage cracked a few beers
00:02:26
hit record we didn't actually even think anybody would would listen right alone let alone call us or email but this is a
00:02:35
tricky thing to talk about katham because we if I'm going to reveal this theory I have to really throw somebody
00:02:41
under the bus here but this is all this is all information coming from a source this is not my
00:02:49
opinion this is not me saying this is what happened right basically what you're saying this is a theory there
00:02:55
this is what I've been told right this we don't have the evidence to back this up so this this person tells me that in
00:03:03
1995 that they moved to Forest City Iowa and started working for at a company that's like within the Winnebago
00:03:13
industries okay so like when am Winnebagos this huge company and they probably have smaller companies that do
00:03:20
work for them right he says that when he started working there 1995 this is the same year that the Jodi was abducted he
00:03:32
says that he worked with two other people in his department one of them was a man by the name of Randy and I'll just
00:03:40
go ahead and leave his last name out he's me it's easy to find and you'll know who this guy is in a little bit and
00:03:46
then there was another guy there that worked with Randy and his name would have been we'll call him Todd okay so
00:03:54
Randy and Todd already work in this small department at this company that works does work for wind a bit and
00:04:02
Winnebago okay you follow me so far mm-hmm when this guy gets to work now his department is three members three
00:04:11
men strong okay anyway he says Randy was his manager and had trained him on his job and Randy lived in Mason City which
00:04:23
is about 45 minutes from Forest City so remember Jodie lived in Mason City and this person went on to tell me that
00:04:34
Randy lived quote very close to Jodi's apartment that in fact Randy lived on Kentucky
00:04:41
Avenue which is the same street as the key apartments where Jodie lived now immediately when he's telling me this
00:04:52
story I already knew who this Randy guy is that he's talking about now Randy is the guy that was driving past the key
00:05:03
Apartments on his way into work that morning when he said that he saw a light-colored van possibly white with
00:05:11
its flashers on so all these years that's been a suspicious vehicle let's say right in
00:05:19
this case the problem with that statement according to this person to the source that I spoke to he says that
00:05:30
in Randy's statement that he gave to police and gave to the media he says that I saw this van on my way into work
00:05:38
that day this individual said Randy was not at work that day the other guy that he worked with was not at work that day
00:05:47
either hmm so these two individuals were absent from work they were both supposed
00:05:52
to be there but they didn't show up to work he remembers this specifically because he was he said he was look I was
00:06:00
pissed off we have three men in our department I'm the only one that showed up that day I worked my ass off that day
00:06:06
and he didn't know much about Jodie who's in true heat and this is where it's gonna get a little thicker here he
00:06:19
says that that's what she said he had overheard Randy and Todd discussing a woman named Jodi mm-hmm many times and
00:06:29
he said that they they joked and laughed about harassing her remember there was some rumor that she might have been
00:06:39
stalked that she had a stalker right he said that they joked about following her when she would go out
00:06:46
jogging and that they would put no and flowers on her doorstep and he didn't put two and two together he
00:06:55
didn't know even though Jodie was this kind of famous person because she was on the news she was a news anchor he didn't
00:07:04
know he didn't put it two and two together that Jody that they were talking about at work was the news
00:07:10
anchor all he knew because he started working with these guys about two or three months before she was abducted
00:07:18
right and he had just moved to the area himself he was not from Iowa so when he gets there he hears the two guys that he
00:07:26
works with talking about harassing this young woman named Jody and all he can remember is it's Jody and she has a what
00:07:34
he said was a funny last name he didn't write at the time didn't recall what the
00:07:38
last name was so he says
