“Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit” (Tuesday, July 15)
In 1995, rising TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit disappeared from her Iowa apartment just before dawn, leaving behind signs of a violent abduction. Her case quickly became one of the nation’s most haunting unsolved mysteries. Now, 30 years later, “Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit” follows a major break that reenergized the case. Sparked by a 2022 “20/20” episode, a tip from one of Huisentruit’s close friends led Mason City Police to reveal a secret clue they had kept hidden for decades. In this fast-paced, true-crime series, cameras exclusively embed with the case’s law enforcement team as they doggedly follow new leads, conduct intense interviews, and embark on searches that lead them to two new persons of interest — all while growing closer than ever to answering the question: What happened to Jodi?

This three-part docuseries features over 20 new interviews, which include Huisentruit’s family, friends and her former colleagues; an unprecedented archive of Huisentruit’s life and career, including rare access to KIMT-TV, where Huisentruit’s abandoned desk remains untouched; and exclusive, real-time access to the investigation and breaks in the case — including never-before-seen material and new, groundbreaking information. An exploration of the power of persistence, public memory and journalism, “Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit” breathes new life into one of the country’s most haunting unsolved mysteries.

After Rudolph is forced to choose between his wife of 34 years, Bianca, and his mistress, one of them is found dead in his safari cabin in Zambia. The local authorities rule it an accident, but back in the U.S., suspicions mount.

Years later, suspicions grew after Brian and Kathy divorced, and Brian married Denise. What first appeared to be a tragic accident soon pointed to something far more sinister.
