Authorities in Polk County, Iowa are investigating the discovery of human remains in Des Moines.
Human bones were found by children playing in a dirt pile on March 17th.
Polk County detectives initially said only that the remains appear ‘old’.
No other information has been released to the public. At this time, we have no reason to believe this discovery is related to Jodi’s case.
A local police investigation is ongoing. Mason City Police are also aware of the find.

I wish that there would be some kind of answer or closure for Jodi’s family and friends..Not that I would want her to be deceased but in all liklihood,she probably is..
I didn’t think Jodi at first. My first thought was maybe it’s Johnny Gosch related.
Johnny Gosch is alive.
I hope it’s Jodi she needs closure
Jeez you hope it is jodi ? That’s creepy to say.
They aren’t saying it to be creepy. They are stating that there needs to be closure. It’s very sad and as much as people including myself hope she’s alive, but looking at the possibilities it’s very unlikely. It’s been 25 years. Even if she was found alive, do you know the psychological torture she would have gone through? She wouldn’t be the same person. It’s most likely that she’s deceased unfortunately. So getting remains is very sad yes. But it’s something closer to getting the person who took her prosecuted.
Any update on who it is? This article hasn’t been updated. And it’s been like 2 months since we heard about the remains
How do you know Johnny Gosch is alive? His family deserves closure, not speculation ..
Has there been any findings issued on the remains found in March 2020?
Thank you for the work that you are doing to find Jodi.
