I just wanted to know how Jodi acted the day before at work. Did she talk about anything strange going on around her. If Jodi got any strange calls or anyone strange hanging around the parking lot at work.

Thanks for the interview. And thanks to Amy for agreeing to do it. Amy didn't hold back. Her hunch on a susect has been the same as mine, which I've posted before on the forum.

I had always believed Amy and Jodi were closer than just having a business relationship. I'm glad Amy set the record straight. Amy wasn't even invited to her birthday party. She also raised the possibility of drugs being involved. But as to the person responsible, I totally agree with her that Vansice is the top suspect.

The situation of the color of vehicles tends to frustrate me because most people in here cannot separate the two. Need to go back to the old newspaper articles and research this. Lets back up our arguments and opinions on what color a truck was and what color a van was.

After almost 16 years this is what I have always understood.

1) There was a truck that followed her when she was either jogging or roller blading.
What color was that???? Black or White???? I had the impression it was BLACK, but would have to go back to the articles in the Global Gagette to check that. Go to the paper and then do their search in there.

2) What color was the van that was seen a few different times prior in the parking lot of the apartment building? WHITE VAN!!! No doubts in my mind about this because I talked to someone who had an encounter with it and saw the two men in it. One white with a fishing hat on who turned and tried to hide his face and One black man who they can describe who started to get out of the van before this person was frightened away. A black man who they later saw near the Rail Road station in Mason City.

3) Now the actual vehicle or vehicles the morning of the abduction? One neighbor passing by says white van. In the interview on Nancy Grace Lt Sterns said again a white van! Was it the same one???? Very possible.

It was described as a while van with only a drivers window on one side and maybe more windows on the passenger side like the old Ford Eccono Vans back then.

I read with interest some of the comments especially the negative comments about negative comments.

First off Gary and Josh have done a spectacular job keeping a case open that could easily been swept under the rug,(Pun intended). However, no one is accusing Amy of anything. There are comments she made that would spark the curious. If we are not curious why are we here. The quick points I made are questions that jump off the page.

Without an ability to post our thoughts and comments, why bother?. Just let Gary and Josh publish articles without comment. I honestly don't think that is the intention of this site. This site is to bring back to the attention of the public what happened to someone who vanished in thin air. A local newswoman people cared about even just to get their news in the morning. I know Houdini had nothing to do with her disappearance and I also know after all these years the authorities have been no help in giving out even the most minute shed of information that could help find her by seeking help from the public.

With that said I'll end the comment, the police know more than us obviously and do not require our help. I welcome a rapid and quick conclusion to this case, after all, there are new eyes on that dusty bin where Jodi's file is located.

The interview was a very interesting read. I think it gave more insight into Jodi´s personality than even her diary did, at least in the parts made public. It is quite clear AK did not like Jodi. She apparently shares my suspicion Jodi may have been using drugs. I´m just thinking LE should have been able to find out who her supplier was. Wonder if Jodi´s appartment and car were checked for traces of drugs. It´s a bit curious AK mentions a certain coworker by name, and I can´t help thinking she did this for a reason. It´s also kind of strange the boss never noticed Jodi was late for work at least once a week. Just some random thoughts and impressions.

Yes I saw it.

I thought it was only speculation on her part and didn't follow the rules of the forum. However, it answered the question some people were curious about. She really doesn't know what really happened to Jodi any more than any of us.

I want to make a few points here for everyone to consider:

First, I think Amy wanted to like Jodi, it's looks like it was a case of Type A personality vs. Type B. From the way it sounds Jodi was tough to work with and burdened Amy with much of the work. Not a health work relationship at all. (I have been in the same situation) After a few months, you begin to just go through the motions and you develop animosity torwards the person with the Type A personality. Explains why they weren't friends outside of work. This could have been a factor in why Amy waited to call police. Not that she wished Jodi harm, she just didn't care for the circumstances of her being late and was there to do her job and only her job.

Secondly, I want to comment on the interview itself. AK waited 16 years to do this interview. It became clear this case went cold 10 years ago. Why did she wait so long? Seems she finally left the news anchoring behind and moved on in December, so now she feels like she can finally do an interview about it. But wait, she then contacts findjodi.com to remove what she thinks happened. Wow. Something fishy is going on here with her story and why/how she does interviews.

I also am one to believe that this is only bits and pieces of the actual interview. Seems like there are a lot of holes here. Anyone agree?

Amy has been doing interviews for the last 16 years. If you mean the type of interview she did - more revealing - I agree. I think she was getting tired of people assuming she and Jodi were close and that perhaps she should know more than she does. People also tend to highlight someone's positive characteristics when they die out of sympathy for the family. I think enough time has passed for Amy to be more transparent when talking about Jodi. Jodi wasn't perfect. I also understand Amy's role as an assistant and how she saw their relationship strictly as a business relationship. That might explain why Amy didn't complain to her supervisors that Jodi was frequently late out of fear of retribution. Jodi could have made Amy's life even more difficult by snapping at her more frequently. I would also like to know if Jodi snapped at Amy during the course of their relationship, or if it had been fairly recent, which could indicate that Jodi was feeling a lot of pressure due to something going on in her personal life.

Simon,

Some of my comments exactly. I asked in the past if her friends noticed any mood swings in Jodi. Wouldn't you be jittery if you thought someone was following you?. Wouldn't you be snippy or maybe become irritable at things that would seem trivial to most people including yourself. If you were a morning news anchor and you feared for your life why wouldn't you let your boss know? What we don't know is was it Jodi who requested the police escort or was it from management at the station. These are the types of things we need to know. Exactly when was that threshold breached where she becomes fearful, jittery, behaving irrationally for her and noticeably to others. Then we need to know who were the people who where in her life new and old, when that moment occurs, because it all comes crashing down not long after.

Why is this relevant, because if her behavior is totally normal she fears no one she knows, if her personality changes something is happening she fears and that would include old friends.

Someone also posted about the person pounding on the door. If they had nothing to do with her disappearance why haven't they come forward and said so. Maybe they have to the police, we will never know that. But, if they haven't then they are much more relevant to the ultimate events than we know. The same question could be asked of the person from church.

Also please, Josh or Gary, post the article on Lenee Goode again. If you have a reason not to OK, but please let us know if she has been interviewed since the article by the police if you know.
