My Theory

This is my personal theory. I think Jodi had a male guest the night before her abduction. For whatever reason, discretion was required. Maybe this was a new relationship she wasn’t ready to tell people about because she didn’t know if it had a future, or maybe she already knew it didn’t; she was by all I’ve read focused on her career at that point in her life, so maybe this wasn’t meant to be serious or lasting. Maybe it was a more casual encounter, though I am not suggesting Jodi was a promiscuous person, from what I’ve read she wasn’t. Or perhaps the man was married? Bottom line, she wanted to keep this part of her life private.

 

I don’t believe she visited JV’s apartment to watch the birthday party video. I think she either stopped by on her way home or called him and made an excuse, like she was too tired after the golf tournament or had a headache, if they indeed really had plans to meet, or maybe they didn’t have plans, since the video story comes solely from him. As I said in an earlier post, Jodi, JV, and her female friends picked up the birthday video on Sunday afternoon and supposedly watched it then since it was a rainy day and they couldn’t go out on the boat waterskiiing again as they had Saturday. (page 66 Dead Air) If that is true, it just seems like this tape is getting an excessive amount of viewing.

 

JV was either concerned about her, if she made an excuse and blew him off or stood him up without explanation, or, even if they didn’t have any plans to meet, was just curious what she was doing and stopped by her apartment. He would have known her car and seen it in the parking lot. I think he was the man banging on her door shouting “Jodi, I know you’re in there.”

 

She was there, but she wasn’t alone. She and her companion ignored him and waited quietly for him to go away.

 

JV was known to have a hair-trigger temper, I’ve been re-reading Beth Bednar’s book “Dead Air” and she says Jodi told friends this made her uncomfortable, she even confided in one person she wanted to end the friendship but was worried how he might react. (page 126 Dead Air).

 

I think JV stewed and obsessed all that night about Jodi and how much he wanted her and all he had done for her and was waiting for her early the next morning. He knew her habits and her car so he knew she hadn’t left yet. I don’t know Jodi’s habit regarding calling in sick, but if this was something she rarely or never did, he may have known that too and that it was just a matter of time before she came out. If it's true she had a habit of being late for work, maybe he knew that too and that her guard might be down as she was rushing to get to work. I think a confrontation did happen between them in the parking lot as Jodi was hurrying to her car and even though Jodi was a person who hated confrontations I think she had finally had it and told him off and to just back off and cool it and that she wasn't interested in being his girlfriend or in continuing their friendship anymore and his temper got the better of him and he attacked her. Maybe he didn’t mean to kill her, or maybe he did, or maybe she was just unconscious, maybe she lived for a little while afterwards but he obviously couldn't let her go on living, whatever the case he had to act fast and cover up. Whatever he did, he just got really lucky.

 

I think her overnight guest is the reason for the raised toilet seat, the made bed, and the different brand of beer cans. I think he slept through Jodi’s abduction, maybe he got spooked when the phone kept ringing with follow-up phone calls to her apartment and left then, or maybe he left shortly after she did and only found out about it later in the day. Or maybe he did see something, possibly her possessions strewn in the parking lot and realize something was very wrong. But he did not come forward because for whatever reason he did not want to become involved.

 

This is just my personal theory based on what I’ve heard and read.

Lee you may be onto something.  Was reading that the Miata was possibly a gift from another man she may have been dating, but kept quiet for whatever reasons only Jodi and that man would know.  I too read that Jodi didn't like confrontation and did whatever she could to avoid it.  I wonder if she told JV that she was going to return the Miata to the other man just to placate JV?  Avoid a jealous or angry confrontation?

I also read that they viewed the birthday video tape the Sunday after this weekend water skiing trip because of rain.  Why would she need to watch it again so soon?  Kind of makes you wonder if the story that Jodi was over the night before her disappearance was made up for another reason.  Maybe because her DNA or some belongings of hers might be found at someone's home and he needed a cover story should the police come to search it.  Jodi had reportedly called a friend out of state and spoke to the friend's husband which contradicts the time frame that JV gave for Jodi being at his home to re-watch the birthday tape.

After watching JV interview on everything. I feel JV showed up at Jodi's apartment. Possibly brought beer and the tape to watch again. Something to make Jodi reminence on a time she had so much fun. And JV then admitting he wanted more of a relationship. She could of said she didn't feel that way. He could of used the toilet. Did the look for DNA on the toilet seat? On the beer cans? I feel he left mad and his temper got the beat of him. Especially since he felt he was such an important part of her life in his mind. I feel he came back with his temper and took her so no one else could have her if he couldn't. I feel he moved to AZ as Jodi had mentioned wanting to find a station there. He feels he is where she wanted to be. I think he has kept a momento of her he has kept hidden. His new wife possibleknows more than she is saying. Where do I find what Name she yelled in the parking lot?

Did the police ever figure out who owned that white van people saw in her apartment complex parking lot that morning? I would think that would be very important.

i think this toilet seat being up is getting way more play than it’s worth.  As far as I’ve heard Jodi wasn’t serious about anyone.  Folks/women (eg me) leave the seat up while cleaning/soaking the bowl overnight for goodness sake...  She knew she had work early the next day & had told the golfer person she was headed home at 8pm.  It’s well known she was serious about her work but was known to be late often.  So it’s likely she did just go home & JV was mistaken/confused or lying...

From the timing it certainly sounded that the white van was seen parked in front of her apartment close to 4am; Amy called her around 4:10 am.  So that certainly sounds like someone was stalking her - waiting close to the door & grabbed her - despite the fact the area seemed to be well lit.  Anyone know if the apartment front door locked?  I’d make sense that it did - thus why they waited for her outside.

Has any search of the Forrest City lumberyard that Officer Ohm got the tip on?  All I saw reported was that she drove up there herself.  A through search with cadaver dogs should be done.

Ditto for the billboard tip - though it’d need to be done on whatever property was owned/lived in at the time (as it was reported he’d moved).

The Tiffon silo song tip research sounded hap-hazard too (in that apparently to locate the silo they located the farmer that the songster had prior dealings with & asked him if he knew of a silo in the area). Seriously?  He sent them up the road & they searched an abandoned farmstead silo.  1 of 3 dogs alerted - but they apparently dismissed that 1 alert?  Why?  And there’s no other silos in Tiffon?  I can’t believe that’s true....  Also last known this songster rapist jerk is still alive but says he had nothing to do with Jodi - that a buddy of his said was a lie (they had purposely gone to the bar she occasionally hung out at & songster jerk talked to her).  His buddy didn’t know why he denied having contact with Jodi.  Has he been interrogated further?

Then there’s Angela - that provided the locations of the bodies of the people Honken killed.  Was she asked straight-out if she knew where Jodi is?  Her letter to Caroline seemed genuine- that she was glad someone was still looking for Jodi.  If Jodi’s abduction was somehow drug-related it’s surely likely she would know..  I believe she had said Honken did - but he’s been executed (Tg). That seems to have been the last lead Steve had -that apparently never played out... And were both of those body-dump areas FULLY searched?  Or did they stop looking once the known bodies were found?

Then Jodi’s friend Billy Pruin that was mysteriously died of a gunshot- to his chest - with his keys in door & new tractor outside. Initially ruled a suicide?  Then after no GSR found, changed to “undetermined”?  Seriously?  How can that POSSIBLY stand?  Did anyone ever Bother to investigate?  WHY?It’s OBVIOUSLY a homicide...  Pruin has been rattling cages about the horrendous alarming uptick in the Meth usage around MC. And who was local & would that have ticked off?  Well Honken - for starters.  And Pruin had a farm S of MC.  I’m not familiar with it, but most farms have areas that are rarely traversed - similar to Honken’s body dump areas.  What do you bet that Billy got fingered to supply his - but refused?  And Jodi was either additional retribution &/or may have asked something she shouldn’t of the wrong person.  (She was new to the MC area, known to be naive & likely clueless to who/what was going on).

And another possibility...  Everyone seems to assume she’s no longer alive.  But she would’ve been a perfect “prize” to human traffic...  Drug dealers are in it for the Money!  As well as someone that may have lost their temper with her.  If they were “smart” EB - they may have trafficked her - thus why no body has been found.  I’m hoping that didn’t happen (no way to know which is worse) but she may still be alive - somewhere! So as you live you’re life & especially if you happen to be in a big city, keep her picture in mind & keep looking for her...  Scarily Human Trafficking is WAY more prevalent than most people have any clue of.

and WHY, after all this time without apparently ANY progress isn’t there more information of the investigation available?  Especially, as stated by Officer Stearns “We know nothing more now than we did the day she was abducted”) - nor the high likelihood they Ever Will!   They’re apparently even pulled rank over the DCI.  Why?  DCI has way more resources than MCPD does.  Or do they not WANT this solved? The MCPD should publish a comprehensive report of the investigation.

What say you MCPD?  You’ve had no success in 25+ years & no hope of EVER solving this!  What could it hurt to provide a full disclosure of the investigation & let the “second set of eyes” of the FindJodi & really the world have a better shot at solving it?  That’s a known best practice for any investigation...  Times a wasting...  We’re losing more folks as time wears on.  The time to act is NOW!  Jodi’s family & friends deserve Much Better!

Therein lies the primary problems.  So many questions - many of which Should be answered by now.  Some maybe are - we’re just not privy to that knowledge- per the guise of a 25+ yo failure of MCPD & IA DCI to solve this,  It all stinks of a whole lot of Evil B - yet to be disclosed.

Personally I surely hope there is a Hell so, at minimum, those responsible will be served their dues when they leave this world.

So as you live you’re life & especially if you happen to be in a big city, keep her picture in mind & keep looking for her...  Scarily Human Trafficking is WAY more prevalent than most people have any clue.

What say you MCPD?  You’ve had no success in 25+ years & no hope of EVER solving this!  What could it hurt to provide a full disclosure of the investigation & let the “second set of eyes” of the FindJodi & really the world have a better shot at solving it?  That’s a known best practice for any investigation...  Times a wasting...  We’re losing more folks as time wears on.  The time to act is NOW!  Jodi’s family & friends deserve Much Better!

Therein lies the primary problems.  So many questions - many of which Should be answered by now.  Some maybe are - we’re just not privy to that knowledge- per the guise of a 25+ yo failure of MCPD & IA DCI to solve this,  It all stinks of a whole lot of Evil B - yet to be disclosed.

Personally I surely hope there is a Hell so, at minimum, those responsible will be served their dues when they leave this world.

JH had to have info on DH and AJ. The reason I say this is because, I seen JH in Hyvee East grocery store late May early June of 95. She looked terrified when she saw me. I didn't think much of it at the time. Until I recently saw a pic of DH. Back then I somewhat resembled him. So to me the threat had already been expressed to JH! AJ saying her and DH would have talked to receive a lighter sentence is BS. RV retiring 2 weeks after DH execution? This isn't wrapped up like they want you to think. The dealers were high school friends from Britt Iowa! No mention of that anywhere that I know of. Wipe your memory of TJ or other tunnel vision misdirection. We have a serial killer out there circumstantially tied to Iowa Cold Cases. Can someone in Britt Iowa come forward with the info to convict this killer?

I have questions for Britt Iowa. Was DH such a wiz kid to come up with a 97% pure way of making meth? Remember our government couldn't match it in their lab I read somewhere. But 97% pure meth is coming in from Mexico now? Had it come in from Mexico to begin with? Maybe JV was the distributor and isolated from DH and AJ? AR from Britt resembles JV so much could be father/son. To me AR did the recruiting of the dealers for JV. Everywhere AR lives or is nearby a unsolved murder happens. Was AR and BE friends before the Jackie Folkerts murder? Because she could identify the man bragging about JH. What are the odds of AR being TD's roommate at a time where TD can implicate others in the meth ring? I've taken my inquiries to the PD which dead ended rather quickly. AR is the man we are looking for in the meth ring and murders of so many involved in this. Just need Britt Iowa and law enforcement to do their part.
 
Another thing that bothers me is SR being the sole fact finding person in this mystery. #1 He was JH's agent #2 The only person able to interview JV #3 Has evidence (boat video) in his possession #4 Becomes an Iowa-licensed private investigator. What kind of person gets to have that much influence in a murder investigation? 25 yrs have gone by. Start talking about what you know, not what the news tells you to think!
 
 
Maybe some on this list of Britt Graduates can come forward with info on the meth ring. Looks like it was a recruiting site. AR seems to brag to the ones he is about to kill. Come forward with your info and get this POS off the streets and these families closure!

I've done my part in reporting what I have discovered. Frustration at the lack of effort on some departments makes you wonder why it hasn't been turned over to a higher authority?  So many questions would poke holes in this case. Why am I the only one willing to address these issues in a public forum? Nor has their been any effort to reach out by the authorities/public or this site? Only KNOW SOMETHING that goes along with your thoughts on the case? If nothing changes, nothing changes!

I think the toilet seat being up was eventually attributed to a police officer who checked out, but did not consider her apartment as a crime scene
