MASON CITY — A former Mason City police officer said Thursday two Mason City police officers and a retired state DCI agent may have been involved in the abduction and possible murder of Jodi Huisentruit.

Further, she alleges police officials may be covering up what really happened by their failure to follow up on leads she has provided.

Maria Ohl, who was terminated from the police department last month, made the accusations while speaking to the media after a Civil Service Commission meeting at City Hall Thursday....

Ohl said she received credible information from an informant implicating Lt. Frank Stearns, Lt. Ron Vande Weerd and Bill Basler of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, who is now retired.

She is a 10 year veteran and got information in 2007 and 2009 and passed it on. She was suspended last year but attends a Church that was libeled by two Mason City officers. The Church sued and got a settlement earlier this year.

1. An angry woman saying someone "may have been involved"?

Arrest them, :sarcasm:

2. Yeah if a woman is angry there is no way she could be credible.

:sarcasm:

It looks as though they attacked her church and her to attack her credibility. Nobody has had a chance to check out her information or sources. Strange but stranger things have happened even in Iowa.

3. If you're familiar with this case, this accusation isn't all

that surprising. I've always wondered if the TV reporter who was abducted wasn't just a little too close to some information damaging to the local police department. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this new accusation. Since the abduction was in 1995, the case is pretty cold.
