Gone Before Daylight

She was the voice that woke up a town. Then, one morning before sunrise, she vanished without a trace. On June 27, 1995, beloved Iowa news anchor Jodi Huisentruit failed to show up for her early morning broadcast. Her red car was found in the parking lot. Her belongings were scattered. And just like that, she was gone. Three decades later, the Hulu and ABC News Studios documentary, Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit reopens one of America's most haunting cold cases. This companion movie guide dives deep into every chilling detail, every turning point, and every shadowy figure from the series with new insight, context, and emotional resonance. It is written both as a true crime chronicle and a tribute. With gripping analysis and emotional clarity, author Harold Belles brings you behind the camera, behind the investigation, and deep into the heart of a story that refuses to fade. She may be gone, but her voice still echoes. And the search for truth is far from over.
