Jodi Huisentruit’s family has issued a statement about the 2017 search warrant concerning a person of interest in the Iowa news anchors disappearance.

Huisentruit disappeared on June 27, 1995, while on the way to her morning anchor job at KIMT in Mason City, Iowa.

The family’s statement comes days after a hearing was held on whether a 2017 search warrant related to the person of interest, John Vancise, could be unsealed.

“As a family, we’ve received a number of inquiries about the legal battle currently playing out in the courts with Jodi’s case,” the statement said. “Without getting too deep into the weeds, we all agree that if the release of the information would hinder the investigation in any way, then the search warrant should remain sealed. We are not onboard with the information being released to the public, especially while the investigation is open and ongoing. We do recognize there are a number of differing opinions on this – we respect that and ask that you respect ours as well. At this time, this is our only public comment to make on this matter.”
