In recent years, authorities began taking a closer look at a man named Jerry Burns, who was arrested and convicted in the 1979 abduction and murder of 18-year-old Michelle Martinko. As reported by CBS News, Burns was not arrested until 2018, when DNA evidence confirmed he was responsible for Martinko's death. While being questioned about Martinko's case, Burns reportedly began talking about Jodi Huisentruit's unsolved disappearance.

Burns did not admit any involvement in Huisentruit's disappearance. However, authorities noted several disturbing similarities between Huisentruit and Martinko, including the young women's appearance and the fact that they were both abducted from parking lots. At this time, authorities have not named Burns as a person of interest or a suspect in Huisentruit's case.

In January 2022, an episode of ABC's "20/20" raised renewed interest in Huisentruit's unsolved disappearance. According to Find Jodi, the two-hour episode included interviews with current and former members of the Mason City Police Department, journalists, and podcasters. The episode also included an interview with Tony Jackson, who was a person of interest in the case.
