Police Pinpoint Source of Huisentruit's Diary Leak
MASON CITY (AP) - Investigators say they have identified a former police chief's wife as the person responsible for sending a copy of a missing television anchor's diary to the Mason City newspaper.
Authorities say Cheryl Ellingson, wife of former Chief David Ellingson, admitted she sent the journal to the Globe Gazette. It had belonged to 27-year-old Jodi Huisentruit who disappeared on her way to KIMT-TV in June 1995. The newspaper received a copy of the 84-page journal in a large envelope with no return address and a June 4 postmark from Waterloo. Police officials say that when David Ellingson resigned he inadvertently took a copy of the diary. They say his wife found the copy as they were preparing to move and decided to share it with the Globe Gazette. Investigators say no laws were broken and no charges will be filed. More Good Stuff |
