Apparently she was staying with Nekima and when she walked out of the hotel room she was tackled and arrested. I’m sure we will hear more.

Hennepin County judge deciding whether to withdraw guilty plea of woman facing deportation Mai Vang pleaded guilty to theft by swindle in 2020 and already served her prison sentence. Now the prosecution and defense both want the plea withdrawn.

Interesting case playing out in Hennepin County as the County Attorney's Office and the Public Defender both ask the judge to withdraw the guilty plea of a woman detained by ICE. Five years ago the office sent out press releases on the "ginseng scam." www.kare11.com/article/news...

Tip leads Jodi Huisentruit investigators to Minnesota city for search Reporter Caroline Lowe of FindJodi.com says Mason City police traveled to Winsted, Minn. in October to check on a lead in the decades-old case.

I've confirmed that no human remains were found in the search in Winsted for Jodi Huisentruit. They did find some animal bones -- not unusual in an area that consists/consisted of farmland for generations. The discovery of "bones" started rumors in the community.
