We may soon know if a convicted sex offender serving time in Minnesota can be tied to the disappearance of Mason City TV anchor Jodi Huisentruit. Mason City police last week took finger and palm prints from 52-year-old Thomas Corscadden. That evidence is now in the hands of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, where officials say they hope to have an analysis done in the next two weeks. The prints were taken after Corscadden recently said in open court that Huisentruit was dead. The native of Long Prairie, Minnesota, was a TV news anchor in Mason City when she vanished more than nine years ago. At the time Corscadden was working in Albert Lea, about 35 miles away.
