I have been tracking Keith Nelson from Florida to Iowa to Minnesota to Kansas for nearly five years. I have helped solve over a dozen murders since I can remember. My last solved Minnesota murder was the Cally Jo Larson murder, Waseca, Minnesota. Most recent murder case was serial killer Robert Pickton, Vancouver BC. I said killers love to brag, 49 murders the last I heard. Mark Hacking was guilty of three!

The Stearns County Minnesota Sheriff has had the checkbook of Jodi S. Huisentruit for the past 12 years! The fingerprints of her killer were found all over them. The fingerprints belong to Nelson. Nelson tried to forge two of Jodi’s checks before he realized that he couldn’t get them cashed. His hand writing is also on the two checks. The Kansas City Police Department recovered the clothing belonging to the late Jodi S. Huisentruit in 1999, during the murder investigation of the late Pamela Butler who was raped and strangled to death with a length of stereo speaker wire, the money for the sound system went for new tires, the old ones could be traced to the scene of the abduction of Julie Ann Holmquist. They were STILL traced to her abduction and murder. The knife with the broken tip was the murder weapon in the murder of Julie Ann Holmquist. The knife tip was recovered during the autopsy of Julie Ann Holmquist. Julie was rollerblading five miles from home because of a new boyfriend. He gave her his class ring, it was worth nearly, 300 dollars. He wants his class ring back, and the State of Kansas crime lab has it! Keith Dwayne Nelson is a serial killer, and he collects “souvenirs” from each victim he’s killed, five so far. He can be found here.

No offense but my B.S. alarm is going off. If this guy was the murderer, no way in hell would the police be trying to protect him especially if he’s a serial killer. It makes no sense and this e-mail is only being used for sensationalism. His journey doesn’t make sense either. If he’s randomly traveling around doing serial killing, how did he stumble on Jodi, a well known news reporter in a small market town in Iowa. Coincidence? I doubt it.
I don’t deny he could be a serial killer but it’s ridiculous to think the police would withhold this evidence from the public if they new as far back as 1999. It doesn’t add up.

The Kansas City Kansas Police Department know that Nelson has killed other women/girls but they don’t know who they are. I have been tracking Keith Nelson for nearly five years. I found the blue jogging shorts and red t-shirt worn by the late Julie Ann Holmquist, I also found her boyfriend’s class ring. The REAL reason she was five miles from home! She was STABBED TO DEATH, not shot, as surmised by a not too bright Steve Hagenah of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Mr Hagenah has been in Law Enforcement for 35 years, and still doesn’t know how to read an autopsy report. Julie was stabbed to death and the knife with the tip of the blade missing was found in Nelson’s van. Clothing worn by the late Jodi Huisentruit was also found in the van, including her purse and her gold diamond ring. Jodi’s remains were found in STEARNS COUNTY MINNESOTA! Jodi’s body was obstructing a drainage ditch on a farmer’s field. Wheat or barley were grown on one half and soybeans on the other. They pulled what they thought was a log and was surprised to find a woman’s corpse. Jodi was wearing panties, bra nylon knee his and cheap white woman’s deck shoes. Jodi had been stabbed to death. Her clothing found with stab wounds and covered in blood stains was recovered by the Kansas City Kansas Police and was sent to the state crime lab.

Because of the nature and subject of his insatiable rants, I have researched “James.” He is nothing more than a fruitloop who lives in his mother’s basement. A waste of bandwidth in all instances.

I don’t know who this James guy is or where he gets his information, but I am alive. Yes, I was one of Keith Nelson’s victims, but I got away.
I have a serious problem with his information simply because of what he alleges in my case about a knife found with my DNA on it. As far as I know, they never recovered the actual knife he used on me, and there was no DNA test done with my blood.
Maybe some of his information is valid, but I have a hard time with these rants of his simply because of the statements he has made regarding my incident with Keith Nelson.
Don’t doubt me, Keith Nelson is an evil man and has done horrible things and deserves to be put to death for his crimes, but I wish this man in the above rants would get his information straight instead of feeding false information to families of victims – it’s like giving someone false hope and that, in my opinion, is a crime.
God bless you all in your search for your loved ones, no one should ever have to go through such a thing. But I also believe that they should be given true information.

The remains of Jodi Sue Huisentruit can be found at the Saint Cloud Hospital morgue. Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Dr. Frederickson has been trying to get the skeletal remains identified for over twelve years! Jodi was last seen alive in Stearns county twelve years ago and the Stearns County Sheriff has Jodi’s checkbook on file at the Sheriff’s Office for the past twelve years. I wonder why I think I’m close to solving this case? Nelson is a known multiple serial killer and ALL of his victims look alike. The sign of a serial killer.

James,
This is absolutely FALSE. I have already talked with them and they said this is absolutely NOT true. And by the way, Dr. Frederickson is NOT the medical examiner there.

I think they need to go back over with a fine tooth comb the FBI files, and the persons whom were cleared in the investigation.
I think they will find plenty of motive, a cover-up, and finally the truth.

I’m in 7th grade and we each get a mystery in english and get to work on it and then have to do papers on it and I got Jodi’s case. I thought it was John Vansice the whole time until yesterday I saw info on this Nelson guy and so I checked it out. I’ve been up on the FindJodi websites and they don’t say anything about Nelson so I e-mailed them and they e-mailed back. Here’s a copy of the message from them.
Thank you for your information. There is a lot of information on the
Internet posted by various people. You must always keep in mind that it’s
not all true. The information you’ve provided me has been looked at and
there is no validity to it. Many authorities have proven it false, so please
remember that it’s not inherently true.
That’s great you’re working on cases in your class. Feel free to learn more
about Jodi’s case on our website at FindJodi.com. Our information is very
accurate, and you can assure it’s valid and been discussed with law
enforcement.
Thanks for the note.

note from blog owner
Grace,
The info you are talking about (Nelson) comes from a very unreliable source. I have talked to law enforcement on him (both state and federal) and they say none of what he is says is true. I will not say anything else they told me but do not believe his ramblings. If you google them, you wll see he is everywhere on the web talking about this. He has left many comments here, but they are blocked and always will be. Jodi’s body has NOT been found.

Hello,
I have been following this case for a very long time. If I am correct from what I have read. Jodi was running late that morning but was on her way to the station. She never arrived. I believe she spoke to her backup at the station. Could be the unsub was already in her apartment. Just my thoughts. Does anybody know if her apartment was searched for any clues?
