Still, in 1997, there was once again some renewed hope of finally getting closure after additional information came to light.
That year, two prison inmates reportedly claimed to have knowledge of Jody’s case, and their tips implied that Jody’s killer would have placed her body into a car and driven the vehicle into the Mississippi River.
After authorities followed up on this tip and searched the river, though, no evidence was ever found.
Today, Jody’s mother, Karen, has since moved to Arkansas. But, a few times each year, she will return to Kansas City in search of her daughter.
Jody’s loved ones have also created a Facebook account, Help Find Jody Ledkins, in hopes of raising awareness of her case.
At the time of Jody’s disappearance, she was five foot one, weighed ninety pounds, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. She also wore glasses, had a large birthmark under her arm, and had an appendectomy scar. Jody would be fifty-two years old today.
If you have any information regarding her case, you are urged to contact the Kansas City Police Department at (816) 234-5140.
