On November 22, 2003, Sjodin finished her shift at Victoria's Secret located in Columbia Mall in Grand Folks and apparetly went shopping in the mall. About this time or shortly after she spoke with her boyfriend via her cellular phone and Dru abruptly ended the conversation by saying something to the effect of "Oh no!" or "Oh my God!" About three hours later her boyfriend received a short call from the same cellular phone but all he heard was static and the sound of buttons pressed. It has been determined that this second phone call originated somewhere near Fisher, Minnesota.
On December 2, a suspect, 50-year old Alfonso Rodriguez Jr, was arrested in connection with the investigation into Sjodin's dissapearance. According to police reports, Rodriguez reported being at the same mall where Sjodin worked at on the day she dissapeared, allegedly watching the movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico. But that movie was not being played at any theater in that mall or nearby during that day. The police also found shopping receipts of buys that Rodriguez had done at the mall that day.
A recent photo of Dru Sjodin, which has been displayed widely by the media, shows her wearing short, blond hair. Sjodin is a caucasian female. Anyone who knows about her whereabouts or what happened to her is adviced to contact local authorities.
