A newspaper article in The Salt Lake City Tribune on Nov. 4, 1994, said that a killer known as the Great Basin serial killer was thought to be responsible for six murders at that time. At least four of those victims are also on the list of murders potentially related to Teske's death, according to a statement. A US Border Patrol agent has been arrested in the state of Texas on suspicion of killing four prostitutes, reports say. Officers were looking for Juan David.
The facts of Jodi's case match up with a suspected serial killer on death row in WY. He was convicted of the 'Lil Miss' murder in 2004 and is suspected to be the Great Basin killer. The Great Basin area covers multible states including WY, UT, and Co. Dale Wayne Eaton is his name, and it is well known that he roamed many states looking for 'work' as a welder or as a mechanic. The states that Dale are know to have visited are WY, ID, UT, CO, KS, and NE. Jodi lived only one state east of Dale's known 'working' area.
It is not hard to believe he could have roamed into Iowa looking for 'work'. It is known that Dale was collecting unemployment in April 1995, it is not a stretch to believe Dale took a road trip because he had the money and he had the time.
The Great Basin murder investigation was also getting alot of attention at that time. I believe Dale went looking in a new state to find 'work'. 
Other interesting facts about Dale that match up with Jodi's abduction are. - Dale used a 1985 pale green Dodge Van to roam the country.
This matches witness descriptions of the strange light colored van outside Jodi's apartment in the parking lot. - Dale always selected smaller framed victims looking for an easy target. Jodi was a small women and in many ways resembled Lisa Marie Kimmel (Lil Miss). - The abductor struck Jodi from behind in a surprise attack. Dale is guilty of a simular attack on Lisa Kimmel just before he killed her.
- Dale was from WY, he could have kidnapped Jodi and left for WY that same morning. In this case there would be very little evidence of the van because he was probably several states away before anyone even knew their was a problem. Dale was a lone wolf, he was always on the look out for an easy victim.
When no easy prey could be found he was also able to stalk a victim looking for an easy opportunity. His suspected 20+ year career as a serial killer proves he has the inteligence to do so. Dale probably first saw Jodi on TV after one of his failed early morning hunts. He focused in on her because she was small, innocent looking, and may have reminded him of past victims like Lisa Kimmel. Dale knew Jodi was an early morning riser for her TV work, all he needed to do is find her residence. He could have followed her from the TV station to find her residence and just watched her routine.
