New Jessica Herringa update


Jeffrey Willis has been charged with the murder of Jessica Herringa. Her body hasn't been found yet. Willis lived in the Norton Shores area of Michigan. He knew her because he frequented that gas station. In April, around the time of the airing of her Disappeared episode. He abducted a sixteen-year-old girl who escaped from his van. That van matched the van the manager saw in the parking lot the night of Jessica's disappearance. Evidence recovered tied him to another murder, the murder of Rebekah Bletsch. A search of his computer revealed a folder with Herringa's initials. Willis also had one with Rebekah Bletsch's initials. Child porn was found on his computer. A cousin of his said that he saw Jessica tied up, but recanted that. Investigators have also searched property that was his grandfather's and a Northern Michigan property belonging to a friend in an attempt to locate Jessica.

This story was particularly sad. All "Disappeared" stories that don't have reunions as endings are tragic, but this one...wow. This poor girl was so valiant and brave. The photograph on your first link is of someone who looks like he came straight from hell, so it's no coincidence he'd prey on a young lady this hard-working and decent.
