To be honest, I have no idea where they would search. There was no indication, other than a van, of where she could be. Where do you start with something like that?
Sometimes I hate seeing tips numbering in the thousands. I worked a crime tip line some years back and people call in just to call. I am sure LE is getting plenty of calls about dreams, visions, neighbors with a red van, not a silver one but he is weird, etc...and so much time is expended to go through all of them. High number of tips does not equal solving a case...just look at Kyron Horman. JMO

NS Police use cell phone tracking to dig up info on 35k minivans. Secret Sevice analyzes it. How it works @wzzm13 @6:30p. #jessicaheeringa
I know you all are just trying to help with finding Jessica. She is the victim and not to be discussed in a negative way with speculation.
Thanks everyone.
Perhaps it was someone that had worked at the store before and knew the cameras weren't working.
Hi, i'd like to look through the photos of any criminals in the area and surrounding areas where Jessica disappeared. Could someone please tell me how I look at the databases which show the "mugshots" of theses people and the info regarding their crime when arrested. I'm in the UK and i'm not sure how access the sites.

After going through all the links regarding the glasses being found in Hoffmaster Park, I can't find any reference to the identity to the man who found them.
Here's a description of the situation taken from the first link:
"As police were arriving at the park to begin the search, an unidentified citizen turned in a pair of eyeglasses found in the park to a local TV news crew. . . . .
The search was spurred by a tip around noon Thursday, May 2, by a person who came to the NSPD and reported hearing gunshots around 7:30 to 7:45 a.m. Saturday, April 27, and seeing a silver minivan in or near the park around the same time."
Nowhere can I find a name associated with the guy who says he found those glasses. As a matter of fact, some of the reporting has morphed into 'a news crew found glasses that may belong to ....'.
Unfortunately, media reports today, cannot be relied upon for a true account of any released information. Unless Chief Shaw's words appear in quotes, forget about what you hear or, at least, don't take the information as gospel.
If someone can locate the video where, supposedly, the guy who found the glasses spoke to the media, I'd love to see it. Because just as LE was arriving at the park to conduct a search, miraculously these look alike glasses appeared, but the guy who found them miraculously disappeared!
I am unaware of a website that lists all criminals in the area. However, here is a site that lists Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs). Most have mugshots. You can click the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) number link below their mugshot to access their criminal history. Most have the MDOC link. Here is the link to the website.

Just to note, Norton Shores is in Muskegon County if you want to search by county. Or if you want to narrow it by zip code, Norton Shores has a couple that I am aware of. 49441 is where the station is located. You can also search by city. Muskegon would include all applicable zip codes. I hope this helps.
Here is the link that shows the man who found the glasses.

Part of my frustration stems from personally seeing TAH in a silver town and country yesterday....he lives within 5 minutes of this gas station, I have reported to the police but still waiting...
He's the only RSO we have been able to connect to a silver town and country that im aware of?
I agree it is a long shot. The trails surrounding is good. I don't frequent that particular beach, but there are interesting things around our Great Lake. I.E. caves, gullies, forest, streams. I believe it is just a point of interest.Ask anyone from the muskegon area on here....it is extremely unlikely he worked his *advertiser censored* off to climb a huge sand dune dragging or carrying her body, or forced her to walk into the dark night, leaving his car illegally parked on patrolled roads.
Any area close by that could conceal a body has been accessed over the last week by summer-enthused residents getting out for some sunshine-
