his buddies know where he hunted. he was short on time, panicked, he would have gone somewhere he was extremely comfortable. knew where to park, knew the landscape, a place he likely had been going for a long time.

 

[Michigander]

I also suspect the wooded areas due west near Lake Michigan. sand, very easy to dig fast.

West on porter toward the lake, south on lake harbor. check out the huge open area near the west corner of Lake Harbor and Mount Garfield.

dead end cul de sac at August Avenue near the westwind golf course looks like a perfect place.

would love to know what's been searched and what hasn't.

7.5 Miles to Lake Michigan

PJ hoffmaster is a Giant park. 7 miles from exxon.

Yes, lots of dirt roads back in there... plenty of locations so close by.

Has TES been in there yet? They will need the horses and ATVs to run through those trails.

 

[Michigander]

did he go to mona shores HS? where do the young kids go to drink? often there are private places to park and congregate that neighbors and police cant see from the street.

 

[Michigander]

don't really need horses and ATVs. all very easy walking and hiking...

just need a ton of people!

 

[Michigander]

can someone draw a concentric circle, ten miles out, around exxon?

I have no computer or map skills...

then we highlight the priorities via satellite.

 

[Michigander]

if we cant do this on WS then someone tell me where we can...

NORTON SHORES, Mich. (April 24, 2014)- As the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Jessica Heeringa approaches, her family is devastated and heartbroken.

“It’s been a roller coaster. You talk to people and they tell you a tip and then your hopes rise and it doesn’t work out so you sink back down again,” Jessica’s grandma Diane Homrich said.

You can make a google map and pinpoint areas that you'd like to search. Also you could "rule out" areas that were already searched by looking back in the articles and circling them as well. That way you're not going over the same spot twice. Good luck to all those who decided to hike it. Wish I could be there. JMO

He went to high school and graduated in 1993- so over 20 years ago. I went to mona shores and graduated 10 years after him. The places that we drank are now gone (due to the area growing) so I am unsure where he partied but we always partied in the blueberry fields by the mall area.

Ross Park is a very small area and I would doubt that it would be a "safe" place to bring someone.... cars always seem to be driving in and out of the parking lot at random times.

So, what is the concensus? The Ex boyfriend, comes to the back door at closing time to make one final attempt at winning her over. She refuses him and he goes to plan B, he takes her down with a punch in the face, bloodying her nose, leaving her dna on the ground at the back door. Secures her in the back of the van and takes her to one of his hunting shelters. The family members see him, know the vehicle, and have been covering up.

Sadly, his end game is likely rape and murder, left in the woods. He can't have her so no one can... then he drives past the station at midnight to see what's going on. He is spotted and called to come back to the station. Why didn't stop if he was just happening by and saw police cars, knowing someone he cared about worked there? I think it's called, Guilty Knowledge. Like posting about her 'kidnap' when she wasn't declared kidnapped yet?

Is that the gist of it?

Oh, and the sketch of the driver as described by the 'witness'. Doesn't he look like the Owner? So bizarre, to think the 'witness' may have described him to throw off the investigation, hmm. Yet, he identifies the vehicle precisely because his relative owns one. what?

What a tangled web they wove.

Hold up though....was it RF who was seen driving by in his work vehicle early the next morning? I thought it was JA.

Ross Park isn't that big and not all that secluded. I have been down there to check it out not long after Jessica disappeared, as was another local MrGwriter. It's nearby, and could have been a place convenient to stop and secure the van or something, but not a good place for a criminal to spend any time. NSPD is reeeeally close by, for one thing. I actually got busted with a group of high school friends partying there, on the frozen lake. The cops drive by there all the time.

The other side of Mona Lake, behind Hidden Cove apartments, is super secluded and easily accessible if you know the area.
