GUILTY OR - Whitney Heichel, 21, Gresham, 16 Oct 2012 #1

[Knox]

It is so strange to me that LE hasn't put out a sketch or description of the perp.

There is ONE eye witness account, TWO gas station attendants that LE won't even confirm, and let's not forget the ATMs- (plural meaning at least TWO), which all have cameras. Then there is the grainy security camera from Walmart.

That is at least SIX opportunities to make a composite sketch of this guy.

Should we be asking ourselves why they haven't released one?

Poor quality so far, haven't found a quality shot.

Further, they emphasized at the 4:00PM presser; there is A LOT of footage to review. Still gathering more as of today and it it's a very time consuming process.

I am now thinking the account of the couple who saw a girl curled up on a dead tree on Larch Mtn is accurate.The Missing page says the police talked to them.Could it have been Whitney? If so where is she now?

Did anyone besides Clint see Whitney leave the apartment that morning?

Did the gas station attendant state that Whitney was in the vehicle when the gas was purchased? I'm seeing conflicting statements about this.

 

[Knox]

Do you have a source for that? I've heard it mentioned, but not confirmed nor heard that they were focused on it. Thanks!

Dillysmom, I should have stated it was hearsay, I believe I heard it in the last afternoon press but I'm not sure. I would have to go listen again. Sorry.

It's not hearsay, LE mentioned the glass in the Apartment Plot. He said he could not confirm it's actually from her vehicle, but it certainly could be. I don't think they are focused on it though.

I saw this on a ABC News video, too tired to go looking for it though. Maybe someone else remembers where it is and will link.

Read here on #88 and I saw it too on The Missing FB page.It has been deleted from there.It was from a comment someone made.

They said that gas station attendants at one of those locations -- a truck stop in Troutdale - remembered seeing her SUV and said Heichel was sitting in the passenger seat with a man driving. They said the man was acting suspicious and hurried, buying only a small amount if gas.

TROUTDALE, OR (KPTV) -
Troutdale police say they uncovered evidence in connection with the case of the missing Gresham woman, Whitney Heichel.

Dispatchers say the initial call came in at 5:24 p.m.

Investigators gathered at a wooded area near Troutdale Terrace Apartments on Southwest 257th Avenue.

Officers say it is unclear if the evidence, possibly a cell phone, belongs to Heichel herself.

Heichel was last seen on Tuesday morning.

Hi to camden, krey and marilynpa who I saw plenty on Ivy...!! I was hoping to see people from that thread...great ideas from that one

:seeya:Hi, princessk! It's nice to see some familiar names on this thread. Let's hope this story has a happy ending, just like Ivy's case.

Someone was talking about evidence recovered from a dumpster earlier today. I screen capped this shot from a video. Not sure where this dumpster is though?

This is also the video where LE talks about the glass outside Whitney's home.

Wow those apartments are a little over two miles from the Walmart. The number of locations in this case is getting crazy.

If I recall right, it is from where Whitney's car was parked.

ETA: now not so sure- cant picture those small dumpsters at a Walmart. But my brain says that the car was in the foreground and Clint was pacing...

I was thinking about this "girl curled up on a dead tree" sighting, and wondered why if they were able to see her, she wouldn't have heard the car and run to them for help (hypothetically assuming the sighting was accurate and was Whitney). I was thinking about the fact that she's a JW and decided to look up their stance on rape. I can link anything from this aaarrrggghh phone, but I found some info that perhaps JW's can be "excommunicated" for being raped? Does anyone know if that is accurate?

I'm way out on a limb here, but now I'm curious...

I did some searching and it gave me a chill...apparently they can be kicked out if they are raped and don't do "enough" to resist. This answer cites sources:

Evidence bags? Covering who knows what?

Evidence bags? Covering who knows what?

In one hand it looked like DNA swabs, you know the ones that have a lid that snaps closed. My contacts are like sandpaper though, so maybe I'm not seeing clearly, lol.

 

[BelieveinUFO]

What does the tech have in her hand?

Wow, From that Video I can see the "dead tree" mentioned.

Now, this is very close to the road. I wonder why she did not get help when they passed - may be she was guarded (& threatened) by someone or maybe she was drugged heavily. (or the last choice would be drama)

I also wonder why they cordoned off the area and searching for clues. It means that she was not alone in that place and those people who saw her might have seen something else too.

Was Whitney targeted by a prep or a group of preps?

 

[thess]

I still have to wonder why her Mom kept repeatedly referring to her in the past tense at the presser earlier today.

 

[krey]

A kid just posted on the facebook page that it was him and his mom who called the news to tell them about the cellphone being found close to where he is. And that some kids found a big hole dug in the ground.

I guess we don't know for sure if it's related or not, huh?
