Hi everyone. I haven't read or posted here in some time, but it's the first thing I thought of when I heard about Jessica. I don't know her personally, but I live in Roosevelt Park, which neighbors Norton Shores, both in Muskegon County. I know the area very well, former Norton Shores resident and lived here all of my adult life.
To answer a couple of questions I saw on past posts, yes this gas station is near the highway exit. It is literally right off US 31 and very near I96. It is near a strip mall, but yet sits off on its own with nothing within shouting distance really. Most of the businesses in that strip mall are not open at night. There is a 24 hour gym and a poker room, otherwise everything is closed. There is a G&L Chili Dog directly across the street, but I would guess they would be closed by 9 or 10.
Jessica left behind her purse, her cigarettes and her vehicle. The police are now treating it as an abduction, but it was pretty apparent from the beginning that was what it was. Police are looking for a man in a silver van.
My sister manages a drugstore near here, and I have always been so worried about something like this happening when she, or one of her employees, goes out to the dumpster at closing time. I wonder if this could be what happened to Jessica. She was reportedly cleaning up and getting ready to close at 11 pm. Last transaction recorded at 10:55, customer reported the store empty at 11:15.
NO CAMERAS were installed!! The owners installed them yesterday, AFTER Jessica disappeared. They are not allowing media on the property, so the news vans have been parking at G&L across the street.
I am very worried for this woman.
