It looks like this case may be reaching a conclusion soon. I would like to think a positive outcome can be reached, but given the time scale coupled with the recent(ish) arrest of Willis, whose modus operandi seems to tie in with Heeringas disappearance, coupled with his locality to the crime scene and his questionable whereabouts on the day, I think a worse case scenario is sadly more likely.

This story is too creepy, I could have been this woman. Well, not that I live anywhere near there or that it would have been the same guy. However I once was the lone closing gas station worker. I 1000% that it should be illegal for companies to allow one person for nights.
There was always a trusted man known by the crew I worked with. Who would come in every night until I closed and watch me get in my car and drive away. I never thought much of it,but now it gives me the heebie jeebie chills. Thinking of what could have happened to me by someone known by the gas station employees.

I agree. What they could do is use his further confessions of murders/locations of bodies as a bargaining tool, to avoid the death penalty. He may crave the attention enough to give authorities more information that way. Or perhaps he will actually want to live, and tell them more for that reason, who knows.

What a sad and infuriating case. (yet another one)

I haven't had the time to keep up with this lately. Getting all the work in that I can before winter hits.

But anyway, looks like the latest news from Sept says he has been formally charged with Jessica Heeringa's death.

I feel they have enough circumstantial evidence to easily take him to trial and win, but I really hope to see a full confession from him regardless.

This is a bit of a stretch. It if other employees suspected her if being s theif why was she still working there AND... if the folks on the motorcycles felt is necessary to follow the van for that long and didn't take the plates down? It was important enough to follow but not think to take down down plates?? Come on.

good point ... but keep in mind managers are absolute morons usually .. and those prove it quite well.

Such a sad tale regarding a beautiful woman. For a short time, I worked at a gas station. Mind you, I'm 6'3" and 300lb w/CCW. It's not the same situation as her, but I remember several sketchy people that gave me the heebie-jeebies.

I hope she is found alive. Hope is free, so don't give it up until you have to.

Jessica Heeringa, a 25-year-old woman disappeared while working alone at night at the Exxon gas station on East Sternberg Road in Norton Shores. At the station, she left behind her purse, car, money, cigarettes — and a few drops of blood outside.

Police believe she was abducted, most likely by somebody she was familiar with.

At home, she left behind her son, Zevyn, who has since turned four and lives with his father.

More than two years after Jessica Heeringa disappeared from a Norton Shores gas station, one name keeps popping up: Brad Mason.

Kalamazoo police were arresting the 42-year-old Kalamazoo man for a brutal abduction and rape in that city when they shot him to death last year -- an apparent "suicide by cop."

He remains the prime suspect of her disappearance.

However, Lieutenant Michael Kasher believes Heeringa is alive and is being held against her will.

He said, “Time has gone on where nobody’s found a body, or remains, or clothing, or anything else that have evidence to suggest that Jessica is deceased. I have to go on the assumption and belief that she is still alive somewhere.”


The family set up a tip line of their own, hoping people may feel more open to share information. You can remain anonymous. That number is 231-222-0278. You can also call Silent Observer and remain anonymous. That number is 231-72-CRIME. There is a $26,000 reward for information that leads to Jessica Heeringa.


Here’s the timeline, released by the Norton Shores Police Department:



Here are a couple evidence photos released by police. You can see the blood stain the found at the gas station, as well as the van police were looking for.

Sounds like she was outside smoking and it was an opportunistic abduction. the person prob knew no cameras. it stands out that the owners were in the area and seen something suspicious and followed the van, but stopped following it.hmmm
