Jessica Heeringa ‘Flyer’ On The Big Screen
As each day passes it gets harder and harder for Jessica Heeringa’s family, but one thing that keeps hope alive, the continued out-pouring of support from the community.
Steven Mayes doesn’t know Jessica or her family, he met them just recently at their command center.“I guess it was their pain of not knowing where their loved one is, I mean that`s what drew me to it” said Mayes.
Like so many, since the news of Jessica’s disapperane broke, Mayes knew he had to do something. “That was the thing I didn`t expect a call back really, I was just spit balling out ideas.” He thought, what better way to reach people than the big screen?

Jessica Heeringa rumor, that she's been found, squashed by police chief
Muskegon's Jessica Heeringa has not been found, contrary to rumors this morning that have circulated on social media sites, according to police leading the investigation.
Heeringa, 25 -- missing since April 26 after police say she was abducted from the Exxon gas station on Sternberg Road in Norton Shores while working alone as a night clerk -- remains missing today, June 3, said Norton Shores Police Chief Dan Shaw.
The rumor that she was discovered sort of “spun out of control,” Shaw said, adding that he received a number of calls this morning from “news crews” and administrators of various “Find Jessica Heeringa” Facebook pages.
Asked whether Heeringa had been found, Shaw replied: “Not that we’ve been told.”
“It’s a rumor,” he said.
