It has been requested that I share the following text here as well. Please note that the Jessica Heeringa case relates directly to the Rebekah "Becky" Bletsch case, as Jeffrey Willis is being tried for the murder of both.
I am posting the following for anyone else who is interested. It is a timeline I have been working on prior to the public cases in court, in order to make sense of the details. Good sources relating to this case are local: woodtv, mlive and wzzm
