Maybe the gun, that he allegedly pulled on the 16-yo-girl, wasn't loaded at the time?. Was he was attempting to load the gun as he "started to chase" her and dropped the two live rounds that were found on the road?.

MI MI - Jeffrey Willis - Suspected SK in Muskegon County, MI

- Start date
I just watched the video again of the flight path the 16-yo-girl ran after she jumped out of JW vehicle. About 100 yards according to the article at link so not all that far. I'm thinking that she would have been a lot quicker on her feet than JW and if he's attempting to load the gun and dropping bullets in the process well, all I can say is that she must have been overwhelmed with relief to find that house and the woman who so bravely helped her. IMO

From the above link:
"MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – Why were Rebekah Bletsch's sunglasses, earbuds and electronic device in an arm band left in a neat pile on the other side of the road from where Bletsch's body was found?
That fact never before made public was mentioned by Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson Friday during a Jeffrey Willis murder case hearing. Hilson asked the judge in the Bletsch murder case to allow evidence from another of the cases against Willis: that of the abduction of a 16-year-old girl nearly two years after Bletsch's death."
Snip
"It was only through evidence gathered during the kidnapping investigation that law enforcement was able to make the arrest in the Bletsch homicide, Hilson said. Among the evidence found at Willis' home was a file on a computer the title of which was VICS – believed to stand for victims – with a subfolder labeled with Bletsch's initials. It included the date of Bletsch's death in a "unique alphabetic code" and contained images of women who looked like Bletsch as well as Internet images of Bletsch, Hilson said."

"After Willis’s arrest two months ago for the kidnapping, they searched his van, finding sex toys, handcuffs, syringes and two Sony camcorders."
2 Sony camcorders...surprising they haven't found anything relating to Jessica yet. Or have they, and maybe not telling us (yet) as they build their case?
From video regarding the live rounds...

(It's so creepy to think, that if his latest victim hadn't gotten away, what he would have done to her, and he would be roaming free right now as we speak...)
Thank you all for the updates! Much appreciated ...
I'm intrigued by the police report about Willis videotaping a woman, and the police inaction. Who took the report, who would normally act on that report? Did the friend who is a police officer know about that report? Was it part of his regular duty to be aware of a report about a man secretly videotaping and following a woman - given that Jessica Herringa was missing?

Did Willis know that he was observed, and reported for, videotaping and following a woman in a parking lot?
Did his friend in the police department jokingly, or in any other way, tell Willis that his name came up in relation to a criminal complaint?

Facebook post from Jessica Herringa's mom Shelley on the Find Jessica Heeringa Facebook page
Hi Everyone, This is Jes's mom, Shelly Heeringa, haven't been on the page this has been yet another heartbreaking event. To give everyone an update, I spoke to Det. Kasher last week and so far there is no connection with my daughter and the Willis case, no DNA, no articles of clothing, no Jes, nothing. I want everyone to know that just because he stopped in at the gas station doesn't mean he did it, these women and men who are clerks have hundreds of people stop every day that they do not know, thats why we tried to put a law in place to help protect them. JMO: Its not him. (This is the part of the message relevant to Willis there is a longer message at link)

It's still too early to take Willis out of the picture. Why would he have her information in his computer, along with Bletsch's if he wasn't involved?
It sounds like she's in denial to me. I guess I would be to if I come to the realization if someone like Willis was potentially involved in a loved ones disappearance.

I still think he did it. The sketch is a dead ringer to him.

I don't think she is in denial. I think she is clinging on to every last ounce of hope that he did not murder her daughter.

I am not sure where any of you are from but I grew up in Muskegon. Not to far from Willis. It has been very quiet lately. I have a gut feeling that there will be a huge break in this case soon.

Me too I think he looks a lot like the sketch.
You're probably right I just found it interesting that after meeting the sheriff she felt strongly it wasn't him.
It's great to have someone who knows the local area well here thanks for joining us. I hope there is a big break in the case soon the police need to figure out where he has put victims remains we might be in for a long wait though.
I drive by the gas station where Jessica was stolen from all the time. It is no longer the Exxon. Ironically it is renamed J&H Family Store. [emoji848] It gives me the creeps.

Well, we all know that it was him. Including Kasher and the NSPD Detectives. Now that Muskegon PD and the State Police are involved maybe they aren't keeping NSPD 100% up to date?
I know so much more then what is on this thread. I won't post because it's against the rules.

Way too many coincidences for it not to be Willis IMO. Silver van, knew the victim, attempted abductions of other females, frequented the victim's place of work, looks like the sketch, etc.
