The Starbucks where missing 21-year-old Whitney Heichel works. “The circumstances under which we found her car and the fact she’s otherwise a reliable person make this very suspicious,†Gresham Police Lt. Claudio Grandjean says.
A frantic search is underway for a young, married Starbucks barista possibly abducted on her five-minute drive to work early Tuesday.
Whitney Heichel, 21, left her apartment in Gresham, Oregon, shortly before her 7 a.m. shift but mysteriously vanished in her 1999 Ford Explorer, police said.
Her ATM card was later used at a local gas station at 9:14 a.m. with grainy surveillance tape showing her vehicle at the location, cops confirmed.
Four hours later, the black SUV was found abandoned in a nearby Walmart parking lot with a shattered window, the back seats pushed down and mud on the tires, a police spokesman told the Daily News.
Husband Clinton Heichel, 28, called 911 to report the petite brunette missing at 9:56 a.m. after getting a call from a concerned Starbucks co-worker and reportedly trying to track her down at her parents' home, at a local hospital and over the phone.
“The circumstances under which we found her car and the fact she’s otherwise a reliable person make this very suspicious,†Gresham Police Lt. Claudio Grandjean told the Daily News.
“We’re following up dozens of leads,†he said. “We have interviewed her husband quite a bit, and he’s been very cooperative.â€
He said detectives had no suspects as of Wednesday morning.
Friends and family, meanwhile, circulated an online poster claiming that “several transactions†were made on Whitney's debit card after her disappearance, including at ATM machines and three different gas stations.
Grandjean said Wednesday that police had verified only the 9:14 a.m. transaction at the gas station.
An attendant at one of the stations allegedly remembered seeing a man who appeared “suspicious and hurried†driving the vehicle with Heichel sitting in the passenger seat, the poster claimed.
“She got dressed this morning, normal everything. Kissed me goodbye, said goodbye,†husband Clinton Heichel told KPTV on Tuesday. “That was 6:45 this morning.â€
He said it was highly out of character for her to ignore his messages.
Married almost two years, the couple has a large network of friends and family, some related to their Jehovah’s Witness church, helping with the search, police said.
“I hope she’s okay,†the husband said Tuesday. “Anyone who has a loved one or is married knows if your spouse goes missing and there’s no word… I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to think, I don’t know what to do.â€
Whitney Heichel is 5 feet 2 inches tall and 120 pounds, police said.
“Oh whit I have never told you how much you meant to me! I loved our early morning conversations and how happy you always were at work,†Kaleb Lewis, a Starbucks co-worker, wrote on Facebook late Tuesday. “Please come home safe and sound! You’re so loved and mean so much to so many people!â€
Anyone with information should call Gresham Police at (503) 618-2719.
