This is sad to report but news is out this morning that Jennifer Huston died from apparent suicide. There is no foul play suspected in her death.
I have reviewed video of the husband last week. You can read my thoughts by clicking here.
My condolences go out to the family.
Clint Heichel got up to speak at the press conference where they are speaking about his missing wife today. He fought really hard not to break out into laughter and couldn’t stop himself. He realized it and tried to turn it into a crying episode.
It is a fascinating emotional run to watch.
It reveals a lot about what Clint is feeling, and it is not a good sign by any means. This is not a case of nervous laughter. I am confident about that. There are telltale signs that indicate nervous laughter which Clint displayed none of.

Whittney Heichel worked at Starbucks in Gresham, Oregon. She got up early to start her 7 a.m. shift, but didn’t make it to work, which is five minutes away. Her car was found dirty with a broken window in a nearby Walmart parking lot later Tuesday afternoon. Police have spotted her car on surveillance at a gas station at 9:00 a.m. that morning and her credit card was used, but they cannot tell who was driving it.
The local media has interviewed Whittney’s husband above, and what I see causes me great concern. He is leaking a lot of hot spots that cannot be overlooked.
When Clint talks about Whitney that morning, he says, “She got dressed this morning, you know — normal everything,” but shrugs his shoulders. Why is he showing doubt about that? Why doesn’t he give us details instead of “normal everything”?
He continues…”and left..kissed me goodbye.”
If you notice he is not talking about his last experience with Whittney. He is just rambling random thoughts. This flags me. He talks about her leaving and then kissing him. That’s odd. People don’t usually remember things so out of order when recollecting a last time seeing someone.
When Clint says “I feel really helpless…its..I don’t really know…I don’t know how to deal with this, you know, what to do next.”
Why isn’t he helping people search and organize a search for his wife? Why isn’t he passing out fliers of his car and her photo? This baffles me he doesn’t know he should do this.
Clint shows no emotions, yet you would expect him to be concerned because it strongly appears that his wife met with foul play, but he doesn’t show any concern, worry or sadness. This is a red flag.
Clint says, “So many scenarios have run through my mind and I don’t …I try not to entertain them, but, you know, in this day and age, you just never know.” As Clint says this, he shows us physical hedges.
Clint says, “Anybody that has a loved or is married or anything knows that…you know, if your spouse goes missing and there’s no word that’s….I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what think. I don’t know what to do, you know, its completely …very odd.”
Clint’s statement is incredibly detached. Do you notice he never refers to his wife by her name?
I suspect police will likely narrow their focus towards Clint. His hot spots cannot be ignored nor should they be.
In another unfortunate twist this week, we see more parents pleading for their child’s safe return, but the problem, again, is we are seeing feigned emotions.
I am troubled by many things in this plea:
While both of these people are undeniably feeling stress, they are trying to express sadness and fear, but show no sincere expressions to support it.
I also notice how they are fine before they talk, but get “emotional” when they are speaking, but as soon as the camera is off of them again, they go back to being normal. This is called emotional turbulence and is not a good sign.
Becky also uses self-soothing gestures when she rubs her neck. While these are not an indicator of deception, why does she have the need to self-sooth when she speaks to the media?
I am also troubled by how these two are extremely clingy. They act like the need each other desperately.Are they hiding a horrible secret? Most parents of children who are missing legitimately are not clingy. They are strong, resolved, hopeful and plead for information to bring their child back. These two seem troubled internally much more than they are about their missing daughter, if you ask me.
I suspect we will find out these two know more than they are telling us…how sad for Isabel.
