Missing Whittney Heichel’s Husband

KPTV – FOX 12

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.

A HUGE THANK YOU

thank you note for every language

Today I’d like to say a big thank you to Samuel Rizzio, and the other generous and kind people who stepped in to help move my old blog comment system that went defunct on October 1 to the new tool Disqus.

Many people were very kind to offer to donate their time so we wouldn’t loose the eight years of comments and I am grateful for every single one of you who offered to help and shared what knowledge you could to make this transition possible!

I am truly grateful for everyone’s help in getting this big task accomplished.

Samuel followed the whole process through, kept me informed, managed the team of helpers that volunteered and stuck with me until the very end to make sure we got it done!! He put lots of hours his own free time into this and for those who I don’t know about who put in your time, THANK YOU!!

Yesterday the transition was complete and we accomplished our goal!!!

Many thanks for everyone who helped out on this. I am very grateful!

With many heartfelt thanks!

‘Tis the season of fear!

48 Hours: Robbie Walters

If you missed this weekend’s 48 Hours, you missed a fascinating study of one human being:  Robbie Walters.  He was a vacant-eyed, cold, haunting individual who was convicted of killing his girlfriend.  Robbie talks about what happened the night they “supposedly” had a car accident and what you see when you watch Robbie talk is chilling!

Robbie’s emotions are flat out inconsistent with what he wants us to believe. He smirks and smiles at times it completely contradicts his message, and he seems obviously to it.

It shows the power of facial expressions in stark contrast to the spoken word!

Jessica Ridgeway: Her Parents Plea

Many of you have asked what I thought of Jessica Ridgeway’s parents as they plead for the return of her daughter.

While police are saying that Jessica’s parents are not suspects, her mom’s behavior is notable in one area.

She gives us a fake cry.  We see no oblique eyebrows, no stress in the forehead and no tears when she “breaks down”.  We don’t see fear either.

Why?  There is no urgency on the mother’s part as well.

I would like to see more interviews with Sarah before I come to any determinations.

Sadly, Jessica’s body was found and police are saying it was not intact. Police are saying that the parents are not suspects.

Did Jessica’s mom have any boyfriends — past or present?  I’d be curious to know.

When I watch the father, I see genuine and true sadness.
