Jessica Heeringa missing now for 3 years

Posted

Three years ago today a West Michigan mother vanished from her job, sparking a massive manhunt.

Today, the search continues for Jessica Heeringa. It's a case that has captured national attention.

On this three year anniversary of her disappearance, there is still no sign of Heeringa. But, police say they do have leads they are combing through.

The 25-year-old mother vanished from the Norton Shores Exxon Mobile gas station where she was working alone on April 26, 2013. Her family isn't giving up hope she will be found.

She vanished around 11 p.m. that night. Police believe she was abducted.

There were no cameras on site, so all police have to go on are surveillance pictures of a silver minivan and a sketch of a man behind the wheel.

During the initial investigation, authorities did get DNA test results that confirm blood found outside the gas station is Heeringa's.

After exhausting many leads over years of investigation, police have been sorting through new clues recently.

A few dozen tips came in after the Investigation Discovery channel aired a "Disappeared" episode about Heeringa earlier this month. Police say a few are being actively investigated.
