Oregon woman, 21, vanishes during five-minute commute to work Gresham Police Department Whitney Heichel, 21, was last seen by her husband at 6:45 a.m. Tuesday before leaving for her shift at Starbucks. Police in Oregon are investigating the disappearance of a woman who went missing on her way to work Tuesday. Whitney Heichel, 21, was last seen by her husband at 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday at her Gresham, Ore., apartment before leaving for her shift at Starbucks about five minutes away from her home, police said in a statement. When Heichel didn't show up for work, her husband, Clint Heichel, told police he received a call asking if she was sick. He called 911 to report her missing just before 10 a.m. A team of 24 detectives were following leads and canvassing areas Wednesday where police believe Heichel may have been immediately prior to her disappearance. Several transactions were made on Heichel's debit card the morning she went missing, including once at a gas station at 9:14 a.m. and again at ATM machines and other gas stations at 9:22 a.m. and 9:30 a.m, according to police. Police said Heichel's vehicle, a black 1999 Ford Explorer with tinted taillights and an Oregon license plate, were found in a Walmart parking lot in Wood Village, Ore., about three miles north of Gresham. According to a missing person flyer, a gas station attendant at one of the stations said he remembered seeing her SUV and said Heichel was sitting in the passenger seat with a man driving. The man reportedly bought a small amount of gas. Heichel's vehicle, a black 1999 Ford Explorer with tinted taillights and an Oregon license plate, was later found in a Wal-mart parking lot in Wood Village, Ore., about three miles north of Gresham, at 11:17 a.m. The vehicle had a shattered window and it appeared as if someone had rummaged around inside, police said. Heichel is 5'2" tall and weighs 120 pounds. Police say they are treating the incident as a suspicious missing persons case.
