Update 10-19-12: Searchers found the body of a young Oregon woman who vanished this week on her way to work and a neighbor has been arrested, Gresham police said late Friday night. The body of Whitney Heichel, 21, was found on Larch Mountain, a remote, forested area east of Gresham, Police Chief Craig Junginger told a news conference.
After collecting DNA and fingerprints and conducting three interviews over three days, police arrested Jonathan Holt, 24, of Gresham, for investigation of aggravated murder, the chief said. Holt lived in the same apartment complex as Heichel and her husband

Whitney Heichel went missing during her five-minute drive to work at Starbucks on Tuesday, October 16, 2012.
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.”
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.”
He said it was highly out of character for her to ignore his messages. CrimePAY$ is offering a $1,000 Reward for her safe return.
