Whitney Heichel's phone, The cell phone of Whitney Heichel, the Oregon woman who disappeared under "suspicious" circumstances earlier this week, has been found by a group of children at an apartment complex a few miles from the woman's home.
According to CBS News, children playing in a field near Troutdale Terrace Apartments in Troutdale, Ore., found Heichel's phone in some bushes on Thursday. The cell phone reportedly had Heichel's photograph as the screen saver and contained text messages asking if the missing woman was "okay."
"I was pretty shocked. I mean I knew right away…I recognized the face," April Fletcher, the mother of one the children, told ABC News.
The news outlet notes the apartment complex is about four miles from Heichel's home in Gresham, Ore.
At a Friday morning news conference, Gresham Police Department spokesman Lt. Claudio Grandjean confirmed that the device had been found. He added that "no other items were found along with the phone," CBS News writes.
Heichel was reported missing on Tuesday morning by her husband, Clint, after the 21-year-old failed to show up for her morning shift at a local Starbucks.
A few hours later, Heichel's SUV was found parked in the back corner of a Walmart parking lot. "The passenger side window was busted out, the backseats were down, there was mud on her tires," the woman's husband told KPTV. He added that the tires had not been muddy the night before.
