Heeringa's mother took to the streets to pass out flyers Wednesday.  While doing so, she stopped at two  businesses who have helped in the investigation.  They gave police surveillance video of  what they believed to be the suspect's vehicle.

Heeringa's mom is hoping the surveillance video and police sketch will help bring her daughter home.

Heeringa, 25, went missing late Friday night while working as an Exxon mobile clerk in Norton Shores, near Muskegon, Mich.

Police are treating it as a kidnapping after finding the gas station unlocked and Heeringa's keys and purse left behind.

Police said they arrested a man in a silver minivan for questioning Wednesday evening. They have since released him. Police said he is not a suspect.

(CNN) — Blood found on the scene of a Michigan kidnapping belonged to the victim, police said Thursday.

Jessica Heeringa, 25, was abducted late last month from an Exxon station in Norton Shores, where she was working alone, sometime around 11 p.m., police have said.

Investigators found “suspicious substances” at the station and turned them in to the state’s crime lab, which identified some of it as blood. A DNA analysis matched it to Heeringa, the Norton Shores Police Department said.

The amount of blood found was small, police said. Authorities notified the family of the findings.
