MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) – Each time Nick Winberg interviews with 24 Hour News 8, he brings photographs of Jeffrey Willis’ alleged murder victims.
One is of Jessica Heeringa, the other is of Winberg’s daughter, Rebekah Bletsch. Handwritten Bible verses are on the back of the photos.
“I was just shattered for months. But my faith has helped me,” Winberg said.

The trial was originally scheduled to start in June. It was then pushed back to September. It has now been delayed until Oct. 16.
