MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — The man who told police he helped get rid of Jessica Heeringa’s body was in court Monday.
Kevin Bluhm is the cousin of Jeffrey Willis, who is charged with two murders including the murder of Heeringa. She vanished from the Norton Shores gas station where she worked in April 2013.
Bluhm is essentially trying to get out of jail as soon as possible. On Monday, his lawyer argued that his charge as an accessory in Heeringa’s murder should be thrown out and his bail should be lowered.
Bluhm was charged with accessory after the fact because he told police he helped Willis bury Heeringa’s body the day after her disappearance and provided details.
