Teen who escaped abduction to testify in Willis trial

MUSKEGON, Mich.  — The teenager who prosecutors say cracked the case of Rebekah Bletsch’s murder is expected to testify Tuesday in the trial of Jeffrey Willis, according to the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office.

Willis, is accused of murdering the Bletsch as she jogged near her Dalton Township home on the evening of June 29, 2014. Ballistics testing matched a handgun found in Willis’ minivan to the one used to kill the 36-year-old mother.

Willis, 47, of Muskegon Township, was arrested in May 2016. The month prior, a teen girl reported she had escaped an attempted abduction in Fruitland Township. Her report led investigators to Willis.
