He had brown hair and a bushy brown beard. The suspect was wearing jeans and did not have shirt. He was also reported to be wearing a wig and a mosquito net at the time he abducted Heather. Authorities searched the Newburgh Beach area later in the day and discovered part of Heather’s bathing suit near the alleged abduction site. Additional evidence was also located, but nothing investigators found could lead them to Heather’s whereabouts. She has never been heard from again. Heather’s disappearance remains unsolved. Foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved in her case.
