Authorities used red tape to mark where they found broken glass and tire marks in a heavily wooded area in Gresham, Ore., as part of their search for a Starbucks employee who disappeared on her way to work.
It's unclear whether they found any significant clues.
Investigators searched the park in Clackamas County and also Larch Mountain Wednesday...
Of the park findings, he said, "I'm not prepared to say that's the broken glass that came from her vehicle, although it's absolutely possible."...
...Police aren't saying what brought them to search the wooded area.
Heichel's husband, Clint, has said she kissed him goodbye and left for her job just before 7 a.m...
...Police say surveillance cameras recorded her vehicle pulling into a Shell gas station around 9 a.m. and her ATM card was used.
Her husband said bank records show the same card was used at another gas station minutes later, but police have not confirmed that.
"One at 9:22 and then one at about 9:30, which was kind of odd, both for gas eight minutes apart," Heichel said.
Police spokesman Grandjean said, "The video is inconclusive in terms of being able to tell who's in the vehicle but we can tell it's the vehicle and we know through bank records it's the car."
Police have not yet released the surveillance video, but they plan on doing a briefing later this morning, according to KATU....
