Oregon Live - The man accused of killing Whitney Heichel told investigators that he kidnapped her, sexually assaulted her, then shot her four times.
He said he then drove her body to Larch Mountain and concealed it.
Those stark statements emerged Monday afternoon in a probable cause affidavit released following Jonathan D. Holt's arraignment in Clackamas County Circuit Court.
An emotionally distraught Holt, 24, was arraigned on seven counts of aggravated murder Monday afternoon in the shooting death of Heichel, 21, of Gresham. He quietly gave one-word answers during the court appearance.
The multiple charges result from several aggravating circumstances prosecutors allege, including kidnap, sodomy and robbery. Aggravated murder also applies to killings committed in effort to conceal another crime. If convicted, Holt could face the death penalty.
Dressed in a suicide smock, Holt looked down and could be seen shedding at least one tear during his brief appearance via closed-circuit television
The details of the alleged crime were contained in the two-paragraph affidavit. It says that Holt told Sgt. Jon Harrington of the Oregon State Police on Friday that he waited outside for Heichel at the Heatherwood Apartments in Gresham the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 16, as she was leaving for work and asked her for a ride.
Along with living in the same apartment complex, Heichel and Holt knew each other, apparently because both were Jehovah's Witnesses.
According to the document, Holt, 24, told Harrington that about five minutes into the ride, he pulled a gun on Heichel while they were on Hogan Drive in Gresham. He said he then took her at gunpoint to Roslyn Lake in Clackamas County, where he forced her to perform oral sex on him. He then shot and killed her.
