Affidavit: Suspect says he shot Oregon barista

Tuesday October 23, 2012 12:30 PM

OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — An affidavit says a man accused of killing an Oregon barista told investigators he shot her after hitching a ride, pulling a gun and forcing her to perform a sex act.

The statement from the Clackamas County sheriff's office was filed in court after 24-year-old Jonathan Holt pleaded not guilty Monday to killing his neighbor, 21-year-old Whitney Heichel.

The document says Holt recounted the crime to a State Police investigator.

Holt lived in the same Gresham apartment complex as Heichel and her husband.

The affidavit says he waited outside her apartment on Oct. 16 to ask for a ride then forced her to drive to the site of a drained reservoir.

The affidavit says she was shot four times, and her body was later concealed at Larch Mountain.
