Tears, 911 call during first day of Willis trial testimony

MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — The first people to find Rebekah Bletsch lying on a rural Muskegon County road were also the first to testify in Jeffrey Willis’ murder trial Thursday.

Willis is charged with murdering Bletsch, who was shot three times in the head while jogging near her home on Automobile Road in Dalton Township in June 2014.

Hours after being seated, jurors heard a recording of the 911 call made by neighbor Mark Klint, who lived down Automobile Road.

Michelle Klint, the caller’s wife and a registered nurse, was on the witness stand and began to cry as the recording was played. She said she didn’t immediately recognize Bletsch, who was her neighbor and her daughter’s coach.
