Summary

On the morning of January 24, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse got ready for work after returning from a romantic getaway with her boyfriend. By 9 AM, she was supposed to be at the office—but she never arrived. It wasn’t like Jennifer to miss work without a call, so her boss contacted her parents, who immediately drove two hours to her Orlando condo.

On the way, they asked the building manager to check her unit. Inside, everything appeared normal—nothing out of place, nothing missing—except for Jennifer and her car.

Two days later, her car was found parked at a nearby condo complex, a mile from her home. Surveillance footage captured a person of interest walking away after parking her car—but to this day, their identity remains unknown.

More than nineteen years later, Jennifer is still missing, and her family is still searching for answers.

24-year-old Jennifer Kesse disappeared on January 24, 2006. Based on the state of her condo, she had clearly showered and was getting ready for work when she left her apartment—either on her own or by force.

At the time of her disappearance, Jennifer was 5’7” and weighed 130 pounds. She has sandy blonde hair and green eyes, and a green shamrock tattoo on her left buttocks. It is believed she had her cell phone, iPod, and purse with her.

The exact time she vanished is unknown, but due to the condition of her condo, investigators believe she left—or was taken—between 7:30 and 7:45 AM on the 24th.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FDLE Orlando office at 407-245-0888 or email the brand new tip line at [email protected].
