Summary
When 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse didn’t show up for work on January 24, 2006, it triggered a search that would grip Florida for nearly two decades. Her condo showed no signs of forced entry. Her car was later found abandoned. And surveillance footage captured a mysterious figure whose face was forever obscured. In this episode, we take a deep dive into Jennifer’s disappearance — walking through the timeline, the investigation’s biggest clues and missteps, and the leading theories that continue to haunt this case. With new DNA evidence and renewed momentum from state investigators, could answers finally be within reach?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Mama Mystery. I am your host, Kelly, and today's deep dive is one that I've been |
| 0:06.4 | meaning to do for a while. A few years ago, we went to CrimeCon, and I actually had the privilege |
| 0:12.2 | of meeting Jennifer Cassie's uncle, who was there at CrimeCon promoting a book that he wrote on |
| 0:18.0 | his niece's disappearance. CrimeCon is actually coming up in September. |
| 0:23.3 | I believe the dates are September 4th or 5th through the 7th. That first weekend in September, |
| 0:28.3 | we're going to Denver. If you have a chance to go to CrimeCon, I do recommend it. You get a chance |
| 0:34.1 | to meet so many amazing people, from true crime content creators to advocates for |
| 0:40.5 | true crime, family members of pretty well-known victims in true crime. It's really a chance to |
| 0:46.4 | just humanize this genre in general. And then, of course, you learn a lot of new things with all |
| 0:51.6 | of the expos and different presentations and things like that. |
| 0:55.5 | So if you get a chance to go to CrimeCon, it's in Denver, first weekend in September. |
| 0:59.9 | We will be there. |
| 1:01.1 | And if you do get to go, use the code Mama Mystery for, I believe it's 10% off of your ticket. |
| 1:06.7 | And lastly, before we dive in, make sure you're following Mama Mystery wherever you get your |
| 1:11.0 | podcast. It costs you nothing, but it just ensures that you don't miss future episodes. |
| 1:15.6 | So with that out of the way, this is the disappearance of Jennifer Cassie. |
| 1:37.1 | On the morning of January 24th, 2006, 24th, 24-year-old Jennifer Kessie failed to show up for work. |
| 1:41.5 | Jennifer was a responsible young professional who really had it all. |
| 1:46.3 | She had family, friends, a great job, and a loving boyfriend. She had actually just returned home from a very happy Caribbean vacation and settled back into her Orlando |
| 1:52.5 | condo, ready for an ordinary Tuesday. But that day, Jennifer vanished without a trace, seemingly in the |
| 1:59.8 | blink of an eye. |
| 2:01.4 | When her concerned parents rushed to her condo, they found a pretty eerie scene of normalcy. |
