I think the two best theories, in my personal opinion, are that she was either abducted into trafficking/prostitution or that she was the victim of a serial killer. Just below that is the possibility that she was taken by someone that she knew, but for some reason, it just doesn't hit me with as much of an impact of as the first two.
aren't people abducted into prostitution usually young/teenage girls?
i think jennifer was lusted after by a construction worker for a long time, abducted by him, raped, murdered and then dumped somewhere. it could be a serial killer but it could also just be (and in my opinion, most likely) a total drifter construction worker (someone off the map, maybe an illegal immigrant) who became obsessed with her and took an opportunity where he saw it. i think this is someone who wanted her on a sexual level first and foremost, not simply someone to murder. her beauty definitely played into this. perhaps he didn't even want to murder her, but he wanted her sexually and didn't want to go to jail when she reported him so he felt he needed to dispose of her. there is a chance, in my mind, that she could be living in the abductor's basement right now especially when you consider the fact that she was probably selected because the man was sexually attracted to her. he could have wanted to keep her around. jennifer stated that she was uncomfortable around the workers. maybe one of the workers really wanted to go out with her but knew that she wouldn't be receptive, and he was so obsessed he felt this was the only way.
random question: i know people were eyeing james hataway. what became of that?
additionally, what amount of the construction workers were hispanic? apparently the contractor wasn't that cooperative (shame on him!!) but if a large portion of workers were hispanic as i suspect they were, the kesses should find a way to go on telemundo or some other hispanic news channel. perhaps on the next anniversary of her disappearance?
not even just to find the suspect but to plead for some of the workers that day to come forward so they can ask more questions because i think getting the floridian hispanic population involved is KEY to solving this. perhaps there could even be monetary compensation, that is, they will be paid if the lead actually GOES somewhere. i would contribute.
emphasize the fact that the individuals coming forward will NOT face legal issues (deportation or anything else) if they give information. it will be confidential. emphasize the reward offered. is there a way to have informants contact the kesses and not the police? the police seem like dummies and like they want to cover their asses for messing this case up.
---also, what other construction sites were occurring around the area right after that time? maybe check up on those sites/the contractors involved. see if there were any suspicious persons, any people who mentioned just having worked on Jennifer Kesse's apartment complex. Even if they don't have any info to give, hand them flyers anyway (lots written in spanish).
----look up all of the major contractors in the Florida area, many whom work on larger buliding projects with many people (especially around where Jennifer's complex was) and give them flyers to give out. if this guy is a repeat offender, he will likely seek out construction sites with lots of people and lots of workers, IMO.
tell the contractors and workers how important this case is and emphasize that they won't seek legal problems as a result of coming forward (make sure a whole bunch of the flyers are written in spanish).
---even driving around to random Florida construction sites you see and handing out Jennifer Kesse Missing flyers (again, many many written in spanish) would be a better use of flyers than just putting them up around town, IMO (although puttng them up around town and at construction sites is ideal obviously
).
i'm sure a lot of these day laborers from the apartment complex still work around the area. make sure many of the flyers are written in spanish and emphasize the reward, and emphasize that coming forward will only help and they will not face any legal problems (like deportation) as a result. sorry that i've mentioned this part so much, but i think that's the only way anyone would come forward. is if they were guaranteed they wouldn't face deportation or anything.
jennifer was uncomfortable around the workers, many of them would leer at her, and to me this should be the number 1 theory. instincts are so telling and jennifer seemed like a girl who had her wits about her. to me, this is honestly one of the key aspects of the case and should be taken very seriously (as i'm sure it has, at least by jennifer's parents).
***Some additional questions***: I apologize if they have already been answered.
---Would there have been a way for an outsider (someone not working on her building, a close friendd or her boyfriend to know out her exact address? Was this public info/listed online? did she ever host large parties with some people she wasn't super duper familiar with?
---Did Jennifer ever bring someone besides her close friends/boyfriend back to her apartment? an acquaintance or a friend of a friend she didn't know so well? a locksmith? some kind of repair person? co-workers? furniture movers? cleaners? neighbors?
---Did Jennifer's boyfriend have any guy friends that liked Jennifer a little too much? Friends that were girls who were jealous of Jenn?
---- I'm not super familiar with the layout of the apartment complex. Were construction workers working very close to her exact apartment--aka they could see the apartment she went into from where they were working?
----did these workers stay on for the whole project, or were they literally day laborers? did some stay on the project for a few days? how were they found by the contractor? when time in the morning did they arrive the day she was abducted? IMO someone needs to get this CONTRACTOR to SPEAK UP MORE. he must know some smaller details that he hasn't shared for fear of getting in trouble for using illegals. of the info he knows, he should be able to say how/where he GOT these illegal immigrants, what connections he has to other contractors in the area (if he hooked up some of his workers with other projects, if he was close to any of them, if any of them stayed on longer, etc).
---were any construction workers friendly with residents of the building? buddies who would hang out or say hi to eachother frequently? what was the contact level of many of the construction workers with the residents? with the male residents? with the female residents? again, with the contractor?
---What were the people who lived near Jennifer like? Had any of them come forward with any info, like whether or not they thought some of the construction workers or creepy, especially female residents? did they see any of the construction workers out of their construction clothes walking around the complex or in them, around the building? any linger a little too close to the apartment doors? any construction workers ask any of the residents to hang out in any capacity?
----Were some of Jennifer's neighbors kind of shady with shady friends that would come by? I know it was an expensive apartment, but it was in a sketchy area. Any drug dealers? pimps? anyone who lived near jennifer arrested for any crimes?
OMG this post is a NOVEL!!! sorry it's so long and i'm sure a lot of this has been addressed. let me know if i should remove some of it. i just wanted to bump up the thread and maybe get more people here to speculate.
jennifer, we will find you! xo
ALOOOOOOOO: if the kesses make flyers to give to the contractors and construction workers, i think there should be a large pic of jennifer AND ESPECIALLY a large pic of the construction site as it looked on that day and the weeks before. i think that;'s crucial, because perhaps not all of the workers even knew what happened.
