LE has stated they only have a partial print and partial DNA from Jennifer's car. They've never stated they found anything forensic evidence that Jennifer had been in the trunk which leads me to wonder if another vehicle wasn't used. And the car was moved after the abduction to confuse or delay the investigation.
Bold by me: Do you feel the trunk was excluded by their statements that evidence was found in the car?
Mrs. Kesse has recently said that LE kept all items that were in Jennifer's trunk. To this day, even the Kesses have not been given a list of those items.
Below I'll link an article from the 10 year presser stating LE was going to re-submit evidence from "Kesse's car". We all know now that nothing came of the re-submission, but the link still works and I don't personally see how the trunk can be excluded.
In fact, it's been said--but I'm stating this as rumor only as I have no link for it at the current time--that the only prints found in the car were Jennifer's. If true, that indicates to me that not only was the car not wiped; but that the partial print did not come from the driver/passenger section of Jennifer's vehicle.
Snipped quote: Detectives are actively working the case and said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is re-examining evidence from Kesses car. Orlando Police Detective Teresa Sprague said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is re-examining evidence. She says new technology may uncover to new leads.
A lot of the testing thats been done can be redone with these new kits, said Det. Sprague. We are concentrating on Jennifers vehicle. We think the answers probably there. So some of the things they have tested and have not been successful with we want to re submit to them.

I don't remember the timeline, but Jennifer's parents called the condo manager and asked to him to check on the condo while they were in route to Orlando. He supposedly checked her parking spot and her car was gone then. I don't remember when this occurred, but I believe it was before noon. Workers that morning stated her car was already gone and that was probably between 0730 and 0800. (A tall, good looking lady was probably someone they noticed every morning and Jennifer stated they were often staring at her to the point where it made her uncomfortable. So, yes, they might have noticed.) So, moved twice? Possible.
Very risky.
So many questions, though. LE delayed doing any investigating of the case so when did they finally talk to the workers? With Jennifer being out of town and her car parked at her boy friend's place 2 hours away could the workers have Tuesday confused with Monday? Her car was probably gone from that spot since the middle of the previous week. Even though Jennifer is a striking lady, how much credence do I put in the fact that the workers are going to make note of one person each and every day?
Even though the condos were only partially occupied, you would think if there was a scream at least ONE person would have heard it. If Jennifer were attacked suddenly between her condo and the car, she would have dropped her purse and maybe her briefcase. Whoever did this took the time to clean up the scene as well as abduct Jennifer? As I've noted before there was a similar case in the 90's. Jodi Huisentruit. It happened much earlier in the morning (btw 0500 and 0600?). At least 2 neighbors heard screams, heard a vehicle leaving the area. Jodi's key was broken off in the lock as if she were abducted while opening her car door and personal items - a shoe and things she was carrying were found around Jodi's car. But in Jennifer's case there is nothing like that here.
Bold by me: Something probably worth noting although I no longer believe Jennifer was abducted in the morning--Mr. Kesse has said that every Tuesday morning without fail, five lawn care workers arrived to do grounds maintenance on Jennifer's building. Well, there would be at least one lawn mower going, possibly more, plus trimmers, etc. Maybe the noise would drown out any scream?
If Jennifer's car REALLY wasn't in her spot when the landscapers arrived - and I believe she usually left after they already arrived - then we don't really know when the car was moved since she was last heard from the night before. And I still find it interesting that LE has never mentioned finding any forensic evidence of someone - alive or dead - in the trunk.
But they did call the car a crime scene early on in the investigation. The Kesses say Jennifer left for work between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. (I have never heard what her actual work hours were--I find that odd).
We know there had been approximately 11 pings from at least one of the cell phones by 10:20 pm on the 23rd--so something was moving--somewhere and somehow.
However, not only do we not know when the car was "moved", (or used for the abduction); we don't know for a certainty where she parked on the 23rd. Yes, she had an assigned spot, but many people have asked if she could have parked on the other side of her building (pond side) if she wanted to; and there has never been an answer.
We have the following showing they did, indeed, look elsewhere at the complex for her car, so they must have thought it could have been parked elsewhere. Another problem with the following is no time is given, but the Kesses have been fairly consistent with giving 11:00 am to 11:15 am as the time frame of the following:
Snipped quote from Drew, Joyce, Logan Kesse and Rob Allen copied to W/S: We contacted the management office of her condo complex, explained the situation and asked them to please check on her. The door was locked, upon entering the unit they found nothing amiss, they then drove the complex in search of her car, not there. We then began the drive to Orlando, calling Rob, her friends, the hospital ERs, and the police.

In many cases I've heard where LE still has the victim's car. I believe it was either the Maura Murray or Brianna Maitland case where a reporter actually saw the victim's car in a police impound lot. But LE did not keep the car in this case. I wonder why? If forensic technology advances they can't use a new technique now.
And that partial print and DNA. That could belong to the last person that worked on Jennifer's car as it was a lease.
Maura Murray--they have her car in the outside parking lot of the towing company, I believe. Still, at least they have it available--Jennifer's was shockingly and astonishingly returned to the leasing company after being called the crime scene. That truly boggles my mind. Did anyone ever really want to find out what happened to this young woman?
