Is anybody here familiar with the Jodi Huisentruit case? I'm even more familiar with it than I am with Jennifer's case. But I'd like to draw a couple of comparisons between the two cases and why I believe Jennifer wasn't abducted as she went to her car that morning.
Jodi was FOR SURE abducted as she walked from her apartment to her car the morning she disappeared. There is absolutely no dispute about that. Her abductor still hasn't been caught by the way and it's been almost 20 years.
In Jodi's case, everything she was carrying that morning was strewn out in the parking lot right where she was attacked. In Jennifer's case, not one thing of hers was found in the parking lot.
In Jodi's case, the abductor didn't take her car--he/she/they left it there. In Jennifer's case, he/she/they took her car.
In Jodi's case, she left her place at 4am in the dark in a sleepy little city in IA where I don't think any business stays open 24 hours and still at least one person heard her scream, although no one did anything about it. In Jennifer's case, in the middle of a huge city, she probably left her place at like 7am under the sunlight and no one heard a thing.
In Jodi's case, the number 1 suspect since day one has been a guy who was a friend of hers who named his boat after her, although not one piece of evidence has ever implicated him in the crime. But he did move to AZ not long after. In Jennifer's case, the #1 suspect(s)--the apartment workers--are people who all these years later have no names, no faces, have never been implicated in any crime in Orlando or anywhere else that we know of. But somehow they all woke up one day and said: We need to make Jennifer Kesse disappear. Meanwhile, a guy--not going there with this post (please don't bump me Administrator)--who knew Jennifer well was in close proximity to her around the last time anyone talked to Jennifer.
Now, if someone can tell me, for a fact, that the day after Jennifer disappeared all those apartment workers didn't show up to work and were never heard from again. Then, I guess you got me. That would be a sign they had something to do with it, I suppose. But except for some rumors I've read to that fact, I'm not inclined to believe it.
You can all look it up: Women being abducted on the way to work is rare--it's what makes the Huisentruit case so compelling all these years later, on top of the fact she was a local TV personality. The timing is too tough. There are too many variables. Women are most often attacked in their homes, not outside them. Why? Because it's usually somebody they know doing the attacking.
mysterymaven, I'm familiar with that Target case--a totally random crime about 10 years ago, right? I've seen the security video. What you left out is the guy abducted that girl and threw her in his truck--they didn't get in her car. Why? Because it's too tough fumbling for keys, moving the seat back, etc., especially if you're in a hurry. Which, in Jennifer's case, I'm sure the workers would've been in if Jennifer was abducted as she walked from her apartment to her car.
I love this debate.
Her name was Kelsey Smith, and actually it was in her car. As she was at her driver's side door, her abductor came up from behind and pushed/forced her into her car and then he got in the car himself. The whole incident took seconds and nothing was left strewn about....so, IMO I think it's possible that a similar scenario could have happened to Jennifer.
