FL - Jennifer Joyce Kesse, 24, Orlando, 24 January 2006 *NamUs #MP1342* #14

This case hasn't been solved because:

No crime scene
No evidence
No witnesses

My best guess as to the car being left at HTOG is it seemed a good idea at the time.
What has become of the mysterious DNA that was discovered nearly 20 years after the crime.

It is claimed Jennifer was in her condo at 10pm on the Monday night talking to Rob.
Would she have really gone out that late after a long drive back that morning and then working all day.

Then there was Bo the bloodhound who is said to have tracked a scent back to the broken fence at Mosaic.
That was discounted almost immediately. Why?

There was a party hosted by Jennifer's brother at her condo on the Saturday night she was in St.Croix.
It was claimed an ex boyfriend was there. True or false?

This is a truly frustrating case which includes a video of a POI that is equally frustrating.

One of the detectives stated it’s the closet thing to a vanishing that he’s ever seen. No crime scene, no witnesses, and not much evidence. I do find it interesting that Rich Ring said that economic crimes investigated this case. I wonder what triggered that.

The last call was on her cell phone so she can’t technically be placed at her condo at 9:56 Monday evening. It’s strange to me that they claim she was in her bed talking to him, but they’ve also said her cell phone didn’t work inside her condo and she went on her balcony to use it. They also have said the cell tower closest to her condo was down that night so one would assume the signal would have been worse than usual. I’m not convinced she was inside her condo when she spoke to Rob. They were fighting because Rob didn’t want to come to Orlando the next weekend to visit. They also don’t know or say they don’t know what she ate for dinner Monday evening. Then there is that knock that Drew has went back and forth on. The last time he spoke on it, he claimed there was a knock on her door right after she got home Monday evening. I find that especially interesting since she had been gone several days. It seems like someone was waiting and watching for her to return or maybe she invited someone over that she didn’t want her family and friends to know about.

As far as the dogs go I think it’s because it’s unconclusive. Especially when you read the police report. There was another dog that they thought was tracking the poi. The dog that tracked back to Mosaic was tracking Jennifer’s scent. I’ll attach what the police report says regarding the dog tracks. It’s from this post: FL - Jennifer Kesse, 24, Orlando, 24 Jan 2006 - #13

I’m not sure if there was an actual party, but they did say that the ex visited her condo while Logan and his friends were in town. Logan has commented that it must have been weird for him and her parents claim that he wanted her back. The same ex placed himself across the street at a bar at the mall Monday evening.

Then you have the two co workers that ended up at the Lake Ellenor office Tuesday afternoon. That is very close to HOTG and it wouldn’t surprise me if they drive by her car on their trip. One of those coworkers is the one that her parents claim was harassing her.

The Kesse’s lawyer gave an interview a few months ago. His theory is the killler is a disgruntled suitor that wasn’t getting the feedback from Jennifer he thought he deserved. He didn’t say who he was referring to. There could be others out there the public doesn’t know about.

We don't know how it played out. What if Jennifer had struggled initially when the driver was pulling out, and he uses a gun or knife to subdue her, causing it to swerve. Jennifer might have complied for the rest of the drive, and that's why no one else saw the vehicle driving erratically. This sighting is unconfirmed, but I think it's unwise to dismiss it because it doesn't fit your particular theory.

It’s possible that it played out that way and it was her car, but I think it’s more probable that it wasn’t her car. Especially considering the condition of her car when it was found. I dismiss it because I don’t think it fits the evidence and because there weren’t other reports of it.

Thanks flgrl17 for those attachments.

The tracking dogs are still confusing. How did they track Jennifer's scent if she never walked that route. Dogs have a minimum of ten thousand times the sense of smell than that of us humans and it can go a lot higher than that.
Surely the dogs tracked the POI. Was the POI returning to his place of work? But then nobody is reporting seeing him, busy road and all.
Those dogs could have gone anywhere but they went to Mosaic.

I presume Jennifer's purse, cell phone, keys and ipod are still missing.

Jennifer had a landline too. I don't want to be a 'doubting Thomas' but I'd like to see some documentation on which phone she used to talk to Rob on the Monday night. Also where did her cell phone last ping from?

There are many opinions by various people about the perpetrator. For mine there are two choices. An ex or a worker from Mosaic. I lean toward 'worker' simply because stranger abductions are the most difficult to solve.

I'm sure we all hope to wake one day to see 'arrest in Jennifer Kesse' case.

It's possible Jennifer's car was moved just to cause confusion. If that's the case it worked big time.

According to calculations the car never travelled far. So just where is Jennifer?

The police report states that “Deputy Brown stated that just because his dog tracked to Jennifer’s condo doesn’t mean that she walked back there, it just means the dog picked up her scent and tracked it back to her condo.” I think the deputy thought that the dog could find Jennifer’s condo without the route being walked since it was so close to HOTG. It was only a mile. Drew told Greta Van Sustren in Feb 2006 that “I don't think they've decided what scent really was, to be honest with you, Greta. And you know, as it goes on, that scent has become distant, actually. I don't know if it held much in any fact, to be quite honest with you.”

The purse is kind of weird. They actually found the purse years ago that is still shown on the family’s website. It was in her luggage. They don’t have a description of the purse that is missing. Since they don’t have a description then I don’t think it can be said for certain that a purse is actually missing. There are two missing cell phones, Travis’s Nextel and Jennifer’s Verizon, iPod, keys, and her drivers license.

There have been conflicting reports on which phone she made the call to Rob on. The police reports says it was on her cell phone so that answers the question with 100% certainty.

 

[Myserty64]

That settles the phone issue.

The tracking dogs are still problematical. To my thinking anyway.

I tend to think if she was carrying two cell phones, Ipod, keys and drivers licence it would be convenient to carry them in something. Was she wearing garments with pockets? Early on it was thought she had both pepper spray and a whistle for personal security. Add those to the above for transporting.

Although we don't know for certain it appears she wasn't able to use either. These abductions don't happen in slow motion. They are fast and brutal.
