FL - Jennifer Kesse, 24, Orlando, 24 Jan 2006 - #1

[13th Juror]

Remember- there's Kinkos (Fed Ex) and the UPS store... The Kinkos near me was open 24-7.

LOL, Audrey77 .. I was just about to post the exact same thing when I saw your post.

I agree - there are several Kinkos that are open 24/7 (in non-scary areas) within 4-10 miles of my home. I've utilized their convenient facilities late at night when they're less busy more times than I can count. Love our local Kinkos!


Also - SailorGirl, a hearty welcome to Websleuths! Are you in the Orlando area?

You're correct that there is only one late night post office and it's located just east of OIA off Tradeport Blvd.

I would have disagreed with you though that it would take 25 minutes from Jen's condo at Mosaic at Millenia. I was guessing, at the most - 15-18 minutes. 'Mosaic' is 20 miles closer to that postal facility than my location and it only takes me 35-40 minutes (after 10 in the evening) to arrive at that postal facility.

Anyway, I did a quick MSN search and found that you were probably closer to the correct travel time. It's 15.4 miles to that P.O. with an 11.8 mile return trip. Estimated drive times were 22 min & 21 min. respectively.

Map from Jen's condo to the only late-night airport off Tradeport Blvd - 15.4 mi - 22 min there & 11.8 miles - 21 min. return


Still -'Kinkos' would be a much smarter choice for Jennifer and there is one on Universal Blvd - not far from Jen's condo. I wonder if LE has checked the routes to those locations - and surrounding areas?


Map from Jen's condo (3573 Conroy Rd, Orl) to closest Kinkos (9400 Universal Blvd, Orl) - 5.7 miles - 9 min.


Lots of 'missing flyers' passed out at the Daytona 500 yesterday. My hubby & son said there were quite a number of volunteers there - and "tons" of flyers!

If you go out to overnite something and put in a box how do you pay? Do you have an account number with the shipper or use a credit card?

Just curious - I haven't ever done that except with a Fed Ex shipper number - others I go to a Mail Boxes during business hours.

Hi Medusa

To respond to your question ...

We have accounts (secured by a credit card) with FedEx, FedEx Ground, & UPS. Pre-printed shipping labels with account holder's name, address & acct. # are sent directly from these shippers along with any packaging materials you may need. Very convenient!

Usually we just leave the package at the front door for a regular pick-up but, if it's a rush kinda thing -sometimes we take it to Kinkos or to the airport FedEx to get it out on a flight immediately.

Our earliest local afternoon/evening news is at 4 pm on WKMG - local6.

No news release yet today by either local LE or the FBI on forensics - or anything else.

Just a quickie quip from the anchor that it's been 4 weeks today since any known person has had contact with Jennifer. Still waiting for a break ...

I just read some suggestions in another blog.
They suggested the hat was a Kangol type. http://www.villagehatshop.com/kangol.html

Pants looked stranged like they were tucked in. Maybe a cook.
Shoes had white logo on side.

 

[strach304]

Kangol is the brand they have every style hat imaginable just about. What pic did the info on hat and shoes come from? Has the fbi been able to get better results? ROTC type uniform?

I also hope there is a miracle in this puzzling case - but the realist in me isn't holding out much hope for that outcome. Not after almost a month and not a single sign that she is alive.


13th Juror

Thank you 13th Juror for your reply.

I agree, reality is knocking on my door also.

I think it IS going to take a miracle at this point also to find her alive, as it has been a month or so since Jennifer went missing.

It appears to me, one lead after another has fizzled out. LE must be at their wits end. I'm beginning to think, they want the public and Jennifer's family to believe they are hot on the trail all the time, but I am dubious.

I don't know how many articles I have read where they say case almost solved or 'this week'! Here is another: Read this article and see if you take it the way I did, where it is stated from the tips from AMW, the investigators will have something to do on Monday! Were they running out of things to do? Were they running out of tips and were the previous leads running into dead-ends? Hopefully the FBI and when they get the lab reports back, Jennifer will be found.

I never read anything about 'ongoing' searches for Jennifer. I don't think there has been a 'search center' established, infact didn't the searches cease already?

So much appears to be hanging on the poi person. Before that it was the sighting/prostitute debacle.

There has been great emphasis, that Jenniferis still alive, but I have to wonder since the prostitute look-alike, if that has changed.

This case is beginning to have Patsy Ramsey's voice ringing in my head we need that one more tip!

Kesse Search: New Information
Case May Soon Be Solved

New Information tonight in the search for Jennifer Kesse. Authorities believe this could be the week that makes or breaks the case.

For a month now, Jennifer Kesse's parents have begged the public for help in finding their daughter. And it looks like your response to the case is now bringing detectives closer and closer to clues. News 13 has learned an orlando detective in the Jennifer Kesse case was in Washington, DC this weekend at the hotline center at America's Most Wanted. He has returned to orlando fueled, with more leads in this case.

The show that helped capture 878 fugitives, could be bringing detectives closer to answers about Jennifer Kesse. A Sargeant in charge of the case tells news 13 he worked 76 hours this past week, including, collecting information from viewers who watch America's Most Wanted. We've learned the show that featured Jennifer Kesse for just 47 seconds this weekend, brought enough information to the case that kept detectives busy Monday. We're told detectives are positive some of this information this week could very well break the case. In fact this is a big week. Detectives are anxiously awaiting FBI results from special surveyors who studied the picture of the person of interest. That information should be release to viewers soon. Detectives hope someone can help find that person of interest, seen walking near the complex where Jennifer Kesse car was found. News 13 has also learned, police are waiting for any and all evidence found inside the Jennifer Kesse car. We've learned evidence was sent for further analysis to crime labs operated by the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Detectives tell News 13, the smallest piece of evidence could be just they are looking for, that's why they've received special permission to expedite those results.

Strach, at the condo where Jennifer's car had been found, there was a surveilance camera which had two shots of a person walking by there about the time LE thought Jennifer's car might have been left there.


There is a link for the pics and some work done on the pics by Beyond Belief, on the page 2 and 3, I believe.

The FBI was at 'the' condo this week working with the camera to see what they thought as far as distance/clarity etc, and are now analyzing the pictures. The report as far as we know, is slow in coming. I think it was due days ago.

Go check out the pics and tell us what u think, please. So far, we all see something different. BB has put a lot of work into the pics.

13th Juror

I just wanted to add that you can print postage online at the USPS website
using a credit card.
It is possible she did this.
Also... to drop off a package that has postage the post office wouldn't
need to be open late. They have drop boxes.

 

[docwho3]

I wonder if there was a gardener/landscaper with a pump spray or an exterminator with a pump spray seen in the area when that pic of the POI turned up?

 

[Beyond Belief]

I thought about that one, doc. Maybe mistaking wrinkles around the knees and actually it is a hose of some kind.

 

[Beyond Belief]

Most of the stuff I "think" I see I haven't told you about. Last night working with blue and red, a square appeared over the fence lock on the shirt like it was logo with writting. The shoe seems to be two colors with a lighter color across the tongue area and around the ankle from film clip 1.
The head has always looked off balance compared to the foot. Different times it looks like the face appears, but who knows for sure.
I keep feeling like this is a biker type, but common sense goes back to the repair man idea.

And the letters DETZ or something like that on whatever is being carried.

not much new info, but Im guessing this is what they were talking about yesterday

 

[sailorgirl]

Used to live in Orlando, grew up there. This occurred in my old stomping grounds. I didn't even think about a kinko's. I used to live near Jennifers place and it took me about 15 minutes to drive to the Tradeport Drive facility. That was about 15 years ago, I added in time for traffic. I am new to posting but have been reading this board for about two years. Lacy got me hooked.

Beyond Belief, your message box is full! lol

I was sending you this message:

Hi BB

I'm not sending this to you because the word detz is in the link--Lord knows where this is, but I put that in google, a detz team came up, when clicked on another link, one I posted here,--it is obvious a biker wears a 'cap' under a helmet. I'm not familiar with what bikers wear or do not wear, and I was surprised to see the little caps on their heads. You could be right about poi being a 'biker'.

I just wish I could see your pictures better. Thanks for all the work u r doing.

I could be silly for sending, now posting this, thought the under-caps were interesting. Bikers wear 'undercaps'? News to me! Don't know any bikers :rollseyes:


ps
WELCOME SailorGirl!

Wow LeMar. Who wrote that? It sounds like a screenplay for a tv show. I have to agree with most of it, but one should never stop seeking other avenues. The POI photo definitely shows he/she carrying things. Why would he remove the things from the car? That part doesn't make sense if they are Jenn's things being carried. The missing cell phone is the biggest puzzle. If this had happened at the condo, the perp would have probably left the cell phone in the car or even better have mailed it, so the LE would think she had made it to a drop box.
It did explain that there was a half a tank of gas left. That would be correct. How did this person know there was a half a tank of gas?
This morning I also found letters MAV or MAY.

I wonder if the POI is carrying bags from the shopping Mall? That would account for lettering and objects that don't make sense. There for a while I thought maybe a record album because of the images I keep seeing. Theres 4 heads next to each other like a band would pose.

Detectives: Someone Other Than Jennifer Drove Her Car

POSTED: 12:07 pm EST February 21, 2006
UPDATED: 4:01 pm EST February 21, 2006

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Channel 9 has new information about the person of interest wanted for questioning in the case of a missing woman. Jennifer Kesse was reported missing four weeks ago. Also, a major clue in the case, Jennifer’s car, may now be a crime scene.

Detectives wrapped up a news conference at Orlando police headquarters late Tuesday morning. Two big pieces of information came out of the press conference. First, detectives now confirm someone other than Jennifer drove her car the night or morning she disappeared.

Detectives also released the approximate height of the person of interest in the case.

Detectives said the best piece of evidence they have is Jennifer's black Chevy Malibu, recovered about a mile from her condo two days after she vanished. Police said they believe she was abducted between ten o'clock Monday night and 8 o'clock Tuesday morning four weeks ago.

"It's about a life. It's our daughter's life and we need your help more than ever right now," said Jennifer's father, Drew Kesse.

Investigators are calling on the public to think back whether they saw someone other than Jennifer driving the car during that time frame. The car is being called a crime scene.

"It is the one link we have, or the last link we have, between Ms. Kesse and we believe she was in or near that vehicle during the time of her abduction," said Sgt. Rich Ring, Orlando Police Department.

Police also want to talk with the person in surveillance photos, now saying the man or woman is between 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-5. But the surveillance pictures were too fuzzy for the FBI to determine an approximate weight or shoe size. Detectives said the person of interest may have seen someone ditch Jennifer's car at the Huntington on the Green condos.

Wow LeMar. Who wrote that? It sounds like a screenplay for a tv show. I have to agree with most of it, but one should never stop seeking other avenues.

Beyond, it was signed by a Christopher Marlowe, I dunno to who he is. There is another blog is which run by a person chosen by the Kesse family. It was posted there today and the admin (chosen person) deleted it, as to not upset the Kesse family, who read there.

http://jenniferkesse.com/forum/index.php

They have it designed for tips, comments, friends, family, and suggestions.

I posted a question asking about Jennifer's boyfriend, asking about his alibai and that almost was deleted!!!! I felt so bad and opologized profusely. But it was a normal line of thought, so I thought!

The POI photo definitely shows he/she carrying things. Why would he remove the things from the car? That part doesn't make sense if they are Jenn's things being carried. The missing cell phone is the biggest puzzle. If this had happened at the condo, the perp would have probably left the cell phone in the car or even better have mailed it, so the LE would think she had made it to a drop box.

I am thinking the poi wasn't the abductor, possibly someone LE thinks might have seen something or someone when the car was left at Huntington.

It did explain that there was a half a tank of gas left. That would be correct. How did this person know there was a half a tank of gas?
This morning I also found letters MAV or MAY.

The 1/2 tank of gas had been reported, I read it in an article somewhere. What about MACY'S instead of MAV?or MAY? You sure are seeing more than the FBI, either that or they aren't giving a full report, huh?

I wonder if the POI is carrying bags from the shopping Mall? That would account for lettering and objects that don't make sense. There for a while I thought maybe a record album because of the images I keep seeing. Theres 4 heads next to each other like a band would pose.

I'm not puter savy enough to work on the picture, I envy you.

 

[LaMer]

Someone other than Jennifer driving her car, would support the theory, the abductor had to get back to Jennifer's complex for a specific reason, being the bloodhound traced the scent there, especially going through the fence.

Maybe the abductor moved the car to throw LE off, didn't want LE to think Jennifer disappeared from her condo. Makes workers/employees/residents there suspicious suspects, not wanting her disappearance to be connected to her complex.

Either the abductor had to get home (complex resident) or get back to work and not be missed, or had their car there. If the timeline of seeing Jennifer's car on the road, was correct, it was around 1:00PM, the perp would've had time to do whatever and get rid of her body maybe in his own vehicle, go back to Jen's complex, then take Jen's car to the Huntington, and run/walk back to Jennifer's complex. If she was abducted early in the morning, and her car was spotted at 1 PM, doesn't seem as if one would've been in a hurry to get back to work, unless working alone, and would not have been missed.

Wonder if it is too late to use the bloodhounds to check all the cars and trucks which would've been known to be there on the day Jen went missing. There should be work schedules available. Wonder if some might have gotten rid of their cars or trucks.

Kesse disappearance now an abduction case
Tuesday, February 21, 2006

Kesse was last seen Jan. 23.
Orlando authorities announced Tuesday that they believe Jennifer Kesse was abducted.

They're looking for a person of interest seen walking near the apartment complex where Kesse's car was found.

Officers say the person is small, between 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-5, but they can't determine if the person is a male or female.

"Right now, we are not trying to say that the person of interest is anybody more than in the area of the complex when the vehicle was dropped off," said Sgt. Rich Ring. "That person of interest may have seen somebody get out of Miss Kesse's car at the time that this occurred. And that person of interest, we need to talk to them."
