FL - Jennifer Kesse, 24, Orlando, 24 Jan 2006 - #14

<modsnip> is there anyone actively working on Jennifer's case? Jennifer case is one close to me for the sake of being friends with someone close to the family. We need to push Jennifer's case to get answers for her parents after all these years. I dont understand how someone leaves for work,locks their front door and just vanishes with merely just grainy video footage.

On the anniversary of her disappearance, Jennifer’s father Drew Kesse joined NewsNation’s “Banfield” to share how he feels her case was mishandled and explain how NASA got involved in the search.

“FDLE, finally after 18 years, got involved, and it took them a little while to get going, but boy, they’re going now,” Kesse said. “But they are truly putting all the resources that they have towards trying to find out what happened to Jennifer, and we couldn’t be more grateful. It’s, been too long.”

I have been close to Jennifer's case from the beginning, close with a friend of The Family. <modsnip> how she disappeared after locking her door to leave for work and vanishing with no trace or evidence is very frustrating. I feel the Hunting on the Woods complex should of been investigated and searched more than it was because that is where they found her car. <modsnip - insuations or accusations against a person not named POI by LE> My heart goes out to The Kesse's

In 2022, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement picked up the case and has been working on finding answers since then.

It's over 19 years since Jennifer vanished and I wish FDLE all the best with their investigation. I do wonder what items they're working on for DNA and where those items came from.

I know there are numerous bulging files LE have stored on this case.

 

[flgrl017]

I am glad they have some suspects. This tells me they have a good idea to what happened and the perpetrators are known to police. I don’t think we are dealing with an unknown worker. It’s also interesting timing. The owner of Westgate recently passed away. There has been some smoke around some of her coworkers over the years.

It will be very interesting where this renewed investigation leads. This mystery starts with POI dropping her car at HOTG .
Just who was the POI?

In the early days the tragic Tara Grinstead and Tracey Ocasio cases were considered possible links.
Did Jennifer frequent the Florida Tap Room?

Who was alibied?

Don't get me started on alibis! We know the ones. I was watching a movie with my brother. And many more like it.

Hopefully that POI is among that “dwindling list of suspects” that FDLE are now working with.

For a long time this case was spoken about as near-unsolvable. With recent news, thankfully that sounds like it may no longer be the case.

 

[Markybug]

i wonder who and why people of interest, no longer are?

has a previous line of enquiry now been deemed incorrect?

 

[Markybug]

never noticed this line

“They also found more evidence that has never been tested,” explained Kesse. “Huge, who knows where that could lead,” added her father.

 

[Marziaforevercherry]

I hope we start hearing more frequent updates since they said they have started to limit down the persons of interest.

 

[Pharmasgirl]

Going nowhere fast…

 

[#ThanksItWasTheTrauma]

Hope this new evidence will lead to answers. Been following this case for a couple years now and Jennifer needs Justice & her family needs peace.
