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

I thought it might have been done by a neighbor who lives in the same or nearby complex. Maybe he even dragged her into his house somehow before she went to or drove to work. It seems to me that he acted alone, some kind of sexual freak who lives or works nearby. In the photo I see a young man, with jogger pants and a hat, he doesn't look like a woman at all, his feet are big.

I'M still puzzled about where this DNA came from. Her car was gone a few weeks after the abduction.

It's almost 20 years and there hasn't been a crime scene declared.

Perhaps towels or some other items from her condo were kept as potential evidence.

A terrible tragedy turned into a frustrating mystery.

I can't guarantee 100%, but as I understand it, the DNA from the hair found in the car means that with current technology they found something they couldn't before.

I watched an interview with Jennifer's father, and as I understand it, new DNA samples were found and old ones were not even tested. He also mentioned that maybe AI was used to help, there is some company with some special app. He also mentioned that there are specific individuals - suspects. I have a lot of hope for this, he should have left DNA.

If they do have useful DNA the next step is to match it to a suspect. Some will be easier to access than others. Hopefully data bases will produce a result.

I know this was posted a long time ago but imo there are a lot of similarities to the height, build, and hair style to Chino.

He was a maintenance worker at the condo complex she lived at. He was in her apartment a week prior. He served time in prison for sexual assault a few years after Jennifer’s disappearance.

Has this investigation stalled again? It has been 5 months since the 'this case is not cold' announcement. That's on top of almost 20 years since the crime itself.

I’m looking forward to the new documentary that Drew has been talking about. I assume it will come out around the 20 year anniversary of her disappearance. He keeps saying they’ve narrowed the list of suspects so we’ll see if there is any new info they’re willing to share. Hopefully the dna he keeps mentioning gives them answers.

I don’t think the poi is chino since he and the other maintenance person he was working with on Tuesday both passed polygraphs. Their manager also said they were both at work on Tuesday. Chino is a lot taller than the fbi height estimate. They’ve thrown the initial height estimate out, and never gave a new one.

Drew gave this interview in November 2020. He stated “Chino is just someone that happened to work and live at Mosaic at Millenia, and he is just someone in a line of people that we needed to talk to. Not as a person of interest to be quite honest with you, but for his knowledge. I mean he was there every day. He lived there. He worked there.”

The problem with the poi is you can drive around the block and see several people that fit the description of the poi. Since the dog that tracked back to Mosaic was tracking Jennifer’s scent, we don’t even know where the poi went when he left the camera’s view.

Hopeful we see some significant developments this year. The recent movement in the case has been very promising, and there’s an encouraging line in the linked post above:
“with investigators closer than ever to identifying several people they'd like to speak with.”

Let’s hope Jennifer and her family are closer than ever to finding peace and justice.

From the article:

*****
The Kesse's are working with an AI firm to study not just the 16,000-page case file for unsung clues, but also to analyze this video.

While it has long been a dead end because the person of interest's face isn't visible, the goal is now to match the ear with every publicly available photo database.

"An ear is just like an eye or a fingerprint. It's very unique to a person," explained Drew Kesse. "When we find the ear, then we find the person."

forgive the pessimism, but I'm skeptical they're going to find the perp based on an image of an ear, much less a blurry, pixellated one.

otoh, I could see applying machine learning to the case producing a novel lead or two, depending on what model they use, how it's trained, and what facts they feed into it. though even that might not come up with much beyond what statistics would tell you.

what happened with the efforts to test for more dna and/or apply forensic genealogy to whatever they do have?
