Jennifer Kesse was 24 when she vanished from her Orlando, Florida, condo on January 24, 2006. The last confirmed contact was the night before; she was expected at work the morning she disappeared and never arrived. Her apartment showed no sign of a struggle, but her phone, keys, and purse were missing and towels and clothing were laid out as if she had prepared for the day.

Two days later her black 2004 Chevy Malibu was found abandoned about a mile from home. surveillance video at that complex shows an unidentified person parking the car and walking away, but a fence obscured the face. Analysis, including enhancement attempts by NASA, only narrowed the person’s height to between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 5 inches; gender could not be determined. Authorities ruled out family, friends, and the boyfriend early on. Jennifer had told others she felt harassed by construction workers at her complex, but no evidence has linked them to the disappearance. Her belongings and financial accounts have seen no activity since she vanished.

The family has continued to press for information and in 2018 sued the police to obtain files; those files revealed details such as possible signs of a struggle on Jennifer’s car that had not previously been shared with the family. The case remains unsolved. Anyone with information about Jennifer, her routine that week, or the person seen on the surveillance footage is asked to come forward.
