Family refuses to give up search for Jennifer Kesse who vanished 14 years  ago from Orlando, Florida home

Twenty-four-year-old Jennifer Kesse was last seen on January 23, 2006 in Orlando, Florida. The weekend before she went missing, she was on vacation with her boyfriend at St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. She came home on Sunday, stayed at her boyfriend's house and went to her job as a financial manager at Central Florida Investments Timeshare Company in Ocoee, Florida the next day.

On January 23rd, Jennifer spoke on the phone with her dad while she drove home from work and then talked to her boyfriend that night. The next day, her co-workers notified Jennifer's family after she failed to show up for work.

When her parents went to her apartment, Jennifer was missing along with her purse, cell phone and her black four-door 2004 Chevrolet Malibu car. Three days later, her car was found in the parking lot of the Huntington on the Green apartment complex located less than a mile from her home. Residents at the complex said that the car was in the parking lot for several days.

Prior to her disappearance, Jennifer's apartment complex was undergoing an expansion and she stated that she was afraid of some of the construction workers, telling her family members that the workers would catcall, whistle and harass her; however, investigators were unable to interrogate the workers because many of them did not speak English.

As investigators questioned Jennifer's coworkers, it was discovered that a manager wanted to have a relationship with Jennifer, but she turned him down because she was against having workplace relationships. The manager was interrogated, but he was ruled out as a suspect in her disappearance.

While the authorities were reviewing surveillance tapes in the area, they discovered an unidentified person parking Jennifer's car, getting out and walking away. As of June 2010, the FBI has taken Jennifer's case from the Orlando Police Department and she remains on the FBI's Most Wanted\Missing List.

In 2018, Jennifer's parents filed a lawsuit against the Orlando Police Department in order to gain access to police records on her case. The lawsuit was settled in 2019 and the family was given access to 16,000 pages of records. Jennifer's case is classified as an endangered missing person.
