The Unending Search for Jennifer Kesse: A Family's 20-Year Fight

Twenty years have passed since Jennifer Kesse went missing, but her parents, Drew and Joyce, are still searching for answers.

A Never-Ending Nightmare

Jennifer's Disappearance: Jennifer was just 24 years old when she vanished on January 24, 2006. She never showed up for work in Orlando, Florida.
Parents' Struggle: The past two decades have been a surreal and never-ending nightmare for her parents, who search for their daughter every day.

Abandoned Car: Jennifer's car was found about a mile from her home.
Surveillance Video: Video showed someone parking her car and walking away, but the person's face was not visible.
Empty Apartment: Drew, Jennifer's father, knew something was wrong when he couldn't reach her. They found her apartment empty with clothes laid out on her bed.

Police Dismissal: The Orlando Police Department (OPD) initially dismissed their concerns, suggesting Jennifer might have had a fight with her boyfriend.
Legal Action: The Kesses later sued OPD to gain access to Jennifer's case file, which spans over 16,000 pages.
Emotional Toll: The search has taken an immense emotional and physical toll, but the Kesses remain determined.

FDLE Involvement: The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is now overseeing the case.
AI and Surveillance: The Kesses are exploring new investigative methods, including working with an artificial intelligence firm to analyze the case file and surveillance video.
Unique Identification: They are focusing on identifying the person of interest through physical characteristics visible in the video. Drew noted that an ear is as unique as a fingerprint.

DNA Testing: New DNA samples were tested last year, and investigators are closer than ever to identifying several people they want to speak with.
Targeted Attack: The Kesses believe Jennifer was taken shortly after her disappearance and may have been targeted because she was alone.
Unwavering Determination: Despite the passage of time, the Kesses' determination has not faded. They are committed to finding their daughter, no matter what it takes.
