MISSING PERSON: Jennifer Kesse

Police Using Surveillance Video In Search For Woman

POSTED: 3:32 pm EST January 31, 2006
UPDATED: 5:40 pm EST January 31, 2006

Police are using surveillance video from stores to try to find missing 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse. Officers have already taken the tapes from several businesses located near Jennifer's condo, which is near the Mall of Millenia.

Police are now releasing a timeline as to when they think Jennifer's car came through the South John Young Parkway corridor and detectives are scouring the store surveillance tapes hoping one of the cameras captured something to narrow the timeline.

Jennifer's car is still the best clue police have. A woman, who didn't want to be identified, but lives in the Huntington on the Green apartments where Jennifer's car was found last Thursday morning, remembers seeing the car a whole day earlier, Wednesday morning. She nearly hit it, in the lot.

"My kids were making noise in the car and I almost backed into it," she said. "I didn't notice that car before and, when I noticed it, I knew it wasn't somebody staying around here."

Police want to hear from anyone who may have seen the Chevy Malibu anytime after 10pm Monday night, when Jennifer last spoke to her boyfriend, and Thursday morning at 8am, when the car was found.

Detectives think Jennifer herself, or someone else, was traveling on South John Young Parkway, between Texas and Americana and Conroy Road by the Mall of Millenia, during that time frame.

A manager at the 7-Eleven along John Young and Americana confirmed that police collected their outdoor surveillance tapes looking for clues.

The sheriff's helicopter crew searched the same vicinity and the woods next to Mosaic condos, where Jennifer lives, along with Orlando's mounted patrol. The bloodhounds who first picked up a scent from Jennifer's car last Thursday were on the hunt again at Huntington on the Green apartments Tuesday. Some residents there have been interviewed by detectives two and three times.

Jennifer's family picked up another 50,000 fliers to distribute Tuesday. They now have the help of Orlando firefighters, who have permission to pass out flyers during their calls for service, especially in high crime areas that might not be safe for Jennifer’s family and friends.

Jennifer was last heard from eight days ago and was reported missing after she failed to show up for work Tuesday. Her car was found about three-quarters of a mile away from her condo on Thursday. Police have not yet released what, if anything, they found inside the car.

A $115,000 reward has been established for anyone who has information that will help find Jennifer.
