Father’s pursuit for missing daughter heats up with new evidence in case that’s no longer cold

Dad's Hunt for Missing Daughter Gains Momentum with Fresh Clues in Revived Case

Almost 20 years after a Florida woman disappeared without a trace from her apartment complex, there has been a significant development that may rejuvenate what was once a cold case.

Jennifer Kesse, aged 24, went missing from her Orlando condominium on the morning of January 24, 2006, after she left for work. This disappearance had puzzled both state and federal authorities as they urgently tried to apprehend her kidnapper.

“About an hour and a half into the workday, I got a call from her workplace,” Jennifer’s father, Drew Kesse, shared with Fox News Digital. “They said, ‘Jennifer missed a meeting this morning, which isn’t like her at all. Do you know her whereabouts?'”

“I want to know where Jennifer is,” Kesse said. “Dead or alive.” 

Anyone with information about Jennifer’s disappearance is encouraged to contact FDLE’s Orlando office at (407) 245-0888 or OROCColdCaseTips@fdle.state.fl.us.

In light of Jennifer’s disappearance, the Florida House of Representatives unanimously passed “The Jennifer Kesse and Tiffany Sessions Missing Persons Act,” fundamentally reforming how missing persons reports are investigated in Florida by requiring law enforcement agencies to enact written policies for handling such cases. 

“Until authorities finally put [Jennifer’s disappearance] together, hopefully very soon, we’ll keep working,” Kesse told Fox News Digital. “We keep moving forward with the authorities, hopefully to bring her home someday.”
