Yes one of our new members, drumstick requested that we start up a forum for this case.

There is a lot of info out there on this case & I remember when it first happened but haven't been following it closely. IIRC there is a picture of a POI walking down the sidewalk & have wondered if they have ruled this person out of if this is still part of the investigation.

Same here Blog, I can only imagine what her family must be going through. So sad.

I remember when she went missing. Didn't follow it closely. Entwistle was consuming my crime Internet time then. So many transients in FL, hard to tell who is responsible for her disappearance. When young, pretty women go missing I always think it's a Bundy type.

Thank you for adding Jennifer here. Maybe the one person that holds the key to finding her will see this discussion and make that call.

Jennifer was abducted in the early morning, one year ago tomorrow.

I was first drawn to Jennifer's case by the media reports of her disappearance. I thought for sure law enforcement would find her right away. But as the weeks turned into months I went from shaking my head in disbelief to anger that no one was coming forward with information about this young woman's disappearance.
The only information we've had from le is that this case is as close to "vanishing" as it gets.

Thanks again for adding the discussion here.

I hope and pray that if you or someone you know has information about the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 you will call the family tip line at 1-407772-2162 or Crime Line at 1-800-423-8744.

I just recently recently thought about Christopher Wilder. The Australian playboy/photographer that murdered woman all over the US back in the 80's. He is behind the murder/disappearance of several women in Florida. IIRC, there are 2-3 Florida women they are positive he killed but never were found.

Jennifer's case reminds me of him. Not that she modeled, but that she might have encountered that type of predator. He stalked pretty women.

I always think of people in the sex trade in foreign countries being involved when the girls are beautiful, young and blond. Florida is a perfect hunting ground for girls and women like that and Orlando the perfect place lots of people coming and going all the time.

Interesting comparison Dia. Jennifer had just moved into her condo and had returned from a weekend in St. Croix the Sunday before she vanished. Coincidence or not? Could someone have been stalking her?

My heart goes out to Jennifer's family~

Great point there since her car was found in a nearby apt. complex, but her personal belongings are missing, and no sign of a 'crime' being committed either in her condo or car. As with Natalee, she's "vanished".

Sequoia, I thought of Wilder because of Shawn Hornbeck. Wilder had traveled around the US with a girl he picked & raped, let her go before he encountered the troopers and killed himself. My thinking was Shawn had gained Devlin's trust and some weird emotional attachment to allow him to live too.

Yes I see what you're saying about Wilder. I think that there's a possibility Jennifer was abducted to be kept alive, but more in line with what was said about the sex-trade or for sexual purposes by the abductor. It just seems so eerie that there was no evidence left behind of a crime or any trace of what could've happened to her.

[drumstick]

Great points!

In Natalee's case, her parents have three suspects and through all of the "thrown away" (later recovered) police reports they have a better understanding of what happened to their daughter. IMO

In Wilder's travels, you have to remember this was back in the 80's before communication with the public and between le agencies had been taken to an "instant" level. Awareness of disappearances was delayed.
Just in the last five years we have seen a tremendous difference in the way information is distributed.
One thing hasn't changed through all the new technology ... le still needs the public to be their eyes and call in information.

As with Jennifer's case. She wasn't at a bar or coming home from a bar where people may have seen her or a camera may have caught her image.
She wasn't running with a rough crowd or drug users. She wasn't in a violent relationship with a restraining order (like we see in so many cases).
Nor was she involved in porno or escort, exotic dancing, and prostitution.

She was by all standards, a "good" girl doing all the right things.

From what we know of this case she doesn't fit any of the profiles usually seen with "missing" cases.

Somebody knows what happened to her.

I hope they make that call.

One year ago today ... praying for answers....

This is a very sad day for her friends and family. I agree she was a good girl and had a bright future and no reason to leave her life.

My heart goes out to her family I can only imagine what today must be like for them. A terribly sad day for them. They haven't given up tho and she could be out there look at Elizabeth Smart. You just never know.

May God Bless The Family & Friends of Jennifer Kesse today & everyday until they get the answers they need to bring her home.

The one thing I remember from the beginning of this case was that Jennifer expressed uneasiness about some men (construction workers or maintenance?) at her new condo complex. There was also that unknown guy who was captured on the video surveillance of the apt. complex where her car was found. So rape or robbery could've been the motive here but what's strange that her car was recovered intact and with no evidence of a crime being committed inside it.

I remember that now. Why leave her car behind did she go willingly in hopes that he would let her go or could she have been drugged I wonder.

The perp parked her car there after she had been abducted. The car was found two days later at an adjoining apt. complex. It is presumed from the clothing found in her condo, water residue in the shower, etc. that she'd gotten dressed for the day and was headed to work when something happened.

[Pearl Chaviss]

I was thinking she got out of the car and someone may have come up behind her and put something over her mouth and nose that knocked her out. Do they know how many miles she had on her car before she went missing? That would help a lot they would know how far he may have driven with her. If it happened that way of course.
