(News) – Florida woman Jennifer Kesse was last seen abandoned to work in 2006. 19 years later, her family is still looking for answers, but Hope remains with the involvement of state and federal agencies.
On the anniversary of her disappearance, Jennifer’s father Drew Kesse joined Newsnations “Banfield“To share how he feels that her case was abused and explain how NASA was involved in the search.
“It’s Jennifer’s time in the set -up, I assume that either exists or is not found,” said Drew Kesse.
What happened to Jennifer Kesse?
In 2016, 10 years after her disappearance, Jennifer was officially declared dead by the state of Florida. Since then, the Orlando Police Department handed the cases to the family, which has now hired a private investigator in the hope of answer.
They also enlisted the help of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is now leading the investigation. The agency announced on Friday that it has conducted more than 50 interviews and reviewed tens of thousands of documents and evidence in the hope of developing new opportunities to explore.
“Fdle, eventually after 18 years, got involved and it took them some time to get started, but boy, they are going now,” Kesse said. “But they really put all the resources they have to try to try to find out what happened to Jennifer and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Almost two decades since January 24, 2006, Jennifer’s Day started like any other. She took a shower, got dressed, did her hair and makeup and then went to work. But that was then things wriggled from the usual routine.
The 24-year-old simply disappeared. Her boyfriend did not get her usual text that morning and he couldn’t reach her by phone. She did not show up for work that was unlike her, according to friends and family.
Jennifer’s parents realized that her purse, keys, phone and iPod – objects she would typically go to work – lacked from her home. That’s when Jennifer’s parents contacted the Orlando Police Department.
Shortly after, Jennifer’s car was found to be left a mile away at another apartment complex. Occasional security cameras showed pictures of a man who parked her car around noon the day she disappeared.
Because the video was so grained, the police made the rare move by reaching NASA for help.
NASA’s role in Jennifer Kesses missing persons
NASA was able to produce a clearer image and provide a partial profile of the suspect who was wearing clothes typical of a painter or kind of worker.
At the time of Jennifer’s disappearance, she told her parents that workers in her building made her feel “uncomfortable.”
When the family received the evidence from the local police, they realized that the leading detective had not investigated.
“Come to find out she didn’t write a single word in seven years,” Kesse said. “It’s a good thing that it’s out of Orlando. I honestly don’t think they had the talent to do what is needed to do in a prolonged missing person. “
Proof in Jennifer Kesses Case
A witness saw Jennifer’s car hover out of the Condo complex.
Handprints and scratches on her car, which seemed to be cleaned before it was found, indicates that there may have been a fight. A skeleton key to Jennifer’s building had disappeared a year earlier.
Physical proof from the car includes hair and 100 fingerprints, some of which were not identified to a person at the time.
“We have to remember that technology has come so far since 2006. We didn’t even have Google Earth in 2006. It was in beta, so we still knocked twice on our phones to the letter B when we texted things like that, “Kesse said.” So it has come a long way. Unfortunately, it just didn’t help Jennifer at the time. “
The family remains hopeful despite the long delays of the decades.
“This is what we live with and we move on every day because we have unconditional love for Jennifer,” Kesse said. “We just don’t want to give up until we find her.”
