ORLANDO, Fla. —

Saturday marks 20 years since Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her Orlando condominium.

It’s a case that has haunted Central Florida for two decades and remains unsolved.

Kesse was 24 years old when she vanished on Jan. 24, 2006. She was last seen at her condo complex near downtown Orlando. Days later, investigators found her car abandoned about a mile away in another apartment complex.

Surveillance video showed someone parking the vehicle and walking away, but the person’s face was obscured by fencing and outdated camera technology. For years, the grainy image was the only significant lead in the case.

Now, there is renewed hope.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the investigation, re-examining evidence using modern technology that was not available at the time of Kesse’s disappearance. Her family says FDLE has narrowed its list of suspects to just a few.

“There is incredible hope this past year,” said Kesse’s father, Drew Kesse. “We will be meeting next week with FDLE for an update.”

FDLE has not released details about the investigation, citing its active status, but the family says investigators have told them the case is moving forward quickly.

“They do tell us the case is moving forward very quickly and that they believe they are going to solve it,” Drew Kesse said. “That’s very encouraging to this family.”

Kesse would be 44 years old this year. Her family says the passage of time has not made the loss any easier, but it has strengthened their resolve to keep searching for answers.

“It’s hard to fathom at times, but it’s our reality,” her father said.

Even after 20 years, the family says they believe answers will come.

“At this point, this family and investigators believe an answer will come,” Drew Kesse said. “We just don’t know when.”

The Kesse family has long credited the Orlando community for continuing to support them and keep Jennifer’s name in the public eye.

“Orlando has never given up on Jennifer, and they never gave up on us,” he said.

FDLE says the investigation remains active. Anyone with information about Jennifer Kesse’s disappearance is urged to contact law enforcement.

Her family says they will not stop searching until they finally get answers.
