\t\t\t\t\t\tORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Saturday marks 20 years since Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her Orlando condominium. <\/p>\n
It’s a case that has haunted Central Florida for two decades and remains unsolved.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video showed someone parking the vehicle and walking away, but the person\u2019s face was obscured by fencing and outdated camera technology. For years, the grainy image was the only significant lead in the case.<\/p>\n
Now, there is renewed hope.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s disappearance. Her family says FDLE has narrowed its list of suspects to just a few.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is incredible hope this past year,\u201d said Kesse\u2019s father, Drew Kesse. \u201cWe will be meeting next week with FDLE for an update.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey do tell us the case is moving forward very quickly and that they believe they are going to solve it,\u201d Drew Kesse said. \u201cThat\u2019s very encouraging to this family.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to fathom at times, but it\u2019s our reality,\u201d her father said.<\/p>\n
Even after 20 years, the family says they believe answers will come.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this point, this family and investigators believe an answer will come,\u201d Drew Kesse said. \u201cWe just don\u2019t know when.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Kesse family has long credited the Orlando community for continuing to support them and keep Jennifer\u2019s name in the public eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cOrlando has never given up on Jennifer, and they never gave up on us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
FDLE says the investigation remains active. Anyone with information about Jennifer Kesse\u2019s disappearance is urged to contact law enforcement.<\/p>\n
Her family says they will not stop searching until they finally get answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday marks 20 years since Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her Orlando condominium.
