Kesse Family Letter

The 2009 Holidays are now upon us with Thanksgiving paving the way. This will be the 4th Holiday season that Jennifer is not where she belongs, home with her family and friends. Soon after the new year, 1/24/2010, will mark 4 years since Jennifer was taken from all of us, without notice – ABDUCTED, seemingly Vanished. These written words cannot possibly do justice for the love we have for her or the complete emptiness we feel on a moment to moment, sometimes second to second basis without her in our lives. We miss Jennifer more with each breath we take. Her absence is felt by many.
We would again urge, encourage even plead for anyone who knows anything about who took Jennifer or what has happened to her, to step forward, quietly, reach out to Crimeline (407-423-8477), Police (407-246-2918), us her family, a lawyer, clergy, media, anyone you trust to get the information to authorities or the family Tipline (407-722-2162). There is still a reward out for information leading to Jennifer or the Suspect in the video, who dropped her car off and simply walked away. We know there are people who know what has happened to our child and all we ask is for you to have the heart, as hard as it may be, to end the pain she is or has gone through and to free yourself from the knowledge of knowing something about this heinous crime and not coming forward. We would ask for you to think of the incredible feeling of FEAR Jennifer must have experienced at the time of being taken and possibly continuing into never ending torture and abuse by her Abductor(s) or her death. Think, if you will, with your heart and soul, not your mind, to let her be found for the good or bad. It’s not about us her family and the pain we experience. It is all about Jennifer and finding her, so her pain is ended.
We do give great thanks to the thousands of people who in over 60 countries have contacted us about Jennifer. For the over 1,200 leads to have been given so far, hopefully bringing us closer to the one that will create the opportunity for Jennifer to be found. We also thank our family and friends for the strength, support and courage you show us and give us everyday to continue this fight until we bring Jennifer home.
To Jennifer; Know that your family loves you- unconditionally. Your friends love you and a lot of people who you never met love you and care about you. Know we will not stop fighting to find you in every way we know how until you are with us again. Please know how much we are desperately trying to find you and will.


Drew, Joyce & Logan Kesse.

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” – Albert Einstein


Our family would like to take the opportunity to update the actions which have been ongoing in the effort to find Jennifer. Most of all we thank all of you who continue to help us in our fight to find our daughter. The awareness is still there and being passed around the world on a daily basis – PLEASE do not stop passing on this website to all you know, it works! We still to this day receive several tips a week, so we know the awareness is working. We have had many ground searches and they will continue until a lead or evidence of Jennifer in some way is found. The Police have put together another Specialized task force to look at Jennifer’s case with new eyes, so maybe someone picks up on something everyone has missed to date. Jennifer’s case is still considered “VERY ACTIVE” and authorities truly believe they will find her – we have great hope that is soon. We continue to speak on behalf of all the Missing in our state and country – the problem we have goes much farther than just Jennifer as most of you are aware.

Drew has taken on the role of President of Florida Missing Children’s Day Foundation(volunteer) – www.fmcdf.org , working in a proactive manner to speak for those who cannot do so for themselves, the Missing , Abducted, Exploited, Trafficked and Unidentified. Joyce is right there with him in full support working just as hard. We do many speaking and training engagements for Missing Persons events as well as with Law Enforcement educational training. Education is desperately needed in the arena of the missing.

There is a golf tournament in Tampa 11/14/2009, hosted by Beef O’Brady’s of Northdale & Citrus Park locations, at The Northdale Golf & Tennis Club. Please visit www.fmcdf.org “events” page for all info and registration form, it’s filling up fast. Florida Missing Children’s Day Foundation will be the recipient of all funds generated by the Tournament and we are humbled by their caring actions.

We are starting to put together the 4th annual Jennifer Kesse- “Beacon of Hope for the Missing” safety & community event marking Jennifer’s 4th year of her beyond Hell Abduction as well as bring light to the over 4500 missing persons in Florida alone. That will take place 1/23/2010, in Orlando. Please come back to the site for more information on the event in the future.

We will leave you with this thought. What would America do if 255 military personnel were being taken or were missing everyday for a year? That is what we face for America’s Missing, 102,000 Missing in our country on average daily. We think there would be WAR! There is but it is a silent - hidden one which needs to be brought forward in our great country and heard loud and clear – we will not put up with this heinous crime any longer. We ask you to step up to the plate and help any missing, abducted, exploited, trafficked or unidentified person you are aware of. You will find you will make a difference. Be the ordinary person, as we are, doing extra-ordinary things for those who need our help most!

We love Jennifer with all our heart and soul and will never give up on her. We want the person/people who have done this cowardly act to know, we will not stop until we find Jennifer. We will not stop until we find you! And we will not stop until we turn the tide on this most horrible violent crime.
Thank you all
The Kesse’s

-The Search For Jennifer Kesse –

It has been more than 3 years since Jennifer’s Abduction, we understand that many visitors to this website are looking for more information about what happened to our daughter, Jennifer, from the beginning. We are very grateful to the local and national media for all the coverage that has been provided for Jennifer and to our search efforts - they have done a tremendous job. We cannot say enough about the support of residents in the Orlando/ Central Florida area and the volunteers who have come from all parts of our state and country, including tourists visiting the area who have donated their time to assist with our search efforts and continue to help us keep awareness for Jennifer high. And also to the incredible group of law enforcement officers and staff working daily trying to find the answers which will bring Jennifer home, where she belongs for the good or the bad – Jennifer needs to come home and for no ones sake more than her own. The heinous crime of Abduction is something no one should ever experience.

As means of re-capping Jennifer’s abduction - Jennifer, was reported missing when she failed to show up for work at Central Florida Investments, on the morning of Tuesday January 24th, 2006 in Orlando Fl. after a long weekend in St. Croix with her boyfriend and other friends (they Flew both ways, there was no cruise as some people think). For those of us close to Jennifer, we knew something was wrong immediately. If she was going to be late for work or a meeting she would call. In fact Jennifer had good routines she and her boyfriend (who lives hours away in south Florida and Jennifer in Orlando) called each other everyday while driving to work in the morning and would speak with each other every night before going to bed, having a long distance relationship, seeing each other on weekends and Holidays. On Monday, the morning of 1/23/06, Jennifer left her boyfriends home in south Florida and drove directly to work in Ocoee Fl, not going home first but directly to her work as she usually did when she stayed the weekend in south Florida. On the night of Monday January 23rd, Jennifer left work at approx 6pm, walking out of the building, where she worked with her boss and wishing each other a good evening and will meet again in the morning. That evening, Jennifer talked to her Father, Mother, Brother and later with some friends and her boyfriend by phone as usual and that was the last anyone has seen or heard from Jennifer – Telephone call to her boyfriend at 9:57 pm 1/23/06 – Monday night.

Jennifer and her boyfriend did not talk the morning of Tuesday, January 24th. Her boyfriend called Jennifer at work and was told she had not arrived yet. When she did not show up for work, her employer immediately called us, her family, to see if we knew where Jennifer was, we tried to reach her at her condo and on her cell phone and computer but attempts were unsuccessful. Police were notified and the journey into Jennifer’s personal Hell began. Reaction was quick, within 2 hours of not being at work - her disappearance was known and being acted on by family and police. Upon reaching Jennifer’s condominium by mid afternoon, we found it normal. Everything was clan and in place. She had obviously slept in her bed, taken a shower (wet towel and shower) and had a couple outfits on the bed she was choosing to wear. Her tracks seem to cease from when she left her condo for work usually around 7:30-7:45am each work day. By 4 pm, family and friends of Jennifer had fliers made and being distributed within the immediate area of her condominium located at Mosaic at Millenia condominiums next to the Mall at Meillenia, Orlando, Fl. and awareness has not stopped since.

On Thursday 1/26/06 at high noon, police were notified that Jennifer's car was abandoned in a condominium complex 1.2 miles down the same road from where she lived in The Huntington on the Green Condominiums at the corner of Texas and Americana Ave in Orlando, Fl.. Her car was parked by a Suspect (on video) who pulled into a visitors parking space waited 32 seconds to exit her car and walked away, never looking back. Please see the video of the Suspect on this website. There is a reward of up to $10,000 for the identification and/or whereabouts of the Suspect. Tips may be called into the Family Tipline at 407-722-2162 or Orlando Police at 321-235-5300. There were valuables left in Jennifer’s car, so police do not feel it was for robbery or carjacking, but for Jennifer, herself. Bloodhounds tracked a scent from where her car was found back to her condo complex losing the scent on Jennifer’s condo property. Thousands of tips have and CONTINUE to come in for which we are thankful for.

Jennifer is a strong, fun loving, career minded, responsible young woman. If she was running late to work she would have called which is why we all became concerned immediately. At no time had Jennifer shown signs of discontent with her life, relationships or work environment, quite the opposite in fact.

Jennifer’s case, even 3 years old now remains ACTIVE!!!! Extremely ACTIVE!!! The Orlando Police Department and all other agencies involved have been extremely professional, keeping us posted on a regular basis with honest and open lines of communication. We know they are doing everything in their power to help bring Jennifer home and so are we.

Please keep Jennifer in your thoughts and visit this website for updates and pass it on often to all you know – Awareness will find Jennifer. Please think about everyone you know - if you believe someone you know or suspect someone you may know or might be involved, please call Crimeline, 1-800-423-TIPS(8477) ($15,000 reward for information leading to Jennifer’s whereabouts) immediately and share that information it may be nothing or it may be the missing piece of information that will help bring Jennifer home . Thank you for caring, keeping Jennifer in the forefront of your minds and please never give up on her, someone knows something.

November 24, 2008 - 34 months ago Jennifer's journey into hell began-a letter from Jenn's mom


Surreal, that word continues to summarize best, Jenn's abduction.
Despite the active, ongoing efforts of multiple law enforcement
agencies, we still are without answers.....as to what happened that
fateful Tuesday, January 24, 2006. HOPE - one of the most powerful
words in the English language. FAITH and BELIEVE are important words
also. DREAM - we dream of the day when Jenn's hell is over, when
answers are revealed. MIRACLES - we pray for Jenn's miracle, two words
come to mind, Shawn Hornbeck, abducted at age 11 from Missouri on
10/6/2002---found on January 12, 2007!!!! More and more people are
found alive, yes, we are aware of the statistics against the miracle.
Someone has to be that statistic that defies the odds.......and lord
knows we are praying Jenn will be found alive.

Life goes on.....albeit with heartache and pain.....living is a daily
chore, a decision you must make, for if you choose to be angry, bitter
and miserable you have allowed evil to win twice, and to destroy you.
So....push to live to be as happy and functional as you can. This is
the message for all of Jenn's friends, colleagues and family and sisters
:-), live and laugh and remember , always. Be safe and pay attention to
your surroundings.

I miss Jenn more than I can put into words, her laughter, her wit, her
smile, her quirky ways, having intellectual conversations on everything
and anything. I miss shopping with her, playing scrabble, walking on
the beach, shelling....being together. I miss hearing her stories and
our Friday conversations as we drove home from work. I miss baking with
her, especially during the holidays. I treasure all the wonderful
memories and times spent together.

Thank you to each and every person, who continues to visit Jenn's
website, your messages of encouragement warm the soul. The countless
prayers give us strength and help tremendously. Please remember to pray
for all the missing and for all the law enforcement personnel who work
hard daily in trying to find answers for a family in pain. Enjoy the
Thanksgiving holiday, and be thankful for those in your life whom you
love and care about.

Awareness remains key, so again, thank you for continuing to spread the
word, here and abroad via the internet. Someone knows something, we
just must not have reached the right person, but we will with your help.

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
-Mark Twain
