Jennifer Kesse Part 1

Jennifer Kesse Part 1

On January 24, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse vanished from Orlando, Florida, after what should have been an ordinary Tuesday morning. Jennifer was responsible, cautious, ambitious, and deeply connected to the people who loved her. She had just returned from vacation, gone back to work, spoken with her family and boyfriend, and appeared to be settling right back into the life she had carefully built for herself. Then, sometime between getting ready for work and arriving there, Jennifer disappeared. In Part 1 of our deep dive into Jennifer’s case, we take a closer look at the woman behind the headlines, the life she was building, the unsettling circumstances surrounding her condo complex, and the first alarming hours after her family realized something was terribly wrong.
