I just realised something REALLY WEIRD! This morning at school, I overheard someone talking about how her and her mom used to live in Orlando, closer to the sketchy area. She said one day, her mom was I think, looking out the window, and she witnessed someone being murdered and that's why they moved. I dont know if it has anything to do with this case, I doubt it does, but I just thought it was a really strange coincidence.
I just looked it up out of curiosity. Thorn was founded in 2009 it seems. Demi and Ashton split up in 2013. So even still, it's been around more years post divorce than pre. Props to them!
Apparently they’re not divorced. I just searched and on google it still says they’ve been married since 2015 and the rumors of them announcing their divorce arose a year ago and there hasn’t been any announcement of that since. Actually, a month ago in an interview, Mila states “I have the worlds greatest husband.”
So scary that a women who took so many precautions to stay safe and smart was still abducted and possibly harmed. I hope she can make it home to her family. SO frustrating.
idk i think she is alive in sex trafficking but as Kendall and experts have said, once you're in it they make you commit crimes so you can never come home. it's weird but I have a feeling she is still alive.
UPDATE: as of four days ago her parents released information that they’re “closer than ever” from solving her case after 15 years. God please be on their side. Give them the answers they needs.
@oceanblueharmony well we don’t know if she’s murdered. But people say it as “god be on their side and have the person be alive, justice given, etc”. Is comforting for some people
@oceanblueharmony why wouldn't you understand why someone would want god to help these poor grieving parents? This is an actual time to say that. Saying i hope god helps u find ur keys or something is stupid.
I wanna know why my iPhone camera is better than security cameras, they need to step up their game. The number of cases that could be helped by better security cameras is insane, it makes no sense not to update them.
At the store i work at we have had cops come look at video footage for crimes and the cops said our cameras are better than theirs....nd our cames arnt that good....so if that doesnt make u feel safe 😂
M P Not to mention that it would require an insane amount of space to have cameras that record in HD, 24/7. Perhaps someday we'll figure out how to make that work, but we aren't quite there yet.
This case scared me the most because it shows that this can happen to anyone, even to the people that are so cautious and all about safety. It’s sad and terrifying.
I remember watching the disappeared episode on this and her mom said “if evil wants you evil will get you” and thats the truest thing. Chills literally went down my spine.
@@shannonceleste5557 I agree, evil can be avoided. If Jennifer would've has a concealed carry handgun, and knew how to use it, she could've prevented this from happening to her. Also in the video it said she was very safety conscious, yet she was living in a unsafe environment. While I'm not blaming the victim for what happened, they are further steps a woman can take when alone to ensure their personal safety.
this is so sad, as she was so safe. I feel like I relate to her alot as I am also super careful about my safety and the thought of this happening terrifies me. I hope she is found :(
In my opinion it looks like a woman but a more muscular woman. I could also see a bun on the suspects head and if I remember correctly, man buns weren't the style back then in 2006. I agree with you though. There are tons of sketchy men and I just hope that they find her alive and well.
I've recently read an article saying that confident-looking people are more likely to be chasen than those sad/depressive/whatever-looking ones. Maybe it's just a made up nonsense, but maybe there's something about it.
The family's always say the victim is a great person, it's because the public is more likely to take interest if the victim was this pure, innocent amazing person. It's sad but that's the way people are.
I'm pretty sure they do. And that's probably the exact reason that no one thinks they do. The sad reality is if they were taken, no one would know because they're so to themselves and aren't really known by anyone else.
Could you make a video about the case of my friend Lindsey Baum? She went missing in 2009 and just recently her remains were identified and we need help getting the case out to find her killer.
I wanted to say that I helped volunteer looking for Jennifer. She lived a neighborhood down from me. I lived at The Grand Reserve on Kirkman/LB McLeod. Her parents came and spoke at First Baptist Orlando and it was all I could do but not break down and cry hearing them.They were so broken. I joined the team the next day. Anyway, Orlando police are horrible. I was robbed and shot at 3 times at gun point and the police questioned me like I was in some kind of drug ring or something.I was on my way to dance rehearsals. Literally in dance wear and a high bun. (not typical drug pusher clothes, ya know?) They never found the guy who pulled the gun on me and they hardly even tried! Be careful in Orlando. I lived there and worked at Disney for over a decade and I have seen and heard the most crazy stuff. Orlando news is like watching a circus in hell.
I know right!? There was such a calm over me I was able to talk to the guy during the altercation. The first shot would have been right to my face if I had not thrown my keys and stomped his shin in. Second shot would have been to my shoulder area if the guy with me didn't push the gun away at the right moment. Last shot was the guy shooting into the air. So technically not all were direct. But the first 2 were within half an arms length away from me. He had a little 22. and held it sideways. I instantly started fighting him cause I knew he was not an avid gun handler from the way he held the gun. Only the power of God got me out of that alive.
@Pufflehuff . Draco the word “story” doesn’t mean fictional. OP was just commenting that Kendall shares information in a compelling way to her audience
Agreed. Obsessed with her . She’s genuine, open minded, intelligent , funny , and has a great heart. I really love her videos & so happy I came across her, ive also have been binge watching her for two weeks!
I now put one of her videos (one I've watched already of course) on to fall asleep too. Her voice is so calm and relaxing. It's also good sound quality..there's never any jumps in her voice 🙃
I was born and raised in the Orlando area and I remember seeing the "missing" posters with her face on it all over town for years ever since I was young. Anyone from Orlando would recognize her face from all the pictures they hung up. The sad part was growing up and watching the posters age and fade over time because she was never found. I never knew she went to the same university that I go to now, and that makes it even crazier how close I am to such a tragic case. Hopefully we'll find out more information one day and possibly get some answers.
theres literally a show called "Swamp Murders". its crazy how many bodies get placed in lakes/swamps/rivers and its kinda scary to think about how there could be bodies at the bottom and we just havent discovered them
But honestly, it's Florida. There's water, swamp, and alligators everywhere. She probably really was eaten by gators. I mean, it was a heartless comment but it's not out of left field or anything.
Sadly, having a set routine are kind of dangerous when someone could possibly be stalking you or planning to kidnap or attack you. I pray she is found 😔💕
i live in orlando and used to walk by her posters on my walk to school. the posters fade sometimes but someone always comes by and replaces it. i still get chills thinking about this case. i grew up always wondering where she is and when she will be found.
I grew up in Fl an her pictures have been up since I was 5, and they’re still up, I never knew what happened to her because I was too young. But I will always have her image in my head.
I’m from the Tampa Bay Area and went to the university of central Florida and my mom made me watch that same news segment before I left for college. In my junior year of school I was shopping at the Publix near ucf late and night and noticed 2 men following me around the store, I called my mom and stayed on the phone with her while my dad called the police. The men left once I found a manager to stay with so I’d be safe, but the police said that there was a major trafficking ring in Orlando that would target young women who were by themselves late at night. Because of her story I always would call my parents when I was walking to my car or apartment alone late at night. I would’ve never done that or had been as aware of my surroundings if it wasn’t for Jennifer and her parents.
To all of those commenting that they could swear they’ve seen here but think it is highly unlikely she would’ve ended up there please I urge you to still send the tip in.. you never know that could be what brings her home .. No matter how insignificant your information might seem to you, it just might be the missing piece needed.
I lived in Florida for 16 years and when I was young I was outside walking the dog by myself right by my grandmother's house and a car pulled up to the side of the road and a guy gets out and starts coming towards me so i ran and he ran after me following me all the way to my grandmother's back porch, once I got in the door and started banging on the glass door to get in the actual house he turned around and ran and got back in his car and sped off. Florida isn't playing around.
I was almost sex trafficked by a guy and two women while on vacation in Tampa Bay Area just a few years ago in 2019. I reported it and the police told me it happens all the time there bc of how easy it is for sex traffickers to sneak people away from the coast. We’ve been back a few times and will be going back this summer but it 100% changed the way I live, even on vacation.
I wonder if any of the videos Kendall makes ever solved a case? whether or not one thing is for certain she is helping It’s great knowing if I ever went missing there is people like Kendall that care..it’s hard to find someone like that especially nowadays some cops don’t even care💓
I live near Tampa/Orlando and it's a HUGE human trafficking area. We learned at school that it's one of the top three areas in the entire United States because of the bay and ships so it's highly likely that she could have ended up in that situation
@@NakitaCherie I live near Brandon too and I was shocked to learn how bad it is here! Definitely makes me not want to leave my house ever. I heard that this one restaurant got closed down because it was a front for human trafficking :/
I’m late. Fingerprints/evidence can’t survive in extreme temperatures. Florida is hot - the car sitting in the sun for days would ruin the evidence. However, if the car would have been kept in a garage or something, DNA could be recovered
Kendall I missed you so much ! I hope all is going well with your health, take all the time you need we all completely understand ❤️ love you so much 💗💗
The ending song and photos always makes me want to cry. It’s always upsetting whenever anyone goes missing. I hope that they get found someday or that the family gets closure and finds out what happened.
I find it scary because there are so many enablers out there, especially in law enforcement. So many either look away or ridicule victims. Indifference is the biggest enabler. Killers etc wouldn't stand a chance if communities stepped up and protected each other. That genius first cop especially in this case...I bet he was elected cop of the year...🙄🤦🏻♀️
This is insane. My fiance lived by the Millenia Mall, and when I saw those condos I always wanted to live there. The condos that her car was found at are super dark. My fiance lived right down the street from there. The area is super scary and dangerous. When my fiance and I were just dating, and I went to his condo I wasn't allowed outside by myself, and if I drove to his place at night, I had to wait for him to walk me from the car to the home. I remember growing up seeing her posters all over the place cause I live in the suburbs of Orlando. I remember watching her missing posters fall apart over the years and always hoped that she would be found cause I thought she had a nice smile. I am so sad to rediscover this case and find out that a lot of amazing memories of mine are in the same area as possibly someones last terrifying memories. She needs to be found. I know in the area as well there is many lakes, rivers, and thick brush. There is also an insane amount of drug dealers, druggies, and homeless people...this makes me so sad.
Just an update, I asked my fiance about this, and he says he remembers her face. He remembered that she went missing from those condos and that she just looks so familiar to him. Apparently a lot of people in the area believe she is dead and buried somewhere locally. I hope this isn't the case...
I live in the “ghetto” no cameras, no gates and no one has been taken from my neighborhood. But that might be because there is *always* someone outside chillin’ and watching shit lol. So there never seems to be an opportunity for someone to be taken.
I grew up in the ghetto too and it’s true lol people rarely get taken because everyone is always on their balconies or watching shit around the neighborhood lol I went into a strangers home once and my mom knew before I got home 😅
It's Florida....we all drive like sh*t. lol Also most men here hit on their co-workers. The comment he made about her being eaten be alligators is what is most suspicious to me.
Melissa Nicole WE DO ALL DRIVE LIKE SHIT, SO TRUE. But every time someone cuts us off it’s always “WHERE IS THIS GUY FROM LEARN HOW TO DRIVE BUDDY” Fun fact: Orlando has been named the city with the most dangerous stretch of Highway and the worst drivers 🤘🏼😅
Can you cover the case of Elizabeth soaf? She was taken and kept in a bunker but I think no one has covered this case in depth like you do . I think it will be a good case to cover!!!
I know this is pretty late, but I just got to the point in the video where you mention if you feel uncomfortable to call someone. I just wanted to say that it may also be a good idea to pretend like the person is coming to get you and mention exactly where you are. ("Oh, you're that close to me already? Great!") The person on the line will probably catch on and the person making you uncomfortable will probably get uncomfortable themselves if they're up to no good. I actually did this once and a man who was following me got so freaked out that he ran in the other direction.
I lived in Orlando right in the same are Jennifer lived when she went missing... the flyers were everywhere... they are STILL around the area. I hope they find her or at least come to know what happend so her family can heal. This is so sad.
I’m from Orlando and my whole childhood I remember this girls missing posters being blasted EVERYWHERE every store every street and they are still there to this day untouched
Kendall literally has the most beautiful hair and skin. She always looks flawless and gorgeous, makeup always on point. I appreciate the level of detail on every video she does and her story telling abilities. Always killing it in every video.
I knowwwww. Normally vids like these I'll have playing in the background, but watching her talk is enough. Its the perfect amount of comfort when it comes to sad/scary cases
Quick Tip: . . . If you ever are walking alone at night and decided to call someone on the phone for safety while you are walking, make sure to stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Its easy to get involved in the conversation and not be AS alert to your surroundings
Well, yes, very good advice and same as when women are walking to their cars in a parking lot...day or night...stay alert of your surroundings. I don't believe the killer who stalked women at the Boca Raton, Fl. shopping mall parking lot has been caught. He would strike women in broad daylight as they were getting into their vehicles and one woman and her daughter were shot & killed. Parking lots can be a predator's playground. (Ask for a store escort to your car if you are nervous and especially at night if you're alone).
THANK YOU! So many people talking about making calls and that's all great but attackers prey on women who are distracted or may have headphones/Bluetooth in
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 my parents would often ask me to call them when I had to walk somewhere alone at night but they wouldn't engaged me in deep conversation. Sometimes wouldn't even actually talk but just hang on the line so I had someone there if I needed them.
I stopped doing that, after somebody managed to sneak behind me while I was on the phone and whispered into my ear 'Ow you are lying". I just ran and ran.. That happened late at night but right beside my house and of course it was a prank from one of my neighbours, but I cannot forget that and it still gives me the creeps. For sure a lesson learned! For life!
Another tragic story, I hope Jennifer’s family get some sort of closure, more specifically a happy one. It’s such a shame bad things happen to such good and loving people.
These videos will now poke at a soft spot for me. In two days it will be a month that one of my coworkers have been missing. There are no leads. No clues or evidence. No nothing. But I am still holding out hope. I am worried sick but also holding faith that they will be found safe. 💔
ViviannaReynoso James Kerscher is his name. We live in Cincinnati, OH but more specifically he went missing in a little town called Reading which is also where he lived. He's an older adult and he has Aspergers. He went missing last month on Friday the 13th.
I DONT UNDERSTAND how you don’t have a Netflix series about true crimes, missing person, and murder cases. You are truly talented, dedicated, inquisitive, and unbiased. Your content is amazing and I’m so thankful that I found you based on ilovesarahii’s recommendation
This is one of the most confusing cases you've covered so far Kendall! I feel so bad for this girl and her family. praying for them. ps. i like your little moon shaped container thing for your crystals in the background
Thank you for telling people to call someone while you're alone, especially walking alone. Always let someone know where you are and what you're doing. Good safety tip!
Hey!! New evidence really?? I follow the case constantly. I’m from ocoee and I’m living in Tampa now and I swear not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I grew up with flyers plastered all over my town. My mom and I talked about it a lot growing up. My jaw dropped when Kendall first posted this video a couple years ago bc it was a case so close to home.
Newly released images in a cold case involving a 24-year-old Florida business executive, who vanished in 2006, may indicate that a violent struggle unfolded before her disappearance, according to the woman’s family. Few clues were discovered when Jennifer Kesse disappeared almost 15 years ago, but her father now says that new images of her abandoned Chevrolet Malibu indicate that she may have been attacked before going missing. "It looked like someone was thrown down on the top of the hood - arms spread out and then dragged back, almost like off the hood, to the point where you can almost see fingers scribbling down the hood," Drew Kesse told Fox News. Article from the 13th of November 2020
Ahhh I have been waiting for this especially living in Orlando Fl, I moved to Orlando a week before this happened and I still get so baffled that the camera footage that was released is still frame so you can’t see anything 😩
Selene N I would say just always be aware of your surroundings of course and for me at the beginning I was always a bit scared so I bought one of those security alarms where you just stick it to the doors and windows and it makes a sound whenever it’s opened or you can set it to where you hear an actual alarm. Aside from that, don’t be scared I know at times it can be nerve wracking but I loved living on my own!! 🤗
this isn't fair. this just isn't fair. idk why but as soon as I've seen her photo I felt connected to her and crying because she isn't in her mothers arms...what fu**ing world do we live in?
I met someone from her family @ the hospital I worked at in Jax, FL. They were still looking a couple years later and gave me a card with her picture that just stayed with me to this day. Such a beautiful woman.
Why are security cameras so crappy? I mean older cases I can excuse but in the year of our lord 2019 we still have such crappy security cameras... I mean I understand the lower quality makes it so we can store more image but still... cameras should be better at this point.
She is so so beautiful and sounds so sweet and genuine, which is also how her family comes off. So sad, glad they are putting pressure on the OPD and hopefully getting closer to some answers now that there is more emphasis on it! I remember watching a video on this case awhile ago but you covered it in a different way that made it not repetitive at all to hear about again, good on you. Hope she is found safe somewhere! So odd that there's such little evidence, agh so frustrating! So sad that she was so safety conscious and did so many smart things to protect herself but something still happened to her!
So I was living in the houses right across from Jennifer she this happened and remember this like it was yesterday. 1st of all, where we were is the brink of ghetto and upscale- literally the grey line. Facing the apartment complex, to her right is Americana Blvd, obt, it's all scetchy there. To her left was millennia mall and other malls as well as a large shopping strip. That all being said, there was no bar there unless youean blue martini at the millennia mall. The place her car was located is super sketchy. I usually stayed away from that whole area. Like you said, majority of people, even I'm that area, believe she was taken for human trafficking. That's the only thing that makes sense in all of this. Around the same time (2-3 yes later) I was walking home from the millennia area and this car full of girls stopped out of nowhere and asked me if I wanted a ride. I said no but the insisted. This happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER APARTMENT COMPLEX. I told them no again since I lived right there. I lived on the first turn once you turn into the neighborhood, so when I got a gut feeling to run, I jumped my neighbors gate (right in front of them) and headed home as fast as possible. Thanks for making a video on this and getting a good amount of the facts right. I watched a video recently about Jennifer by someone else and they put the blame on Hispanics that didn't speak English in the area, I obviously got offended. But that's beside the point. Thanks for the video.
Why were you offended by the comment it was Hispanics? The construction workers on her complex were mainly Hispanics (illegal at that) and Jennifer had told her parents she felt uncomfortable around them because they would leer at her and make comments. So why get offended? There's a good chance that Hispanic construction workers were involved; it's easy to see why Hispanics could be involved. Read the comment somewhere above by 'The Hob Family'. Someone who is Hispanic who tells it like it is.
I’d agree except that there are sooooooo many places to hide a deceased person in FL, especially in Orlando. Lakes, ponds, bogs, forested areas, landfills, conservation areas, quarries - then the huge RE boom - she could have been hidden in construction, especially in the early 2000s in FL. Not that I’ve hidden a body,.... but my state has a lot of hiding places. Poor Kesse family .... they have taken hold of all the police files now and are working the case. I pray for them.
Katarina Smith It’s offensive because regardless of if it’s true, it *still* perpetuates awful stereotypes, and, assuming that illegal immigrants from various countries have to be hispanic is also offensive.
I absolutely love your videos!!! Please do the story of the girl in the box. It’s a survival story of a girl who was trying to hitchhike and got picked up by a couple and was forced into slavery for 7 years! She was kept in a coffin like box for the majority of the time and was rapped repeatedly by the husband. She was brainwashed into believing this organization was going to kill her and her family if she left. She even went home once and the husband was there posing as her boyfriend but she was still in captivity. Finally years later the wife realized this was wrong and told her it was all a lie and she left with her two kids and the girl. He was put in jail and the wife was given amnesty.
Florida has a huge trafficking problem and I'm glad you mentioned the sketchy area around that mall. Tourists don't realize the crime rates in that part of Orlando.
The co worker could have been speeding to work so they wouldn’t suspect him. But it’s also strange that her ex boyfriend was at the bar by her place that night. I think the ex boyfriend should be re examined. I mean there was no signs of a struggle. Her mace was on the counter. With the construction going on it seemed as if she was very cautious and wouldn’t answer the door for a stranger. I think maybe the ex. Its so sad. I truly hate how easy it is for people to disappear today. Especially with our technology today. They need amber alert 🚨 for adults.
I live in central Orlando and just today drove past one of those missing flyers for Jennifer. Can't believe it's been over ten years and this happened in my home town. Devastating
How many times have I heard Kendall say in one of her videos, " the family hired a private investigator" like seriously that should never have to happen. Isn't that why we have the FBI?
Thank you so much for this case! I am a member of the same sorority Jennifer was in, Alpha Delta Pi. This case hits close to home so it’s nice to see her story being shared! I never knew her but being an ADPi myself, it’s good to know that her case is still being talked about. You’re awesome, Kendall!
Kendall is right, please call SOMEONE, ANYONE when you are walking alone at night especially but even in the day. Calling people, even my 12 year old sister, has stopped men from harassing me and that alone can be scary. Please, try to call anyone. It really can be a deterrent at the very least and a witness if anything else happens.
The brother’s mysterious friend might have done it. Remember he “accidentally” left his work phone in her condo. Perhaps he planted it there on purpose and then abducted her sometime after she returned. The phone was missing from the condo and she had not yet mailed it. Someone was knocking on the door right before she went missing. Whoever this was is obviously the perpetrator.
I've always felt the same way about this. Which would also make sense as to why she may have let someone in after her shower..she would have probably figured that he was "safe." Hopefully he was thoroughly checked!
I think this theory is the one. No matter how safe you think you are and the people around you; evil wears a charming face. Construction workers, most being undocumented, makes sense left do to fear of deportation overall. The coworker, while my second suspect, had an alibi even if we do not know his whereabouts before the ticket. The ex, it's a small world, people have bar preferences, while coincidental, not far fetched he happened to just drink nearby. Your theory, stands out to me and one I had not thought till rewatching.
@@ggemini613 I like your thinking but the coworker did say the whole “she’s probably eaten by gators by now” (sorry if I misspelled it) and he could of been racing to get to work so he would have that alibi that he got a speeding ticket
I owe my mom an apology for being a bratty teenager, always saying she worries about me too much. After watching this content and being a bit older and wiser now, I just want to give my poor mom a hug! I can't imagine what this woman's family is going through. I pray they find answers. No one deserves to live like that.
It was definitely the obsessed coworker. First of all, you don’t say that about someone you’re in love with when you find out they’re missing (unless you know something more). Secondly, he got a speeding ticket, probably because he was doing something with her and/or he needed an alibi.
I just discovered your channel...love it! So glad you covered this case, it has baffled me for years. I actually lived at that complex Mosaic at Millennia from 2009-2012. You could still see her flyer occasionally on posts around town. Very eerie. Also the security gate never worked. Most of the time the arm that comes down was broken off, a lot of the time there was no one on duty at the little guard house, so if I forgot my card there was no one to help. I hope it's gotten fixed since then but the security there always left me a little uneasy.
The first time I trip to U.S. I went to Sarasota Fla and a friend of mine took me to a local farmers market. She started to talk to a man who sold sheets at his spot, but my english was very poor at the time, however, I catch that something very bad happened to his daughter and her name was Jennifer Kessee. He told us that his family lost a lot of money on searching for her and the Russian mafia was involved. When I got back to Italy, I stopped at the Paris airport and I put there the fliers, to help find Jennifer. I like your video and I watch it everiday. Sei brava, ciao!!
hi kendall! i love your videos so much and i think it’s great that you’re raising awareness for all types of things! i’ve been a fan for a long time but i’m saying this now because this is one of the times i’m early to a video. unfortunately my schedules don’t allow me to watch your videos right away, but i write this in hopes that you see it. love you! ❤️❤️
Man, I really struggle with the constant theories of human trafficking in these cases. While trafficking is a huge problem in our country, it is VERY rarely of a random, well educated, mentally sound white girl who was abducted. These girls have the resources and agency to get themselves out of those situations too easily - they will be looked for and recognized - this isn't what traffickers want. They target people who are vulnerable - immigrants, addicts, mentally ill, etc. victims. They take advantage of the most vulnerable people in the worst way, and while it is a huge problem (again), I cringe every time I hear anyone speculate about it in these types of cases. Maybe its just optimism that they are alive..?
While what you are saying is true, so is random abduction for trafficking. It is more popular than you think. And entirely possible, in every missing person case, that trafficking could be involved
She could be the victim of foul play. However, a blonde, white woman would go for a hundred thousand dollars on the human trafficking market. Chances are we will never know.
I remember this. I was still in college--in Orlando--when this happened. I even remember when they built those condos near Millenia, because I lived down the road with my parents--in fact I remember when the Millenia Mall was built. I still live in the area (about 40 minute car ride away) and you can still find her missing posters once in a while, mostly around that area. Every time I see them I get a little sad for her parents who are probably still putting posters up after more than a decade. I guess as a parent you just never give up hope, even if at this point just to know what happened to her so they can have some semblance of closure.
For real, I go to UCF you'd think they'd have something to spread awareness or remember her by. I actually use to hang out in that area where she lived and had no idea.
probably because UCF is in east Orlando and this case was in the millennia area on the west side of Orlando. Its like 2 different sides of the world to locals lol
my best friend calls me all the time if she’s trying to just avoid conversation with random people lol or especially if she’s walking at night or something.
When I go out anywhere without my husband I like to send him texts letting him know every time I get to a new store/location, or a new street when I'm walking, when I'm on and off the bus if I take a bus, when I'm on my way home, etc. That way there is a written record of exactly where I was and at what time, in case anything ever happens. Even as a kid my mom made me call every time I left one location to go to another when I went out with friends. I guess maybe that's why I have this habit with my husband now. Also we've lived in rental homes for a while and if maintenence people or whoever have to come in when he's not home I always text to let him know when they are here and when they leave. Just makes me feel safer.
That song at the end really got to me 😢 I hope she is found soon. I can’t imagine the hell her family must be going through not knowing where their sweetheart is 😔
Hi! im from Spain and I think you should look into the case of Marta del Castillo. It is the most famous case in spain. It has been going on for around a decade. She still hasn't been found...
Re watching, thinking about Jennifer’s story a lot this week. If I’m not mistaken the parents said the individual who dumped Jennifer’s car did not match anyone they were familiar with. That would likely rule out the boyfriend and the ex boyfriend. Unless they hired someone to dump the car. Assuming that the perpetrator and the person who was captured leaving the car are one in the same this means it’s someone her parents never met. So a stranger or her coworker most likely. However to me the person dropping the car looks like a Latin/Hispanic male,with dark hair slicked back a small ponytail and wearing perhaps painter or construction attire. Also when I views the surveillance footage it appears they are walking almost in their tip toes. Possibly a foot injury or maybe they were a little paranoid about possible fill prints being picked up. Most of the time when someone moves a vehicle like this its to throw people off and buy time. The car was captured at noon being dropped. Her family and co workers said she left like clock work at 7:30 or 8 am each morning. This gives the perpetrator possibly 4 1/2 hrs from the time we believed Jennifer was abducted to the car being dropped. Not the longest time frame in a case. Especially once we consider that no prints,signs of forced entry or foul play were found inside the apartment nor her car. Really would appear as if she was abducted outside of her apartment and forced into another vehicle of some sort. The person or persons like took her keys and moved the vehicle after she was taken. I believe it was more than one person. If she was forced to her car there was a vehicle standing close by and she was transferred into that. There is no way all evidence could have been removed if she was harmed in her vehicle. POI dropping the car was only inside around 30/40 down odd seconds before getting out and walking away. That’s not enough time to clean up a crime scene. The police don’t believe the car was driven far. I believe it really was just driven complex to complex. As far as we know it wasn’t seen anywhere else beforehand. I really pray her case is solved and that people keep seeing her face and talking about her. It’s been maybe 13 years or something like that and she and her family deserve justice. She could still even be alive. Stranger things have happened. Let’s not lose hope.
It looks like a black guy to me. And I think someone forced her into their car, killed her in their car, then moved her car, and disposed of her later but since they have no clue they'd have nobody to check out. Definitely construction clothes.
ATTENTION CREATIVE SOULS!
Are you a graphic designer or know someone willing to share their talent for Thorn?! 100% of what is earned from the design goes to Thorn :)
SUBMIT A DESIGN HERE: goo.gl/forms/phqdAeGVOmXS2Akr2
Kendall Rae I wish I was an artist because I would totally send in an awesome design to help out, ilysm
Ooooo gonna have to submit something!!! I make art my self I’m curious to see what I could do! Love ya Kendall!
I just realised something REALLY WEIRD!
This morning at school, I overheard someone talking about how her and her mom used to live in Orlando, closer to the sketchy area. She said one day, her mom was I think, looking out the window, and she witnessed someone being murdered and that's why they moved.
I dont know if it has anything to do with this case, I doubt it does, but I just thought it was a really strange coincidence.
I have a really great idea for a design, however I don’t know how to create it, if anyone can create designs but needs an idea, maybe we can collab ☺️
Meghan Fain :o I am so up for that let me know what you have in mind and maybe we could work something out ^w^
I love that even though they’re divorced, they still keep up Thorn! So important.
Agreed! im not sure about this but i think they actually founded it together post divorce
Kendall Rae OMG KENDALL REPLIED UR SO LUCKY OMG
Kinzie Del Favero chill..
I just looked it up out of curiosity. Thorn was founded in 2009 it seems. Demi and Ashton split up in 2013. So even still, it's been around more years post divorce than pre. Props to them!
Apparently they’re not divorced. I just searched and on google it still says they’ve been married since 2015 and the rumors of them announcing their divorce arose a year ago and there hasn’t been any announcement of that since. Actually, a month ago in an interview, Mila states “I have the worlds greatest husband.”
So scary that a women who took so many precautions to stay safe and smart was still abducted and possibly harmed. I hope she can make it home to her family. SO frustrating.
Sophia Rodriguez Maybe you can attract what you fear most. You think about it so much it becomes reality. The universe works in mysterious ways.
Desiree Stokes damn that sounds so real. That's a scary thought.
No it just goes to show no matter what you do to be safe there will always be evil around looking for someone to prey on..the devil is always looking
Desiree Stokes That's what I was going to say. If you're constantly thinking about something, you will create it.
idk i think she is alive in sex trafficking but as Kendall and experts have said, once you're in it they make you commit crimes so you can never come home. it's weird but I have a feeling she is still alive.
UPDATE: as of four days ago her parents released information that they’re “closer than ever” from solving her case after 15 years. God please be on their side. Give them the answers they needs.
Please up-date
is there any more updates?
@oceanblueharmony well we don’t know if she’s murdered. But people say it as “god be on their side and have the person be alive, justice given, etc”. Is comforting for some people
@oceanblueharmony why wouldn't you understand why someone would want god to help these poor grieving parents? This is an actual time to say that. Saying i hope god helps u find ur keys or something is stupid.
thanks please keep us updated!
I wanna know why my iPhone camera is better than security cameras, they need to step up their game. The number of cases that could be helped by better security cameras is insane, it makes no sense not to update them.
M P they’re from 2006, so security cameras weren’t good quality
yeaaa this was in 06 cctv were still shitty back then
At the store i work at we have had cops come look at video footage for crimes and the cops said our cameras are better than theirs....nd our cames arnt that good....so if that doesnt make u feel safe 😂
Yeah This Was In 2006 But Till This Day Security Cameras Are Still Ass
M P Not to mention that it would require an insane amount of space to have cameras that record in HD, 24/7. Perhaps someday we'll figure out how to make that work, but we aren't quite there yet.
This case scared me the most because it shows that this can happen to anyone, even to the people that are so cautious and all about safety. It’s sad and terrifying.
Oh my god yeah
Create The Culture IKR! I was gonna comment something very similar!!
Create The Culture exactly, i dont even think ill be able to live on my own one day.....
Yeah its sad that things like this happen
eloise royer Dont be scared! I have lived alone since I was 18, im now 21! Im cautious to but dont let these fuckers scare you.
I remember watching the disappeared episode on this and her mom said “if evil wants you evil will get you” and thats the truest thing. Chills literally went down my spine.
Sadly, in this world, it's true. I think of that often.
I have mixed feelings on that statement tbh. It kind of takes away people’s agency over themselves. Idk
@@shannonceleste5557 I agree, evil can be avoided. If Jennifer would've has a concealed carry handgun, and knew how to use it, she could've prevented this from happening to her. Also in the video it said she was very safety conscious, yet she was living in a unsafe environment. While I'm not blaming the victim for what happened, they are further steps a woman can take when alone to ensure their personal safety.
@@kevinmalone3210 Nice theory, but not true.
Evil isn’t omnipotent, but if people give in to it, yes, it will win.
this is so sad, as she was so safe. I feel like I relate to her alot as I am also super careful about my safety and the thought of this happening terrifies me. I hope she is found :(
footage looks like a man...but there's so many sketchy dudes in this story, so frustrating.
I dont get it,if police even check the car,i mean took fingerprints??who was driving the car definitely left some fingerprints there
i wonder if any of the men match the description of the person
Monika M. Construction worker
In my opinion it looks like a woman but a more muscular woman. I could also see a bun on the suspects head and if I remember correctly, man buns weren't the style back then in 2006. I agree with you though. There are tons of sketchy men and I just hope that they find her alive and well.
What if that was Jennifer with her hair dyed brown or probably still is blonde just look brown because of the camera
every person that goes missing is always a “good person” that everyone likes. does anyone who isnt very social go missing ?
I know I always wonder that too!!!
I've recently read an article saying that confident-looking people are more likely to be chasen than those sad/depressive/whatever-looking ones. Maybe it's just a made up nonsense, but maybe there's something about it.
The family's always say the victim is a great person, it's because the public is more likely to take interest if the victim was this pure, innocent amazing person. It's sad but that's the way people are.
I'm pretty sure they do. And that's probably the exact reason that no one thinks they do. The sad reality is if they were taken, no one would know because they're so to themselves and aren't really known by anyone else.
Yeah but even if they wasnt a "good" person who is gonna say something negative like that about someone they love.
Could you make a video about the case of my friend Lindsey Baum? She went missing in 2009 and just recently her remains were identified and we need help getting the case out to find her killer.
Makayla Ashlock oh wow that’s terrible I hope she makes a video and I hope the killer/Killers
You have to send her an email, her email info is in the description
Mak I’m so sorry
Watch Eleanor neale she made a video on it
Eleanor Neale covered her case
I wanted to say that I helped volunteer looking for Jennifer. She lived a neighborhood down from me. I lived at The Grand Reserve on Kirkman/LB McLeod. Her parents came and spoke at First Baptist Orlando and it was all I could do but not break down and cry hearing them.They were so broken. I joined the team the next day. Anyway, Orlando police are horrible. I was robbed and shot at 3 times at gun point and the police questioned me like I was in some kind of drug ring or something.I was on my way to dance rehearsals. Literally in dance wear and a high bun. (not typical drug pusher clothes, ya know?) They never found the guy who pulled the gun on me and they hardly even tried! Be careful in Orlando. I lived there and worked at Disney for over a decade and I have seen and heard the most crazy stuff. Orlando news is like watching a circus in hell.
Leigh Anne Thomas ,. Wtf you got shot 3 times and lived? Bad aim
I know right!? There was such a calm over me I was able to talk to the guy during the altercation. The first shot would have been right to my face if I had not thrown my keys and stomped his shin in. Second shot would have been to my shoulder area if the guy with me didn't push the gun away at the right moment. Last shot was the guy shooting into the air. So technically not all were direct. But the first 2 were within half an arms length away from me. He had a little 22. and held it sideways. I instantly started fighting him cause I knew he was not an avid gun handler from the way he held the gun. Only the power of God got me out of that alive.
Leigh Anne Thomas god bless you for surviving that must have been terrifying for you 😱
God protected me, no doubt. Thanks friend. xoxox
I hope you can eventually move :(
IVE BEEN BINGE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS. YOU’RE SUCH A GREAT STORY TELLER. DO NOT STOP!
not a story. This is real, this actually happened
@Pufflehuff . Draco the word “story” doesn’t mean fictional. OP was just commenting that Kendall shares information in a compelling way to her audience
Agreed. Obsessed with her . She’s genuine, open minded, intelligent , funny , and has a great heart. I really love her videos & so happy I came across her, ive also have been binge watching her for two weeks!
Same!!!!! 🙋♀️
I now put one of her videos (one I've watched already of course) on to fall asleep too. Her voice is so calm and relaxing. It's also good sound quality..there's never any jumps in her voice 🙃
I was born and raised in the Orlando area and I remember seeing the "missing" posters with her face on it all over town for years ever since I was young. Anyone from Orlando would recognize her face from all the pictures they hung up. The sad part was growing up and watching the posters age and fade over time because she was never found. I never knew she went to the same university that I go to now, and that makes it even crazier how close I am to such a tragic case. Hopefully we'll find out more information one day and possibly get some answers.
These are the only long videos i can fully watch with my ADHD
Alahna Mccleave Same here! 😀
Shes so good aye!
It’s something about how she tells stories! I STRUGGLE to listen to others
SAME
Same 😭💯
When that person said "she probably has already got eaten by gators" that gave me a thought like someone murdered her. Then dumped her body in a lake.
Yes... I think he did it.
Oof! Wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what happened. Murdered her then cover his tracks by letting the alligators have at her.
theres literally a show called "Swamp Murders". its crazy how many bodies get placed in lakes/swamps/rivers and its kinda scary to think about how there could be bodies at the bottom and we just havent discovered them
But honestly, it's Florida. There's water, swamp, and alligators everywhere. She probably really was eaten by gators. I mean, it was a heartless comment but it's not out of left field or anything.
Glad this series is back, and I hope that these videos continue to spread the word and help the victim’s families!
Can you do the video FOUND:Jacob Wetterling he was an 11 year old boy who was abducted and it went unsolved for 27 years
I was hoping she would! that happened not too far from me.
yess Lovelyti made a video on that very sad story
Apparently Jacobs case has been solved.
yes!! that happened very close to where i live
Kayla Roberts it has but it wasn’t for 27 years
Sadly, having a set routine are kind of dangerous when someone could possibly be stalking you or planning to kidnap or attack you. I pray she is found 😔💕
*Kendall posts a video*
Me: "studying for finals can *wait* "
Chloe homework due in 2 hours? Ehhh, it can wait. Gotta watch this video.
Literally me right now and i'm having chem exam in like 3 more hours
Me toooo
Same
Lmao I'm supposed to be catching up on school work 😂
i live in orlando and used to walk by her posters on my walk to school. the posters fade sometimes but someone always comes by and replaces it. i still get chills thinking about this case. i grew up always wondering where she is and when she will be found.
I grew up in Fl an her pictures have been up since I was 5, and they’re still up, I never knew what happened to her because I was too young. But I will always have her image in my head.
the ending song "where'd you go" made me tear up so much. God bless the family and friends that are enduring such an anxious and depressing situation.
I’m from the Tampa Bay Area and went to the university of central Florida and my mom made me watch that same news segment before I left for college. In my junior year of school I was shopping at the Publix near ucf late and night and noticed 2 men following me around the store, I called my mom and stayed on the phone with her while my dad called the police. The men left once I found a manager to stay with so I’d be safe, but the police said that there was a major trafficking ring in Orlando that would target young women who were by themselves late at night. Because of her story I always would call my parents when I was walking to my car or apartment alone late at night. I would’ve never done that or had been as aware of my surroundings if it wasn’t for Jennifer and her parents.
Holy crap that is so scary
I love the way you talk about people.. almost like you knew them & they were your friend
To all of those commenting that they could swear they’ve seen here but think it is highly unlikely she would’ve ended up there please I urge you to still send the tip in.. you never know that could be what brings her home .. No matter how insignificant your information might seem to you, it just might be the missing piece needed.
mary ann this is super random but you’re so pretty! ❤️
I lived in Florida for 16 years and when I was young I was outside walking the dog by myself right by my grandmother's house and a car pulled up to the side of the road and a guy gets out and starts coming towards me so i ran and he ran after me following me all the way to my grandmother's back porch, once I got in the door and started banging on the glass door to get in the actual house he turned around and ran and got back in his car and sped off. Florida isn't playing around.
😱😱😱
oooh noooo😬
Florida is a trafficking hub
😱 my goodness!! How blessed you are to have gotten away!!!
I was almost sex trafficked by a guy and two women while on vacation in Tampa Bay Area just a few years ago in 2019. I reported it and the police told me it happens all the time there bc of how easy it is for sex traffickers to sneak people away from the coast.
We’ve been back a few times and will be going back this summer but it 100% changed the way I live, even on vacation.
I wonder if any of the videos Kendall makes ever solved a case? whether or not one thing is for certain she is helping
It’s great knowing if I ever went missing there is people like Kendall that care..it’s hard to find someone like that especially nowadays some cops don’t even care💓
In the Bruno Borges case, he came back home, but in my opinion that was just a big fat hoax he's trash, the police should sue him and his family
Hopefully the alissa turney case will soon.
I live near Tampa/Orlando and it's a HUGE human trafficking area. We learned at school that it's one of the top three areas in the entire United States because of the bay and ships so it's highly likely that she could have ended up in that situation
I used to live there when I was 8 and I never knew that. Thanks for ruining my childhood lol
I live in Brandon....🙋♀️but I never knew this area was a big one for human trafficking 😫🤔
@@NakitaCherie I live near Brandon too and I was shocked to learn how bad it is here! Definitely makes me not want to leave my house ever. I heard that this one restaurant got closed down because it was a front for human trafficking :/
I’m scared for u
If someone was in her car, in the driver’s seat, their body was there touching the seat. Why couldn’t they do a DNA or a fingerprint sort of thing?
I’m late. Fingerprints/evidence can’t survive in extreme temperatures. Florida is hot - the car sitting in the sun for days would ruin the evidence. However, if the car would have been kept in a garage or something, DNA could be recovered
Kendall I missed you so much ! I hope all is going well with your health, take all the time you need we all completely understand ❤️ love you so much 💗💗
Kendall Rae Hope you feel better!!
She looks so familiar....I literally think I have met her or know her somehow...but like idk where from...
kaley beddingfield i said the exact same thing! Idk she looks so familiar to me.
Same!!
Her posters were everywhere! You probably saw them. I think she has a very recognizable smile too, she's someone whos seems hard to forget.
She has a very friendly face
SHE LOOKS LIKE LELE PONS!!!!!!!!!
The ending song and photos always makes me want to cry. It’s always upsetting whenever anyone goes missing. I hope that they get found someday or that the family gets closure and finds out what happened.
It’s scary how many killers are walking around free.
My thoughts exactly 💯 😕
I find it scary because there are so many enablers out there, especially in law enforcement. So many either look away or ridicule victims. Indifference is the biggest enabler.
Killers etc wouldn't stand a chance if communities stepped up and protected each other.
That genius first cop especially in this case...I bet he was elected cop of the year...🙄🤦🏻♀️
Thats why you should build the wall!
Or traffickers
This is insane. My fiance lived by the Millenia Mall, and when I saw those condos I always wanted to live there. The condos that her car was found at are super dark. My fiance lived right down the street from there. The area is super scary and dangerous. When my fiance and I were just dating, and I went to his condo I wasn't allowed outside by myself, and if I drove to his place at night, I had to wait for him to walk me from the car to the home. I remember growing up seeing her posters all over the place cause I live in the suburbs of Orlando. I remember watching her missing posters fall apart over the years and always hoped that she would be found cause I thought she had a nice smile. I am so sad to rediscover this case and find out that a lot of amazing memories of mine are in the same area as possibly someones last terrifying memories. She needs to be found. I know in the area as well there is many lakes, rivers, and thick brush. There is also an insane amount of drug dealers, druggies, and homeless people...this makes me so sad.
Just an update, I asked my fiance about this, and he says he remembers her face. He remembered that she went missing from those condos and that she just looks so familiar to him. Apparently a lot of people in the area believe she is dead and buried somewhere locally. I hope this isn't the case...
I live in the “ghetto” no cameras, no gates and no one has been taken from my neighborhood. But that might be because there is *always* someone outside chillin’ and watching shit lol. So there never seems to be an opportunity for someone to be taken.
Lmao too true!!
I grew up in the ghetto too and it’s true lol people rarely get taken because everyone is always on their balconies or watching shit around the neighborhood lol
I went into a strangers home once and my mom knew before I got home 😅
Real rap...nobody getting snatched out the hood! Ya ass might get shot...but not taken!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😩😩
B Lane no cap💀
Same with my hometown, the babushkas are awaken 24/7😄
But why was the creepy co worker caught speeding?🤔🤔🤔
Sophia Rae my thoughts exactly! Maybe he ran late after doing something to her and was speeding to work.
It's Florida....we all drive like sh*t. lol Also most men here hit on their co-workers. The comment he made about her being eaten be alligators is what is most suspicious to me.
Melissa Nicole true. Even if he himself didn’t physically do anything he still could’ve known what was going to happen, or where she was
Melissa Nicole WE DO ALL DRIVE LIKE SHIT, SO TRUE. But every time someone cuts us off it’s always “WHERE IS THIS GUY FROM LEARN HOW TO DRIVE BUDDY”
Fun fact: Orlando has been named the city with the most dangerous stretch of Highway and the worst drivers 🤘🏼😅
!!!! Wish I could like this thirty times
Can you cover the case of Elizabeth soaf? She was taken and kept in a bunker but I think no one has covered this case in depth like you do . I think it will be a good case to cover!!!
Adela Lemus this sounds so interesting! Obviously horrifying for the victim, but i hope this case gets covered 😍
I haye bunkers so much. I was watching the rain on netflix and it just seems so horrible
The bunkers not the show
She’s alive or she didn’t make it?
She was fucking smart by gaining his trust
I know this is pretty late, but I just got to the point in the video where you mention if you feel uncomfortable to call someone. I just wanted to say that it may also be a good idea to pretend like the person is coming to get you and mention exactly where you are. ("Oh, you're that close to me already? Great!") The person on the line will probably catch on and the person making you uncomfortable will probably get uncomfortable themselves if they're up to no good. I actually did this once and a man who was following me got so freaked out that he ran in the other direction.
Also really hope you reach 1 mill subs soon you deserve it for the effort and quality behind these videos!
Idk about that
zach she’s getting really close. all deserved
And she did reached to 1 mill :)

I lived in Orlando right in the same are Jennifer lived when she went missing... the flyers were everywhere... they are STILL around the area. I hope they find her or at least come to know what happend so her family can heal. This is so sad.
Do you still live in Orlando and if so is there any information or new leads??
she really did have a beautiful smile wow
I’m glad this series is back and helping raise awareness and maybe help the cases.
I’m from Orlando and my whole childhood I remember this girls missing posters being blasted EVERYWHERE every store every street and they are still there to this day untouched
Her missing poster was hung on the corner above our old house in Bradenton, Florida. It's been there for year's. Her dad keeps replacing it.

Keep up the great work Kendall, it's amazing that you care and spread awareness, even though others don't
Just when I thought there was nothing left to watch tonight hehehe Thanks Kendall!
Kendall literally has the most beautiful hair and skin. She always looks flawless and gorgeous, makeup always on point. I appreciate the level of detail on every video she does and her story telling abilities. Always killing it in every video.
I knowwwww. Normally vids like these I'll have playing in the background, but watching her talk is enough. Its the perfect amount of comfort when it comes to sad/scary cases

Zyanya Leyva Girl you‘re so pretty!!
Alina Polat thank you :)
Quick Tip: . . . If you ever are walking alone at night and decided to call someone on the phone for safety while you are walking, make sure to stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Its easy to get involved in the conversation and not be AS alert to your surroundings
Well, yes, very good advice and same as when women are walking to their cars in a parking lot...day or night...stay alert of your surroundings. I don't believe the killer who stalked women at the Boca Raton, Fl. shopping mall parking lot has been caught.
He would strike women in broad daylight as they were getting into their vehicles and one woman and her daughter were shot & killed. Parking lots can be a predator's playground. (Ask for a store escort to your car if you are nervous and especially at night if you're alone).
THANK YOU! So many people talking about making calls and that's all great but attackers prey on women who are distracted or may have headphones/Bluetooth in
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 my parents would often ask me to call them when I had to walk somewhere alone at night but they wouldn't engaged me in deep conversation. Sometimes wouldn't even actually talk but just hang on the line so I had someone there if I needed them.
I was just about to comment the same thing!
I stopped doing that, after somebody managed to sneak behind me while I was on the phone and whispered into my ear 'Ow you are lying". I just ran and ran.. That happened late at night but right beside my house and of course it was a prank from one of my neighbours, but I cannot forget that and it still gives me the creeps. For sure a lesson learned! For life!
Another tragic story, I hope Jennifer’s family get some sort of closure, more specifically a happy one. It’s such a shame bad things happen to such good and loving people.
These videos will now poke at a soft spot for me. In two days it will be a month that one of my coworkers have been missing. There are no leads. No clues or evidence. No nothing. But I am still holding out hope. I am worried sick but also holding faith that they will be found safe. 💔
Positive vibes your way💕🔮🌙
What’s their name?? Maybe we can spread it around and get someone to talk about them?
Sorry about your coworkers. I hope they're found soon. I will keep you and them in my prayers.
ViviannaReynoso James Kerscher is his name. We live in Cincinnati, OH but more specifically he went missing in a little town called Reading which is also where he lived. He's an older adult and he has Aspergers. He went missing last month on Friday the 13th.
OnCloudCaudill im 2 hrs from cinci. Ill look into this case and share some stuff on facebook for you! Prayers!
I DONT UNDERSTAND how you don’t have a Netflix series about true crimes, missing person, and murder cases. You are truly talented, dedicated, inquisitive, and unbiased. Your content is amazing and I’m so thankful that I found you based on ilovesarahii’s recommendation
This is one of the most confusing cases you've covered so far Kendall! I feel so bad for this girl and her family. praying for them.
ps. i like your little moon shaped container thing for your crystals in the background
I love how you bring awareness to missing people it makes your subscribers be aware and alert of these missing people ❤️❤️
The way you tell someone's story and raise awareness to their disappearance is just amazing I look up to you so much
yo i freaking swear everything weird happens in florida
Truth
Thank god I live in Oregon
Thank you for telling people to call someone while you're alone, especially walking alone. Always let someone know where you are and what you're doing. Good safety tip!
From Tampa here, new evidence has just been found on her case ! Let’s hope this helps solve this horrible crime !
Hey!! New evidence really?? I follow the case constantly. I’m from ocoee and I’m living in Tampa now and I swear not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I grew up with flyers plastered all over my town. My mom and I talked about it a lot growing up. My jaw dropped when Kendall first posted this video a couple years ago bc it was a case so close to home.
What evidence??
Newly released images in a cold case involving a 24-year-old Florida business executive, who vanished in 2006, may indicate that a violent struggle unfolded before her disappearance, according to the woman’s family.
Few clues were discovered when Jennifer Kesse disappeared almost 15 years ago, but her father now says that new images of her abandoned Chevrolet Malibu indicate that she may have been attacked before going missing.
"It looked like someone was thrown down on the top of the hood - arms spread out and then dragged back, almost like off the hood, to the point where you can almost see fingers scribbling down the hood," Drew Kesse told Fox News.

Ahhh I have been waiting for this especially living in Orlando Fl, I moved to Orlando a week before this happened and I still get so baffled that the camera footage that was released is still frame so you can’t see anything 😩
lailaaoxx I’m so scared to live by myself, any tips? 😯
Selene N don’t trust anyone!
Selene N don’t be naive and always be on watch! and only befriend people that you really trust
Selene N I would say just always be aware of your surroundings of course and for me at the beginning I was always a bit scared so I bought one of those security alarms where you just stick it to the doors and windows and it makes a sound whenever it’s opened or you can set it to where you hear an actual alarm. Aside from that, don’t be scared I know at times it can be nerve wracking but I loved living on my own!! 🤗
Thank you everyone for the tips, is so scary to be a young woman living by yourself these days you literally can’t trust people
this isn't fair. this just isn't fair. idk why but as soon as I've seen her photo I felt connected to her and crying because she isn't in her mothers arms...what fu**ing world do we live in?
Sick humans everywhere
I met someone from her family @ the hospital I worked at in Jax, FL. They were still looking a couple years later and gave me a card with her picture that just stayed with me to this day. Such a beautiful woman.
Because we live in a fallen, sinful world. Where evil is prevalent.
Why are security cameras so crappy? I mean older cases I can excuse but in the year of our lord 2019 we still have such crappy security cameras... I mean I understand the lower quality makes it so we can store more image but still... cameras should be better at this point.
Conventional Sims that was in 2006, security cameras were still crappy back then

She is so so beautiful and sounds so sweet and genuine, which is also how her family comes off. So sad, glad they are putting pressure on the OPD and hopefully getting closer to some answers now that there is more emphasis on it!
I remember watching a video on this case awhile ago but you covered it in a different way that made it not repetitive at all to hear about again, good on you. Hope she is found safe somewhere! So odd that there's such little evidence, agh so frustrating! So sad that she was so safety conscious and did so many smart things to protect herself but something still happened to her!
So I was living in the houses right across from Jennifer she this happened and remember this like it was yesterday. 1st of all, where we were is the brink of ghetto and upscale- literally the grey line. Facing the apartment complex, to her right is Americana Blvd, obt, it's all scetchy there. To her left was millennia mall and other malls as well as a large shopping strip. That all being said, there was no bar there unless youean blue martini at the millennia mall. The place her car was located is super sketchy. I usually stayed away from that whole area. Like you said, majority of people, even I'm that area, believe she was taken for human trafficking. That's the only thing that makes sense in all of this. Around the same time (2-3 yes later) I was walking home from the millennia area and this car full of girls stopped out of nowhere and asked me if I wanted a ride. I said no but the insisted. This happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER APARTMENT COMPLEX. I told them no again since I lived right there. I lived on the first turn once you turn into the neighborhood, so when I got a gut feeling to run, I jumped my neighbors gate (right in front of them) and headed home as fast as possible. Thanks for making a video on this and getting a good amount of the facts right. I watched a video recently about Jennifer by someone else and they put the blame on Hispanics that didn't speak English in the area, I obviously got offended. But that's beside the point. Thanks for the video.
Why were you offended by the comment it was Hispanics? The construction workers on her complex were mainly Hispanics (illegal at that) and Jennifer had told her parents she felt uncomfortable around them because they would leer at her and make comments. So why get offended? There's a good chance that Hispanic construction workers were involved; it's easy to see why Hispanics could be involved. Read the comment somewhere above by 'The Hob Family'. Someone who is Hispanic who tells it like it is.
I’d agree except that there are sooooooo many places to hide a deceased person in FL, especially in Orlando. Lakes, ponds, bogs, forested areas, landfills, conservation areas, quarries - then the huge RE boom - she could have been hidden in construction, especially in the early 2000s in FL. Not that I’ve hidden a body,.... but my state has a lot of hiding places. Poor Kesse family .... they have taken hold of all the police files now and are working the case. I pray for them.
Katarina Smith It’s offensive because regardless of if it’s true, it *still* perpetuates awful stereotypes, and, assuming that illegal immigrants from various countries have to be hispanic is also offensive.
I JUST SAW A NEW REPORT ON TV TODAY THAT THEY HAVE A LEAD FOR HER AND HAVE A PLAN OMGGG
Update??
Ashleeb Whittlesey yeah there is dive team looking for something that is connected to her in the lake
They didn’t find her or anything of hers
Any updates?
I absolutely love your videos!!! Please do the story of the girl in the box. It’s a survival story of a girl who was trying to hitchhike and got picked up by a couple and was forced into slavery for 7 years! She was kept in a coffin like box for the majority of the time and was rapped repeatedly by the husband. She was brainwashed into believing this organization was going to kill her and her family if she left. She even went home once and the husband was there posing as her boyfriend but she was still in captivity. Finally years later the wife realized this was wrong and told her it was all a lie and she left with her two kids and the girl. He was put in jail and the wife was given amnesty.
ClaireBear Unicorn Yes!!! I’ve been wanting her to do this one as well for her Found series!
ClaireBear Unicorn such a strange story. I think they should make a movie about it
Jennifer Metz-Pickering They did! It’s on Lifetime or something and it’s literally called Girl in the Box. It’s how I found out about the case
There is an episode on this on the Netflix series 'dangerous persuasions' !
Eleanor Neale did a really great video on her story!
I just wanna say how genuine it is that you play a little tribute at the end of these videos. It’s beautiful. 💕🙏🏼
Florida has a huge trafficking problem and I'm glad you mentioned the sketchy area around that mall. Tourists don't realize the crime rates in that part of Orlando.
The co worker could have been speeding to work so they wouldn’t suspect him. But it’s also strange that her ex boyfriend was at the bar by her place that night. I think the ex boyfriend should be re examined. I mean there was no signs of a struggle. Her mace was on the counter. With the construction going on it seemed as if she was very cautious and wouldn’t answer the door for a stranger. I think maybe the ex. Its so sad. I truly hate how easy it is for people to disappear today. Especially with our technology today. They need amber alert 🚨 for adults.
unless the coworker came to her house that night. maybe she would have opened it for him , his circumstances seem very very very suspicious.
Amanda E I can’t understand why they didn’t dust the car steering wheel for fingerprints
I live in central Orlando and just today drove past one of those missing flyers for Jennifer. Can't believe it's been over ten years and this happened in my home town. Devastating
How many times have I heard Kendall say in one of her videos, " the family hired a private investigator" like seriously that should never have to happen. Isn't that why we have the FBI?
Thank you so much for this case! I am a member of the same sorority Jennifer was in, Alpha Delta Pi. This case hits close to home so it’s nice to see her story being shared! I never knew her but being an ADPi myself, it’s good to know that her case is still being talked about. You’re awesome, Kendall!
Kendall is right, please call SOMEONE, ANYONE when you are walking alone at night especially but even in the day. Calling people, even my 12 year old sister, has stopped men from harassing me and that alone can be scary. Please, try to call anyone. It really can be a deterrent at the very least and a witness if anything else happens.

The brother’s mysterious friend might have done it. Remember he “accidentally” left his work phone in her condo. Perhaps he planted it there on purpose and then abducted her sometime after she returned. The phone was missing from the condo and she had not yet mailed it. Someone was knocking on the door right before she went missing. Whoever this was is obviously the perpetrator.
I've always felt the same way about this. Which would also make sense as to why she may have let someone in after her shower..she would have probably figured that he was "safe." Hopefully he was thoroughly checked!
BINGO! You are closer than you think!
I think this theory is the one. No matter how safe you think you are and the people around you; evil wears a charming face.
Construction workers, most being undocumented, makes sense left do to fear of deportation overall.
The coworker, while my second suspect, had an alibi even if we do not know his whereabouts before the ticket.
The ex, it's a small world, people have bar preferences, while coincidental, not far fetched he happened to just drink nearby.
Your theory, stands out to me and one I had not thought till rewatching.
@@ggemini613 I like your thinking but the coworker did say the whole “she’s probably eaten by gators by now” (sorry if I misspelled it) and he could of been racing to get to work so he would have that alibi that he got a speeding ticket
@@TheBlacksheep2020 how do you know? Screenshotted and reported you to LEOs in FL!
Did I ever mention, that Kendall is the best TH-camr ever??
I owe my mom an apology for being a bratty teenager, always saying she worries about me too much. After watching this content and being a bit older and wiser now, I just want to give my poor mom a hug! I can't imagine what this woman's family is going through. I pray they find answers. No one deserves to live like that.
It was definitely the obsessed coworker. First of all, you don’t say that about someone you’re in love with when you find out they’re missing (unless you know something more). Secondly, he got a speeding ticket, probably because he was doing something with her and/or he needed an alibi.
Hmmm.... interesting... 😯
Fool was married too, what a sleazebag
that’s what i was thinking too. could have sped on purpose to get a solid alibi. could have known that a time stamped alibi is the strongest kind
I just discovered your channel...love it! So glad you covered this case, it has baffled me for years. I actually lived at that complex Mosaic at Millennia from 2009-2012. You could still see her flyer occasionally on posts around town. Very eerie. Also the security gate never worked. Most of the time the arm that comes down was broken off, a lot of the time there was no one on duty at the little guard house, so if I forgot my card there was no one to help. I hope it's gotten fixed since then but the security there always left me a little uneasy.
I hope she’s found ! So sad. I pray her parents find peace someday.
The first time I trip to U.S. I went to Sarasota Fla and a friend of mine took me to a local farmers market. She started to talk to a man who sold sheets at his spot, but my english was very poor at the time, however, I catch that something very bad happened to his daughter and her name was Jennifer Kessee. He told us that his family lost a lot of money on searching for her and the Russian mafia was involved. When I got back to Italy, I stopped at the Paris airport and I put there the fliers, to help find Jennifer. I like your video and I watch it everiday. Sei brava, ciao!!
hi kendall! i love your videos so much and i think it’s great that you’re raising awareness for all types of things! i’ve been a fan for a long time but i’m saying this now because this is one of the times i’m early to a video. unfortunately my schedules don’t allow me to watch your videos right away, but i write this in hopes that you see it. love you! ❤️❤️
Man, I really struggle with the constant theories of human trafficking in these cases. While trafficking is a huge problem in our country, it is VERY rarely of a random, well educated, mentally sound white girl who was abducted. These girls have the resources and agency to get themselves out of those situations too easily - they will be looked for and recognized - this isn't what traffickers want. They target people who are vulnerable - immigrants, addicts, mentally ill, etc. victims. They take advantage of the most vulnerable people in the worst way, and while it is a huge problem (again), I cringe every time I hear anyone speculate about it in these types of cases. Maybe its just optimism that they are alive..?
Me too. She was murdered.
I agree
While what you are saying is true, so is random abduction for trafficking. It is more popular than you think. And entirely possible, in every missing person case, that trafficking could be involved
She could be the victim of foul play. However, a blonde, white woman would go for a hundred thousand dollars on the human trafficking market. Chances are we will never know.
I mean yeah you never know and it can just be a random hate crime. May not have even known her just decided to murder
I remember this. I was still in college--in Orlando--when this happened. I even remember when they built those condos near Millenia, because I lived down the road with my parents--in fact I remember when the Millenia Mall was built. I still live in the area (about 40 minute car ride away) and you can still find her missing posters once in a while, mostly around that area. Every time I see them I get a little sad for her parents who are probably still putting posters up after more than a decade. I guess as a parent you just never give up hope, even if at this point just to know what happened to her so they can have some semblance of closure.
QUEEN IS BACK WITH "WHERE IS"
I'M FROM TAMPA AND I GO TO UCF IN ORLANDO... HOW WAS I UNAWARE OF THIS CASE???
For real, I go to UCF you'd think they'd have something to spread awareness or remember her by. I actually use to hang out in that area where she lived and had no idea.
I'm in Tampa too... So sad 😞
probably because UCF is in east Orlando and this case was in the millennia area on the west side of Orlando. Its like 2 different sides of the world to locals lol
Its a very old case. Over 10 years old. You might have been too young to remember maybe?
I was wondering the same, I live in Orlando
I found this channel at 8am, and now it's 8Pm and I'm still binging the videos... so good.
my best friend calls me all the time if she’s trying to just avoid conversation with random people lol or especially if she’s walking at night or something.
So sad 😞 I hope they find her and she is ok. She reminds me of the actress who plays Piper on Orange Is The New Black.
When I go out anywhere without my husband I like to send him texts letting him know every time I get to a new store/location, or a new street when I'm walking, when I'm on and off the bus if I take a bus, when I'm on my way home, etc. That way there is a written record of exactly where I was and at what time, in case anything ever happens. Even as a kid my mom made me call every time I left one location to go to another when I went out with friends. I guess maybe that's why I have this habit with my husband now. Also we've lived in rental homes for a while and if maintenence people or whoever have to come in when he's not home I always text to let him know when they are here and when they leave. Just makes me feel safer.
Why was he speeding to work in the first place though
maybe he was late
Greis Cicko why was he late 🙄
@@Sonicxis4ever I don't know
I've been waiting for another one of these💙🙏🏻
When my grandmother passed away and wasn't answering her door, the police said she just went out. We were literally standing ten feet from her car.
Wtf they can be so stupid!
@@lucyclark1301 why? Lol
You are truly one of the most hardworking and genuinely good hearted person on TH-cam, keep up the amazing work!!😘💛
That song at the end really got to me 😢 I hope she is found soon. I can’t imagine the hell her family must be going through not knowing where their sweetheart is 😔
Hi! im from Spain and I think you should look into the case of Marta del Castillo. It is the most famous case in spain. It has been going on for around a decade. She still hasn't been found...
You guys? Why didn’t they search a nearby lake or something of the sort? The co worker clearly meant she must be somewhere in water.
You always make every story feel so personable. I just love listening to you talk , I’ve been binge watching your videos for hours ❤️
Re watching, thinking about Jennifer’s story a lot this week. If I’m not mistaken the parents said the individual who dumped Jennifer’s car did not match anyone they were familiar with. That would likely rule out the boyfriend and the ex boyfriend. Unless they hired someone to dump the car. Assuming that the perpetrator and the person who was captured leaving the car are one in the same this means it’s someone her parents never met. So a stranger or her coworker most likely. However to me the person dropping the car looks like a Latin/Hispanic male,with dark hair slicked back a small ponytail and wearing perhaps painter or construction attire. Also when I views the surveillance footage it appears they are walking almost in their tip toes. Possibly a foot injury or maybe they were a little paranoid about possible fill prints being picked up. Most of the time when someone moves a vehicle like this its to throw people off and buy time. The car was captured at noon being dropped. Her family and co workers said she left like clock work at 7:30 or 8 am each morning. This gives the perpetrator possibly 4 1/2 hrs from the time we believed Jennifer was abducted to the car being dropped. Not the longest time frame in a case. Especially once we consider that no prints,signs of forced entry or foul play were found inside the apartment nor her car. Really would appear as if she was abducted outside of her apartment and forced into another vehicle of some sort. The person or persons like took her keys and moved the vehicle after she was taken. I believe it was more than one person. If she was forced to her car there was a vehicle standing close by and she was transferred into that. There is no way all evidence could have been removed if she was harmed in her vehicle. POI dropping the car was only inside around 30/40 down odd seconds before getting out and walking away. That’s not enough time to clean up a crime scene. The police don’t believe the car was driven far. I believe it really was just driven complex to complex. As far as we know it wasn’t seen anywhere else beforehand. I really pray her case is solved and that people keep seeing her face and talking about her. It’s been maybe 13 years or something like that and she and her family deserve justice. She could still even be alive. Stranger things have happened. Let’s not lose hope.
It looks like a black guy to me. And I think someone forced her into their car, killed her in their car, then moved her car, and disposed of her later but since they have no clue they'd have nobody to check out. Definitely construction clothes.

Just came from Joshledore's alien implanting objects video! You know its a good day when you guys both post a video! :)
