Family had to pay $18,000 for access to the case files. That's after they sued. They also hired their own dog team which got hits at a nearby lake. Police refused to search the lake, saying their own dogs got no hits. I'm with the parents on this... things are starting to look suspicious.
@@Mr.FadedGlory Most municipalities charge a small fee for copies of incidents, like an auto collision, etc. They're typically $10-15 for a physical copy. I think they only charge that fee so everyone doesn't show up wanting a copy of an incident they were involved in. But $18k?! I'm with ya --- sounds like lawyer fees.
Wellllllll…..I see both sides. One, if the family isn’t getting anything hopeful from the police and their work, I can see how they would be willing to do anything and everything that they were able to, financially or not. However, from the detective’s perspective, if they don’t have any promising leads, anyone and everyone could potentially be the suspect who caused/helped her to go missing. Sadly family or loved ones are number one at being the culprit…even if we all agree that it is most likely not the case here… Still, they don’t have any good leads, clearly due to the lack of evidence. So UNLESS the day comes where actual, PHYSICAL evidence comes to light like DNA, the body, the murder weapon, etc. the police need to keep certain details to themselves. It breaks my heart that son many people turn against the investigators in times in which they simply have no idea how to differentiate and determine whether the investors are incompetent, or more sinisterly covering something up, or just trying to protect details that only the actual person(s) involved in the victims disappearance/murder would know, which would be absolutely VITAL in order to execute a conviction………
True. When you're young you think shit stuff is just really bad luck and random crap that happens ..when you get older you slowly start to realize, that's not the case. Especially in these type of cases, the more you look n to , the more you realize that a huge part of t is actually organized kidnappings. There's an insatiable human slave ( sex) market out there in the world.
Well it isn't fair or unfair..it just is, Would be creepy if there were actual forces behind the scenes making sure you become a top athlete or something like in the sims games
yeah... sometimes i just realize the world is chaos and both good and bad things happen without reason it's scary and saddening but also is more motivation to be kind to one another if the universe doesn't care, we can
As a cadaver k-9 handler this upsets me that knowing a dog made a hit on the water, divers weren’t put in the water? Did anyone drag the lake? The dog tracked back to her apartment. Was a grid search done within that mile? So many questions
I used to deliver pizza, and I remember going up to a house. The lady was very nice and with the tip there was a card. It was the cards with her face on it that were shown in the video. They also had a blown up photo of it in the window facing the streets. Turns out it was her parents. Small world. This was about 5 years ago so, even 10 years later they aren't giving up.
The amount of data it would take to record in HD quality 24 hours a day 7 days a week would be insurmountable. I've wondered this myself but I guess it's a question of storage and space.
Well that seems to always be the case :D They have surveillance but it is such a low quality, that nobody can really use it for much :) :) :) Such a weird place to save a little bit of money.
Nah, footage straight out of the 2000's. I guess you're too young to remember what that was like but not so long ago 144p potato quality was the _peak_ of quality.

@@keonblizzy3706 he was nowhere near the condo, & his alibi is airtight. Blaming a boyfriend/ girlfriend or spouse, every time someone is missing, just because “statistics”, has destroyed so many investigations & has caused both police & the public to have tunnel vision. Look into how many times the cops got it wrong, because they just assumed it must be the partner. Start with Henry Keogh & go from there.
Or could’ve picked the worst day to go in late and make up an excuse. But I’m guessing they followed up on him if this TH-cam video makes us think it was him.
I think the construction workers who harassed her are the most likely suspect(s). They had a white van parked next to where her car was supposed to be parked, I think they dragged her into it on the morning she went out to her car and then drove off somewhere, one of them taking her car. What they did to her I don't want to speculate on, but afterwards one of them were told to dropp off the car somewhere and then walk back. When the brother came to her apartment and tried to ask them if they've seen her they ignored him and almost became aggressive.
@@Hypno_BPM what are you talking about, there are thousands of cases where multiple perpetrators kept their mouth shut for man years until evidence caught up to them. Besides, maybe they have spoken about it, but they live in a village in rural Mexico with no way for it to reach U.S.A?
This is the first I heard of this case. When I saw video of the guy who dropped off her car, I recognized the shoes and overalls he's wearing as a painter. My husband worked construction for years and all these guys wear the same stuff. His shoes were a big giveaway for me too. They are the kind you wear at a construction site. I know Mike mentioned the condo complex was being worked on. I think this was a worker. But I immediately know those boots and overalls as a painter. The overalls they wear go really low down the back. It's not like farmer-type overalls. They are cut for more arm movement. I am willing to bet Vegas money it was a painter.
Hey I just noticed that after I read your comment. I'd definitely try to contact them to have that checked out. That definitely looks like a painter's outfit.
Also looks to me like their hair is in a bun. With estimated height at 5'3"-5'5", is it possible this is a woman? Possibly one of two people involved, the female possibly able to have Jennifer let her guard down for a male to then abduct her, then the woman gets rid of the car?
Maybe you should try to get in touch with her family. I mean they have phone numbers and websites plastered all over their vehicle, they clearly want people with any info or ideas to get in touch.
2 Suspects had just renovated her apartment the week before she went missing. PLEASE reach out to them if you can. I just came from a longer docu on her. They had their eyes on 2 (especially the 1) conatracters/workers for sometime. It can't hurt.
@Pappy Chulo that's illegal and what they were doing tickets do not work that way. You have to go to the court and do the paperwork for it that didn't happen. That guy is definitely guilty
The comment made by the coworker about her being eaten by alligators - how can it be that that wasn't pursued any further? Certainly that coworker would have remained a person of interest in a case where there literally are no others.
I wonder what that coworkers height was. The FBI said the guy in the footage, his height was 5'3-5'5. The fact that he made that comment, just happened to be late for work that same day and was never required to submit proof of his ticket (doesn't seem like that'd be hard to check) is baffling..
@@Unibot47 Yes, it seems like they would verify that mysterious ticket alibi and then act accordingly. That said, the comment about the alligators, as repulsive as it is, is the sort of thing that I can easily imagine a lot of wannabe jokesters saying in an attempt at dark humor. Even more so considering he was rejected.
I find it so crazy with these unsolved cases, how there’s people out there that are possibly living a normal life knowing they done these things.... mental. Congrats on the 200k man! Love this channel!
Sociopathy is not uncommon. I remember reading somewhere that around eight per cent of the US population have sociopathic personalities. Of course, it take more to commit horrible things, like murder and rape, but being a sociopath means that there will never be a confession or admission of guilt.
I can't imagine everyone sitting around, waiting to view the footage and getting that crappy image of a person walking in front of a gate with no possible way to identify said person. My heart would break.
I’ve never heard of the family of a missing person having to sign a contract releasing the law enforcement from having to continue searching. Bizarre!!
Did he have the same haircut as the guy on camera, even though half his face is missing, u can still see he was a white man, with heterosexual hair-cut and style
This case is so sad. I live in Bradenton,FL and have met her parents many times. They are very nice people. I feel so bad for them and the loss they have gone through. I wish they could get some closure. Prayers for them. 🙏
I live in Bradenton too! There is only 18 of us there. How have I never met you or the parents? We gotta another mystery to solve! Girl set it up to get away from her wackadoo parents and family. She left!
@@jamesbrown6048 I used to live in Bradenton, too. Next to the Tennis Academy! Were you the neighbor who screamed, "I feel good!!!" every time he took out the garbage?
@@jamesbrown6048 I’m from Bradenton as well what do you mean there was only 18 of you, and she didn’t try to escape from her parents she would’ve left traces of evidence if she had
@@tacokoneko Nah just something better. By 2006 we had 3 megapixel cameras in our phones. But apparently people on here think that 2006 was so long ago, that all the technology we had was powered by steam and witchcraft.
@@hambonejamboree7750 CCTV always lacks behind coz it's recording all the time and needs to save as much memory as possible to have a long recording so if it's needed it's still available, that's also the reason why most of the times they are in grey shades. Even today the CCTV Cameras are much worse then your average photocamera. For 2006 it was a regular CCTV Camera and nothing to be ashamed of.
This would also explain why the police dog walked from where the car was, all the way back to the apartment! It was tracing the scent of the man that left the car, and must have walked back to the apartment complex. If it was the construction workers, it makes perfect sense that if they took her into the white van that was parked next to her car at the complex, they wouldn’t want to leave her car there, leading investigators to focus solely on those around her apartment, like the construction workers! Not to mention the height of the guy, and what he’s wearing. 5’3 and 5’5, that’s really short for a male, it’s average height for Mexicans tho (not racist, Mexican family, they’re all super short lol) Too much points toward them. Also supports the multiple abductor theory, several of them could have taken her and done what they did. If this is true. There’s almost no hope of a solve on this one.
It had to be someone that knew her. Because if they would have gotten her into her vehicle how would they have done that? If somebody was trying to abduct her I'm sure she would have screamed and people would have seen it. She opened the door to them she knew them and we're familiar with them. Wouldn't doubt if it was a co-worker an ex or a friend of a friend
"A traffic ticket he had gotten" made him late for work? Yet no officer had a moment with him...you would think that would of made them zoom in on the coworker
they did zoom in on him but no evidence is no evidence 😕 they eliminated him as a suspect. the cops will tell you though that it doesnt mean he didnt do it.
I was thinking the same thing. I should hope that they looked at him from the side and compared the back of his haircut to what's visible on the security footage..
These disappearances hurt more than murders because you just don't know what happened to her or where she is. Just heartbreaking thinking about what the family and friends must have gone through.
Yes. Someone in my family was murdered and as horrific as it was for my family at least we know what happened. To constantly wonder if a loved one is still alive. I can't imagine what kind of terrible thoughts run through the families' mind.
I feel so sorry for her parents. I couldn’t imagine how frustrated they are. I have listen to so many podcasts about this case, I pray one day there will be justice for Jennifer.
You also need that storage capacity for high res cameras. If there wasn't a fence the camera quality would have been fine. It is really frustrating that the frame rate, the speed of the guy and the fence poles matched up. (The quality of the first camera footage was indeed trash)
I have a 26 year old son. I can’t imagine the pain of having no clue of his whereabouts, or thinking he’s been murdered. I’d be a raving lunatic looking for him. My heart truly goes out to these parents who have to live with this.
I've watched a lot of your videos... This one really, really tugged on my heart. It's absolutely amazing how the POI was able to not be seen or ID'd in that surveillance video. My heart goes out the Kesse Family. God Bless You and Jennifer and Keep You 😔
Mike is only covering a fraction of these types of cases. It's overwhelming to think about how many of these missing persons there are in this country.
"The dogs can smell things that, heh, we can't. It's like, I mean, the dogs can like smell things and detect things that, heh, WE can't." Sounds like she knows her stuff.
Many people who choose to work with animals aren’t great (are socially awkward) with people. Many don’t like/trust people at all.. and usually have good reason for that distrust. I prefer to cut people a break. Maybe she was nervous to speak on camera? Maybe she has social anxiety. I think ‘idiot’ and ‘box of rocks’ might be a bit of an over the top judgement of a perfect stranger especially when it’s based on 2 seconds of video.
I've watched the majority of your videos by now. I love the format. You have a way of throwing in a bit of humor and light hearted jabs without disrespecting the seriousness of what you're covering. Saved these unsolved cases for last. Something about that lack of closure is so unnerving. A true nightmare.
When ya mentioned that she may have had a stalker... but that she had been out of town for the weekend, it made me think. So, she does have a stalker, she leaves for vacation, which probably stressed the stalker out. Then the stalker may have built up the courage and made the plans while she was gone. As soon as she gets back stalker is like, now or never, I’m finally going to do it. And then Monday morning the stalker does it.
Thank you Mike. You did a great job on telling her story . You have brought Jennifer back to the front to refresh everyone's mind. Maybe something new will be discovered. God speed , rest in peace. We think of you all the time. 💐
Missing adult cases are always difficult because so many of them are "allowed" to disappear and cops don't always listen when family members are clearly telling them, "this is not normal." I know it's not possible for cops to jump on every single case that comes up, but they could at least do ALL of their due diligence when they take a case.
you young people, so silly. don't you pay attention? politicly there is a problem between the good guys and the cops. the supreme court has proclaimed that there is absolutely nothing that police have to do to "protect and or serve" us. they can just watch and then make a report, or not if they want.
I'm no fan of law enforcement officials, but if there's no leads, what should they do? Aren't a low % of crimes solved? If they worked on all of these unsolved cases with the fervor you guys want, we need to hire a lot more of them
rob burdack The police can’t keep investigating when they have zero evidence unfortunately. I feel terrible for her parents and bad for the police too. Must be horrible knowing you can’t solve something.
If she was still alive being held somewhere, I point to South America. Specifically Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. It's unlikely she would be a simple prisoner, they would make her "work" for her life. Make it worth their while. Sick fucks.
This one and the other one mike did where the guy dressed up in swat gear in the church in texas piss me off so bad. You have these guys in the act and can go nowhere with it, i cant imagine how fed up the cops reviewing it would be
Scott M89 yeah I remember that one! That one is so sad and creeped me out. I’m rewatching that video right now and can’t watch the footage, it gave me the chills immediately. Camera footage of a suspect makes a case so real and as you say so frustrating for everyone involved.
@@scottm8914 also the Delphi murders make me so mad. Out of the three I think Delphi is the only one that will be solved. A TH-camr by the name of True Crime Jesus has some great videos on a geocaching theory where the Poi is a college professor.
I can never seem to shake this case either. Missing person cases are so horrible. Yes, that camera footage is just cruel. I can't imagine being an investigator or one of Jennifer's loved ones seeing that footage, so close, yet nothing.
I wonder if they interviewed the maintenance at the apartments? This sounds a lot like another case where a woman disappeared and there were no leads for years until the cold case detective re-interviewed the maintenance guy. His story changed. He had access to her condo and while she vacationed and when she returned he abducted her. The case was solved and it was the maintenance guy.
Have they checked people in her building? The walls of her building? The building manager? The dog led them right there. Her stalker could have been in the building. Seems like the best starting point.
Police were too stupid and lazy to look for evidence in the empty buildings of the complex. The dumbass detectives first assigned to the case did not even take notes
It was definitely a construction worker because the sniffer dog led them right back from the car to the condo and sat down in the grass by the bushes behind her building. So the guy went back there to go to work after he got rid of the car. Shows me he’s done this before and thought it through. They should be looking at every construction worker with a criminal history of sexual assault and SHAKE THEM UPSIDE DOWN until they talk. there’s got to be some DNA in that car. So clearly by noon she was already dead or taken wherever she was going to be hidden. Why the cops are not still aggressively pursuing this case is so disturbing to me that I ended up leaving that area. Of course it’s all over so you can’t really escape it. What a sick world we live in right?
I have been following Jennifer's case since the very beginning....The men who were working on the condo's that Jennifer lived in had keys to all the condos so I think it is very likely that it was one of them and thats why there was no evidence of a struggle in her apartment....It was also said that many of the workers were undocumented workers and many of them left the area possibly the country after Jennifer's disappearance...
why do you mention them having keys as being likely the ones to be the abductors? if anything, it exonerates them because the abduction happened between the building and her being in the car (she had already left her condo).
@@MorganPhillipsPage , not sure where you got your information but nobody knows for sure when Jennifer went missing..She would always call her boyfriend in the mornings when she woke up and she did not that morning and her phone was turned off as her parents tried calling her as well...So to say she went missing while walking from her condo to her car is totally speculation. The only evidence we know for certain is there was clothes laid out on her bed and there was water in the shower and wet towels on the bathroom floor to show that she did shower that morning. What happened after is total speculation but the fact that alot of the workers disappeared after she went missing is a huge red flag to me also the cctv footage of the person that drove Jennifer's car to tge other apartment complex looks like a painter/ construction worker to me..He is dressed all in white..
@@danamaupin8318 she had prepared her work stuff for her meeting. didn't you hear that? besides lets break it down. either they took her before she left or after she left her condo, correct? only 2 possibilities there, so im sure we can agree on that. in the case of them having gone into her home (keep in mind, they could do this during the night therefore and this is an immediate argument killer because this would be the easiest and less risky way rather than wait for her to supposedly wake up and then enter), but lets say if they entered her home, then why got out of their way to relocate her car which was in no way related? if anything, it would only increase their chance of getting caught. but why would they, especially considering that nothing was taken at all. OR, she left her condo and was entering her car when this happened; instead of using their car which wouldve given away their identity, they use her car to carry on the method of transporting her. from there, they must now dump the car, as it is a dead give away if spotted near their property.
@@MorganPhillipsPage , I think they moved her car to buy them time to do what they wanted to do with her..The reason I think they came into her apartment is because her dad said she always carried pepper spray anytime she went anywhere. He said she always kept the pepper spray right beside her keys so she wouldn't forget it but when her mom and dad walked into her apartment that was the first thing her dad noticed was the pepper spray was on the kitchen counter..Jennifer had also told her dad that the workers was cat calling her making her very uncomfortable..She also told her dad that some of the workers were staying in the unfinished apartments next to her and she had told the manager...The dad also caught one of the workers in a lie..
This is the case that has never left me...out of thousands of cases, Jennifer's case haunts me. Her parents are simply amazing. They have been handed such an injustice. Thank you for covering this case.
@451 _ You took the time out of your day to leave a sarcastic, childish comment. What a waste of time. You read through comments and make negative comments. Sounds fun!!!!
Awkward Autistic the most talented computer people I’ve run into are incredibly individualistic and never want to have their research tasks forced by their employer/the government. Same reason 4chan located that secret ISIS base through shadow angles etc. while the army couldn’t. To be honest undercover government intel requests could be posted to have them figured out as long as smartasses think they came up with it
It's a shame that businesses and housing companies cheap out when it comes to quality security cameras. Either they get the shittiest possible camera with resolution that looks like it was shot on a potato or they don't care enough to upkeep a decent camera and then damage/record over/lose footage.
I have 3 wifi cameras in my apartment. 2 run at 720p and are battery powered and 1 runs at 1080p and is wired... all are 60fps and record in color. Cost me $80 when I bought them in 2015. Butttt this was in 2006 lol. That technology wasn't even available....
The problem is when you store that footage and the higher the resolution is the more storage space you need. The camera of the parking lot was not bad but the frame rate and the pole rate of the fence were sadly the same in that specific moment. The first camera footage shown was indeed trash you coudn't recognize anything.
Insurance companies should enforce or regulate standards for security cameras, prior to a crime , not afterwards only to realize they were useless the whole time providing a false sense of security.
I actually think they provide a real sense of security. Just their appearance alone I think prevents umpteen crimes happening on a daily basis. And it is all about priorities. They figured that the payback from restructuring their systems to expensively (both in money and storage) record high-resolution footage 24/7 in that residential complex would not be enough to justify it. Better to have low-quality footage all of the time than high-quality footage some of the time
Such a sad case. I hope the parents will find out what happened to Jennifer one day. The pain the family feels must be unbearable. I feel so bad for them. ❤
Any channel that brings light to crime incidents, is GOLD to me. It’s not solely entertainment for me. It’s a reminder, maybe a “oh, I do have, I seen-“ for many. You could be a tourist, and have been through that town and have something you never thought would be important, but it is. Thank you, Mike. Thanks for bringing all of this to us.
Nancy Betters I worked next door to her at a pizza place when she went missing. All the west gate employees used to come in for lunch, one of our drivers that was there at the time is now in jail for another missing girl 🤔
The podcast "True Crime Garage" reviews this case as well, and has a deeper discussion and more evidence concerning the suspects in this case, including the ex-boyfriend and the colleagues. Worth a listen. Thanks for making these videos and giving these cases the much needed exposure.
Agree 💯! I just found his channel a few days ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Just flawless. He's so much better than any media commentator. 💖
Exactly....and that’s just one part of the evidence that points in that direction. The height of person in video/foreign worker, the weird vibes Jennifer got from them prior, the not speaking, but staring at and language barrier, them having access, the work van, them being present, etc., etc.
I lived in Orlando at the time of Jennifer’s disappearance. I remember in the field very near where she disappeared, there were men playing cricket regularly. Most of these men were all white outfits when they played. Just a thought...
Hell Yeah he does. To me looks like a short guy with a buzz or bowl cut with like you said painter clothes on. I do side jobs with a friend of mine who has a painting company and that's how his crew dress. White shirts cargo pants black shoes
I live in the area where this happened. It was all over the news. Jennifer was such a relatable young woman, many of us could see ourselves or our daughters in her, and it was truly heartbreaking. I really hope they solve this one day. 🙏🏼💕
When it really was a painter/worker at the condo the perp could by now anywhere from south america to up to canada. So many murdered people didnt show up to this day. Would she be trafficed someone would have seen her by now and had called in a tip
@@ginexkasachstan Most of the workers were from South America, so when the police tried to question some of them they were not very cooperative, and a few left the area afterwards. Thats according to Jennifer's Father on the show Disappeared. The guy on the video, from his size, walk and body type appears to be one of those workers.
Did the police even talk with the guy that said "She's probably eaten' by gators right now" Like who would even come up with that? Especially someone that you worked with.. Sounds a little fishy to me. And the fact that he lied about getting a ticket. Did he match the guy walking in that cctv? Like i feel like they just brushed off some possible leads that could've went deeper.
Someone that open about their opinion on something sensitive sounds a lot like typical morbid tearoom chat to me. He most likely did not mean it as said. That kind of comment in a workplace does not match the thoroughness and self-control of someone who would clean the inside of a car to the extent of leaving no DNA or fingerprint evidence. He probably had a macabre sense of humour in his banter, or maybe that was his way of processing the news of his ex-girlfriend being missing. You need more suspicion than that to raise eyebrows
@@TheJthom9 It wasn’t her ex. He was her boss, and hitting on her while married. He is not the person in the video. Completely different body type. I don’t think it was him, but I certainly wouldn’t rule out his involvement either. He was late to work the same day she disappeared. And made that comment to people he knew were mourning for her.
He said “she’s probably been eaten by alligators by now” and the parents hired private canines to assist in the case and they hit on a lake that the police refused to search. Seems like a very probable place to look to me.
I lived in the same subdivision when you disappeared. The cops had a suspect who abruptly moved. It’s hard to imagine how hard this been for her parents. Justice will catch up with whoever responsible. Karma will get you.
Katarina Smith that’s bc karma happens in the next life not this one. If it’s this one you’ve got bad luck in then it’s sposed to have been something you’ve done in you’re last one. I think🤷🏻♀️
if someone was stalking her, and she “disappeared” to the virgin islands, he could’ve freaked out if he didn’t know about the trip, and killed or kidnapped her when she got back. A fear of losing her type of deal.
Security specialist: "Since we have to look at storage prices and how long the footage is saved for, after its initial recording -- how low should the quality of the videos be?" Company owner: "Yes."
All of them are very well known, unless this is the only channel you use to hear true crime stories, which is fair enough, but they've all been covered on podcasts, or other TH-cam channels
@@timdegraw1784 Yes, it's not known to you, that doesn't mean that it's not well known. I know absolutely nothing about baseball, basketball, ice hockey or American football, are those sports not very well known to people, or am I talking from my point of view?
@@JimmyB2772 I only listen to two true crime podcasts, and I've recognised every case covered on this channel. Most people have, a quick look through the comments will show that. I enjoy his presentation, but he definitely doesn't cover many lesser known cases

LOCAL NEWSNothing found in lake despite new tip about Jennifer Kesse’s disappearance Kesse Cold Case By Francesca Constantini | November 10, 2019 at 6:08 PM EST - Updated November 12 at 9:42 AM BRADENTON, Fla. (WWSB) - A dive team spent days at Lake Fischer in Orange County last week searching for any clues in the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse. A woman came forward about “something weird” she witnessed 13 years ago at that lake, located more than a mile away where Jennifer was last seen. WKMG is reporting new information that says nothing was actually found in the lake. This will not stop the family from continuing to find out what happened to Jennifer and her father, Drew Kesse, says this search was seven months in the making. “[The woman] had witnessed across the lake one morning, when there were no houses, a pick up truck had backed up to the lake and she saw a man get out and take out a six- to eight-foot piece, rolled up what seemed to be carpet,” he told ABC7 by phone Sunday
Kim Harrison Such a bizarre fucking tip to wait 13 years on. There’s zero guesswork there, a carpet roll dumped at a lake?? Not even a “looked like probably a fisherman but better safe than sorry?” If that was a real experience and not some gross attention seeking then keeping it after first hearing the news was incredibly gross. Still if it was real very glad they came forward after all, the family deserves zero “I thought it was nothing but would’ve been the golden tip” situations. Those poor people.
When they were determining the height of the POI, it was discovered that the footage is also extremely discolored. It's possible he could have been wearing pretty much any color.
I think it is a maintenance worker from the condominium complex. He would have keys to the apartment, and maybe worked at the other complex he ditched the car @ at one time or another. Knew there was no cameras there Her body might still be in the complex. Especially if construction was going on. Gain entry. Assault/kill her, hide body on grounds, dump car, return to work, finish concealing the body. Mystery solved.
I would have liked to have seen pictures of some of the suspects, you can see the back of his head and he had a pretty distinct haircut. Such a tragic story. My heart goes out to her family. Good work keeping the story alive.
The haircut reminds me of something skinheads wear a variation of actual full shave it appears to be shaved near nape and some growth on top. And the clothing although discoloured is too matched to be layman clothing. It's a jumpsuit a maintenance worker, car mechanic or painter.
I grew up within a mile of all of this and I moved to the other side of Downtown a couple years before it happened. The area of town where here car was found is terrible. My heart goes out to her family, this one has bothered me for years.
@@billblaski9523 word is that it was a sketchy area that was being revitalized. However, the apts where her car was found were in a much worse area than her own condo.
Thank you, Mike for covering this story. I live in Orlando, her picture and information is still put on the side of our city buses occasionally. It's a really sad story without any solid leads. Her family and friends need closure
Who in their right mind would make a sick "joke" about a recently missing person being "gator food by now". I mean, the last thing your mind would want to think is that the missing person is dead. That alone indicates callousness, if not some sort of resentment towards her, or pleasure at the thought that she may be/is dead.
I replayed the part with the fence. It looks to me like the person is wearing a uniform. The kind painters, janitors wear. They are also wearing what looks to me like work boots.
I was thinking that also, I personally think it was him, perhaps he is a relative of the owner of that business, and they paid the cops to back off, and then later put up a large amount of reward money, to save face
@@juliehay The company she worked for was very large, doubtful he knew the owner very well. West gate has locations all over with hundreds of employees at each one. This guy was also her boss, and married, yet hitting on her. He’s not the person in the video, though. He was bigger, not so thin.
I personally am suspicious of the security workers at her complex. Clearly they have access to spare keys, would know where the security cameras faced, could come up with a legitimate excuse to let themselves into the apartment without raising suspicion, and would be able to track her comings and goings.
Family had to pay $18,000 for access to the case files. That's after they sued. They also hired their own dog team which got hits at a nearby lake. Police refused to search the lake, saying their own dogs got no hits. I'm with the parents on this... things are starting to look suspicious.
It should never cost money to get police files, creating a situation where rich families get better justice than poor.
@@stevechristie2569 he must be talking about lawyer fees? I can't see the cops charging 18k. Who takes the money county records?
@@Mr.FadedGlory Most municipalities charge a small fee for copies of incidents, like an auto collision, etc. They're typically $10-15 for a physical copy. I think they only charge that fee so everyone doesn't show up wanting a copy of an incident they were involved in. But $18k?! I'm with ya --- sounds like lawyer fees.
Wellllllll…..I see both sides. One, if the family isn’t getting anything hopeful from the police and their work, I can see how they would be willing to do anything and everything that they were able to, financially or not. However, from the detective’s perspective, if they don’t have any promising leads, anyone and everyone could potentially be the suspect who caused/helped her to go missing.
Sadly family or loved ones are number one at being the culprit…even if we all agree that it is most likely not the case here…
Still, they don’t have any good leads, clearly due to the lack of evidence. So UNLESS the day comes where actual, PHYSICAL evidence comes to light like DNA, the body, the murder weapon, etc. the police need to keep certain details to themselves. It breaks my heart that son many people turn against the investigators in times in which they simply have no idea how to differentiate and determine whether the investors are incompetent, or more sinisterly covering something up, or just trying to protect details that only the actual person(s) involved in the victims disappearance/murder would know, which would be absolutely VITAL in order to execute a conviction………
@@Mr.FadedGlory FOIAs cost money. Even true crime channels and podcasters have paid thousands for FOIA requests. It’s completely crazy.
As I get older my heart really does weep for how unfair the world really is.
@James Bond That sounds like a you problem.
True. When you're young you think shit stuff is just really bad luck and random crap that happens ..when you get older you slowly start to realize, that's not the case. Especially in these type of cases, the more you look n to , the more you realize that a huge part of t is actually organized kidnappings. There's an insatiable human slave ( sex) market out there in the world.
Well it isn't fair or unfair..it just is, Would be creepy if there were actual forces behind the scenes making sure you become a top athlete or something like in the sims games

As a cadaver k-9 handler this upsets me that knowing a dog made a hit on the water, divers weren’t put in the water? Did anyone drag the lake? The dog tracked back to her apartment. Was a grid search done within that mile? So many questions
They actually drained the pond but found nothing.
Does it matter the age of the dog as to how well they perform? Bc the search dog, Amaretto, was only 3 yrs old, that's a puppy basically.
I used to deliver pizza, and I remember going up to a house. The lady was very nice and with the tip there was a card. It was the cards with her face on it that were shown in the video. They also had a blown up photo of it in the window facing the streets. Turns out it was her parents. Small world. This was about 5 years ago so, even 10 years later they aren't giving up.
That’s so sad
This made my heart ache so deeply
They are super nice people, I’ve followed this case from the beginning. I spoke to her parents via email a couple of times
Are you slow? Yes they do
What?
Why, for the love of god, is the "security" camera so blurry. What is the point of even having the damn thing.
The amount of data it would take to record in HD quality 24 hours a day 7 days a week would be insurmountable. I've wondered this myself but I guess it's a question of storage and space.
eustace b that’s why the cameras should be one frame per second with higher quality.
It was also 2005...and who knows how old the camera itself was.
It just burns my biscuits!
Well that seems to always be the case :D They have surveillance but it is such a low quality, that nobody can really use it for much :) :) :) Such a weird place to save a little bit of money.

LOOK AT THE BOYFRIEND. MOST LIKELY SUSPECT!!
@@keonblizzy3706 he was nowhere near the condo, & his alibi is airtight. Blaming a boyfriend/ girlfriend or spouse, every time someone is missing, just because “statistics”, has destroyed so many investigations & has caused both police & the public to have tunnel vision. Look into how many times the cops got it wrong, because they just assumed it must be the partner. Start with Henry Keogh & go from there.
The guy who couldn't prove his ticket seems like the most likely suspect
Or could’ve picked the worst day to go in late and make up an excuse. But I’m guessing they followed up on him if this TH-cam video makes us think it was him.
I think the construction workers who harassed her are the most likely suspect(s). They had a white van parked next to where her car was supposed to be parked, I think they dragged her into it on the morning she went out to her car and then drove off somewhere, one of them taking her car. What they did to her I don't want to speculate on, but afterwards one of them were told to dropp off the car somewhere and then walk back. When the brother came to her apartment and tried to ask them if they've seen her they ignored him and almost became aggressive.
Louie the chances that it was multiple men involved and none of them spoke out by now is very very low
@@Hypno_BPM what are you talking about, there are thousands of cases where multiple perpetrators kept their mouth shut for man years until evidence caught up to them. Besides, maybe they have spoken about it, but they live in a village in rural Mexico with no way for it to reach U.S.A?
Louie thousands ? i’d like to see that stat
This is the first I heard of this case. When I saw video of the guy who dropped off her car, I recognized the shoes and overalls he's wearing as a painter. My husband worked construction for years and all these guys wear the same stuff. His shoes were a big giveaway for me too. They are the kind you wear at a construction site.
I know Mike mentioned the condo complex was being worked on. I think this was a worker.
But I immediately know those boots and overalls as a painter. The overalls they wear go really low down the back. It's not like farmer-type overalls. They are cut for more arm movement.
I am willing to bet Vegas money it was a painter.
You should totally get in contact with someone, because you might be onto something.
Hey I just noticed that after I read your comment. I'd definitely try to contact them to have that checked out. That definitely looks like a painter's outfit.
Also looks to me like their hair is in a bun. With estimated height at 5'3"-5'5", is it possible this is a woman? Possibly one of two people involved, the female possibly able to have Jennifer let her guard down for a male to then abduct her, then the woman gets rid of the car?
Maybe you should try to get in touch with her family. I mean they have phone numbers and websites plastered all over their vehicle, they clearly want people with any info or ideas to get in touch.
2 Suspects had just renovated her apartment the week before she went missing. PLEASE reach out to them if you can. I just came from a longer docu on her. They had their eyes on 2 (especially the 1) conatracters/workers for sometime. It can't hurt.
Bruh how TF does someone use a police fine as an alibi but it can't be confirmed? Wtf
@Pappy Chulo that's illegal and what they were doing tickets do not work that way. You have to go to the court and do the paperwork for it that didn't happen. That guy is definitely guilty
@Pappy Chulo how is that even legal?
brilliant question... surely if it doesn't check out its worth another look?!!!
@@pinkpugginz it explains why the cops would claim he checked out too so that they wouldn't be tied up in this for their clear negligence
Also what kind of traffic ticket would delay you 4 hours in getting to work?
The comment made by the coworker about her being eaten by alligators - how can it be that that wasn't pursued any further? Certainly that coworker would have remained a person of interest in a case where there literally are no others.
@Barbs H444 They were never able to confirm the ticket alibi.
I wonder what that coworkers height was. The FBI said the guy in the footage, his height was 5'3-5'5. The fact that he made that comment, just happened to be late for work that same day and was never required to submit proof of his ticket (doesn't seem like that'd be hard to check) is baffling..
@@Unibot47 Yes, it seems like they would verify that mysterious ticket alibi and then act accordingly. That said, the comment about the alligators, as repulsive as it is, is the sort of thing that I can easily imagine a lot of wannabe jokesters saying in an attempt at dark humor. Even more so considering he was rejected.
@@Unibot47 yes, absolutely, totally agree with you, what's wrong with law enforcement, extremely lazy

Bad enough to have to endure this but to have a clue so close. It has to be beyond maddening.
This is so terrible to see how her family never gives up.They really loved her.
I’ve never heard of the family of a missing person having to sign a contract releasing the law enforcement from having to continue searching. Bizarre!!

It had to of been someone at her apartment complex. They drove her car just far enough to be able to walk back.
Or they were waiting at her apartment for her to come out but didn't live there.
they could have parked their car somewhere around the complex tho
This would also explain why the police dog walked from where the car was, all the way back to the apartment! It was tracing the scent of the man that left the car, and must have walked back to the apartment complex. If it was the construction workers, it makes perfect sense that if they took her into the white van that was parked next to her car at the complex, they wouldn’t want to leave her car there, leading investigators to focus solely on those around her apartment, like the construction workers! Not to mention the height of the guy, and what he’s wearing. 5’3 and 5’5, that’s really short for a male, it’s average height for Mexicans tho (not racist, Mexican family, they’re all super short lol) Too much points toward them. Also supports the multiple abductor theory, several of them could have taken her and done what they did. If this is true. There’s almost no hope of a solve on this one.
Chaz Faucher no chance it was a Mexican. The construction crew were all tall
It had to be someone that knew her. Because if they would have gotten her into her vehicle how would they have done that? If somebody was trying to abduct her I'm sure she would have screamed and people would have seen it. She opened the door to them she knew them and we're familiar with them. Wouldn't doubt if it was a co-worker an ex or a friend of a friend

It's a coworker or those workers around the corner.
they did zoom in on him but no evidence is no evidence 😕 they eliminated him as a suspect. the cops will tell you though that it doesnt mean he didnt do it.
I wonder if he is between 5'3 and 5'5 with a stupid looking bowl haircut.
I was thinking the same thing. I should hope that they looked at him from the side and compared the back of his haircut to what's visible on the security footage..

These disappearances hurt more than murders because you just don't know what happened to her or where she is. Just heartbreaking thinking about what the family and friends must have gone through.
Yes. Someone in my family was murdered and as horrific as it was for my family at least we know what happened. To constantly wonder if a loved one is still alive. I can't imagine what kind of terrible thoughts run through the families' mind.
I feel so sorry for her parents. I couldn’t imagine how frustrated they are. I have listen to so many podcasts about this case, I pray one day there will be justice for Jennifer.
So we have cameras to see the rings on Saturn but almost all security cameras are trash!
You also need that storage capacity for high res cameras. If there wasn't a fence the camera quality would have been fine. It is really frustrating that the frame rate, the speed of the guy and the fence poles matched up. (The quality of the first camera footage was indeed trash)

When ya mentioned that she may have had a stalker... but that she had been out of town for the weekend, it made me think. So, she does have a stalker, she leaves for vacation, which probably stressed the stalker out. Then the stalker may have built up the courage and made the plans while she was gone. As soon as she gets back stalker is like, now or never, I’m finally going to do it. And then Monday morning the stalker does it.
Could be. Plausible psychology.

Missing adult cases are always difficult because so many of them are "allowed" to disappear and cops don't always listen when family members are clearly telling them, "this is not normal." I know it's not possible for cops to jump on every single case that comes up, but they could at least do ALL of their due diligence when they take a case.
Keyoka
Agree! And I come from a cop family. Your comment is spot on though.
Cops are either dishonest lying sacks of shit or they are incompetent stupid fucks. Or both.
you young people, so silly. don't you pay attention? politicly there is a problem between the good guys and the cops. the supreme court has proclaimed that there is absolutely nothing that police have to do to "protect and or serve" us. they can just watch and then make a report, or not if they want.
I'm no fan of law enforcement officials, but if there's no leads, what should they do? Aren't a low % of crimes solved? If they worked on all of these unsolved cases with the fervor you guys want, we need to hire a lot more of them
True. I have a family member missing.
Can you imagine if she is still alive held somewhere hearing that no one is looking anymore in regards to law enforcement.......
Oh wow! Yeah that is an unimaginable thought 😢
It's so hard to keep searching when you don't have any new information
rob burdack The police can’t keep investigating when they have zero evidence unfortunately. I feel terrible for her parents and bad for the police too. Must be horrible knowing you can’t solve something.
If she was still alive being held somewhere, I point to South America. Specifically Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. It's unlikely she would be a simple prisoner, they would make her "work" for her life. Make it worth their while. Sick fucks.

I can never seem to shake this case either. Missing person cases are so horrible. Yes, that camera footage is just cruel. I can't imagine being an investigator or one of Jennifer's loved ones seeing that footage, so close, yet nothing.
I wonder if they interviewed the maintenance at the apartments? This sounds a lot like another case where a woman disappeared and there were no leads for years until the cold case detective re-interviewed the maintenance guy. His story changed. He had access to her condo and while she vacationed and when she returned he abducted her. The case was solved and it was the maintenance guy.
Have they checked people in her building? The walls of her building? The building manager? The dog led them right there. Her stalker could have been in the building. Seems like the best starting point.
Or they could've simply traveled to her apartment.
Police were too stupid and lazy to look for evidence in the empty buildings of the complex. The dumbass detectives first assigned to the case did not even take notes
I think she was the only resident, at least in her section. Crews were still working, and she would go let them in on her lunch hour.
It was definitely a construction worker because the sniffer dog led them right back from the car to the condo and sat down in the grass by the bushes behind her building.
So the guy went back there to go to work after he got rid of the car.
Shows me he’s done this before and thought it through. They should be looking at every construction worker with a criminal history of sexual assault and SHAKE THEM UPSIDE DOWN until they talk.
there’s got to be some DNA in that car.
So clearly by noon she was already dead or taken wherever she was going to be hidden. Why the cops are not still aggressively pursuing this case is so disturbing to me that I ended up leaving that area. Of course it’s all over so you can’t really escape it. What a sick world we live in right?
I have been following Jennifer's case since the very beginning....The men who were working on the condo's that Jennifer lived in had keys to all the condos so I think it is very likely that it was one of them and thats why there was no evidence of a struggle in her apartment....It was also said that many of the workers were undocumented workers and many of them left the area possibly the country after Jennifer's disappearance...
Kidnappers and traffickers love weak immigration control
why do you mention them having keys as being likely the ones to be the abductors? if anything, it exonerates them because the abduction happened between the building and her being in the car (she had already left her condo).
@@MorganPhillipsPage , not sure where you got your information but nobody knows for sure when Jennifer went missing..She would always call her boyfriend in the mornings when she woke up and she did not that morning and her phone was turned off as her parents tried calling her as well...So to say she went missing while walking from her condo to her car is totally speculation. The only evidence we know for certain is there was clothes laid out on her bed and there was water in the shower and wet towels on the bathroom floor to show that she did shower that morning. What happened after is total speculation but the fact that alot of the workers disappeared after she went missing is a huge red flag to me also the cctv footage of the person that drove Jennifer's car to tge other apartment complex looks like a painter/ construction worker to me..He is dressed all in white..
@@danamaupin8318 she had prepared her work stuff for her meeting. didn't you hear that? besides lets break it down. either they took her before she left or after she left her condo, correct? only 2 possibilities there, so im sure we can agree on that. in the case of them having gone into her home (keep in mind, they could do this during the night therefore and this is an immediate argument killer because this would be the easiest and less risky way rather than wait for her to supposedly wake up and then enter), but lets say if they entered her home, then why got out of their way to relocate her car which was in no way related? if anything, it would only increase their chance of getting caught. but why would they, especially considering that nothing was taken at all. OR, she left her condo and was entering her car when this happened; instead of using their car which wouldve given away their identity, they use her car to carry on the method of transporting her. from there, they must now dump the car, as it is a dead give away if spotted near their property.
@@MorganPhillipsPage , I think they moved her car to buy them time to do what they wanted to do with her..The reason I think they came into her apartment is because her dad said she always carried pepper spray anytime she went anywhere. He said she always kept the pepper spray right beside her keys so she wouldn't forget it but when her mom and dad walked into her apartment that was the first thing her dad noticed was the pepper spray was on the kitchen counter..Jennifer had also told her dad that the workers was cat calling her making her very uncomfortable..She also told her dad that some of the workers were staying in the unfinished apartments next to her and she had told the manager...The dad also caught one of the workers in a lie..
This is the case that has never left me...out of thousands of cases, Jennifer's case haunts me. Her parents are simply amazing. They have been handed such an injustice. Thank you for covering this case.
@451 _ You took the time out of your day to leave a sarcastic, childish comment. What a waste of time.
You read through comments and make negative comments. Sounds fun!!!!
When they mentioned the possibility of human trafficking, i thought "i think id rather just be killed than be trafficked"
Absolutely
While it must be horror to be a victim of human trafficing im sure both you and I would fight for our freedom and survival.
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis Oh yeah I would fight for it, but if I can't get it, I would rather die
I can’t think of anyone who wouldnt rather be dead than be trafficked. What a sick world we live in right?
Need to give that footage to 4Chan
Within a week they will tell you everything you need to know
TheFixedOne Out you’re right.
Awkward Autistic the most talented computer people I’ve run into are incredibly individualistic and never want to have their research tasks forced by their employer/the government. Same reason 4chan located that secret ISIS base through shadow angles etc. while the army couldn’t. To be honest undercover government intel requests could be posted to have them figured out as long as smartasses think they came up with it
Cats
Love to hear more!
Truth
They’ve always got the sauce
Note to self: buy better security cameras.
It's a shame that businesses and housing companies cheap out when it comes to quality security cameras. Either they get the shittiest possible camera with resolution that looks like it was shot on a potato or they don't care enough to upkeep a decent camera and then damage/record over/lose footage.
and put them in a better angle
I have 3 wifi cameras in my apartment. 2 run at 720p and are battery powered and 1 runs at 1080p and is wired... all are 60fps and record in color. Cost me $80 when I bought them in 2015.
Butttt this was in 2006 lol. That technology wasn't even available....
The problem is when you store that footage and the higher the resolution is the more storage space you need. The camera of the parking lot was not bad but the frame rate and the pole rate of the fence were sadly the same in that specific moment. The first camera footage shown was indeed trash you coudn't recognize anything.
@@BillyMinnow sadley cameras not working at her complex
Insurance companies should enforce or regulate standards for security cameras, prior to a crime , not afterwards only to realize they were useless the whole time providing a false sense of security.
What does insurance companies have to do with companies choosing to install cameras?
@@scharf74 I had the same question
I actually think they provide a real sense of security. Just their appearance alone I think prevents umpteen crimes happening on a daily basis. And it is all about priorities. They figured that the payback from restructuring their systems to expensively (both in money and storage) record high-resolution footage 24/7 in that residential complex would not be enough to justify it. Better to have low-quality footage all of the time than high-quality footage some of the time
@@scharf74 Typically businesses can receive a discount if they can provide proof they have active CCTV on the premises.
Such a sad case. I hope the parents will find out what happened to Jennifer one day. The pain the family feels must be unbearable. I feel so bad for them. ❤
Never heard of this before and this is already an intriguing story. Thankful for your content.
Thanks for watching!
WHY DO YOU WATCH EVERY CHANNEL I WATCH!!!
Where's Nux
I live in the area where this happened. Photos and posters of her are still up.
Any channel that brings light to crime incidents, is GOLD to me.
It’s not solely entertainment for me.
It’s a reminder, maybe a “oh, I do have, I seen-“ for many. You could be a tourist, and have been through that town and have something you never thought would be important, but it is.
Thank you, Mike.
Thanks for bringing all of this to us.
I’ve watched so many true crime programmes over the years but this case always sticks in my mind. It’s just such a heartbreaking freak event.
I live in Orlando and still see missing person posters for her 💔
Damn.. that's disturbing
That's cool, that means people still care about her. She is/was a lucky girl to have such a loving family that won't give up.
Nancy Betters I worked next door to her at a pizza place when she went missing. All the west gate employees used to come in for lunch, one of our drivers that was there at the time is now in jail for another missing girl 🤔
@@Senaleb omg they should look more into that guy!! I hope they find her so her family can finally rest
SAD
The podcast "True Crime Garage" reviews this case as well, and has a deeper discussion and more evidence concerning the suspects in this case, including the ex-boyfriend and the colleagues.
Worth a listen.
Thanks for making these videos and giving these cases the much needed exposure.
You need more views. Your videos are so well made and respectful! Also love how you waste no time with dumb intros. So much respect for you man.
Agree 💯! I just found his channel a few days ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Just flawless. He's so much better than any media commentator. 💖
Mike: "Theory"
Also Mike: "turdy tree"
lmao
A turdy tree 🌳 🤣🤣🤣
Mike: "...for example her DVD player was left on the backseat -this is 2006 remember 😏"
Me: *glances over at DVD player* 🤷
Me literally. Also looked at mine 😂
VHS? Anyone? :D
😂😂😂 - I admit the DVD player - Guess I'll keep the tapeplayer a secret!
@@Aki-to I have a dvd/ vhs player combo! :P
@@Aki-to still got my 📼
I think that "fence" was in on it
I'm on the fence about that.
I hate you guys 😂😂
The fence did it
Probably did it in self - D - fence
*Stop it. Get help.*
The glance we have of the person behind the fence looks as if he's wearing painter clothing. Most painter companies require white working clothes.
Exactly....and that’s just one part of the evidence that points in that direction. The height of person in video/foreign worker, the weird vibes Jennifer got from them prior, the not speaking, but staring at and language barrier, them having access, the work van, them being present, etc., etc.
Also, the shoes. Low-heel, round tipped security shoes. Though they look quite well kept and shiny..
Yeah look for the guy wearing white pants and black shoes. I’m sure there’s on,y one!
I lived in Orlando at the time of Jennifer’s disappearance. I remember in the field very near where she disappeared, there were men playing cricket regularly. Most of these men were all white outfits when they played. Just a thought...
Hell Yeah he does. To me looks like a short guy with a buzz or bowl cut with like you said painter clothes on. I do side jobs with a friend of mine who has a painting company and that's how his crew dress. White shirts cargo pants black shoes
I live in the area where this happened. It was all over the news. Jennifer was such a relatable young woman, many of us could see ourselves or our daughters in her, and it was truly heartbreaking. I really hope they solve this one day. 🙏🏼💕
It's always seemed like the Kesse case should be highly solveable... It's insane that zero has turned up in almost 15 years! :(
Especially because I don't think she was killed, I think she was abducted and pushed into sex trafficking
When it really was a painter/worker at the condo the perp could by now anywhere from south america to up to canada. So many murdered people didnt show up to this day. Would she be trafficed someone would have seen her by now and had called in a tip
@@ginexkasachstan Most of the workers were from South America, so when the police tried to question some of them they were not very cooperative, and a few left the area afterwards. Thats according to Jennifer's Father on the show Disappeared. The guy on the video, from his size, walk and body type appears to be one of those workers.
@@ginexkasachstan An undocumented worker. My thoughts exactly.
@@Bacchus1983 I am in agreement with you two. An undocumented worker.
Congrats on 200k, Mike! So proud of you!
Thanks Jess!
Whomever took her knew her and knew her well. Most likely someone living in the same complex.
Whoever
watched her for a few weeks for sure, i feel more than one involved
Which is usually the case.
The Orlando Police Dept really bungled this investigation.They handled it horribly.
Did the police even talk with the guy that said "She's probably eaten' by gators right now" Like who would even come up with that? Especially someone that you worked with.. Sounds a little fishy to me. And the fact that he lied about getting a ticket. Did he match the guy walking in that cctv? Like i feel like they just brushed off some possible leads that could've went deeper.
Someone that open about their opinion on something sensitive sounds a lot like typical morbid tearoom chat to me. He most likely did not mean it as said. That kind of comment in a workplace does not match the thoroughness and self-control of someone who would clean the inside of a car to the extent of leaving no DNA or fingerprint evidence. He probably had a macabre sense of humour in his banter, or maybe that was his way of processing the news of his ex-girlfriend being missing. You need more suspicion than that to raise eyebrows
@@TheJthom9 It wasn’t her ex. He was her boss, and hitting on her while married. He is not the person in the video. Completely different body type. I don’t think it was him, but I certainly wouldn’t rule out his involvement either. He was late to work the same day she disappeared. And made that comment to people he knew were mourning for her.
He said “she’s probably been eaten by alligators by now” and the parents hired private canines to assist in the case and they hit on a lake that the police refused to search. Seems like a very probable place to look to me.
theirs a lot of swamps and gaiters thats true, but not the right thing to say for sure
This case makes me sad 😞 I can’t believe no one saw anything!! Her poor parents!
Amanda A same
I lived in the same subdivision when you disappeared. The cops had a suspect who abruptly moved. It’s hard to imagine how hard this been for her parents. Justice will catch up with whoever responsible. Karma will get you.
Mohammad Hassan 😂
Well, it's been 14 years and no karma so far.
Katarina Smith that’s bc karma happens in the next life not this one. If it’s this one you’ve got bad luck in then it’s sposed to have been something you’ve done in you’re last one.
I think🤷🏻♀️
Who was the suspect? Someone in the complex?
@@Hammett175 that fool Chino
if someone was stalking her, and she “disappeared” to the virgin islands, he could’ve freaked out if he didn’t know about the trip, and killed or kidnapped her when she got back. A fear of losing her type of deal.
It’s someone that’s been watching her. She has been stalked by this person she didn’t even know he was doing it.. Just a feeling I have!!
Angela Netherton I agree!
Yep they noticed her pattern..sad
Angela Netherton yes, and I believe it was one of the workers. I read somewhere that one of the workers there went back to his country after this.
"Hey we need some security camera, how many frames should we have?" "8" "8 frames a second? A little low, but-" "No no no, 8 frames a minute."
Security specialist: "Since we have to look at storage prices and how long the footage is saved for, after its initial recording -- how low should the quality of the videos be?"
Company owner: "Yes."
@@Aki-to that’s the best answer ever. I use that all the time.
Love how you do so many lesser known cases 👍
Jimmy I agree. I love watching these
All of them are very well known, unless this is the only channel you use to hear true crime stories, which is fair enough, but they've all been covered on podcasts, or other TH-cam channels
@@timdegraw1784 Yes, it's not known to you, that doesn't mean that it's not well known. I know absolutely nothing about baseball, basketball, ice hockey or American football, are those sports not very well known to people, or am I talking from my point of view?
@@scottishpaul414 not all of them are very well known and I do follow alot of true crime stuff.
@@JimmyB2772 I only listen to two true crime podcasts, and I've recognised every case covered on this channel. Most people have, a quick look through the comments will show that. I enjoy his presentation, but he definitely doesn't cover many lesser known cases
This happened 10 minutes from my house and I think about Jennifer every single day.
Every time I see her mom I just want to hug her.
Mike, you have by far my Favorite TH-cam channel! I recently discovered your channel when I was investigating a case local to me that you had made a video about. The video was so well researched, edited, and narrated that I instantly subscribed and have been binge watching your videos ever since. Some youtube channels have good information and some have fun humor, but You have discovered the perfect balance to delivering facts and whit. Thank you for your hard work! You are truly talented Mike.
Thanks for reading, Jess out.
There is a new tip and they are searching a lake in Orlando on Nov 8, 2019.
I've heard Jennifer Kesse case so many times and it always blows my mind
Seriously??
LOCAL NEWSNothing found in lake despite new tip about Jennifer Kesse’s disappearance
Kesse Cold Case
By Francesca Constantini | November 10, 2019 at 6:08 PM EST - Updated November 12 at 9:42 AM
BRADENTON, Fla. (WWSB) - A dive team spent days at Lake Fischer in Orange County last week searching for any clues in the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse.
A woman came forward about “something weird” she witnessed 13 years ago at that lake, located more than a mile away where Jennifer was last seen. WKMG is reporting new information that says nothing was actually found in the lake.
This will not stop the family from continuing to find out what happened to Jennifer and her father, Drew Kesse, says this search was seven months in the making.
“[The woman] had witnessed across the lake one morning, when there were no houses, a pick up truck had backed up to the lake and she saw a man get out and take out a six- to eight-foot piece, rolled up what seemed to be carpet,” he told ABC7 by phone Sunday
,😭💔
Kim Harrison Such a bizarre fucking tip to wait 13 years on. There’s zero guesswork there, a carpet roll dumped at a lake?? Not even a “looked like probably a fisherman but better safe than sorry?” If that was a real experience and not some gross attention seeking then keeping it after first hearing the news was incredibly gross.
Still if it was real very glad they came forward after all, the family deserves zero “I thought it was nothing but would’ve been the golden tip” situations. Those poor people.
The guy in the camera is wearing all white. A PAINTER
When they were determining the height of the POI, it was discovered that the footage is also extremely discolored. It's possible he could have been wearing pretty much any color.
I think it is a maintenance worker from the condominium complex. He would have keys to the apartment, and maybe worked at the other complex he ditched the car @ at one time or another. Knew there was no cameras there Her body might still be in the complex. Especially if construction was going on. Gain entry. Assault/kill her, hide body on grounds, dump car, return to work, finish concealing the body. Mystery solved.
I would have liked to have seen pictures of some of the suspects, you can see the back of his head and he had a pretty distinct haircut. Such a tragic story. My heart goes out to her family. Good work keeping the story alive.
@@lukejette Hell, it could've been the very same guy they called to go check on her.
The haircut reminds me of something skinheads wear a variation of actual full shave it appears to be shaved near nape and some growth on top. And the clothing although discoloured is too matched to be layman clothing. It's a jumpsuit a maintenance worker, car mechanic or painter.
I grew up within a mile of all of this and I moved to the other side of Downtown a couple years before it happened. The area of town where here car was found is terrible. My heart goes out to her family, this one has bothered me for years.
I have heard that. The place was only a mile from Jennifer's place so did Jennifer live in a bad part of town or something?
@@billblaski9523 word is that it was a sketchy area that was being revitalized. However, the apts where her car was found were in a much worse area than her own condo.
Thank you, Mike for covering this story. I live in Orlando, her picture and information is still put on the side of our city buses occasionally. It's a really sad story without any solid leads. Her family and friends need closure
Hey! There is a lead! A dive team is looking in the lake that has a connection to her
@@midnightgee thanks! When did they get the lead? I'm looking for the news now
Crystal Smith there is a video about it they started in November 8 of 2019
I love that the volume in your videos is constant enough that I can fall asleep to your murder stories 💚💚💚
Same
Too bad the ads are loud af
Same
facts! are people still watching youtube with ads?!
So true. I do the same every morning. I always end up rewatching videos because I fall asleep 1/3 of the way through.
Creepy coworker guy sounds like a good suspect.
Who in their right mind would make a sick "joke" about a recently missing person being "gator food by now". I mean, the last thing your mind would want to think is that the missing person is dead.
That alone indicates callousness, if not some sort of resentment towards her, or pleasure at the thought that she may be/is dead.
He's called Johnny Campos.
@MrThrib I heard he was obsessed with her
I replayed the part with the fence. It looks to me like the person is wearing a uniform. The kind painters, janitors wear. They are also wearing what looks to me like work boots.
Me too, but long legged like a woman.
My favorite little 🌲 boy

🤣🤣🤣
Ha..... Cute :)
💩-teen
Twenty-💩
I’m wondering since the height of suspect was generally known, what was the height of the coworker or ex that wanted her..
I was thinking that also, I personally think it was him, perhaps he is a relative of the owner of that business, and they paid the cops to back off, and then later put up a large amount of reward money, to save face
great question, and could he walk a mile without being noticed
@@LooseCan88 probley didnt walk far mates in on it waiting just past railings
@@juliehay The company she worked for was very large, doubtful he knew the owner very well. West gate has locations all over with hundreds of employees at each one. This guy was also her boss, and married, yet hitting on her. He’s not the person in the video, though. He was bigger, not so thin.
It's crazy to me that no one is mentioning how small 5'3 to 5'5 is. That's so small, it's more likely to be a female than a male.
Watching your channel blow up from under 10000 to over 200k has been such a ... tree-t !!
ok, I'll watch the vid now.
Haha thanks Beth!
I personally am suspicious of the security workers at her complex. Clearly they have access to spare keys, would know where the security cameras faced, could come up with a legitimate excuse to let themselves into the apartment without raising suspicion, and would be able to track her comings and goings.
Did her condos have security? I have never heard that mentioned
