Almost two decades After a woman from Florida disappeared without a track from her apartment building, the authorities have announced a new break that could breathe in a new life in a previously cold case.
Jennifer Kesse, 24, disappeared from her condo complex in Orlando after leaving on the morning of January 24, 2006 and blended both national and federal researchers while the authorities racing to catch her abductor.
“About an hour and a half in the working day I received a phone call from her work,” Drew Kesse, Jennifer’s father, told Fox News Digital. “And they said,” Hey, Jennifer had a meeting this morning, it’s not like she’s to appear. Do you know where she is? ”

Kesse immediately tried to reach his daughter – trusting a family line that they would always answer each other’s phone calls – but her phone immediately went to Voicemail.
“I knew something was wrong immediately,” said Kesse.
Kesse and his wife, Joyce, quickly made the two -hour drive from their house in Tampa to Orlando, where they found their daughter’s apartment empty with various outfit choices on the bed.

“They looked around her apartment, shrugged and said:” She probably had a fight with her boyfriend, she will come back, “said Kesse.” They walked away. And that was Jennifer’s last chance. ”
More than a decade later, the family brought a lawsuit against the city of Orlando, Opd and the mayor’s office, referring to a failed investigation into Kesse’s disappearance and applying for documents with regard to the search.

Opd, the city of Orlando and the mayor’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comments.
The lawsuit resulted in the first successful request for records with an ongoing case, with the city handing over more than 16,000 pages with materials about the investigation. Drew Kesse has compiled a team of 13 members of the police – including former American secret service and FBI agents – to continue to promote the search for his daughter.
