On January 23/24, 2006, Jennifer Kesse, a 24‑year‑old finance manager, disappeared from her home in Orlando, Florida. Her car was found about a mile away shortly afterward. Security footage captured an unidentified "person of interest" parking the vehicle and walking away, but the individual could not be identified due to poor image quality, a fence obstructing the view, and the lack of distinguishing features. The disappearance received both local and national media attention.
No arrests have been made, and Kesse's whereabouts remain unknown. In October 2025, her father announced that investigators had identified new DNA evidence and significantly narrowed the pool of suspects, and the case is no longer considered cold.
