Nearly two decades after a Florida woman vanished from her apartment building without a trace, authorities have announced a new break that could breathe new life into a formerly cold case. 

Jennifer Kesse, 24, vanished from her Orlando condo complex after leaving for work on the morning of Jan. 24, 2006, stumping both state and federal investigators as authorities raced to catch her abductor. 

“About an hour and a half into the workday, I received a 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 her to show up. Do you know where she is?’” 

“I want to know where Jennifer is,” Kesse said. “Dead or alive.” 

Anyone with information about Jennifer’s disappearance is encouraged to contact FDLE’s Orlando office at (407) 245-0888 or OROCColdCaseTips@fdle.state.fl.us.

In light of Jennifer’s disappearance, the Florida House of Representatives unanimously passed “The Jennifer Kesse and Tiffany Sessions Missing Persons Act,” fundamentally reforming how missing persons reports are investigated in Florida by requiring law enforcement agencies to enact written policies for handling such cases. 

“Until authorities finally put [Jennifer’s disappearance] together, hopefully very soon, we’ll keep working,” Kesse told Fox News Digital. “We keep moving forward with the authorities, hopefully to bring her home someday.” 

Fox News Digital’s Audrey Conklin contributed to this report.
