Jennifer Joyce Kesse (born May 20, 1981) is a woman who lived in Orlando, Florida, and has been missing since January 24, 2006.

A graduate of Vivian Gaither High School in Tampa, Kesse attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando, graduating in 2003 with a degree in finance. She was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority; her former sorority sisters have led many searches to find Kesse.

Jennifer Kesse was last seen on January 23, 2006, at approximately 6pm, leaving her place of employment, Westgate Resorts, in Ocoee, Florida. That evening she made calls to family and friends; the last call around 10 p.m. was to her boyfriend. Jennifer failed to arrive to work the next morning. Evidence at her residence, including a wet towel and clothes laid out, indicate that Jennifer was at home the morning of January 24.^[1]

Two days later, on January 26, 2006 near 12 noon, Jennifer's car, a black 2004 Chevy Malibu, was found parked at a condo complex approximately a mile away from her residence. Surveillance video ^[2] shows an unidentified "person of interest" dropping the vehicle off. Family and friends of Kesse do not recognize this individual, whose physical features are not made clear on the video.^[3] The FBI was called in to help determine the person's size and gender, but could only say the person was someone who was about 5'3" to 5'9". Valuables left inside the vehicle may imply that robbery was not a motive in Jennifer's disappearance.

A $5,000 reward^[4] for information remains available through Central Florida Crimeline. The case received state and national press attention at the time of her disappearance, but, although Jennifer Kesse is still considered missing and endangered by Orlando Police, FBI, Orange County, Florida Police, FDLE, NCIC, and NCMA, the search was officially called off on April 15, 2010. Full details can be found at FindJenniferKesse.com.

As of June 10, 2010, the FBI has taken over the case of Jennifer Kesse from the Orlando Police Department at the urging of police chief Val Demings. She remains on the FBI's Most Wanted/Missing List.^[5]

On Friday, May 2, 2008, The Florida House of Representatives unanimously passed Senate Bill 502, "The Jennifer Kesse and Tiffany Sessions Missing Persons Act", changing the way missing persons cases are handled in Florida.^[6]
