Hi everyone, it's Carter. Real quick before today's episode, I want to tell you about another show I think you might like, hosted by Vanessa Richardson and forensic psychologist Dr. Tristan Ingalls. It's called Serial Killers and Murderous Minds. Every Monday and Thursday, they take you deep into the psychology of the most chilling murderers and uncover what drives them to kill. Follow serial killers and murderous minds available wherever you listen to podcasts.
This is Crime House. Somewhere out there is a picture of the person who knows what happened to a 24-year-old woman from Orlando, Florida, on January 24th, 2006. It comes from a security camera. Black and white, a little grainy. In it, someone climbs out of her car in a parking lot, turns, and walks along a fence, never once looking back. The camera caught them over and over as they went. It should have been the brake that cracked this whole case wide open. One clear look at the person behind the wheel of her car. But every few seconds, right when the shutter clicked, a fence post fell across the frame. And in every single image, that post lands in exactly the same place across the face. Police could tell you the person was short, they could tell you the clothes looked like a work uniform.
They even shipped the footage off to NASA to sharpen it. And after all of it, they still couldn't tell you the one thing that mattered. Whether they were even looking at a man or a woman, what that face looked like, or who it belonged to. Twenty years later, that blur is still the closest anyone has ever come to the truth. This is the story. Of Jennifer Kessy.
People's lives are like a story. There's a beginning, a middle, and an end. But you don't always know which part you're on.

Welcome back to another episode of Murder Mystery Fridays, where I'm covering cases with questions that I can't get out of my head.

You just heard about the tape and the face no one has ever been able to make out. But before there was a tape, there was a young woman.
Jennifer Kessy was twenty four.
Who was Jennifer Kesse and what was her life like before she vanished?
She was careful and she was doing everything right. None of it mattered, because on the morning of January twenty fourth, two thousand six, she walked out of her door and was never seen again. What I can't shake is everything that came after. The fall starts, the years her case file sat untouched, and the Family that has spent two decades fighting the very people who are supposed to be looking for her. All that and more coming up.
At the start of 2006, Jennifer Kessey was 24 years old, and by all accounts, she was thriving. She grew up in the Tampa Bay area and went to Gaythair High School, then headed to the University of Central Florida in Orlando. She joined the Alpha Delta Pi sorority there and graduated with a finance degree in 2003. After college, she stayed in Orlando and took a job as a financial analyst. At Central Florida Investments, a timeshare company out in Okoe. She was good at it, too. In her first year, she was promoted twice. And it was paying off in a big way.
