Jennifer Keese

The Jennifer Keese case has long held my attention. I do not know exactly why it has enraptured my interest but it has since day one. I have followed her case from the beginning and I have not changed my stance since it first occurred on what happened to her.

Before I delve into what my thoughts are I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family for going through this drawn out hell. I noticed that as of January of this year the family is having to take legal action against the Orlando PD which is disgusting to me. The family's investigators have a right to the information gathered so far. Why not allow the family's legal team to have access? What are they hiding from the public? The family has a right to the files and information contained therein as it pertains to the missing persons case of their loved one. I pray no one in the department that is making these outlandish decisions ever has to go through the hell the Keese family has for the past 12 years.

This case has been polarizing since the beginning. A beautiful, professional young lady missing from her apartment soon after returning from a trip with her long distance boyfriend gripped the local Orlando area for months after the fact. Jennifer was well known for being punctual so when she didn't arrive for work and her boyfriend tried to reach her the coworkers grew concerned and checked on her. Her parents also drove over to her apartment and could not locate her or her car. It is believed she went missing after getting ready for work with the possibility that she was kidnapped from the parking lot since her vehicle was later found at a nearby apartment complex about a mile from where she lived which may indicate that the person of interest is familiar with the area.
My thoughts are this:
She either knew the kidnapper via her work or the apartment complex, such as a maintenance worker or someone working in and around the area in the weeks leading up to her going missing. This is NOT someone she would consider a friend but someone peripherally aware of in her day to day life. She may have befriended this person by being just a friendly young lady going about her life however this person took it far more seriously. I believe this person was very familiar with her movements and may have been aware that she had been on a trip with her boyfriend and when she would be returning. How many times have any of us told complete strangers our vacation plans? It happens to us all. She may have been friendly with someone that worked in her apartment building or at work in the maintenance or custodial staff and while in casual conversation she mentioned certain things and this person took it as she was being flirtatious and "leading" them on when she was only being a kind person to someone. This is a common thread that occurs far too often when someone feels scorned by someone else that was never a true love interest however the other person took it too far in their mind. :(

Person of Interest thoughts:

I believe it is a small, effeminate male possibly of hispanic or asian descent due to the photos posted in regards to the person of interest. The stature is that of someone of smaller bone structure and thin, The photos are unfortunately time lapsed where the person is between fence posts during the lapses so you are unable to get a good profile view of them. What luck for the person of interest but heartbreak for the family and friends. I believe this is the person that harmed Jennifer. Jennifer was not a tiny person but of normal size when in comparison to the person in the photos it appears she may have been taller and about or a tad heavier than the person that kidnapped her which leads me to believe she was either rendered unconscious via a taser or chloroform or some other aid the kidnapper had at his disposal. Some speculate that this could be a female however I disagree. This is not a females walk nor mannerisms also a small female of this size would struggle greatly with another female of this size. Also, I believe the person has a bun of sorts that is unlike the typical woman's hair bun. It rides higher on the head and more in the middle than a woman's bun. It also appears that this person has shaved hair under the bun area. (What are your thoughts??) Also, if you look closely enough you can make out the dark colored (black?) rubber soled shoes the person is wearing that look like industrial or workman's shoes. Also, the person appears to be wearing a light colored shirt with khaki or light colored pants. This appears to be a uniform of sorts. The local area is saturated with resorts, tourism attractions, etc that require their employees to wear uniforms for continuity in the community. I believe this person is in their uniform.


Here are the photos to reference:

Here is the video breakdown of the person of interest walking in front of the apartment complex after Jennifer's car was left.

Someone KNOWS something and is not speaking. This person has talked about what occurred and I can only surmise this person is either in jail on other charges, dead, moved from the area, or is known or connected to someone in power in the local area. It is also of note that I have searched some without finding any other missing women in the local area that are similar in circumstance to Jennifer's case which makes me believe even more it is someone she knew maybe not in a relationship way but peripherally. (What are your thoughts? Why?)
Which begs the questions: why not allow the family and their investigators and attorneys have access to all of the old records to include interviews? Why the secrecy? Why the silence until they are pushed? I agree with the family that something is being hidden or was mishandled in the very beginning which leads me to believe this person is known to the police or someone they do not want to mess around with because of repercussions. This is unacceptable as someone has gotten away with kidnapping and probably murder. :( This family has been through enough and it is time for the person responsible to pay for their crimes.

Again, for Jennifer's loved ones I pray for you daily that you receive answers and closure for Jennifer. God bless.
