I hope there is a break in this case soon, LE probably some info that they are keeping close to the vest. This family needs a break.

The man that authorities say attacked a 72-year-old woman as she got her mail is now in custody. Elijah Pellerin, 26, (left) was arrested in Marion County, where he is being held on grand theft and battery on a person older than 65.http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_local_orlandocrime/2006/03/suspect_in_atta.html

Disagreement leads to Kesse Web site changes
(UPDATE 1 a.m. It now appears the jenniferkesse.com web site is back up, and no longer forwarding to jenniferkesse.org. It does include a link to that Web site's forum. Also note the update at end of this post.)

A little odd cyberspace twist in the Jennifer Kesse missing person case. Tonight we noticed that a new look -- and a new address -- on the Internet for information on the case. Reporter Willoughby Mariano checked around and filed this:

Today the Jenniferkesse.com web site automatically referred Web surfers to jenniferkesse.org, which isn't owned by the Kesse family. According to Wayne Levitt, a spokesman for the family, the reason is this: Two people involved in administering the web site disagree on whether it should include an online forum. The .com site now being redone and should be back to normal on today or Friday.

The jenniferkesse.com domain was bought by a South Daytona Beach man, who gave ownership to Drew Kesse, Jennifer's father. The South Daytona man has been maintaining the web site.

Jenniferkesse.org is owned by Maitland resident Cheryl Matchett. She obtained the .org web site after people interested in the Kesse case started reading information she posted on a personal Web site with a different name. She says people posting on the web site said the South Daytona man was trying to make money on the Kesse's misfortune by referring the old site to someoneismissing.com, which would sell web space for $5 to people with missing relatives who want to post online about them. She said members of the Kesse family called her to voice their support for the jenniferkesse.org site, but did not know that jenniferkesse.com was automatically referring to her site.

We put a call into the South Daytona man, but he did not return a phone call for comment. If he does, we will post as a comment.

-continues-definetly a must read~

This seems to be the only place for updates on the search for Jennifer. Sadly it seems the momentum is slipping away

Let's hope the search on Saturday unearths some kind of evidence.

I guess most of you have seen the photos here;

Photo 12 shows the bloodhound following the sent back to Mosaic. I notice this is along a busy road. Also the LE boys are running to keep up so I presume it was a good scent for Bo. All this seems a long time ago.
I wonder why there is no news coming out at all. Maybe LE know more that we think and are trying to flush the perp out in a roundabout kind of way.
I hope so anyway.

Good morning All

The local news media has been totally silent on the 'Kesse case' for a whole week. No news - just nothing!

Last night there was a 5 second blip to say that the Kesses would be at the Winn Dixie shopping center for Child Watch's "Kid Guard" program - also they'll be at the Fla. Mall this week-end to pass out more flyers. Nothing about "an actual search" for Jen - just the flyers info.

This morning there was a bit more (longer than 5 sec.). The news included a new way for people who may be afraid to call "Crimeline" or LE directly to still contact them (and LE) with tips.

The Kesses have set up a private post office box so people can write and still remain anonymous. This is the address:

Kesse Disappearance
PMB # 103 - 125
5389 South Kirkman Road
Orlando, FL
32819​

Tips or suggestions can be mailed to the Kesses at that address.

The photos are not that great, they show the area of Huntington on the Green, the Kids Tag program and a lake behind HOG.

I remembered a poster asked, if any of Jennifer's jewelry was missing, it is stated here: Possibly wearing a diamond necklace with three stones which represent past, present, and future.

~note to 13thJuror, are you hearing anything at all?

Hey LaMer n' All

There was "nothing" on Sunday or Monday.

Today it was announced that time is running out for the 'big reward money'. The anonymous donor (Westgate Resorts, Jenn's employer) is pulling the $100,000. portion that they added to the Kesse family's $15,000. reward for the safe return of Jennifer.

As another poster (just above) stated - the date for someone to come forward with information expires on March 15th. (The Ides of March - if my memory serves..)

The news blips are reminding "anyone with information and interested in the reward" that time is runnng out.

Other than this 'mention' today - it's been pretty silent about Jennifer's disappearance. Just a short 1 minute film segment on the Kesse's appearance at the Kid Watch thing at the Winn Dixie on Saturday evening. No real coverage.

Feels a lot like 'cold case' status to viewers.

I'm moving to Orlando and spent the past few days in the area. EVERYWHERE I went, I saw Jennifer's missing persons flyer.

I was amazed at the amount of land in Orlando. I just could not believe it! I made a comment to my daughter about staying with me at all times, she's 12. I explained to her that if something happend to her in Orlando, there are so many places that someone could take her, I would never find her. Now I understand why there are so many unsolved cases in that area. It's scary!

I pray that the Kesse's can find some closure. I just hate to think of the amount of time it would take to search every part of that area. There are just so many trees, and lakes, and more trees. It goes on for miles and miles.

I'm sure all of the locals from Orlando are aware of this, but coming from South Florida, I was in shock!

When I lived in Sarasota I was amazed at all the outlying land that wasn't developed. I felt the same about Orlando. Maybe Florida needs to set out with hugh search parties and cadaver dogs and grid many areas. If not Jenn, I am sure there will be someone else. Like a blanket search.....if you will.

 

[13th Juror]

WKMG (local6) is reporting that there is another reason why the reward is being pulled on March 15th. There is a behind the scenes conflict between Crimeline and the anonymous donor. Several points of contention.

It has to do with the "conditions" to collect the reward. Donor stated that reward was to be paid ONLY if Jennifer was returned safely. However - the money was turned over to "Crimeline" and that's not how Crimeline operates.

Crimeline offers a reward if the information leads to an arrest even if Jennifer is not returned. The "donor" told local6 news that if Crimeline doesn't want to play by his rules then he's taking his money back.

Also while the $100,000. reward money is in Crimeline's account - the interest the donated funds earns goes back to Crimeline which the donor disagrees with.

The Kesses have said that when those funds are pulled on the 15th - they will raise additional funds from the public though it may not be as much as $100,000. All are hoping that someone will come forward by the 15th.

Whew! The plot thickens ....

Oh yeah, it is real easy to donate money for a safe return when in most instances that isn't the case. 13th Juror if you find out who the donor is please publish it. Just so they can get emails for their lack of compassion.

Hi Concerned

It's Jennifer's employer - Westgate Resorts

I believe I mentioned it in my earlier post (#423) before this last one. The "donor" wishes to remain anonymous but that's who it is.

Thanks again 13thJuror

This is so sad, just what the Kesses do not need. I would have never thought about it being bacause of something like this. It saddens me.
