ORLANDO, Fla. (Crime Library) — Family and friends of an Orlando woman, Jennifer Kesse, who has been missing for more than three weeks say they are confident she is still alive and that all investigators need is a break in the case.
Information from the area searches and from a special tip line (1-800-423-8477) has generated hundreds of leads, according to investigators.
"The police are very hot on something," Jennifer's father, Drew Kesse, told Crime Library. "We truly feel she's right here somewhere and she's with us. It's just that we need that one tip."

The most promising lead so far seems to be a grainy video image of someone investigators are calling a "person of interest" that was taken by a security surveillance camera on the day police believe Kesse disappeared.

The camera caught the image of what appears to be a man wearing a light-colored T-shirt, light—possibly tan—pants, dark shoes, and a cap walking past a metal fence near the swimming pool of the Huntington on the Green condominium complex, the complex where Kesse's car was discovered two days after she disappeared.
Investigators are being tight-lipped about the image, even refusing to confirm whether it is that of a man or a woman and whether the clothing is truly "light colored" or perhaps a bit darker.
"We don't refer to sex or race," said lead investigator Sgt. Rich Ring of the Orlando Police Department. "We want people, when they look at the picture, to call us whether it's a female or a male."
Ring refused to elaborate on the details of what led investigators to believe that the person captured on the video has specific information about the case. "It's an issue of strategy," he said.
Ring also declined to comment on specific evidence seized during the investigation, but he did say, "We do have information being evaluated by the FBI laboratory, as well as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement."
