ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Officers performed a grid search in a wooded area Thursday afternoon after the car of a missing Orlando woman was found parked at a condominium complex hours earlier, according to police.
Investigators said Jennifer Kesse, 24, did not show up for work at Westgate Resorts in Ocoee, Fla., Tuesday morning.
Family and friends were immediately concerned because Kesse can always be reached by phone or by her family. Kesse's family has tried to call her cell phone, but calls are immediately sent to voice mail.
Thursday, about 15 officers went into a wooded area between where the car was located and where Kesse vanished at the Mosaic at Millenia condominiums.
"As we concluded that search, she was not located in that wooded area," Orlando police Sgt. Barbara Jones said.
Earlier, Kesse's 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was found abandoned at the corner of Texas and Americana at the Huntington on the Green apartment complex.
Officers responded to the car and did not find a person inside the vehicle, Jones said.
It was not known how long the car was parked at the condo, Local 6 News reported.
Detectives were going door to door asking residents if they had any information about the woman or the car.
Jones did not know if there was any surveillance video in the area where the car was found.
If you have any information concerning Kesse's whereabouts, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
