'Unauthorized' Kesse Donation Web Site Questioned
The Web site implies that it has the blessing of the Kesse family and the "green light" from Crimeline to collect donations through Paypal, the report said.However, a Local 6 News investigation found that neither the family nor Crimeline has approved the site."The family has concerns about the motivation behind it," Local 6 reporter Louis Bolden said."It sends up a red flag to me as well," mother Joyce Kesse said."Tell me why," Bolden said."Well, where is the money going?" Kesse said. "Without anyone communicating with us, how do we know where that money is really going? I find it somewhat frightening and who would have ever guessed that we would be in this situation?"The Web site is the latest in a series of Internet problems for the family.The family is also dealing with the backlash of two "Jennifer Kesse" Web sites created without their permission, Bolden said.Both sites had forums that allowed so-called "armchair sleuths" to post outrageous theories about Kesse's disappearance."We are trying to find Jennifer and any side things that come up or side issues, it does make frustration for you," father Drew Kesse said.The family has been able to gain control of one of the Web sites."I guess the Internet grew so fast, so quickly, there probably needs to be regulations on these very same things," Joyce Kesse said.Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Kesse family may do so at any Bank of America location through the Find Jennifer Kesse Trust Fund.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
