    ORLANDO, Fla. -

    The father of a Central Florida girl missing for more than two years is urging investigators to consider the possibility that she was a victim of human trafficking -- possibly forced into sex slavery, Local 6 reported.

    Kesse, 24, vanished from the Mosaic at Millenia condominiums near the Mall at Millenia on Jan. 24, 2006.

    Police found her Chevrolet Malibu in an apartment complex near her condominium but there have been few clues since the discovery.

    Kesse's father, Drew, is now wondering if his daughter was kidnapped and forced into slavery, Local 6 reported.

    "It's time we start to look in other directions," Kesse said. "We've done so much and really have come up with so little."

    Experts in the world of human trafficking said many slavery cases have not been reported.

    "Human trafficking as a whole is an epidemic," investigator Brad Dennis said. "And I think it's an epidemic that has been underreported for a long time."

    Dennis said human trafficking cases are being investigated in almost every state.

    Local 6 featured a 17-year-old girl, Shauna Newell, who was lured into a Florida house and held hostage by human traffickers before being found and rescued.

    Orlando police said Jennifer Kesse doesn't fit the typical profile since she was older than most victims.

    However, the Kesse family believes investigating the possibility of human trafficking is important.

    "We are going to ask them to move forward on that front," Kesse said.

    Anyone with information on Kesse's case is urged to call the Orlando Police Department or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
