The parents of a missing Orlando woman are offering $10,000 of their own money for information leading to a person of interest sought in the case, according to a Local 6 News report.
Jennifer Kesse, 24, has been missing from Orlando since January.

The new reward is not associated with Crimeline or police, and phoned tips about the person of interest will go directly to the Kesse family.
"We are desperate," father Drew Kesse said. "We need help as a family. Now, the best thing we can do is to try to find this person of interest."
The family hopes the $10,000 reward and new phone line will appeal to those who may be afraid of going to the police.
"At this point, through the grapevine, I'm sure many people have to know who that person of interest is because people talk," Joyce Kesse said.
The Kesse family said callers do not have to identify themselves when leaving tips.
They also said they are not interested in prosecution, Local 6 News reported.
"We want our daughter back," Drew Kesse said. "We don't care if we ever find out who took her. We have to be honest about that. It is selfish."
The family has printed new fliers with their personal cell phone number for people to call tips directly to them.
The new tip line to the Kesse family is (407) 722-2162.
Anyone with information concerning her disappearance is urged to call (800) 423-TIPS (8477).
