ORLANDO, Fla. – A six-hour search in a vacant Orlando filed ended Friday afternoon in the case involving Jennifer Kesse, who has been missing since 2006.
Investigators with the Orlando Police Department and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement scoured an area west of Orange Blossom Trail between West Oak Ridge Road and Wakulla Way after receiving a tip.

Sources told Local 6 that a tipster claiming to be a family member of the person who may have abducted Kesse said Kesse's body is possibly buried in the field. Three K-9s alerted on an area, prompting a larger dig using heavy equipment.
"It's an area we're considering a crime area," Orlando police Sgt. Barb Jones said earlier in the day. "They're back there with equipment -- I guess it's a font-loader -- and they're going through methodically."
The vacant field is located about a mile from Kesse's condo, Mosaic at Millenia, where she was last seen.
