November 21, 2006 For the love of Jenn
Family letter

10 months ago to the day, Thursday, November 23,2006,  was the last time we spoke to Jennifer.  Jennifer was TAKEN against her will from in or around the area of her condominium in Orlando Fl. sometime between the hours of 10pm 1/23/2006 to approximately 8am, 1/24/2006.  We, her family, continue to ask everyone who visits her website to pass on the message that she is still MISSING and needs to be found!  We truly believe that someone somewhere saw her either being taken, her car being driven by someone other than her or the Person of Interest the night of 1/23/06 till 1/26/2006 the day her car was found 1.2 miles away from her home. They need to step forward no matter how hard it is or who they may incriminate in this unthinkable act of ABDUCTION. We plead with anyone who may know any information during this Holiday season to take a step back and think if it were your child or family member who was taken, the emptiness we feel everyday and the horror Jennifer must be going through or went through for the past 10 months.

The pain is endless, though our pain does not matter, our hearts have a huge hole in them and our world as we know it has changed forever, taken by a senseless act and a senseless person(s).  This is not a crime against only Jennifer it is a crime that affects the entire Orlando community because it remains unsafe until the person(s) are apprehended and taken off our streets so they may not commit this act again.

If you have not already discussed personal safety, please take the time to do so.  Visit www.missingkids.com, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. They have many wonderful resources, 2 booklets in particular, Just in case….Guidelines in case your child might be someday missing and Child Protection.  A missing adult IS someone’s child no matter what their age at the time of their abduction.

To the person(s) who have committed this heartless and senseless act we say “You cannot break my (our) spirit you can only take my (our) dreams” from the song Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt. We will not rest till we find Jennifer!

Since so much time has passed we would like to remind you or inform you of the circumstances of Jennifer’s abduction and urge someone to come forward to help end Jennifer’s personal hell.  We also hope that this Holiday season you take the time to realize just how precious family and friends are and that they can be gone in an instant for many reasons, so treasure the time you spend with them.

We again want to thank everyone who has given us emotional support, prayers, kind words. The help from the many family, friends and volunteers who continue to pass on her website, who assist us with emailing the media for updates on Jenn.  For all the wonderful suggestions we’ve received to aid in our search for our beloved daughter.

Recap of Jennifer’s disappearance:

Jenn, as family and friends know her, was reported missing when she failed to show up for work on the morning of Tuesday January 24th, 2006. For those of us close to Jenn, we knew something must be wrong. If she was going to be late for work or a meeting she would call. In fact Jenn had good routines she and Rob, her boyfriend called each other every day while driving to work in the morning and would speak with each other every night before going to bed. On the morning of Monday January 23rd, she talked to her mother while driving to work, after returning from work she spoke with her father and brother, and  later with some friends, then she spoke with Rob by phone as usual and that was the last anyone has heard from Jenn.

She and Rob did not talk the morning of Tuesday January 24th. Rob called Jenn at work and went into her voicemail. When she did not show up for work, her employer immediately called us to see if we knew where Jenn was, we tried to reach her at the condo and on her cell phone and were unsuccessful. We contacted the management office of her condo complex, explained the situation and asked them to please check on her.  The door was locked, upon entering the unit they found nothing amiss, they then drove the complex in search of her car, not there.  We then began the drive to Orlando, calling Rob, her friends, the hospital ER’s, and the police.

On Thursday Morning the 26th, police found Jennifer's car abandoned in an apartment complex not far from where she lived.

Jennifer is a strong, fun loving, career minded and responsible young lady if she was running late to work she would have called which is why we all became concerned immediately. At no time had Jennifer shown signs of discontent with her life, relationships or work environment.
