There had been few clues revealed in the investigation of Kesse's disappearance until Thursday.

The Orlando Police Department released a video Thursday of a suspect in connection with the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse.

The video shows a man walking back and forth past a car police believe belonged to Kesse, and eventually getting into the car.

Kesse was reported missing Jan. 24, 2006 after not showing up for work and was last seen at her apartment complex near the Mall at Millenia, according to our sister station, Central Florida News 13.

The only clue police had released previously is a photograph of a man in a white shirt walking past Kesse's complex. The photo was taken around the time Kesse went missing but has not produced any leads.

Kesse graduated from Tampa's Gaither High School and her family now lives in Bradenton. Her 26th birthday is Sunday.

The reward for information leading to Kesse's whereabouts is $10,000, but that amount will be raised to $250,000 starting next week. Anyone with information should call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
