Okay. She didn't show up for work today, totally out of character for Jennifer, so out of character, something's wrong,

Came having seconds Mccarthy and Jennifer were best friends since childhood. She was extremely safety conscious She was very aware of her surroundings. She carried pepper spray with her all the time. The reasons that she bought the place that she did was because, was a gated community with a guard on Sunday January, twenty second, two thousand and six Jennifer returned from a vacation to St Croix, with her boyfriend Rob Allen. My best friend said to me after the trip he's like oh you're in love- and you just don't want to admit it- they had been dating a year. You've got the bug you're all in even though Rob lived

Fort Lauderdale about three hours from Jennifer's condo in Orlando. We did the long distance, but after the initial day we started spending virtually every weekend together. On Monday January, twenty third on her way into work as a project manager for a time share. Company Jennifer called her mom change, shared every detail about the trip he was just really happy. She was at a cloud but that evening Jennifer spoke with Rob and conversation didn't end. Well, we had a disagreement, long distance taking a toll on their relationship. A little emotional saying I you know, I love made, I'm not with you and security. They spoke around. Ten p m Rob had no idea that it would be the last time he would ever

I hear her voice, that's just not something that even came in my mind. To unfortunately take things for granted. The next morning was when Jennifer didn't show up for work and didn't answer her phone. She was always on the radar with everybody. It was so out of character, for Jennifer to not respond. Her friends and family rushed to her condo. Probably on the road. Within five minutes, we were very frantic. Okay, call the hospitals again call the police again when they arrived condo in the early afternoon a building manager open, Jennifer's locked apartment. What did you see the first time you walked in her travel back? It was like she walked in the night before and just dropped. Her suit case right, where was the rest of their home? Looked like a maid had been there, except for Jennifer's bathroom

I'd, love Jennifer, but she's a little bit of a bathroom pig in the morning so make curling iron. All that stuff, all over the vanity wet shower wet town back in two thousand and eight Cassius told forty eight hours that, while the condo appeared to be an order, they did notice that Jennifer's purse keys and cell phone we're missing what you believe hope so flat ashore, and I think she got up for work as she one. We would ok, I'm gonna work. I have a meeting its busy locked the door of her doubt where industry, starting she your family, your blood. All over that afternoon, Jennifer's brother Logan began to question some of the construction workers at the complex he said, were uncooperative, didn't feel right. Did you, since somebody knew Cynthia one hundred percent,

At first, the Kazi say: police infuriated them by not taking their waters disappearance seriously. I'm like come on start to work, get to work police We did not believe Jennifer's case met the criteria for declaring her Missy. They kept suggesting that must have had a fight with her boyfriend and would be back Joyce use complained to me she's, like call them, I don't hear helicopters in the air but by early, evening when there was still no sign of Jennifer Police, officially declared her missing and despite evidence that she was at her condo that morning, police pursued a theory that Jennifer may have been abducted, like, before cell Tower data was analyzed and it indicated Jennifer was out of her apartment and not at home. Please captain.

in that gender for went out in the middle of the night and we're like you don't understand, that's not how our daughters brain works, but upon further investigation police the lies, the cell Tower data was misinterpreted and she actually wasn't out that night. She was the type of person who would. call her mom or her dad or me when she was simply walking from target in the parking lot and it was dark. We all along have felt that she was abducted in the morning, but police were very quick to shut us down on certain things as the hours went by the Cassie's panic became unbearable, they feared that time was running out. We have to find her as quickly as possible, because the more time that passes the less chance. We have it's going to be

using Jennifer's apartment as their headquarters, they began their own media blitz. You could go to any part of town, and everyone knew Jennifer Cassie's name, and they knew her things because there were posters there were billboards. Her face was everywhere: the searches were massive. There were hundreds of people that came out the community just rally I had never seen anything of this magnitude but still no one knew we're Jennifer was, as you can imagine, we were basket cases a. We were flippin out, then, the two days after her disappearance. I think that my heart stamp police found Jennifer's car panic,

sit around and discuss different ideas of different theories, but not having a concrete, solid avenue to go down to bring resolution to the How is the most frustrating part of this case right as the hours went by sergeant, Roger Brennan in here, team of investigators, looking for Jennifer Castle Chances, various that she would travel that she might be at forty eight hours interviewed him in two thousand as you are driving around the area around her complex you're trying to identify different areas, her vehicle may then Jennifer's car had been seen the morning she disappeared. A couple said they I'd swerving out of her apartment, complex at around seven forty. It appeared that somebody was fighting over control of the car detective jewel right

was one of the original investigators unfortunate that witnesses couldn't say which way the car went once it got out onto the surface road. Two days after Jennifer, vanished Orange County Sheriff's office received a call about Jennifer's vehicle. Being Huntington Almond, green condominiums, point one miles away from her condominium. What was concerning about this was the area was located in an area frequented by Jennifer. It's actually a complex, that's been were stolen cars were, would be recovered from you have that initial hope, like okay, we've found the car, it's only going to be a matter of time before we find Jennifer in an unexpected move. detective summoned boyfriend Rob Allen to meet them at Jennifer's car. When the police officer asked me to follow them and to look at the inside of the car and the inside of the trunk muslim was turning as far as what could you find? You know, despite being more than to hunt

miles away when Jennifer disappeared, Rob was suddenly a person of interest, I think wanted to open the trunk in front of him to see his reaction. If in case Jennifer was in there, when police opened the trunk, If wasn't there, there were no signs of a struggle, in fact everywhere they look. Everything seemed normal. This is decision. Your Jennifer's cars. We found it in two thousand. sergeant. Brennan shared evidence photos. Several. and relocated inside the vehicle, her cell phone charger, sandals and shoes. Nothing appears to be disturbed in the vehicle at all. It didn't appear that it was a robbery did appear that it was a car theft. It didn't appear that was carjacking and that car was found we jumped all over it,

ITALY started asking everybody walkin around. If they had seen anything the camping started, then then it got more intense. As the days went on, we eventually had horses and and helicopters and everything else up in the air. Looking around, we didn't come up with any solemn means of anybody who saw Jennifer, saw Anybody Parker vehicle here, but when police checks security cameras, it looked like they finally caught a big break. We have a film of the core being done. it off around noon. On the day, Jennifer disappeared, one of the cameras captured a person driving Jennifer's car he pulls into a parking spot next to the pool area backs out to even straighten himself in there.

sits in there. For thirty two seconds gets out walks away, never looks back. The phantom figure walked away in the direction of Jennifer's Comp, a wise beyond frightening. In my mind, was that person took my door and how fast can we find that person? This is the camera that that caught the person that far yet vehicle here, but to the castle. Frustration that person caught on that camera could not be identified. Apparently this video, when it films, captures every two to three seconds as its filming so

while you only see the subject on one side of the gate and then the opposite side of the gate and is blocked by the posts on either side of the gate. Technology then was not what technology is now. What are the chances of that happening, but it did seem that tape of Jennifer's car that was probably the worst moment like being hit with a ton of bricks and then also anger, just anger, because the person was so casual something really bad obviously happened, and they were just so casually dropping this car off like they were. You know getting home from work, the put it up pictures and we brought him out here. We were hopeful that somebody would recognize. Interest again

just the general appearance or the stature, maybe the hairstyle or some aspects of this individual. But that didn't happen. What does that image? Tell you of that individual front of the gate, it's difficult to tell. It looks like a man by the war by the gate and someone with pretty big feet for his height is what were the information we ve been getting in two thousand and eight detective right, and so, didn't Brennan analyze the surveillance tape with forty eight hours. What do you know about this person's height would done quite a bit of measuring and work with the camera angles and also had people different different heights by by ve come up with a height of between five with three and five foot? Five. This has been backed up by the FBI, who also came down and check out the figures, though the clothing looks to be maybe someone who is a painter or some type of worker. What do we know?

What's going on around Jennifer's condominium? At that time we know there was quite a bit. the renovation going on inside or complex the workers made her feel uncomfortable she just said. You know, there's a lot of workers here and they tend to like just stop when I'm walking by or going to my car and they just look common heading the investigation, many of the workers disappeared before police could talk to them. Some of the people. We're working on the property left. a lot of your day? Laborers are not here legally, so I think they were scared. Investigators went to check the security cameras at Jennifer's condo complex, but there weren't any justice security guard. Who is

post to log the names and licence numbers of visitors. However, the logs that we went through didn't appear to be complete. They also could count on getting any reliable forensic evidence from Jennifer's condo. It was never secured, Orlando police by the. I took a seriously. We had fourteen people in the condo and they said well, you ruined the crime scene, and I said you kidding me: they had no better luck with the forensics inside Jennifer's car. We didn't finding fingerprints on the steering wheel. Do you think the car was cleaned by someone possibly wiped it? These are valence. Video does tell us that there was about thirty seconds of time when the that person could have taken that time to wipe down the steering wheel, and view mirror or what have you, and what about DNA Rison, vacuuming samples taken from each side,

and the vehicle that were suddenly sent off to lab for valuation. But the samples were inconclusive named so to me, they dont have dna at every turn. The detectives kept coming up empty, and the case was going cold refused to give up on Jennifer. I refuse to let her be Jennifer see more photos from the case on Facebook, forty eight hours The there's just no other place. I could be today my crisis here in two thousand and eight second anniversary of Jennifer's disappearance, family and,

gathered on a street corner in Orlando. It's just that having like other difficult. Christmas stocking store, they held up signs John. The date Jennifer went missing with the desperate hope that stung, passing by knew something wrong It has been done and a person has been taken against her will and that's that's my daughter and she needs to come home to her family. Maybe the right person will see us detective. Joel right was still trying to solve this confounding mystery there were an unbelievable amount of man. Hours went into this case in

two thousand and nine detective Wright decided to take a fresh look at the case. One of the people he interviewed on audiotape was a former housekeeper at Jennifer's complex. The woman had not been questioned back in two thousand and six: do you remember a person by the name of Jennifer Kasey that turned up missing? Yes, I think he's when he showed her that security camera photo of the unidentified suspect she gave him a possible New Lee, she did look at the photo and sad that looks like Chino the housekeeper said. The phantom figures walk and hairstyle resembled a man. She knew from the complex named Chino, but she could not be sure it was him Chino was a name detective right had not heard before, but he learned Cheney

used to live in another building at Jennifer's, condo complex and was a former maintenance worker there. In fact, Chino had done work in Jennifer's condo just one week before she disappeared and that's not all learned a put just the name Chino into leads tracking system, and one Tipp did come up. Crime line Tipp had been received in the first week of the investigation. The Tipp was anonymous Adjusted Chino may have been involved in Jennifer's disappearance, but it's unclear if police had looked into it or talked to Chino at all. At that point I thought the investigation was kicking into gear. It was and hard to find Chino. He was serving time in a floor to prison for statutory rape of a teenage girl, a crime he committed two years after Jennifer DIS.

here I knew there she know had been arrested for sex crime and that was part of the devil, none of them as a person of interest. Detective Wright interviewed him in prison and asked him about working in Jennifer's and do the work the. How did you get into the color everything normal GINO was then asked about these pictures, the one that the housekeeper said may have looked like him. the guy one Is there any reason why somebody would say that An Chino is five foot nine taller than the figures height estimated by police, Juno's, very quiet.

If he was familiar with the case and he denied any of wrong doing Chino agreed to take a light, attacked or test he passed, and what does that tell you? They told me that he passed the polygraph, but I would never rule someone out just because they are It's polygraph right also re interviewed another maintenance worker who had done repairs with Chino in Jennifer's condo We bad about anything getting along. Fine everybody get off on regular conversation. Just letting us know what she wanted to be done. Are you there detective right, then interviewed the building manager at Jennifer's? to find out. If there were any issues between Jennifer and Chino or anyone

Are you aware of anybody that might have had a problem with Jennifer that work there or live there? No again the case stalled, then in two thousand and ten detective Wright was moved off the case as time went by the Cassie's felt abandoned by the Orlando Police Department. We asked the man for several years to make our case cold, because there's more resources available for cold cases, and they kept saying no per case- is extremely active. Do you believe that anyone realistically has been working this case in recent years? Now? in twenty sixteen, it had been ten years since Jennifer went missing. She was declared dead by the state of Florida

That was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, I stood in the courtroom alone, while a judge declared her deceased FED up. The Cassie's made dramatic move. They sued the Orlando Police Department to get Jennifer's case files at the time we thought they want what they want: the police departments files. I had I've heard of that happening in twenty eighteen. Landover alone became the Orlando Police Chief, although he was in charge during the initial investigation. He said: appetizers with the Cassie's. I can understand why they're frustrated. I can understand why they would feel that maybe an agency like ours has not delivered on what they would expect for. and to do g for alone, gave his investigators six months to work the case and when they came with no new leads. He made the

Then a decision to find release the files to the caspis after the number of years that we have spent trying to solve Jennifer's disappearance, I think it was time to also honor the wishes of the family. The family wants closure. We want closure, we want to find the person responsible for her disappearance. I think it's a win win. So these are just some of your daughter's case. Once yes, I mean we probably have at least three times more in boxes in all the Orlando Police Department handed over more than sixty thousand pages of documents, and stay seven hours, a video and audio to the cases, but under the agreement the Orlando p D would no longer led the investigation, so at this point in time,

Only people that are truly investigating what happened to Jennifer is us and our team. When you talk about challenge and invest geishas. This is the one Michael Tredah is the Cassius private investigator I'm looking through these sixteen thousand. Documents for something that might have been missed I, the Orlando p D, the FDA early may be even the F B. I who have had pot, send us investigation. He says when he reviewed the files. He was amazed at what police didn't do. There's never been one quarter back on us, yes, and who they didn't speak with. There's a lot of information that could have been developed that I believe, wasn't in the most critical hours of this investigation

Private. Investigator Michael Tarento says he has gone through the more than sixteen thousand page case file at least three times he's hoping to find new clues as to who could have abducted Jennifer Cassie. I always told the cats he's what I like to do with this investigation is put a puzzle together, one piece at a time. One of the first things he did was go back to the scene of the crime and speak. If the people who lived at Jennifer's complex, you were there at the same time as Jennifer Kasey did you ever meet her. I don't recall four really meeting her. She did looks familiar Colleen ass to only use. Her first name moved into the complex two years before Jennifer disappear

believing it was a safe place to live. We work eight, a community. We had a guard house, I would say seventy five percent of the time. Somebody was there, but she says once workers started living an empty apartments around the complex she felt uneasy. When I would come home from work, there would be a large group of men outside drinking and whenever I would have to walk past them, you know there would be a little bit of COM and search the lot of uncomfortable stairs. Every wasn't a great feeling I didn't like it. Colleen says she complained to the leasing office manager. He was apologizing by it and he told me tat was really nothing back. He personally do from the very beginning. There were so many things that I kind of cannot off that were red flags when Tammy, who also

As to only use her first name moved into the complex years later, she believed workers often entered her apartment. When she wasn't home, it was creepy things like my. There were four was tossed one time the shower was where there was, but rather than my closet and then Tammy says she caught a peeping Tom, and she believes, was a worker at the complex he was wonder if my patio, open the door and saw that west, but she says he fled in a White Van Tammy filed a police report and to this a she says, they have never found the peeping Tom or the White Van he was driving, then To read a spoke to a woman who did not want to appear on camera. The name Chino came up again that maintenance worker at Jennifer's complex the woman

William. The Chino often approached her in the parking lot late at night when she retired im from work and made her feel uncomfortable. How often would you socialize with him? He changed a wiki, but this woman, who wants to be called Ashley, had a different opinion of Chino. I remember him being fun and friendly talkative. She moved into the complex just weeks after Jennifer disappeared. He came over to my condo quite a bit. She says they never talked about Jennifer's disappearance. I always wanted to ask him. You have keys to all the apartments what do you think happened? That's a really hard question to ask somebody that sitting on the couch listening to Ashley says she never was suspicious of Chino until one nine months after Jennifer vanished when she knows suddenly disappeared and moved out of the complex in the middle of the night? He had the opportunity to tell me

It actually says at first she didn't reach out to police that on it for a little bit and it just ate away at me. So I did. I called the crime line back then and told them and a statement, but she says no one ever followed up with her. Why is what the women at the Mosaic told you important. I think it's important because it paints a picture that I don't believe I would have gotten from the sixteen thousand documents, there's nothing in there. That indicates that they were problems at the mosaic after Chinos name came up multiple times the. Team was anxious to talk to him. Gino should expect to hear from us. China needs to be spoken to again and despite telling detective right years ago, he knew nothing about general disappearance. The castle wondered if China was being truthful did,

We know more than he had admitted the last time police. Officially question Chino was back in two thousand and nine. Now we have some of our own questions, we'd like to ask so I'm heading now to his last known address where I'm hoping we can find him or Geno. I am Peter Vincent with CBS News. We agreed not to use his full name when we asked about Jennifer Kelsey Chino quickly, re iterated that he was innocent. Even did a lie. Detector test, I mean everybody knows for a fact that I had nothing to do with Jennifer Kasey. You had nothing to do with her discipline, not at all. Where were you the morning of January twenty fourth, two thousand and six to answer any questions for sure, and what about that photo taken by security cameras?

No, it's not do you know what this is? No, actually I don't you don't know you were the main its man there you solve workers at that complex. You don't recognize this figure. Not me. I'm worried it's okay. I have nothing to hide. I do not recognize that person. Do you know of anyone who might have been involved in Jennifer, Cassidy, appearance. Any believe me. If I did know anyone that was involved in that that kissy from would be no one as well. I met Jennifer Kessy, she was a beautiful person, she had no problem with me before we left and she no even agreed to talk with the Cassie team and in fact, weeks later he did, but there were no big headlines to Reta presses on. I want to do my best and bring Jennifer Kasey home to them. One day

After all, the interviews and reviewing the case file to reduce says he now has a new theory as to what could have happened to Jennifer Cassie she's, locking the door and never she's a in the. The Nearly fifteen years have passed since Jennifer Cassie vanished years of anguish for her family and friends, but they are determined to keep Jennifer story alive. Jennifer is a super funny.

Super witty person, very strong, willed and very sure of herself. She knew what track she was going to take and she knew how to get there. Jennifer is definitely the most loyal person. I've ever been friends with, or probably ever known after years of working for the Cassie's private detective, Michael Toreto, says He has a new theory as to what he thinks could have happened to Jennifer, based on interviews with people who lived at the complex. He believes that up to ten construction workers were living in an empty apartment just across from

at first. He thinks it was one or more of these workers who abducted her on January, twenty fourth, two thousand and six. What I'm thinking is Jennifer comes out. She locks the door. Of course. She has her back to the apartment behind her and then is abducted by those individuals across way across the whole: yes, she's, locking the door and never she's a common. She pro hopefully, was attacked them mediately upon exiting she's dragged in TAT, other apartment and that's the end, but to read a struck out when he tried to find those workers who he believes lived in the vacant apartment across. from Jennifer, and he says there is nothing in the files indicating that police ever spoke to them. It's impossible, to find those individuals

there's no lease, there's no list of names of who was staying in which apartment apps Lena. That was one of the most shocking parts of this investigation. as he continued his investigation to read a learned that ten months after Jennifer disappear. A person was seen dumping a rolled up piece of carpet into a lake not far from her condo. What's intriguing One. Your investigation is the men that were in the apartment across from Jennifer's were putting down carpet that Why it's a very interesting to me based on your experience? Is there a possibility? What this person through in that pond was her body? possibly for the past two days. Dive crews have been out on the water last year. Local police, came out with a dive team. It was a good enough tip

you see the actions of how many divers, but no carpet was found. This something that is haunting me. We need to see what's inside that carpet. the Cassie's have dedicated their lives and weathered dean, Miss financial hardship to finding the truth of what happened to their beautiful in four year old daughter, January morning in one thousand six, it's very very hard to move forward. The hole in our heart is forever there We have an answer. We just want an answer: Jennifer's loved ones hope this report will convince someone to take the courageous step of coming forward with information that could show.

All this heart breaking mystery, because someone must have seen something. I just think it Jennifer all the time who knows what would have happened if this heinous crime hadn't been committed, For me, every milestone that I've had without her has been like a tug of war with my emotion, if you don't getting married and having children and becoming a grown up and just living life just having her life. You know she deserved that and we just wish TAT one person. I know something in our land. There would just finally say it it's about Jennifer, it's not about us and just please think agenda for, The Cassie's are offering a fifteen thousand dollar reward for information leading to Jennifer's whereabouts.
