The search continued today for Jennifer Kesse as volunteers searched for the missing girl who has been missing for nearly two weeks. However, police today are releasing two surveillance pictures that they hope will provide a break in the Jennifer Kesse case.
(Two photos released Saturday show a man walking near a fence around noon last Tuesday after 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse mysteriously vanished. Police would not say exactly where the photos were taken but said they were pulled from video shot in the area of Texas Avenue and Americana Boulevard. Kesse’s 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was found abandoned in the same area at the Huntington on the Green apartment complex on Jan. 26. Local 6)
The pictures show a man they’re describing as a person of interest.
Police say the photos were taken in the area of Texas and Americana around noon on January 24th, which is the day Jennifer failed to show up for work.
Police aren’t releasing much information about these images, but they say the man is a pedestrian who appears to be wearing dark colored shoes and a white top.
Despite the fuzziness of these pictures, investigators say they hope someone in the public can identify him.

District Attorney John Zakowski will evaluate the sexual assault allegation as a special prosecutor against Steven Avery. Another sexual assault?
“At this point, what we have to do is meet with the victim and then evaluate the case and then decide under these circumstances whether we proceed with charges or wait pending the outcome of the murder case,” Zakowski said. “If (Avery) is sentenced to life without parole, he’s going to be of no threat to the victim and the fact is you know proceeding with charges could expose the victim to a media circus.”
Meanwhile Steven Avery already faces charges in the murder of Teresa Halbach. Why was the man walking the streets?
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brown County’s top prosecutor said Friday he will evaluate an allegation of sexual assault against Steven Avery, who served 18 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit and now is awaiting trial in a woman’s murder in Manitowoc County.
District Attorney John Zakowski said he was asked to evaluate the sexual assault allegation as a special prosecutor.
The murder case against Avery in the death last fall of Teresa Halbach is being prosecuted by Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz because of Avery’s civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County seeking damages for the rape conviction that sent him to prison.
Avery was freed in September 2003.
Inspector Rob Hermann of the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department said the sexual assault complaint was filed in August 2004 and immediately referred to Calumet County investigators due to the conflict of interest in Manitowoc County because of the lawsuit.

DA looks at possible new Avery case
“I think we’d be looking at what is in the best interest of the victim, considering all the circumstances,” Zakowski said. “It may be a better route to wait to see what happens in the murder case. If (Avery) is sentenced to life without parole, he’s going to be of no threat to the victim and the fact is you know proceeding with charges could expose the victim to a media circus.
“That could be difficult for the victim and would really result in no additional potential time for Mr. Avery if he is convicted of the homicide.”

There has been many questions lately as to the goings-on of MySpace.com accounts. The latest craze of individuals, especially teens sharing far to much information has made for many terrible and exploitative situations. Such is the latest scenario out of Connecticut where “police are investigating whether as many as seven teenage girls have been sexually assaulted by men they met through the popular Web site MySpace.com.”
The girls, ages 12 to 16, are from Middletown and say they were fondled or had consensual sex with men who turned out to be older than they claimed. None of the incidents appeared to be violent, said Middletown Police Sgt. Bill McKenna.
He said it was difficult to determine the exact number of victims because some girls have been reluctant to disclose that they met their assailants online.
The social networking Web site allows users to create profiles that can include photos, personal information and even cell phone numbers.
There have just been a continual rash of stories like this where some luckily wind up being a harmless encounter; however, most turn out to be much worse. The concept that teenagers will accept as the truth who they are conversing with on the internet is shocking. The fact that it may not be a 16 year old boy but in fact a 28, 38 or 58 year old man and potential sexual predator just sometimes never comes into their conscious. The following are just some recent internet meetings that went too far with a complete lack of judgment.
Missing St. Paul Teen,Abbi Lee Welch, Reported Found
A 15-year-old girl who was reported missing from St. Paul and who police thought may have left to meet a man she met on the Internet, is home safe, her father said tonight.
Abbi Lee Welch was last seen at about 9 p.m. yesterday in St. Paul’s North End, near Rice Street and Lawson Avenue. She told friends that she met a man on www.myspace.com and he was coming from Kentucky to pick her up, police had said.
Missing Brittany Lynn Lovett, 15, Believed to be with Brian Agnew, 19, who She Met On Internet
The police state that they know the whereabouts of a missing 15-year-old Columbus girl, Brittany Lynn Lovett. She is said to be with Brian Agnew, 19, who she met on the internet.
Police Searching for 27 year old Jason Iannazzi and 14 year old Cheynne DeCicco
Police are searching for 27-year-old Jason Iannazzi of Watertown, MA 14-year-old Cheynne DeCicco of Brea, CA. Her parents reported her missing earlier this month. Where did they meet? The Internet of course.
Erin Nembhard FOUND!!!
A missing teenage girl, who ran away with a man she met on the Internet who then took her to the home of a known sex offender, walked into the Opa-locka police station Monday asking to go back home.
Monica Sharp, a 17 year old from Richmond, has been missing since Sept. 18, 2005
A missing Virginia teenager may be in the company of a man (Jeffery Nichols, 57) from Belleville, according to Richmond, Va., Police.
Sharp’s family and police suspect she may be with Jeffery Nichols, 57, of Belleville.
Then of course there is the tragic case of Taylor Behl: Taylor Behl’s internet blog Aides in the Investigation
All too often teenagers are using MySpace.com, Tickle, Xanga, Zorpia, MSN Spaces and providing far too much information for the world to see and having far too open a conversation with individuals they would never have face to face. The worst part is they actually cross the boundary of cyber space to physical meetings.
Teenagers please use common sense and parents beware; however, companies like MySpace do have responsibility in all of this as much as they would like to think they do not. The following statement was provided by MySpace.com:
MySpace.com said it was committed to providing a safe environment for its users. The site, which includes safety tips, also prohibits use by anyone younger than 14, though a disclaimer says the people who run the site can’t always tell if users are lying about their ages.
Funny MySpace.com, what would happen to proprietors that sell liquor if they took the same tact? They say they are 21, therefore I can sell alcohol to them? Hardly. If you know that predatorial practices occur then it is your responsibility to create checks that will create a safe environment. The law of unintended consequences is that sexual predators gravitate to these sights that are dominated by teens and those in their young twenties. Knowing that, it is your obligation to do much more than just ask if someone is 14 and take their word for it.
You have created the social environment, now control it.
