ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sunday marks a decade since Tampa native Jennifer Kesse went missing without a trace. Friday, police and her family sent out a reminder. 

"We will never forget Jennifer, we will never give up our search to find Jennifer," said Chief John Mina of the Orlando Police Department.

"It's time for Jennifer to come home," said Drew Kesse, her father.  

Jennifer was just 24-years-old when she disappeared in January 2006 – last seen at her condominium in Orlando near the Mall at Millenia.

A very routine person, it took co-workers only a half-hour to realize something was wrong. Within two hours, her family and police were on the lookout. Her father hasn't stopped searching for answers. 

"Whoever has taken her, 10 years is a long time," he said. 

Over the years, police have ruled out several suspects. 

New in the case, investigators pulled off two large searches, one in 2014 and one this past December, but they didn't find Jennifer. 

They've released an age progression photo hoping it helps lead to finding out what happened to her. 

"Jennifer needs you and Jennifer needs the public more than any time before because we know more than one person knows what happened to Jennifer ten years ago. We know that," her father said. 

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
