JENN'S CONDO
Jennifer's Condo
For the purposes of showing the layout, below are photos of Jennifer's actual unit from it's realtor.com listing years after the event.
THE UNIT: BUILDING 22
APARTMENT 2226
Of the 447 units in Jennifer’s complex, only 250 were occupied at the time of her disappearance. [70] There was extensive remodeling going on, including some work in Jennifer’s own unit. [70]
Drew Kesse has said that a full set of keys to everyone’s unit at Mosaic had previously been stolen. He also says that a key making machine with a box full of blanks was out in plain sight in the condo office. Jennifer and her dad had decided to change the locks prior to her disappearance but she delayed the actual changing of them due to being too busy. She intended to get them changed as soon as she felt settled in. [54] Her dad advised her to stick a chair under the door knob handle at night and she told him that she started doing that every night. [57]
Another woman who lived in Mosaic at Millenia at the time recounts a time when she heard someone trying to get in her unit with a key but a deadbolt prevented them. She later found out that a Miami realtor had been trying to show her unit to prospective buyers and had given her no notice at all. [60]

DVD PLAYER
Images of evidence found within the car is taken from a video in which police show crime scene photos to the camera.
“
But there was one item found that bothered detectives: a DVD player. That DVD player hadn’t been stolen. Asked what that tells him, Sgt. Brennan says, ‘It didn’t appear that it was a robbery. Didn’t appear that it was a car theft. It didn’t appear that it was a carjacking.’
“
TWO PAIRS OF SANDALS
18
Two pairs of flip flop sandals can be seen at the bottom of the front passenger side of the car. The darker of the two appears to be the same ones Jennifer can be seen wearing in photos of her in St. Croix with Rob. Her family has said she was in the habit of wearing flip flops in the parking lot to walk between her condo and her car so the pavement would not scuff her dress heels she wore for work.

The Car Dump Location
ADDRESS: THE HUNTINGTON ON THE GREEN
5176 DOWNING ST
ORLANDO, FL 32839
Huntington on the Green, where the car was left, is 1.2 miles away from Jennifer's condo. Realtor.com listings describe the Huntington as:
The community of Huntington on the Green features a clubhouse, pool & spa, playground for the little ones, and two tennis courts. Conveniently located; near major roads, shopping, transportation, and the Millenia Mall.
The Video
31
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
Note: The displayed timestamps are not accurate due to an issue with the camera.
The cameras took stills every 3 seconds instead of a continuous video. [36] Frustratingly a metal fence bar happened to be obscuring the POI's face during each still taken.
32
A DELAY
The POI waits 32 seconds inside the vehicle before exiting it and walking away. [15]
Some have speculated that the POI wiped down the interior of the car with a cloth during this time due to the fact that only one latent partial handprint was found within the car.
33
APPROX
HEIGHT
The height approximations made by the FBI based on the video are are 5’3” to 5’5”. [81]
34
LACK OF CONCEALMENT
The POI does not attempt to conceal their face and it is only happenstance that a fence bar is concealing it every 3 seconds.
35
DIRECTION
The POI is seen walking south.
36
CAMERA LOCATION
The security camera was located on the roof of the pool house. [49]
37
UNAWARE OF CAMERA
& GENERAL AREA
There is an alternate exit path (shown above) south out of the parking lot that is more concealed, in less view of people and cars and does not pass security cameras that the POI did not choose to take. This path is less obvious to a casual observer but someone familiar with Huntington would know of it. [52]
38
CLOTHING COLORS
The security cameras were approximately 30 years old, according to Drew. [35] The FBI found that the video tapes used with the security cameras were being constantly wiped and reused by the complex and subsequently the video quality degraded leading to almost all colored clothing to appear white. [51]
To illustrate this point, on the right side is two images of the same church burglar. Both images were taken of him on the same day, in the same burglary, just by different types of surveillance cameras. In one of the cameras, his red clothing shows up white and the differing tones of red seem much closer in hue.

Didn’t appear that it was a car theft. It didn’t appear that it was a carjacking.”Bloodhounds were called in to track any scent from Jennifer’s car. Brennan says one of those dogs essentially tracked back to her complex.” CBS News article Stolen Beauty
70. “Detectives discovered there was extensive remodeling going on, including some work in Jennifer’s own unit, and Jennifer had complained to her family that some of the workers were making her feel uncomfortable. Asked what she said, Joyce says, “They would stop and stare. …Leering stares is what she would say.” “Were these guys mostly day workers?” Van Sant asks. “It was large groups of crews that had traveled together. And many of them were staying right there in several of the units in the complex itself,” Wright says. In fact,of the 447 units in Jennifer’s complex, only 250 were occupied at the time, and workers were allowed to live in the empty units. But Brennan says tracing these people is “extremely difficult.” Police could not search all of the units in Jennifer’s complex because many were privately owned. They also couldn’t count on getting any reliable forensic evidence from Jennifer’s condo. “Anywhere from a half dozen to two dozen people were in the condo over the course of the first 24 hours,” Brennan says, explaining that that contaminates the crime scene.”
