Vanished in Orlando: The Unfinished Story of Jennifer Kesse

On a quiet January morning in 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse walked out of her Orlando condo and disappeared without a trace. Her shower was still warm. Her work clothes were ready. Her car was found days later, wiped clean. And the only potential suspect ever caught on camera remains hidden behind the iron bars of a fence - a faceless figure who has haunted this case for almost two decades.

In this cinematic deep-dive episode, we unravel the timeline piece by piece:

• Jennifer’s final night

• The eerie details inside her condo

• The abandoned Chevy Malibu

• The mysterious figure caught on camera

• Construction workers living feet from her front door

• The stolen master keys

• Human trafficking theories

• The stalled investigation - and the Kesse family’s fight to take it back

• The newest update: DNA finally discovered on evidence

This is one of the most frustrating, heartbreaking, and enduring cold cases in Florida history...a story that refuses to fade because Jennifer’s family refuses to stop fighting.

Victor Lustig wasn’t just a con man — he was the blueprint. In this Wrap Sheet breakdown, I take you behind the curtain of the wildest fraudster to ever breathe air thin enough to lie in. From selling the Eiffel Tower (twice), to outsmarting the Secret Service, to conning Al Capone without ending up in a Chicago river… Lustig’s life is a masterclass in deception, confidence, and the kind of psychological sorcery that would make most modern scammers look like they’re running a lemonade stand.

In this solo Wrap Sheet breakdown, we’re diving into:

• How Lustig staged a fake government operation inside the Hotel de Crillon

• Why André Poisson became the perfect mark

• The insane second attempt to sell the Eiffel Tower

• The Rumanian Money Box: a scam so dumb it was brilliant

• Lustig’s daring play against Al Capone

• His counterfeit empire and capture

• And the almost-believable theory he tried to escape Alcatraz as the prison chaplain

In this episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, Steve takes you deep into the unbelievable true story of Victor Lustig - one of the most creative, charming, and dangerous con men in history.

We explore how a short, unassuming man from Hostinné turned himself into a globe-trotting illusionist of identity. From card-table secrets to aristocratic aliases, Lustig mastered human psychology long before the term “social engineering” existed.

Then comes his masterpiece: selling the Eiffel Tower. Not once, but twice.

In Paris, Lustig forged government documents, bribed hotel staff, impersonated a deputy director, and lured ambitious businessmen into believing the French government was scrapping its iconic monument. The sheer audacity of his plan still baffles historians.

But Lustig didn’t stop there. After leaving Europe, he ran one of the most successful counterfeiting operations in the U.S., tricked Al Capone without getting himself killed, and invented the legendary “Rumanian Money Box.”

Ultimately caught by the Secret Service thanks to a jealous mistress, Lustig landed in Alcatraz - where rumors swirled that he was plotting one last escape disguised as the prison chaplain.

This episode explores the twists, illusions, psychology, and sheer confidence of a man who understood one timeless truth:

People will always believe what they most want to hear.
