Her current boyfriend was similarly interrogated, and his alibi was verified, clearing him of suspicion. At the time of Kesse's disappearance, her condominium complex was undergoing significant renovations, and many of the workers present were non-English speaking.

Kesse informed her family on multiple occasions that the construction workers frequently engaged in catcalling, whistling, and harassment towards her. Due to a language barrier, investigators faced challenges in interrogating many of these workers, and no additional leads concerning them were uncovered. Consequently, detectives shifted their attention to her workplace, initiating interviews with her colleagues.


A forensic examination of her computer indicated that a manager at her company had expressed a desire for a romantic relationship with her, which she declined due to her stance against workplace relationships. Although detectives conducted several interviews with this manager, he was ultimately excluded as a suspect. Both investigators and Kesse's friends and family remain receptive to the possibility that she may have fallen victim to human trafficking, although they consider this scenario to be less probable than others.
