The father of an Orlando woman who went missing five years ago has some choice words for George and Cindy Anthony.

Drew Kesse blasted the Anthonys' decision to appear on "Dr. Phil," calling it "a disgrace and an insult to every missing person and their families".
"The bottom line is they have no right to be advocates," Kesse said. "They have no right to take what I would call blood money."
Kesse's daughter, Jennifer Kesse, disappeared in 2006 from her condominium near the Mall at Millenia.
Kesse said that the Anthony's should not be a voice for the missing because Caylee Anthony "was never a missing person."

Kesse was incensed that George and Cindy Anthony asked the "Dr. Phil" show for a contribution to their new foundation, which is named for their granddaughter, Caylee.
"He's pimping himself so I can stay on top. This is what I'm willing to do. Would I take it? Hell no," Kesse said.
He said that confusion and public distrust built up during the Casey Anthony trial has made people more hesitant to donate their time and money to help find children and adults who are missing.
"I think they have done so much damage to the missing persons in this country. They don't realize the damage they've done," Kesse said.
Drew Kesse said he and his wife have never asked for money for their own foundation --"The Jennifer Kesse Criminal Justice Endowed Scholarship" -- that is maintained through the University of Central Florida to ensure Criminal Justice Graduate students become better prepared for their chosen field.
The Anthony's attorney did not return phone calls and texts for comment.
Kesse said he hopes that the Anthonys would move and start a new life far away from Florida.

| only known image of the person of interest in the Jennifer Kesse case |
This is the only known photo of the person of interest in the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse.
Detectives aren't even sure if the person of interest is a man or a woman. They're asking the public to focus less on the person's clothes and more on the body style or hair style. Police even canvassed salons asking workers to pay attention.
Jennifer Kesse did not arrive at her place of employment on January 24, 2006. Family, friends, and law enforcement were quickly notified. Fliers blanketed the area where Jennifer lived.
On the morning of January 26, 2006, a resident in the complex where Jenn's car was found watched the morning news and the story of Jenn's disappearance.
While taking his children to the school bus he recognized Jenn's parked car and called police.
Jenn's car was found 1.2 miles from her home. The car was dropped off at noon on the day of her abduction.
Video surveillance at the location where Jenn's car was found shows a suspect, meticulously parking her car, sitting in it for 31 seconds, getting out of the car and then he walks away.
It became clear the motive was not robbery, as items of value that were inside the car were left on the back seat. .
