Person of interest sought in ‘suspicious’ disappearance of Winter Park nanny

Person of interest

WINTER PARK, FLORIDA — A 56-year-old Altamonte Springs woman disappeared Wednesday morning under suspicious circumstances, the Winter Park Police Department said.

Police released photos late Thursday of a person of interest who investigators want to speak with about the disappearance.

Jennifer Fulford was last heard from shortly before 11:45 a.m. Wednesday at a home at East Webster Avenue and Golfview Terrace across from the Winter Park Country Club, Winter Park police Sgt. Garvin McComie said.

A steady stream of investigators came and went from the home Thursday, which is owned by Reid Berman.

The woman's husband, Robert Fulford, said in a Facebook post that she was to travel to Dallas Thursday to visit her newborn granddaughter.

"Her purse was found on the floor at her employer's house where she works as a nanny," he said. "Her boss called the police when she failed to pick up his son."

Forensic technicians were seen taking bags and boxes out of the home.

“I grew up here, and it’s really safe," resident Glenn Primack said. "I don’t know why someone would (disappear)."

Neighbors are mystified by the police activity and the notion that a nanny has disappeared along with her SUV.

“It wouldn't be anything normal for this area," resident Sheri Primack said. "That’s concerning."

Jennifer Fulford is of an average build, is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, and has brown eyes and strawberry blonde hair.

Police released a video Thursday that shows Fulford leaving a dentist office on West Canton Avenue at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts or the identity or location of the person of interest is asked to call Winter Park police at 407-644-1313 or Crimeline at 407-423-8477.
