A Florida hair stylist who police say used more than a dozen fake names over the past several years has been charged with murder in connection to the disappearance of her co-worker.
Kimberly Kessler, who recently has been using the alias Jennifer Sybert, was charged with premeditated first-degree murder, the Nassau County Sheriff's Office announced Friday.
Police believe Kessler is the last person to see 34-year-old Joleen Cummings alive, First Coast News reports.
Kessler was already in jail on a grand theft charge after video surveillance caught her abandoning Cummings' SUV in the parking lot of a Home Depot and then anxiously walking around a gas station as she waited for a taxi.

Cummings was last seen on May 12 leaving Tangles Hair Salon, where she worked with Kessler, who was using the fake name Jennifer Sybert
Sheriff Bill Leeper said Kessler was arraigned by phone on Friday and remains at the Duval County jail without bond.
Leeper said Kessler is not cooperating with investigators but he thinks they have enough evidence.
'I believe people within our community will be shocked and surprised at what occurred. This is where I grew up. This is my community. We all hear about cold-hearted, evil people who conduct heinous crimes in other communities all across our state, our nation and the world,' the sheriff said. 'But when something like this happens in your community, to someone you know, it affects everyone.'
Cummings, a mother-of-three, was reported missing by her ex-husband on Mother's Day after she failed to pick up their children. Police believe she was last seen alive two days earlier, on May 12.
Investigators said Cummings and Kessler worked together at Tangles Hair Salon in Yulee.
One day before Kessler was charged with murder, investigators released an audio recording of a police interview with a Gate gas station attendant who talked to Kessler the day of Cummings alleged disappearance.
The attendant told officers that he was working when Kessler came in and asked if he could call her a taxi. The man said Kessler seemed 'irritable' and told him that she had been out with friends and one of her friend's ex-boyfriends showed up. Kessler allegedly told the gas station employee that things went bad when the ex showed up.
The murder charge comes after police released surveillance video showing Kessler abandoning Cummings' SUV (pictured) in the parking lot of a Home Depot on May 12
After leaving the car, Kessler went to a nearby gas station and asked the attendant to call her a taxi
Kessler said she needed the gas station worker to call her a cab because she didn't have a ride home. He also told officers that Kessler talked about what effects meth has on a person's body and became 'defensive' when he tried to leave and go back inside the store.
'She didn't want me to leave her alone, like when I tried to go back inside and go to work,' the gas station employee said. 'I figured whatever happened it scared her.'
The worker said he waited with until her cab arrived. He told police that he talked to Kessler for roughly 15 minutes before she left.
Detectives also interviewed the cab driver who said he noticed that Kessler seemed irritated. He said Kessler asked him if he was a born-again Christian and that they exchanged phone numbers because she wanted to go to church with him.
Leeper said Kessler, 44, has lived in 33 cities in 14 states, including Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Texas.
Since 1996 she has used 17 different aliases, including one belonging to a 13-year-old girl who died in a car crash in Germany and was buried in Pennsylvania.
The fake names used by Kessler included: Christina Young,Pamela Kleiber, Melissa McKernan, Melissa Losy, Mia Stone, Jenn Lee Sybert Allen, Jennifer Seibring, Jennifer Marie Allen, Marie Sybert Stone, Christa Brooks, Pam Cleaver, Pamela Kleiver, Pamela Jean Kleiber, Jenn Siever Allen and Christina Melissa (Malissa) Brook.

Kimberly Kessler is her real name. Former FBI agent Toni Chrabot previously told News 4 Jax that the FBI will launch an investigation into each fake name.
Kessler's ex--boyfriend and the father of her child said he did not know her as Kessler when they were together.
'I'm not sure what she was hiding from, but this time she came to the wrong county and messed with the wrong people,' Leeper said. 'Hopefully she will never have the opportunity to do anything like this ever again.'
Authorities have not found Cummings' body, but did discover evidence at a Georgia landfill after Kessler was seen on surveillance video throwing a white trash bag into a dumpster around the time Cummings vanished.
'Kessler is the person who knows where Joleen is and, unfortunately, she has not provided that information,' Leeper said. 'We will continue our efforts to search for Joleen wherever we have credible evidence and our prayers are that she will be found.'
Kessler's next court appearance is set for Thursday.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
