MISSING AND ENDANGERED OCOEE WOMAN: TRACY OCASIO LAST SEEN LEAVING ORLANDO BAR WITH MAN ON VIDEO
Orlando, FL– 27 year old Tracy E. Ocasio has been missing since leaving the Taproom Bar in Orlando at approximately 1:30am Wednesday. (UPDATE: OCASIO WAS SPOTTED ON SURVEILLANCE AND THE MAN WITH HER HAS BEEN QUESTIONED)
Tracy, who resides on New Victor Rd, Ocoee, left the bar at “last call” and her car was found abandoned on Frankin Street in Ocoee. The homeowners on the property where the vehicle was found called Police saying there was a car parked there that did not belong to them.
Elizabeth Ocasio, Tracy’s Mother, is frantic:
“She’s missing. Nobody has seen her or heard from her,” said Ocasio.
“She goes there every Magic game, and she cheers for the Magic, and afterward, she texts everybody she knows and says, ‘Go Magic.’ Apparently, that didn’t happen after this game.”
“I honestly don’t think she would be going on her own. She was so involved in cheering for the Magic. She would definitely want to see the game tonight (Thursday).”
Orlando police will not comment if they consider Ocasio’s disappearance suspicious or if she is in danger. But they ask anyone who has seen her to call police at 321-235-5300.

Wonder which photo is more current?

The one in my piece Pam. The other about 5 years old
B
Are there any security cams around or in this bar or parking lot? Feel terrible for her mom…….hope she is found safe.
There are, but I am not hearing much more on this, which is odd.
B
ah…:( what a beautiful lady…what’s up with our world?
I am going to proffer a guess that lovely ladies (or any) should not leave a bar late by themselves, most especially one where she is known to be at for Magic games. I would like to know how she appeared to the other patrons when she left, etc.
B
Thank you Blink to my response. My daughter is home from college for summer break and she made a comment earlier this morning; “I would not have to worry if I was ugly”! We have taught her to be diligent, aware of her surroundings, and travel in groups! I cannot imagine what this mother must be going through….somebody would just have to shoot me!
I find it strange that there just isn’t more information out there for this gorgeous woman…but I am guessing you have the inside information, and for that I am grateful. Whomever you are Blink….there just isn’t enough like you. God Bless you for standing strong and following so many of these horrific stories as detailed as you do!
Ty Kindly, if you never hear me say anything else, tell your daugher never, under any circumstances does she leave a bar alone. We have to travel by 2 people, if you eliminate the opportunity you eliminate the crime.
B
Exactly B– and if her drink was left unattended for even a minute. Sigh
Blink: If I was a bar owner, I would have a policy (and advertise it) that all single ladies that attend the bar will be escourted to their cars at night.
i may be obtuse, but was she a cheerleader for the magic’s or just a fan?
fan
B
has it been confirmed of she ever went to the game that night?
ok Blink, i read the mom link and she didn’t go to the game. she goes to the bar to cheer on the team. i’m having problems with this entire thing. weather she went there with friends or not shouldn’t matter. apparently she was a regular there if thats where she went every game. the service staff or bartender should know her by now. i’m thinkin’ they’ve been questioned by now. i’ve been known as a regular in a bar in my day and was on first (and last) name bases with all who worked there. thats how ya get the hook-up on cheap drinks. 27 and livin’ with moms. there is nothing wrong with that, but sometimes a girl needs time to herself. maybe she just took off for a wild weekend? jeez now i sound like a cop.
Women that stay a bars until the last call are setting themselves up to be kidnapped and asaulted.
Blink is right, go in at least pairs or more,get home prior to midnight and don’t let anyone seperate you from your group. Choose a member of the group that does not consume alchol and designate them to be in charge of behavior and driving.
We live in an ugly society and all the ugly ones come out to prey on the unwary from 11:00 P.M. until daylight.
tx Grand- spoken like a true Grandaddy.
B
Excuse moi?
This woman was probably abducted while going to her car… It happens all the time! That, or she was drugged before leaving the bar and kidnapped from the parking lot. I’ve even heard of women drugged in a bar and dragged out the backdoor and stuffed in a waiting car… they act like they’re friends trying to help her. No one’s the wiser.
A woman has every right to drink as long as she wants in a bar, but there should be bouncers and\or LE at the bars to see that this doesn’t happen!
If you’re going alone… Arm yourselves, Ladies! If nothing else, get a tazer. I’ve been there, I’m sure we all have at one time or an other. The rules haven’t changed, nor have the tricks… in fact, it’s gotten worse. Owners of these bars need to be held more responsible. Many women who are abducted are visiting on the job, staying in hotel rooms and never admit what happened to them. Besides, the abductor COULD be a grandpa, no offense to anyone, on Viagra… and it’s simply not true that the pretty ones are all gone and all that’s left are the ugly. The most beautiful women come out AFTER 2am.
I hit the bar when ever I feel like going… which isn’t that
often and never pick anyone up. If I’m alone, I ask the bouncers
to walk me to my car and have given up on trusting ANYONE else
to walk me… and that goes double if I’m alone. Bars are dangerous ANYTIME of day and night.
Try not to be alone…
IMO:
She is in grave danger…
But, I believe her to be alive.
Look in Surrounding Cities.
As far south as Miami,
Make sure to search around Tampa Bay.
Look as far West as Houston…
Especially, New Orleans.
I’ll pray on it tonight…
Who do you think has her?
B
I have been looking around on line a bit. There are tons of idiosyncrasies to so many things. I can’t quite put my finger on anything that is just wrong but things are odd.
This girl drinks at a bar about eight miles from her home in another city while supporting the Magic. She disappears but her car is found about a mile from her home. The odds on her car making it back that close to her home during a random abduction are slim.
The house she lives in is on a lake. Anyone familiar with real estate values in the Orlando area will let you know that this big, nice home on a lake is valued at a minimum of $300k. Three years ago it would be pushing $500k. It is listed in the mid $250 range.
All of the residents of her home have English Elizabethan names except one. His name is Hispanic. They do all share the same last name. This last name is shown to be both Hispanic and Irish in it’s origins. Tracy is not listed as a resident there.
In her earlier picture she looked like a softball player. Her new look is drastically different. I do understand that people change over the years but it is a drastic change.
Her apparent childlike innocence and fervor in supporting her Magic is also odd for a single girl. I am curious as to the background of her fanaticism. Is their a connection that is so far unreported to the Magic? Is she known to be slow, dimwitted, or childlike in other areas of her life? Please understand I am asking, not victim bashing in any way.
Like I said, nothing appears wrong or bad in all this stuff. Just so much of it is a few degrees off kilter. Blink, I am waiting for your Ocoee locals to weigh in. Someone must know more about this girl, her lifestyle, etc. (Insert scratching my head and saying Hmmmm icon here)
Incidentally, TES held a SAR training seminar about 2-3 miles from her home. Talk about irony.
I researched the house, etc yesterday as well, so I can confirm what you said. However, she is indeed listed as a resident of that home. Was where the car was found “enroute” to her home? Who saw her last at the Bar? Did she leave by herself? Who was she talking to when she was there? Does she have a BF? Not speculating, but this distance is just as far as it would take for someone that had been drugged to be “out”. Who would she let drive her home? Who would she offer a ride to that said they live near her?
I want someone to tell me about her cell phone. OPD is notorious for clammering up when they should be talking. Sorry, but true, ask the Kesse’s.
B
I read in Orlando’s local paper’s comments section that this women was arrested 5 years for grand theft auto. Not that an arrest warrants her being victimized AT ALL. I just thought maybe she might have a past that could explain her decision making skills or perhaps an alternate conclusion. TR
TR, that charge was dismissed without charges or any other lessers. She has no criminal record.
B
Hey Blink, My page does not show her there by the name Tracy. I am sure your page is better though. The Taproom location she was at is only about 5 miles from her house. The home that her car was found at is not on her way home but not very far out of the way either. The articles I have read all seem to hint that she was a regular at the bar and almost adopted like the bar’s little sister. I find that odd also because every available male with a pulse would have been hitting on her when I was that age back in the stone age. If she did not have a BF it is because she did not want one.
You can count on it that someone knows her movements, who she sat with, amount of alcohol consumption, has access to what time her tab was paid, if she was walked out to her car and by who, etc. I am sure all of this information is in the possesion of LE at this point.
I agree with you that the new wave LE MO of sharing nothing with the public that they ask for help is enough to make you spit nails sometimes.
The Kesse’s… At what point does LE start to release some information? The longer they clam up, the colder the trail gets. I really feel for her family and those who loved her.
Ugh, I cannot even think about the Kesse’s today and maintain a degree of focus. That case is my achilles heel. Well, one of them. Anyone wonder why I am so into Roman metaphors these days? Odd.
B
According to a MyFox Orlando, she left the bar “with a man” who has been identified and questioned. No comment was made as to whether he is considered a suspect. Seems strange she should make it so close to home then something happened. It sounds like her car was left in a residential area–so I’m sure they scouted that neighborhood and/or ruled out car trouble. I’m suspicious of this “man” they have mentioned. TR
I was just stopping back to update that, I know, bad news. Somebody better leak that dudes name in a hurry
B
Your Roman metaphors is a mind trick. You have recently been all over a case where the Victim’s family is very old school strong Italian. Some stereotypes came in to play and your whirring mind blends up and spits out things that it is kicking around. Are you also craving thin crust pizza, stone floors, and Frascati?
Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.
LOL. Maybe.
B
Anybody know if Tracy is a mother? There’s a substantial weight difference between the two pics I’ve seen of her–looks like she may have been pregnant at one point?
Also, I wonder when she normally did her “Go Magic” texting….right after the game,or when she returned home from the event? It sounds like it generally happened earlier. This seems to indicate a break from her normal routine at the bar.I wonder if she was spending time with this man throughout the night?
I do not believe she is, and no records I found led me to believe she is a mom.
B
Do you have pictures of the man she was seen leaving with?
Obviously, if he says he doesn’t know anything…
She’s in danger!
Funny, Patti just posted something on the front page about Greece and you’re making Roman metaphors! LOL! She’s right, this is a nice website. Please post any new news, okay? TIA
Red Ranger:
I get the feeling that she is young for her age. Innocent and Lonely. Maybe the only friends she thought she had were at the bar and she met with them to watch basketball and drink beer. I don’t see anything weird about her… and I also agree that she was abducted. I’d check all the bar credit card receipts, first… then move on to the video. You need to look for a tall man, about 6′5″ conservative in the way he carries himself. Medium brown hair and a light, plaid shirt. I’d say he’s about 32-38 years old. He could have been waiting for her IN her car, too. I’d, definitely, look for fingerprints on the outside of the car, especially, the driver’s door.
I live down the street from where Tracy lives. the area where her car was found is NOT a good area AT ALL and is NOT a normal route one would take from Metrowest (where the bar was) to her house. My question is that did she go to someone’s house (maybe the guy she left with) before heading home? if so, she could have travelled on the 429 and that would exit her onto franklin street about a 1/2 mile from where her car was found. i drove to where her car was located today and my best friend and I walked around for 2 hours in that area looking for any signs of her. LOTS of abandoned and run down homes/businesses.. Her car was left by the traintracks - we walked up and down them… I think either she took the 429 home after going somewhere after the bar, and maybe stopped at a gas station right there and maybe someone got into her car and something happened then.. I also noticed that NO WHERE in that area were there flyers other than the tree where her car was located.. i plan to try and put some out tomorrow.
Maybe the police know if she used her ATM/debit card after the bar.. Also can they get the pings from her cell phone before it shut off?
Amy- thanks for posting this info. Any rumors swirling as to the dude’s ID? If your concerned about putting it out publicly, you can post it here and I will delete it until I can verify it, or not mention it at all and just run it down.
So Im clear, off the 429 this is the exit she would take to her house?
B
What makes you think the man is 6′5″, conservative, brown hair and a light brown shirt? Are you making that all up or did you read that somewhere? Just wondering. If you’re trying to guess down to even the plaid shirt, that’s hilarious.
Hey Scoop, I am not saying there was anything weird about her. I am saying a lot of things about her and her famlies life do not add up to totally even. Nothing I can place my finger on as bad or wrong. Can you link me to the information about the man that is 6′5″ with the plaid shirt? I did read on Fox Orlando that the man she was seen with on video has been located and questioned. I am sure the car has been processed as well.
Her car made it back to within a mile of her home. You can count on it that her abductor lives within a few blocks of the car drop off site or is connected to the area in a strong way.
Scoop, you speak as if you have some inside info. If you know her or her family and get some idea where to look just say so. The cavalry will show up.
Scoop- I agree, Red Ranger has cavalry pals, honest
B
Good morning!
I’m curious why her mom hasn’t offered up new photos (more recent, different poses) of Tracy to the media?
Why are they only using her drivers license photo which appears to be outdated judging by her myspace pic.
There’s no new information from the media and we still don’t know anything about her boyfriend, exboyfriend, place of employment, coworkers, or anything else that could help with tips.
hmmmmm……
I agree drumstick, way too quiet considering OPD caught her on video with a man they questioned as a result.
B
Was she a drug user? Not a “druggie” so to speak, but maybe casual user and had stopped in that area to buy marijuana or something else considered a less “heavy” substance?
Any more word on the man who was interviewed she left the bar with?
Hey Drumstick, LE is releasing nothing. The local media has not done an update since a few days ago. Is this girl’s destiny to disappear into oblivion with her final entry just being a statistic?
Hey Blink, If she was going home from the Taproom it would have been way out of the way for her to go to the 429. Note that there are many wooded areas, lakes, ponds and fields with 3-4′ tall grass in the whole area between all three of the locations we are discussing.
Well then, does that mean whomever dropped her car off dumped it to the closest ext off 429?
Any toll cams on that route?
B
When I was in twenties and single I was considered quite the hottie, I had a regular bar that I went to for the social aspect (not to pick up guys). Mainly because it did not take long before the regulars took their shot and realized it wasn’t going anywhere, they became more like brothers (protective). But still always had the bartender walk me out.
My question is did the camera’s show her walking out of the bar with this guy and leaving in seperate cars. She could have been following someone and he pulled in front of a random house. “Where do you live?” “I live right by there, why don’t you follow me and stop by for a night cap on your way home?” I can so hear that kind of bar chit chat going on.
I find the posted picture of this gal quite provocative….way too much skin!
The pic from 5 yrs ago was beautiful.
The poster from TX whose daughter thought if she was ugly she’d have no worries in these regards needs to let her in on the fact that often times beauty has little to do with it. I think looking provacative DOES!
This young lady needs a big dose of prayer as does the entire family.
BTW- when I say night cap, not knowing what this girl is into that could mean anything. Drink-Meth-Coke-Pot- who knows these days.
This girl does not appear to me to be your average girl next door, that pic is a definate pose; up against the wall, squatted down, not your normal miss innocent look.
I am in no way implying deserving, just maybe would be more prone to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Today’s update.
Drumstick, is that article very poorly written, or does it quote an officer saying “he’s an alright” guy, and if so, does that mean he’s a cop?
B
Hey Blink, if they were on the 429, exited at Franklin, and did not pay the toll to exit there would have been a photo snapped of the back of the car. Note that the 429 does go down to I-4 on the south end. I-4 has cameras in multiple places. Off the top of my head I can think of cameras around the 62 to 66 mile markers. Also around the rest stop at around the 46-47 mile marker. Also around the 38 mile marker. This would only be if they were heading toward Tampa, or God forbid, the Green Swamp. The 429 hits I-4 at about the 60 mile marker. This is about 18 miles south of Ocoee.
I think it is all irrelevant because I do not think they ever went to the 429. Just an opinion. If I was her my normal route home would have been Hiawasse to Silver Star. To get the where her car ended up, it would have been quickest to go Hiawassee to the Old Winter Garden road. I reckon there are tons of cameras along there. If LE is taking this seriously they have gathered some footage of her route. Incidentally, is that Mustang the car she drove to the bar?
I read it and I think its poorly written.
Also, the first thing LE seems to check now is the transponder for toll roads and cell phone pings. I do not know if she had a transponder but the Toll gestapo makes it lucrative to have one. They punish you with higher tolls if you do not. I have not seen any of this reported. I have seen little reported beyond “she is a Magic fan, She is missing and she left the bar with an alright guy”. They need to slow this info flow down. I cannot process it all at one time.
This for those that don’t know you, is smartass 101.
Astute lingo for, wtf is with the hush hush-?
B
Does it seem to ya’ll that nobody but her parents think anything is wrong? They are requesting cell records? I’m sure LE has them…don’t they? Did LE not bother to do much because they think this may be some stunt on the girls part? Blink, what up?
Who chose this photo to circulate of a missing woman? And why was this particular shot chosen? No one could miss that she’s in a squat with spilling breasts and WIDE OPEN thighs, looking into the camera lense with a satisfied smile.
Is this photo accurate in it’s portrial of Tracy Ocasio’s demeanor? If so, she’s an adult who is clearly advertising sexual availability.
I am just saying in words what this photo is saying visually.
This is not an image of a girl who faithfully reports home to Mommy. I am not saying she does not report to Mommy; what I am saying is that this photo tells a thousand words contrary to the story told by the mother.
Again I ask, who chose this photo and why?
I just clicked on the link (from #32 - drumstick)and find the comment by Tracy’s mother very odd:
“Please come home. We just want her to come home.”
I find the first part of this statement odd regarding a daughter that may possibly have been abducted. IMO it is a very direct statement to her daughter, followed by a plea. When I first read this statement I got a very different feeling about this entire case. I hope and pray that if she was abducted that she is found….quickly! Disturbed by the lack of information provided by LE in a possible abduction case such as this! The mothers statement bothers me though, and I am not sure why.
I do think that IF she was coming from the 429 (which she would not do as a direct route from the Tap Room, however if she pitstopped at someone’s house up in apopka or elsewhere) she could use that exit (Franklin/Plant st) to go home. There is another exit off the 429 north of there, however if she needed gas or a gas station she’d go to the franklin exit. there’s a gas station at the corner of maguire and Franklin which is right down from where her car was found. I would hope the cops have questioned the staff and reveiewed their cameras for any sighting of her (or her car which we still have NO details about for some reason). Again, not a route if SHE were coming STRAIGHT from tap room to home, but since right now we don’t know where she went afterwards (if anywhere) - i’m only speculating as a plausible reason why she would be over in that part of Ocoee. I am still trying to use my few connections to get some details, but haven’t gotten any - or any info as to the identity of the guy she left with….
Amy-
What are your thoughts on Toole? Did you know him also?
B
no i do not know either men, the man she left with is james hataway! hes been arrested for unrelated charges and that was on fox tonight..
Derrick, are you Tracy’s ex-fiancee? Regarding her “friendship” with Toole, she may not have known he was an SO.
B
sorry i got the sub part to this site from another site and thought you were replying to my last comment and which is on a different page?

Guy she was last with: James Haddaway. He lives a block away from where her car was found. her phone pinged that area at 8:30am. i’ll find article and link it
Its in my article Amy, that’s correct.
B
Sorry incorrect spelling above. His name is James Virgil Hataway
link to article:
http://www.wftv.com/news/19629035/detail.html
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Late Monday night, Ocoee police arrested the last person to see Tracy Ocasio. James Virgil Hataway was booked into the Orange County Jail on drug paraphernalia charges.
Orange County deputies will resume the search for a missing 27-year-old Ocoee woman early Tuesday morning.
Hataway has not been charged in Ocasio’s disappearance, but investigators believe he knows something that he’s not telling.
Investigators want to search an area near West Franklin Street in Ocoee because that is where Tracy Ocasio’s car was found abandoned outside of a home. She has been missing since last Wednesday and her family has posted fliers throughout the area.
One interesting aspect about the man police arrested is that he lives approximately 150 yards from the house where the car was found.
Police arrested Hataway at his home on drug charges. They also searched for Ocasio’s cell phone, car keys and wallet.
Hataway was the last person to see the 27-year-old. The two had only known each other about one week when Ocasio gave Hataway a ride home early Wednesday morning after a Magic playoff game.
Investigators say Hataway claims that Ocasio left right away, around 2:30am. However, cell phone records show she was in this area until 8:30am Wednesday morning.
Now, Ocasio’s mother fears the worst.
“I’m beginning to think something serious might have happened to her and I’m just praying I’m wrong,” said the missing woman’s mother, Elizabeth Ocasio.
At this point, investigators are only calling Hataway a person of interest. They did not find any of Tracy Ocasio’s belongings in his home. They also hope to get more information out of him before he can bond out of jail.
Here is James Hataway’s current inmate record
http://www.orangecountyfl.net/bailbond/default.asp?REDID={AD575B0E-5FA8-447E-B8CE-432A446BF855}&BookNumber=09025945&ID=5433015517885
yes but i realy shouldnt have put that, it wasnt necessary, sorry. im sure she wouldve done a little background check so to say on any “new” friends, from the time ive known her there has not been any toole around…
For what it’s worth, I got the feeling the “friend” side of the equation was on his side. If you read his comments carefully, he says he would text her and she would return the text “yeah”. I found his comments more defensive of Hataway. I would like to know how he knew Hataway was the guy on the tape in the first place.
B
Tracy and Hataway about a month ago and she rejected him…sooooo theres alot that needs to be said and brought up but i dont know if im the one to doso also some of these remarks about her picture are a little rude, just because pictures are taken doesnt explain anything about that person whatsoever
Derrick, can I reach you a this email? I have not seen any rude comments about Tracy on here, not on my site, if so, I will delete. This is a victim’s advocate site, I have written about Tracy’s case when nobody else would. I want her found. Hang In my friend.
B
Hataway also says she dropped me off then goes to say that they hung out, WELL HOW THE HELL DO YOU HANG OUT WITH THE PERSON THAT JUST DROPPED YOU OFF??!!
Derrick; it may be that one of the comments about the picture of Tracy which you feel is rude was written by me, comment #37. I did not write it in order to be critical of a potential victim. I wrote that comment asking specific questions; “Is this photo typical of Tracy’s demeanor? Who chose to publicize this particular photo? And why was THIS picture chosen for the purpose of the general public recognizing her?”
The choice of a sexually suggestive photo for the purpose of recognizing a missing woman is so unusual that it’s downright odd. The answers to my questions might be revealing.
You may have answered one of the questions. If you are saying that this photo does not explain anything about Tracy; then may I assume you are saying that this photo is NOT typical of her demeanor? If so, the answers to my other two questions have just become more relivant.
This picture DOES tell a story. It’s a sex attraction story. And if that is not how Tracy typically appears (in sexual poses), then a photo which presents a false impression of Tracy has been chosen to be publicized and circulated. If so, that’s not just odd; it’s actually misleading and wrong. That is what drives my questions.
Why was this picture chosen and who made this choice?
more than likely they had to chose that picture because her myspace page was set to private which therefor leaves them that picture im sure the person that made it was somebody that wasnt a true friend….like a few people are trying to do in this case..im not talking about anybody here so dont take that the wrong way. and im also done on any info on this story..
im leaning on the assumption that toole is more of a friend to hataway than tracy, just a thought…
Oh, ok, so this is her lead my-space photo, her ID pic which is available to any and all. I retract my previous statement:
“And if that is not how Tracy typically appears (in sexual poses), then a photo which presents a false impression of Tracy has been chosen to be publicized and circulated. If so, that’s not just odd; it’s actually misleading and wrong.”
It’s not misleading and wrong to circulate a photo which was self- published on a my-space page, as it’s the persona she herself chose to present on-line.
Let me say this, in the media, when someone is missing and endangered, it is paramount to get their pic out there, bar none. If people want to make accusations about a persons character because of a myspace pic rather than exercise concern for their welfare I cant stop you, but last time I checked having an arguably risque myspace did not equate to never coming home, ok ? This is not to anyone specific.
B
Hi everybody, just comment on JVM , there is another women comming forward with info about this ugly fella..she had given him a ride and he tried to strangle her..she wis alive, because the neighbours hurd her sreams…happened a year ago..
Blink, dispite your statement that you are not adressing anyone specific, I guess you are nailing me on this one and perhaps I deserve it. I am concerned for Tracy’s welfare and for the welfare of young women in general, though I see how my words in this thread may appear blame-the-victim-speak. We live in a hopped-up sexual climate with seemingly increasing numbers of human predators; I am concerned. It goes without saying that flurting, on-line or otherwise is no invitation to kidnapping/murder. I am going to be brave and expose myself to another potential whacking: A photo such as the one here does send an attention grabbing message of sexual availabiliy and may be prone to broadcast the loudest to exactly the most dangerous men. That this is her own my-space photo; honestly, I did not see that comming.
You did correctly read between my lines; and I am still mystified, why attract that kind of attention, intentionally, to any and all, on-line, considering our current dangerous climate? Come on Blink, posting sexy pics of one’s self on-line is a brand new behavior and it is dangerous. The press is frank about it’s danger when it comes to kids, but is mute on the subject when practiced by adults. So, it’s dangerous for 13 & 17 year olds but is safe for 21 & 27 year old women? Yes, I am concerned about this behavior, because it’s potential danger outweighs any other considerations. I am not advocating any legistration concerning this. I just want women to be self protectively smart about it.
I dont disagree with anything you said, and I respect you for “thank you sir may I have another.” However, you won’t get it from me, Im simply saying when it is the only pic available in an emergent missing persons case, I am not worried about whether or not this woman was at my debutante catillion. She needs to be found.
B
thank you b…
Oh my god, Liz, I heard last night on the news! This is Andy from Jack’s Aquarium and Pet Republic from over on Good Home Road. I know I haven’t seen you guys in a few years, but I’ve missed Tracy ever since I left that place, and I’ve always kept her in my thoughts. I was really upset to hear the news, and I’m hoping for the best for her. If you read this site, and I’m hoping you do, please leave a comment letting me know and I’ll get in touch with you! Let me know if there’s anything at all I can do, as I’m still in Orlando. I hope with everything in me that she’s okay!
Try to think positive and please get in touch with me here!
My thoughts go out to you and Tracy.
-Andy
Its very sad that all we have here to talk about is a suggestive photo about Tracy.. Its a MYSPACE pic! You know nothing of her character and if you did know her I’m very sure that you would not be talking of her the way you are. I am a personal friend of Tracy and I find it very demeaning and offensive to the friends and family to talk of her like that. Do you have nothing better to do with your life? Tracy is a beautiful, intelligent, soft spoken person with a huge heart for anyone who comes into her path. Its all very pathetic and irritating to hear a person speak of her in that way. And what girl do you know that is *perfect*? No one is perfect and she is a 27 year old who was prevy to something because she is a kind person.
I am very sorry about your friend and I hope you will take the time to review the comments where we covered this, and my thoughts on it.
B
ANDY - im sure that Liz doesnt get on here but ill let her know today when i go over there, thanks and take care keep her in your prayers!
Derrick, if you would, please give Liz my email address at Apebrains@aol.com and PLEASE have her drop me a line! Thank you so much! I miss Tracy and I’m really worried. I want to do anything and everything in my power to get her back safe.
Thank you!
-Andy
no problem buddy, ill be back later on to give some type of update more than likely for andy
does this code work on here? lol
nope
to red ranger
you are totally off the wall with the origins of this ocasio name. it is italian, from casi. her great, great, grandfather came from italy, changed his name to ocasio and married a diaz in the 1800’s.
also, are men “odd” when they support various sports teams, since you obviously think tracy is “odd” for being a fan of the magics.
what this has to do with tracy’s disappearance and where our family lives in orlando is a mystery to me. i am disturbed by the tones of racial and sexual bias in your post.
our family is going through a very trying time, we do not need people to write posts like yours.
joe and liz are the nicest people you would want to meet, they deserve your support at a time like this.
the entire ocasio family is praying for tracy’s safety and return to us. we wish to thank everyone that is helping in the efforts to find her.

Here, here guys. Would everyone please keep their bullshit to themselves? If you don’t like the picture, don’t look at it. It’s all that was immediately available for distribution. Tracy ain’t exactly conservative, so that’s what we’ve got. Try a little sympathy for these people who are seriously concerned about the well being of someone they love, and leave it at that. If you desire the catharsis of running your mouth to the point that you can’t control yourselves, find a friend and run it all you’d like. Please try to remember to never deprive someone of their hope, as it may be all they have.
Linda and Reynaldo, I’m so sorry to hear about this, and I’m doing everything I can to help. I work at a doctor’s office in Orlando, and I’ve got flyers on the check in desk here for people to take, and I’ve got three imaging facilities from Winter Park to Ocoee that are willing to take some for distribution that I’ll be calling today. I’ll be out hitting the pavement looking for anything that can help.
And as to quell your anxiety, I can only offer the words of Alexandre Dumas: “All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.”
Derrick, thanks again for the flyers. You’re a stand-up guy, and she’s lucky to have a friend like you.
You will find nothing but support here. I applaud your efforts and am praying for Tracy to be found.

red ranger, this is steph. i’m 25 years old, i live in pennsyvania, and i can give you a glimpse into us, the ocasio girls. we are all very similar in personality. we love to make, create, and build. i am a hardscaper, i also paint fantasy art and build cars. i look alot like tracy, small at 100 lbs, but strong and crafty. my favorite sport is football - my team, the eagles. also, we know how to look good when we want to. she’s not different from us, maybe just different from who you know. this is what makes us ocasios.
Steph, your post broke my heart. I am very familiar with your area. I grew up not far from there. I forgive you in advance for the Eagles part. Mark Sanchez and my friends with the J E T S will welcome into our new stadium anytime.
kidding, trying to lighten the moment if you will. I am working on an update on Tracy’s case as we speak. God Bless you and your family.
B
b , i don’t know you but reading what you say has been making me feel better. as far as the jets go - i love my man brett farve - could there be a better football player??? i think not!!
NO
Last year was the most fun I have had during football season in years! I bet Mr. Blink that Brett would be back out of retirement and when he signed with the Jetts I was completely unlivable!!
B
on another note - if anyone talks to my family, let them know we’re here - ALL OF US - from puerto rico - the entire usa - and brazil - we are all online 24 hrs a day - 7 days a week if need be. WE LOVE YOU, if you need to talk, call uncle freddy in P.R - he has our numbers.
i am exhausted with everything i am reading, learning, and the fact that everyone in your neck of the woods thinks the cops are wasting time. i agree, i called the orlando police and got a bit of a run around - they thought i was reporting a missing person, THEEEEN, all i ended up with was a voicemail. they need to learn a few things from the cops up here - we don’t slack. so, what can i do??? i really need to find my place in all of this, there has to be something. can i harrass the fuzz (cops) enough to get answers? or is that a dead end street? also, what about greg toole? anything on him? and james, is he getting harder charges, or has said anything, i found that he failed a lie detector test - “horribly” before he was arrested, so said. i’m hit with a huge wall of WTF. almost in tears in philly.
i don’t know if this will help, but i talked to my family up here - they are willing to keep a vigilant eye on my son so i can come down…….if i come down for a few days would it help? i’m an awesome hiker, i can post alot of fliers in a small amount of time. is there anything else i could do?????
i dunno steph maybe call them or something and ask
I’m Tracy’s great-uncle Ray from PA. I last saw Tracy (physically) when she was approx 13 yrs of age. we were at her grandfathers’ funeral, my eldest brother Joe. I loved her enthusiasm of life itself, just like my daughter Stephanie reflects as well. Though I’ve not seen her since, she, as is her entire family, always on my mind. Having heard of this situation has me worried fearing the worst, yet feeling that she may be captive in some bunker down there in the region of her disapearance. Yet, the proximity of a large lake (as I’ve seen from aerial photo’s) to her abandoned vehicle worries the hell outa me. We must let the Police do their job, they in turn must take this seriously, and treat it as it were their own child. Thank you to her friends, continue your prayers as she would do for you.
Mr. Ocasio, you and your family are among friends here in your time of need. God Bless.
B
i’ve been told by my family up here that they are getting alot of phone calls - i’m trying to help without ringing their phone. i work at dominoes up here and have an idea - we post fliers of missing kids if a member needs us to - i want to get in touch with the dominoes in your area and ask them from one member to another if they would let you guys do the same - let me know if you want to - and also what dominoes to call.
ps - the owner of my dominoes, rick , will support us if we have any problems
the fliers are everyone hun..and still being handed out to people also still being put up, whenever we drive by a place we know we put one up we go back and put more up!
# Comment by Derrick — June 6, 2009 @ 12:10 am
hmm i did indeed red and i was ok with what was said :-/ also STEPH i dont know if you know but i was the guy she was engaged to for 2years several months ago
# Comment by Derrick — June 6, 2009 @ 12:11 am
actually it was about a year ago
i did know that derreck, i said to a few of my buddies that i wished you two would have stayed together, i don’t know you but you seem like the kind of guy that would do well in our family. thank you for being here, and trying so hard. as far as the fliers go - i have two numbers for dominos - ocoee and orlando - just give me the word and i’ll call them. i’ll be checking this site everyday, before and after work
jeez im just speechless at the moment..
Yep. I have not posted everything yet
B
hey guys - i’m on a small break from work - i have to go back and should be home around 10 00 pm - if you have any new information can you please post it for me?? i’m working alot of hours to save money in case i get a chance to come down n help. thnx stepherz
My aunt is up there now with Liz and Joe. They are a family friend who my aunt has known since tracy was small and Joey in diapers. I use to play with Tracy growing up and she was always smiling and full of life. We live in south florida. It so sad a sick man can sit there and attack all these people and only now are the cops willing to get involved. I don’t see how some people can trash her and say basically she had it comming by her photo. Alot of woman have clevage and aren’t afraid to show it. It’s not like she is naked she is fully clothed you can not see anything. I hope that they can find more evidence to hold this man in jail because his time will soon expire for the drug charge they have him on. I wish that the lie decter that he failed in regards to Tracy could be used in court and hold that to him. I feel so bad for Liz and Joe even Joey as I cant imagine what it would feel like to loose a daughter or a sister. I pray for them every night ever since I got the phone call that she was missing.
God Bless you and your family. She is lovely, and you have no reason to defend her, your amongst supporters here.
B
They have used the dogs all over and they still cant find anything. I dont think though if god for bid he put her in a lake that the dogs would hit on the sent.. Does anyone know if dogs can pick up the sent even in the water?
Possible, but in general, not unless transported and tracked. However, if they happen upon an area where a decedant was dumped, perhaps.
B
yeah hes better off being in jail, “if” he gets out hes going to meet his maker real soon after..just sayin
Has anyone seen the video of them in the Bar? I found the video
http://www.wftv.com/news/19671451/detail.html
This man is a P.O.I in 2 other cases besides Tracy now. Jennifer and his friend Christopher this is a shame that now they decide to persuit these cases after Tracy is gone. This can have been prevented. This just outrages me
Rey spoke to Joe today, Joe and Liz are, as expected, very stressed out. Joe spoke highly of the community involement in the search for Tracy. We would like to thank each and everyone of you for your ideas,
posters and genuine caring for Tracy, Joe, Liz, Joey, and the entire Ocasio family in this difficult time.
hey - just read about the video they have of the guy and jenns car - i feel like this could be somthing - thnx to blink on crime - we might have a break after they get a clear image, which hopefully they are doing. other than that, how’s everyone holding up?? i hope your all taking care of yourselves, and derreck - your right about him in jail, he got himself in quite the pickle this time. alot of really angry people in his neck of the woods, and ours…..not to mention arizona and cali. stepherz
alright, i posted on another site and can’t find it now, grrrr, but anywho, derreck - i don’t know if my message got through on it - i talked to two of our, tracy and myself, cousins up here - cops - they said that if you go searching, anything you touch or find will be thrown out of court by the defense. tampered evedence, is what his attorneys will say. with all the luck this sensored son of a sensored has, he could walk if we mess up here. maybe you can use real time sattelite imagry - i’m not allowed to dl it to my moms comp - blah - but here’s the site - i messed it up on the other post….http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ - not sure if it costs anything to dl - keep me posted….
hey guys - i just tried to enter the darth (is it?) whatever, account - it has been deleted or closed - i was hoping that i would be able to visit it from time to time to keep tabs on any activity but now i am s.o.l i’m wondering if we’re posting info that the culprate can use to their advantage……..be careful what you put out here , how can we talk privatly without giving anyone else our info???
Mr. Ocasio-
Please accept on behalf of myself and the readers here, our deepest respect.
In the way of background, what is presented here, if it is proprietary, as is often the case, it goes to Investigators first. Bad guys are not smarter, we have that covered.
B
ha! funny i didn’t catch that one - rofl - i’m not ray!!!! geez, sometimes i’m hopeless
alright.(pulling hair out) i tried to post twice annnd they didn’t work. grrrrr. lets try this again shall we?? i posted under my dads name, the first time it failed. hence the post prior to this one. so, what i was TRYING to say is…. i visited the myspace site and it is closed, so i’m feeling guarded about how much i say on the posts. wondering how we can talk privatly without putting our info out here. i have one avenue that i think will surfice, wish me luck!! (ps, GOD LET MY POST GO THROUGH THIS TIME……PLEASSSSSSSSSE!!))
YES!! IT WENT THROUGH!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!! KICK ARSE PEEPS, KICK ARSE!!
Uhm, i’m aloud to say that right?? if not i’m sorry, like Stay, i’m half puerto rican and half irish, it gets out sometimes………
alright B - i’m just tipping the edge of frustration i guess, getting a little paranoid about this whole deal. thnx for the reply, has anything else come up?? my family seems to be in a stalemate right now…..
p.s it’s weird that my two goof posts are on today - they didn’t go through lastnight when i checked..odd.
Steph, comments are moderated, not automatic, thats why you dont see them until they are.
I know there are 2 planned searches for today draining 2 ponds, thats all I know.
B
alright B, thnx - keep me posted, also, i have a few friends in northhampton that are going to get involved to see if they can help.
My niece Tracy is still missing, and less and less is been said by the media, let alone the police department. I am glad for your web site. Some sites can be ugly with negative comments. I thank you for keeping us, the Ocasio’s informed. This is our only consolation, for us who are in other states. My other niece Steph is right, our last name is believed to have come from Italy. I had the joy to have known a great great aunt that told me that our name originaly was Boccasio, and that when her dad arrived in P.R. from Italy, he ended up dropping the band a c. Whatever the origin, it does not matter were our name comes from. What matters is that a special beautiful young lady is missing from our lives, and is devastating to her father, my brother. Thank you B and Derrick for caring. We are hurting, but my brother and his wife are suffering the worst. Please keep praying and searching. Thank you for caring.
My dear Mrs. Grammer your family is in my prayers and thank you. We will stay on this until she is found.
B
hi diana! i never heard that name - boccasio - but it makes sense, i’m digging in to see if i was told wrong (don’t tell my parents but i think i may have been lol) anyway, i posted a note for you on the other site - and B, any news on the pond draining?? did they find her phone or keys???? you can post it on any site for me - i read them all everyday. thnx hunn
No news, sorry.
B
alright b, thnx
if anyone has leads or advise on how I can get leads on my cousin Tracy please contact me I’m dying inside not knowing if she’s even alive.
six one nine six seven four one eight one one.
Her and I are like ying yang twins and thanks for your prayers and support. To others please dont talk ill of my cousin this isn’t the time or place. Only God is the judge of us all.
Theres evidence that they are testing but they are not making it public. Hopefully something will come up and they can prove he was involved.
Also i just hope that he was dumb enough to slip and drove her car without any gloves on and they have the bastards finger prints on her steering wheel.
Steph, I mistakenly called you my niece. You and I are 1st cousins. Tracy and Dee are 2nd cousins to you. Tell your dad that I love to hear from him as well. I haven’t been able to think straight since this whole nightmare started. My daughter is leaving for the army in a few days. I do want you two to get to know each other. She and Tracy spoke on the phone everyday. My daughter is traumatized not knowing about Tracy. thanks for caring and loving your family my sweet cousin. If it were not for sites like this one, we would be just going mad with grief. I too search everyday for news. It’s too heart wrenching. I spoke to Joe, my brother last week. he will never rest until he finds his baby girl, even if it takes his whole life. I do believe in miracles. We want Tracy back. Pray for us everyone. We are a good noble family. This is tragic.
[...] reports, Tim Miller arrived in Florida at 4:45 p.m. Friday to start on their search efforts. Tracy Ocasio has been missing since leaving the Taproom Bar in Orlando, FL at approximately 1:30 am Wednesday, May 27, [...]
diana, i know that you are my first cousin - your dad, was a very good uncle to me, the last time i hung out with him we put in the cement pad in the back of your moms house in lansdale. i still think of him and miss him, 4 ever. and i would love to keep in touch with you and my cousin there, i’m upset that our family has drifted so far apart that we have to meet under these circumstances. i also don’t think that she should put her number, or any info out in here - it’s not safe….too many eyes. i know how to get ahold of you - i’ll be in touch - until then - i love you, be safe, and pray for our lost cousin. love you always and forever, steph
Steph, have you check the most recent post for Blink. A person posted ( the name had a 44 ) a message. This person seems, to be aming the email towards Paul Hutto. This person was telling Paul to turn himself in to the cops, for shooting Tracy because of the fight back in April 14 at the TapRoom. I felt a sick feeling over me. I have been reading so many posts that Blink has been posting, and it seems to be headed in the direction that this 44 person posted. I want so much to believe that she is alive somewhere, but at the same time, I feel a reality about this last posting. Thanks for what you said about my dad. My daughter I know should not be posting her phone number out in the net. She is just so traumatized about her dear cousin. Maybe someday you can come and visit me here, in California. Love you right back. Thank you B. Unbeknownst to you, you also bring families together. You are a good person. I know for sure you have a place in Heaven.
Mrs. O
I hope it at least will give you some measure of peace that I did not see anything about anyone shooting Tracy in that post.
Anybody out there what Hutto drives? Insiders tell me he was spotted at the search yesterday??
B
The #19 posting talked about a female getting poped. I thought that inferred that the female in question was shot. I do pray I am so wrong. I just read that posting and I felt just this horrible feeling inside. Thanks B.
I know Mrs. G, I know. All I can offer you and your family is my support and a commitment to see this through till Tracy is found. God speed for that.
B
Thank you B. Please, it’s Diana, I know I am old, it makes me feel older:) I know that the voice interview had your name, please forgive me for not remembering. Ever since my niece has gone missing, it has been so difficult to think straight. Blink, I am unable to find the posting of your radio interview. When I go into google and scroll your web site, I get a lot of older postings about Tracy from way back to later days. Your most recent one, the one I told Steph about, I cannot find. Any subjestions?

where is this post at?! i see no “44″ another long hot day of searching today, wish us luck today
does anyone know the year make and model of tracy ocasio’s car?
Yes, Yellow Chevy Cobalt
B
Derrick, B left the link on her #102 posting. I can’t thank you enough Derrick, for been there for my brother. God bless you and all those wonderful Floridians, helping Mr.Miller and EquuSearch,as well as to B. for been there for us as well.
if its a newer chevy cobalt you can probably link up to the computer to find out,since the last time it was turned on, what the mileage was and shorten the search pattern…………
I am not sure they have not done that, they released a photo of her car and the lic plate number well after her car was found, I think they may know she, or her car, did not have the point A to point B trip they mention.
B
sort of like a black box for cars-they always leave a pattern…..
the year of the car was 2005
D
did it have on star?
B
if you can get from her onboard computer when the last two times the car was turned on and off- you can get the mileage then.
Commenting on the response from 106-she traveled from point A to C-
point B would be the mileage -then you figure the possible routes from point of departure “Tap Room”-to where it was abandoned-
the assailant used the car to the end- he had nothing else.
retrace her steps through the mileage on her car and it will narrow the areas of search………
If she has it, your 100% correct. I dont know that it is standard in a 2005 though. It continues to bother me that they released an actual photo of her car and plate well after it was found though, they are questioning something.
B
im getting all that taken care of right now ive been working on it since i saw the #106 comment…and theres software that can be used to bring up every single time the car was turned on and off
so from the time the car was moved from the spot til the 1st owner of the car took it off the car lot. i cant believe i didnt think of this on my own and i want to thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!! i cant thank you enough. every car is able to do this well cept the ones that ran without computers in which are pretty old or rebuilt
Derrick- thank you for acknowledging the wicked smart posters here. Please do NOT tell me detectives did not know this. Keep us posted and God Bless.
B
Since Tracy smoked cigarettes, did the detectives check out the ashtray, and any cigarette butts found near the car. You can get really good DNA from cigarette butts. I am sure most of the people involved in this probably smoke too.
Diana please call us at home.
We wish once again to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support of Joe, Liz, Joey and the entire Ocasio family. It is very difficult for our family during this time, especially since we all live so far away. Your help means alot to all of us. Thank you again for being there for us, when we cannot be there to help.
Linda and Reynaldo Ocasio
Derrick, the papers aren’t saying anything anymore. I don’t want to burden my brother Joe with questions. Has any new information or leads been found? Is the Ocoee police still on the case? I pray it is. I would love to communicate with you via email. Maybe B. can give you my email. I posted it once, not realizing what a mistake I made. There is so much info out there in the net, I think some of it is pertinent. I have been doing a lot of re-searching. Since I can’t be there physically, I am connected to this tragedy through the net, for now. I will come to Ocoee in the near future. Thanks for all your help Derrick. My brother is a great man, and a loving father, it grieves me to see him going through this horrible nightmare, but I know his pain is worst.
thanks to all for praying and researching about my cousin.
D
they need to put 2 and 2 together and realize that the huttos have everything to do with this…. paul still had charges pending from the fight with tracy on 4-14-09 at the taproom… paul was at gators the night she was at taproom along with hataway, giving him an alibi… since hutto and hataway worked with or was friends hutto decided to tell hataway hey get tracy to give you a ride home and well meet up and well do the rest, hataway got lazy or was extremely confident that he wasnt going to get caught so he parked her car a block away from the house…thats why he says hes innocent, the FBI needs to get into this and put some pressure on this scum…
Derrick my friend, the FBI will only get involved at the request of LE. I would strongly recommend that Mr. and Mrs. Ocasio request that of them.
B
Derrick, I agree with Blink. Please urge Joe to have the LE contact the FBI. Perhaps Joe himself should call the FBI and fill them in, at least. It would put the LE under presure to contact the FBI. By the way, I was kind of threatened by someone from Ocoee in another blinkoncrime site. The post said I was interfering with the police investigation. I guess I have ruffled some feathers, all the way here in California. The nest of losers that Hataway belongs to have to be cleaned-up, for the sake of innocent folks in Ocoee.
This message is for Steph, I don’t have your dad’s phone number. If I call info, you think I can get it then?
Thank ou Blink for keeping this sad tragedy going.
lol good then they are gettin a little worried it seems…maybe someone should start talking!
Diana call your mom she has our number. Love you and miss you.
hey diana, don’t fret about them saying your in the way of the investigation, we are family, they are in our way of justice if they don’t do their jobs, if they give you grief then remind them that all of the ocasios are worried, we have your back hun, much love, ps - hows DEE? i hope she’s alright and doing well for herself.
yes diana - you can get it in info - along with other ocasio numbers here - and your mom and brother have our number too, we would love to hear from you, love - linda, ray, chris, vana, steph and my lil man tony
Tracy’s car was an LS, apparently the LS came standard with On Star. Have police checked into this? Do they know they can? I think this could be huge for a timeline if nothing else. But more importantly if the computer stores the GPS locations and path, it would obviously say exactly where they/he travelled.
Anyone close to the investigation know if police have looked into this?
Yes, I know they have, but have not released the data
B
it is unfortunate that in all this turmoil and desperation we have drifted off the the straight path of possibilities….
we must look inward, into her social circle, and the convenience of her closest friend not being their,mysteriously passing out from an all too repeated night of drinking……
someone close to her is keeping secrets……..
The dissapearance of Tracy doesn’t have to do with her personal friends. Tic toc should be a little more clear aout what he is trying to say. Tracy is a normal American girl, that attended her favorite sports bar were she loved to “hang” with her friends. The fact still stands that she gave Hataway a ride. Those who know what Hataway did with my niece should come forward, because he could very well point the finger at them, as he did to his two close friends the Huttos. Does accessory to murder mean anything to Hataway, as well as anyone of his friends that know what happened to Tracy.
One of my colleagues spent the day with her “friend” referenced in Tic Toc post, nothing unusual, so not sure what that’s about. However, there is no doubt in my mind that more people than Hataway knows where Tracy is.
B
that is clearly what i am trying to point out “B”…
Hataway is not that smart and precise to work alone everything he did was preplanned and calculated….
thats why her personal items from that night were not found-just her car….
he didn’t magically make them disappear-this is a guy who travels by foot or whenever he bums a ride….
someone in her circle knows more than they care to share-he didn’t pop out of nowhere that night-he was already established…
we need to step back out of tunnel vision mode and look at the big picture….
i’m just being observant
Understood, but one clarification I would like to make is that Jimmy Hataway by all accounts is very, very, smart.
B
he’s conniving and that’s what makes him lethal….
look at what his downfall was,not too smart….
Steph please give me a call.
I agree Blink, lots more people outhere that know what happend to Tracy. The whole lot are probably scared of this gang of thugs that hang with hataway. It would be a gift for Tracy’s father, if just even one person came forward and told were the body of Tracy is at. Her dad is living a painful hell. He needs his girl back, like he said “good or bad” he needs her home.
I am praying for that, Cali.
B
actually tic toc has a really good point here….seriously the shits gonna get a lot worse for whoever knows anything as time goes on, somebody needs to come clean…
I agree, and hopefully those “in the know” will consider someone always talks, and he who talks first gets the deal. Please help bring this family peace.
B
You are right Derrick the shit is going to get a lot worse for whoever knows anything. We are a very large family and we will never forget that our girl is missing. We have never lost a family member in this manner and we will never stop looking for her.
It bothers me that LE hasn’t gone and searched the “mounds” that Mr Ocasio has asked the police to go check out. It’s been almost a WEEK?! I hope there is a method to the madness, but what is the holdup? My heart goes out to the family for each passing moment they wait in agony to find Tracy
from my view- the two police departments involved in the search three weeks ago-appeared as though they were there for show and presence only-maybe a handful were there for the right reasons.
As say this as they seemed to be making up for something they neglected in the past. They even had catered bar b que at the nursery
dispatch sight-
I guess the tax payer really pays in the end -one way or the other.
If this sounds too harsh it is because it is true.
Thinking about the ride thing. Did Hataway not drive at all? Did he not own a car?
He worked at various jobs. Did he bum rides to all of the jobs? Or just when he went out, perhaps as a “pick-up” gimmick of sorts.
The GPS thing seems the most promising to me.
If he killed her and carried her, it wouldn’t be far from where the car went. Even if she actually was only 100 pounds, she would get heavy if it was a long distance, and the longer he would walk with a body, the more likely someone might see something.
If she was alive and is being held captive someplace, they should be able to tell where they stopped and spent the most time.
I wonder if the women who have accused him of attacking them said WHERE it happened. Wondering if he had a special private place to have the women who were driving him home park the car when he attacked them? Or was he brazen enough to do it right in front of his own place?
