Onda Christopher George’s ruggedly handsome looks, warm smile and charisma made him the quintessential “boy next door.” If you grew up in one of the wealthy Windermere, Florida subdivisions, he may have been just that. Continuing our exclusive blinkoncrime.com investigation into the disappearances of Chris George and Tracy Ocasio has developed new sources, new evidence, and new leads in both cases. Read Volume I Here
In December 2008, Chris George had managed to pull himself out of a recent relapse with mild drug use through one of the oldest tried and true methods. The Love of a woman he did not want to lose.
He was in a committed relationship, making a clean living and had left bad associations behind. Following an unfortunate physical attack (sucker punch) at a Holiday outing, to which Chris did not respond at the request of his girlfriend; Chris suffered a concussion and hernia.
His injuries kept him out of his work at Custom Metal Designs for a week. Upon return, because he had been out and still under a physician’s care, Chris was first on the list for his pink slip due to cut backs. Not to be deterred at the major setback, after consulting friends, family and a possible business partner, Chris decided he would start his own mobile detailing business.
“Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th’ quick, Yet with my nobler reason ‘gainst my fury Do I take part. The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance.” – William Shakespeare, The Tempest, 5.1
The employment pool for convicted felons was a known hurdle, and Chris knew a few guys in the business that had been successful in a short period of time. Paul Adam Hutto, was one of “those guys”.
In fact, it may have been exactly where Chris got the idea. According to a source speaking to blinkoncrime.com on the condition of anonymity, Chris had recently run into Jeremiah Hutto, released from prison weeks earlier from a parole violation on a battery charge, thinking it was his brother Paul . Paul threw a Christmas Eve Bash to celebrate his homecoming in the woods behind the Gotha Superwalmart.
Chris hung out with both Hutto’s during his troublesome teens. Paul had convictions for armed burglary and stalking pled down from felony kidnapping and sexual battery with other Hutto family members including older brother Ernest “Dustin” Hutto. He has also been charged with 33 traffic related offenses since 2000, including revocation of his drivers license at least 6 times.
The pair caught up as they made their way through the store and into the parking lot where Chris admired the “tricked out” burnt orange truck Hutto was driving.
Chris commented to mutual friends afterward that whatever business Hutto’s were in , it must be good to afford that truck.
With the name H U T T O in large orange letters on the windshield, it did not appear they were concerned who knew about it.
While riding with a friend about a week later, Chris made an abrupt U turn in the middle of the highway after spotting a similar truck at a gas station on the opposite side of the road. Chris’s passenger asked what the problem was, and he answered, ..” I need to talk to him about something..”. As they got within 30 feet of the truck at the gas station Chris said ..”Nevermind, not him, the idiot has him damn name on the truck..” When pressed about who Hutto was and what Chris needed that was so important he gave them both whiplash to talk to him, Chris replied tersely, “Business”.
According to Sunbiz, the business registry for both standard and fictional business listings, neither Paul nor Jeremiah Hutto are officers or employees in the family Detailing Business at 16247 Lake John Circle, Winter Garden. In fact, according to the only named suspect in the disappearance of Tracy Ocasio, James “Jimmy” Hataway, he worked for the Huttos in their lake clearing business.
D&P’s complete detailing & Polishing Inc, has been owned and operated at one time or another by big brother “Dusty” Ernest Hutto, Paul Branic, Daniel Hutto and Phillip Dewayne Scott.
Paul Branic was sentenced to 18 months for a parole violation the day Tracy Ocasio and Paul Hutto had an altercation outside The Tap Room in Metro West. He was released November 10, 2010.
Once again, neither Hutto brother is a principal in the lake clearing endeavor, although their sister Brandy is, or was, until it was administratively dissolved in August 2009 for non-filing. Anthony Zedde’s Lakefront Clearing, formally listed at 1431 Cardinal Lane, Winter Garden business registration was modified to reflect the business address of, you guessed it, Lake John Circle.
Anthony Zedde, previously convicted for driving with a suspended license and a smattering of traffic offenses, was charged with Coralyn Maysonet and Carlos Alberto Cortez in March for trafficking in Dillaud and Heroin. All 3 are awaiting trial.
From January 26th through February 3rd, Chris George busted hump to begin his business, legitimately. He lined up possible business partners, discussed his business plan, leased a used 2008 Nissan Pathfinder Xterra and had the hitch installed for the unit to hold the tools of his trade.
Like the Parachute Jump at Coney Island, the bottom fell out. The dealership underwriter learned Chris had been laid off, and under the current terms of the lease, without a much larger deposit, he would need to return the vehicle.
Chris needed money and luck. He needed them both yesterday. “Hello” to those old associations was- inevitable.
By all accounts, Chris was fiercely determined to maintain his status as a fledgling business man.
“O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world That has such people in’t!” – William Shakespeare, The Tempest, 5.1
Chris George’s crisis was not so different from one many of us face. He needed cash, a lot of it, and quickly to be able to save his business venture, his recent significant financial obligations and of course, “face”.
Chris knew his personal relationship would not endure another setback and while he was loved and supported by his family, he was under the tough love rule.
What was different for Chris George, was that while his resources were many, they were also in some cases, shady. Shady would have to do in a pinch.
Chris began purchasing items on his credit cards for immediate resale, offering a significant discount to friends and associates. In most cases, they accompanied him and actually chose the items. One of the indications that Chris had every intention of repaying the debt for quick cash plan he was using, is that he purchased extended warrantees and insurance for everything he charged for others.
He knew that in the event the items were not paid for, that coverage would be unusable and useless. It also created a secondary paper trail that if he were looking to pawn or fence items he never intended to pay for, he would of course be caught.
Although Chris was revisiting the ex-con circuit, he was not doing anything illegal and continued to meet with possible business partners and investors; he was “walking the line”.
Near the end of January, according to a confidential source inside the Florida Department of Law Enfocement, Chris met what he considered somewhat of a mentor, or at least someone Chris felt worthy of emulation. Kenyon “Kenny” Shultz, one of the bachelors living at the well-known after hours hangout at 6100 Allen St in Mt. Dora, owned by Sam Mahon, impressed Chris.
So much so, that while he was picking up his necessary tools and supplies for the detailing business, Shultz accompanied him for guidance, and offered to install the trailer hitch to the Xterra. Kenny was an example of what Chris wanted. He had cash, a vacation home in North Carolina and the man-bling known in their circles to signify respect and success.
He told Chris that if he wanted to appear like a serious businessman, he needed to look the part. He told him nobody will take him seriously or want to invest if he looks hungry, or not previously successful. The correct approach was to have the prospective partner or backer to view an opportunity with him as a win-win. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and all that..
Chris purchased a few clothing items and the suggested man-bling: a stainless steel watch, the EXACT same chain worn by Kenny Shultz, and it’s companion bracelet. Also according to the FDLE source, Shultz unsuccessfully attempted to access Chris George’s voice mail following his disappearance.
Chris George was set up for success, or so he thought.
According to Vehicle records obtained exclusively by blinkoncrime.com, Chris drove almost 3,000 miles in the week he leased the Xterra prior to his disappearance on February 11, 2009, in an effort to cling to a life he wanted, was willing to work for, and had so far eluded him.
Over the last 18 months, blinkoncrime.com has spent hundreds of hours in investigative research, witness location and interviews, information and statement analysis, location confirmations and lead development.
The ruckus in the blinktank as we affectionately call our war room, has produced the previously unknown and unreleased information contained herein for both Chris George and Tracy Ocasio’s cases.
Perhaps more importantly, the most significant lead is the discovery of a verified source who has been able to pinpoint previously unknown timeline and location information for Chris George’s whereabouts the last week of his life, as well as directly refute the witness statements of Tyler Watters and Jimmy Hataway, given to investigators following Chris’s disappearance.
As both cases are classified as active investigations, we have been asked to withhold the identity of our source. We have utilized appropriate tools to verify the accuracy of the information we have been provided. On occasion, information is intentionally vague for investigative reasons.
February 5-6 On February 5, Chris headed to the Tampa Area to meet with a potential business contact and to deliver the 50 inch plasma TV he just put on his Sears card for resale. While it is not known if the TV was for his personal use, it was delivered to Chris’s former cell and roommate, Ben Parris.
Parris is a registered sex offender and convicted felon for litany of offenses ranging from burglary, to dealing in stolen property and trafficking. Parris claimed to investigators he did not receive, does not have, nor does he know it’s whereabouts after a confidential informant came forward about Chris’s purchases .
According to a mutual friend of both Parris and Chris speaking to blinkoncrime.com on the condition of anonymity, Chris spent the late afternoon of February 5th into the early morning hour of February 6th between his home on Delores Drive and friends they met up with at The Liquor Lounge off route 19 in Holiday, FL.
After a trip to West Oaks Mall the afternoon of February 6th, Chris stops with his traveling companion briefly at a location of profound relevance to both the George and Ocasio cases: South Bluford and 50.
In fact, almost the exact location where a boot, believed to be that of Tracy Ocasio, was found on August 28, 2009.
DNA tests on the boot were inconclusive because the sample did not have enough DNA material to complete a profile, but it is Tracy’s size and her best friend identified it emphatically as one of the boots Tracy was wearing the night she disappeared following her departure at The Tap Room with Jimmy Hataway. Parris and Chris meet up again around 8PM and head to Cowboys Bar briefly, where Tyler Watters partied the night before.
February 7-8 After a day of family obligations, Chris heads to the residence at 30133 Country Rd 437 for a visit, and then on to see Kenny Shultz at 6100 Allen St Mt. Dora. Shultz and Chris shop at The Home Depot for about 20 minutes, Chris backtracks to the Sorrento home before heading to his own house in Winter Garden, and out again to long-time friends and mutual friends of Jimmy Hataway’s at 1219 Russell Drive around 1 AM the morning of February 8th. Chris hung out with Mary Meeks and boyfriend Tyler Davis, who is Tyler Watters cousin, R. Lyn Johnston, and Tim Losik until about 6AM. It is presumed that the balance of the day is spent at scheduled family obligations as were found written in his day planner.
February 9 Chris runs some errands, meets with a possible investor, spends the early afternoon at a friends home at 2nd St in Ocoee, and is visiting Kenny Shultz by 6:25PM in Mt. Dora. The crowd hangs out for a few hours at the Allen St home and Jeremiah’s, a local favorite bar until Chris gets a call from Jimmy Hataway who is now staying with Tyler Watters and 2 women at Sun Resorts Trailer Park in Apopka, FL.
At the time, the park was owned by Lee Adkison, owner of Miami Pornication and Adrenaline Productions. Although it is not believed that Chris ever met Adkison, his business card and a map for directions to his Miami Beach office were found in the abandoned Xterra following Chris’s disappearance. Also found in the vehicle were 2 post-it notes with handwritten phone numbers on them.
407.947.8373
Lori – 407.401.6556
Just before midnight, Chris leaves Sun Resorts and heads to Altamonte Springs after the group gets stoned together. It is believed that Chris was asked for assistance in tracking down additional recreational supplies for the foursome.
February 10 Chris is spotted at Tyler Watters Grandmothers house on Coballero Ct at approximately noon. According to EZPASS/Toll records, Chris arrives at his old friend Darby Woods residence on Ward Rd around 1PM. Darby was a bit of a Father figure to him after his Dad’s passing in 1997, but definitely not a positive one. Darby was once a successful businessman who lost most everything following a lengthy meth addiction.
Lisa Andrews, a friend and roommate of Woods who also struggles with addiction, befriended Chris for a time until friends say she set him up in an effort to steal his belongings contained in a duffle bag to sell for drugs. They head over to Fish Camp Rd and the Holiday Woods subdivision. After 3:45PM Chris meets Tyler Davis and another man jewelry store staff described as “intentionally staying out of range of the overhead camera, but they could have been brothers.” At West Oak Mall.
Chris and gang end up at another pertinent address to his case around 7:45PM: A known hang-out on A.D. Mimms Rd and also the location where Hataway was arrested for alledgedly punching the van of Donnaugh Robinson. Hataway was aquitted of criminal mischief in April.
Throughout the balance of the evening, Chris and crew ends up at Frank’s in Ocoee, back to Sun Resorts, Jeremiahs and 6100 Allen St.
Friends and witnesses inside the investigation of Chris George’s disappearance believe something occurred during the final 48 hours of his life that had him running scared. Between the cash he had acquired over the last week (it is believed he needed it to increase the deposit on the truck lease or it would have to be returned) and the bling he was wearing, Chris George was worth enough for some of the unsavory types he knew to fund their habits, front their own deals, or “other”.
“Never till this day Saw I him so touched with anger, so distempered.” – William Shakespeare, The Tempest, 4.1
At this point, those closest to Chris are now concerned they are not hearing from him and he is avoiding going home. Below is a Bing flyover map of the last 24 hours of what is believed to be, Chris George’s final hours.
The last confirmed phone conversation with Chris on the day he went missing was at approximately 6PM .
He was convinced that he was being followed by the Metro Bureau Investigation ( vice task force) and that he would be arrested for something that took place in his vehicle, but claimed he was not involved in directly.
Earlier that afternoon Chris’s Mother, Rachael George, called his girlfriend and expressed her concerns that she had not heard from him although they generally spoke a few times per day.
The women in Chris’s life were on high alert, with good reason.
Chris committed to coming home by 9PM that evening to discuss exactly what was going on. During that last conversation Chris is described as remorseful, scared, and reflective:
..” I was just trying to put things together so we could have a normal life, All I wanted was a normal life..”
Chris George’s White Nissan Xterra was located on Ocoee Apopka Rd in Apopka, Fl near Medicine Lake on February 12, 2009 at approximately 1:30PM by Apopka Police.
Emerging from the woods, claiming to be looking for him, were Tyler Watters, Jimmy Hataway and Brandon Losik.

Wow.
Awesome piece Blink (and editors/contributors)!
Not sure how you manage to juggle the workload of cases that you do, AND turn out the high quality, well-researched articles that you publish.
Truly incredible…
These victims and their families are truly blessed you have taken an interest in seeing that justice is served on their behalf!
Ty. What these families have had to endure at the hands of others is unthinkable.
B
Blink– I have tears in my eyes, a knot in my stomach, and thanks in my heart. –Rachael
Well, thanks to you so do I, all over again, lol.
It is my sincere hope that both your family and the Ocasio family are on the way to recovering Chris and Tracy, as I believe.
It is time.
B
So much evil out there looking for financial gains, preying on others and are willing to do anything to achieve it.
Tragic!
Once again, Blink, you have amazed me with your dedication, thoroughness, and pure heart. The “blinktank” has been hard at work, that’s for sure! How you manage to balance all your active cases and make real headway like you do and no one else appears to be able to do, uncovering buried truths is beyond me, but you do. I think the post by Chris’s mom at 11:47 says it all.
You are amazing!
**********************************************************************
To Chris’s mom: My prayers are with you. I hope you get the answers you deserve.
I have just been told that WFTV just received a letter from someone claiming to be a former friend of Hataway’s that includes a map of a location where he states there are 3 bodies.
I chit you not, within 2 hours of this post.
B
First Blink – fantastic article. I understand so much more than I did before. Can’t wait for Vol II
Secondly – please for the sake of these families let this tip to WFTV be something that puts an end to the anguish they’ve been living.
Good job.

Blink~
My head is spinnng with this new info! Must revisit prior posts and SM’s for a memory refresher.
Peace & Love to Chris & Tracy’s family & friends. It has been too long, it is time for them to come home and justice to be served.
Blink- I hope the letter/map holds the answers that these families desperately need.
Exceptional work on this piece, Blink & Team, very easy to follow, well written-. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was enough to shake the truth loose.
My prayers are with the families-
Thanks for all you do Blink & Team. Nice Work

Tampa, Interesting.
B
That is a lot of well done research, Blink and team, and the families involved are very blessed to have you on this case.
I am so distressed that our young adults, (and I am the mother of one young adult, and one teen), are so desperate to find satisfactory work to make their place in the community, and to gain the means to support a family that they are pushed to associate with people who are advantage takers in a bad way.
It hurts my heart that the young man in this case were on the right path, and then was lured into possible bad associations.
As with so many of the cases you work on, why us it the bad apple looking to take advantage who causes the pain and heartache for the families of the ones who are simply looking to trust others, and to make their way in life?
I am hoping for closure, peace and justice for the families, soon.
I also hope the guilty are brought in quickly for a harsh lifelong punishment, to spare other families this heartache.
Blink and the BlinkTank, awesome, simply awesome.
Chris’ Mom — have faith, with Blink and team hot on the trail, if there is either stone to be turned over, they will do it and usually before it even enters anyone else’s brain. Reminds me so much of King Solomon with two mothers and one child. The Blink team has no interest in “credit” . . . their interest is in justice.
Such a disappointment about Natalee today . . . a positive outcome to finding Chris and Tracy would be so holy!
Blink,
OMG!!!!!! I hope this really is going to happen for Chris and Tracey’s family today! Great job as usual!
Do you think this will be reported nationally on tv today?
My heart goes out to you Rachael and all of the family member’s involved.
My prayers are with you.
Christy~
I think there is definite traction and I am most encouraged.
B
I have to say I did not see that one coming: hataway’s baby momma killed 3 people with him? I have a feeling this tip is going to possibly pan out though! Strange spin though! You’re new article is amazing and Shakespeare quotes are very fitting.
Personally, I think this is more an attempt on someone’s part to stop Hataway from talking.
Why would someone send this letter to the Ocasio’s and Tampa press and not conact LE?
B
Lily Thank you for posting those updates. I sure hope this leads to some answers. Is anyone else missing, that is connected to these 2 cases?? I’m just wandering who the third body is? Blink, Tampa is interesting Why? Did I miss something or have i missed alot? TIA
We are covering that, but nothing on the surface, no.
I will of course post if we can attach anything.
B
We waited and waited for volume two and it looks like all of you hit the jackpot.
If this new letter is authentic, and the police can find the bodies, they maybe can be a little closer to solving the case.
Great work Blink and team.
Maybe LE will begin to pay more attention to this site.
Wrt to Chris’s case, I was upset by the comments made by Apopka PD following the press conference with the Ocasio’s and Chris’s Mom.
I know I am bias, but the contrast between OCSO and Apopka PD and their handling of this case is staggering.
It pains me to ever say that about any agency, but they devalue the victim and their family in the process.
B
What a fabulous article full of details. Excellent. This helps clear alot of things in my mind that I was unsure of. And now the news of information from Tampa! Stepping a little too close for someone’s comfort huh Blink?
To Rachel and the Ocasio families- stay strong. With Blink’s help, these cases are going to get the attention and justice they deserve.
Surreal. Truly.
When this case is complete, I am going to have so much to say I cannot tell you.
Kudos to the blinktank for their diligence.
But more than that, there has been like 3 articles covering Chris’s case since he went missing (exaggeration, but you get the idea).
For us to work this case is like digging a hole in clay when we start like that, and everyone chipped in and I am very proud of my team for doing what is right, and what is sometimes really difficult.
Chris and Tracy are victims, and imo brutally murdered.
For some of the dregs involved in this case to get away with that to me is unfathomable.
B
Mom3.0
??Jennifer Kesse??
Just so people don’t have to look it up this is what was stated in the news report that you made reference to. Grrrr…
“Detectives say they would have handled his case differently had they known then Hataway would be connected to another crime.
‘If we were able to look down the road eight months to a year and foresee this car had any value during those times down the road, we would have processed it more extensively,’ said Cpt. Donald Heston, Apopka Police Department.
Chris George was known to have a drug problem and, while police maintain they conducted several extensive searches initially, they acknowledge their investigation was hindered by witnesses who were not truthful in the beginning.
‘It could put us weeks and months behind in any type of case we’re investigating,’ Heston said.”
Just to be clear, I am not the ex-girlfriend mentioned in the latest news article.
Blink,
Are you referring to Apopka pd’s comments made at press conf. Today! The tragedy that happened to Chris George and his family should be taken very seriously and I am going to be pizzed if they are still continuing after all this time to make it seem like it was anything other than murder by people who he had the misfortune of knowing! The ridiculous story Hataway, Watters, and Losik told in my book has alway’s and will be BS!
Wow!! That’s all I can say. Wow!!
Those lakes are in Baldwin Park, which at that time were heavily under construction and loaded with transient workers. Am I correct?
Blink
Digging clay is hard unless you get it wet first. lol
Look at the people in charge of Apopka PD. If they take the position of “we are the police and we will do it our way”, then they are NOT doing their job.
The very idea that they never fully processed the truck makes me see red. What a bunch of ignoramuses. I have no mercy for LE that act in that manner. They need their collective rear ends dusted.
Blink … WOW!!!
Fantastic work from the Blinktank … Kudos from the Monkey cage. Really great work and the coincidence is uncanny. There is law enforcement right now reading this saying to themselves … how does Blink do this.
NICE!!!
Thanks Chief. I wish I had a magic answer.
Kudos to the Blinktank, scaredmonks and Klaasend.
B
“… Hindered by witnesses who were not truthful in the beginning”???
What a surprise.
Let this be a lesson, from Florida all the way to Virginia. Come clean or you will be found out, and as I say to my children, the punishment is always so much worse if you lie.
Absolutely. Nice to see you on this thread, I appreciate the support as always acho.
B
I look at Hataway’s picture and I’m afraid of him because he’s the worst kind of killer charming one minute to ladies, uses them for what he can get,and then he flips on them, abuses them and kills them. Almost every male killer had a messed up relationship with his mother or lack of one. LE needs to bring the FBI in. Apopka PD, seriously???!!!
I would be in favor of the FBI investigating this case. I know the agents in the area and they are hands down, some of the best.
B
Brilliant as usual! Looks kinda like y’all are runnin their asses up a tree with only one limb!
I hate to ask you this again but I don’t know if you ever saw my question or I passed your response to it…where is Red Ranger? I started to see him less and less during the middle of the Sheddy case and then nothing. I hope he is okay.
Blink,
I haven’t posted in a while….but, I read EVERYTHING.
I just stopped in my tracts when I read this.
I am just beside myself.
How do some of us tell you thank you?
You are a voice, a strong voice for the dead.
PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP!!! DONT EVER!
The dead need you and your team. We, the living need your team.
Justice will be served.
Thank you Blink…….
Dear Chris’s Mom- Thank you for sharing those quotes with us- and for coming here to let us know Chris was a real living person with a Mom & family that loved him.
Any victim of crime is just as important as any other victim. LE should have worked as hard on Chris’s case as any other. LE should have followed the same procedures with Chris as they would have for anyone.
Blink and Eloise thank you for clueing me in-much appreciated.
Another example of your great work Blink and Company. Great job! You go girl!
These people scare me,everything about them and there lifestyles.Do you ever get scared when you do investigations like these,about what losers like this who have nothing to lose will do to intimidate?? I truly admire you blink to give so much of yourself and your time to others so they can have closure.How do you do it,all of this and also to take care of your own family.When I read here that thought comes into my mind,you truly amaze me!!I hope what I have said is appropriate and to doesn’t come off as weird.Just being honest and sincere,which I find that you are always.
Thank you for your kind words, it is a challenge sometimes, like anything, If I did not have strong editors, I could not do this work without them.
B
Thoughts prompted by Red’s comment, “There is law enforcement right now reading this saying to themselves … how does Blink do this.”
What has been LE’s response to this? Do you know if they are even aware of all the additional witness information that is on your flyover map? If they didn’t have this info before they are certainly having it handed to them on a silver platter. Seems like now would be the time to run with it and get these cases solved.
Quill, welcome to BOC.
I don’t discuss my conversations/exchanges with LE publicly as a courtesy to them, but no, they were not aware of the additional witness information prior it’s discovery by our team.
B
Ahhh, then this will be a defining test of their character. I’m eager to see if they take this new info and work toward a resolution of these cases or if they behave like juveniles and get mad about being scooped. It could go either way but I’m hoping that they step up to the plate.
Incredible. I want the rights to the boc screenplay. Kudos to the A-Team.
Honestly, when this piece finally went to the copy editor, she emailed me back
“Is this for real? If I did not know how long you guys have worked this, I would think it was fiction.
B
Blink, caught up on reading this case’s articles, per your posted requests.
Question: “Chris purchased a few clothing items and the suggested man-bling: a stainless steel watch, the EXACT same chain worn by Kenny Shultz, and it’s companion bracelet. Also according to the FDLE source, Shultz unsuccessfully attempted to access Chris George’s voice mail following his disappearance.” Are you suggesting that Chris bought these things for himself, or as part of his fund-raising?
I’m having trouble following the psychology here. New truck and bling as a requirement for mobile auto detailing? I have a friend who does this as a side job, and I guess he missed that part. Poor Chris definitely needed better role models and a better class of friends, if he was so suggestible.
It is infuriating that because he was less-than-perfect, that the gravity of his case was essentially diminished.
Infuriating is the right word.
I have had several conversations with Chris’s Mom, who is an uber-smart, bubbly lady who herself does not understand why Chris made some of the choices he did. In a conversation where at times her voice broke for a few seconds, we ended up howling at something she said ( She reminded me of Clar-ee sans the accent).
..”Chris did not discuss the bad things he did previously with me, he knew that if he did something and got arrested, I would not bail him out, he was on his own to pay the price..”
She went on to say ( the howling part)
..”I told Chris, your not meant to be a criminal because the 2 times you were, you got caught, so maybe your just really lousy at it and that is how you should look at it. Your a lousy criminal and a really fun and kind-hearted guy, just work with that..”
I don’t think he was as suggestible as he was driven to succeed. I have thought about little else for weeks, but how this man, who sticks out like the clark bar in the pool among these miscreants, met his fate.
I think I answered my own question.

Hey CrimeNut, take a good look at this pic of the POI in the Jennifer Kesse case. Look at this guys left foot.
http://jenniferkesse.com/person/surv1.bmp
Remeber that old saying, “Step on a crack, break your mother’s back”
This guy looks like he steps on them on purpose. I’m thinin’ he hates his mother.
Great work Blink. Do you know if Lake Susannah and Lake Barton in Orlando have been searched? How about Lake Bennet in West Orange County? I went out to Lake Bennet last week, it looks like a pretty good place to dump a body.
I can confirm only that the gentleman’s letter is being investigated.
B
Not all information within this story is true. First, Tyler Davis and Tyler Watters ARE NOT cousins. They do know each other, but are NOT related. Second, there was not another man with Tyler and Chris, as I met them at the mall. It was Chris, Tyler and myself. I am not saying that the exchange of jewelry for money was a moral trade, what I am stating is that the store clerks did not give correct information. Please make sure that your information is correct, as this is a very sensitive and painful case to all of us involved!
Ms. Meeks- welcome to BOC. First, if you state that Tyler Davis and Tyler Watters are not related through the Davis girls who ARE Watter’s cousins, I will take your word for it and stand corrected. At the time of Chris’s disappearance the Tyler’s were good friends, as opposed to just “knowing” each other, though.
Chris was actually at the Mall twice that day, and my reference to the dude “shying” away from the camera was earlier in the day, iirc. I have seen pictures of Tyler Davis, as well as the two of you together, and he would most certainly never be mistaken for Chris’s brother, imo.
I do have a question for you if your open- Through my sources, I was told when the new witness came forward, that nobody was aware that Chris was hanging out at the house with Lyn, Tim, you and Tyler that night.
In fact, I believe there is conflicting accounts about it between the parties- could you shed any light on that?
I do not wish to sound stand-offish, so I take this in the spirit it is intended, but as far as this being a painful and sensitive case- can you imagine how Chris’s friends and family feel?
Respectfully submitted,

“I have thought about little else for weeks, but how this man, who sticks out like the clark bar in the pool among these miscreants, met his fate.
I think I answered my own question.
B”
I think you did. Sometimes I’m not sure if the profundity of your references are intentional or blindly intuitive. Do you know the history of the Clark candy company in Pittsburgh? I think Chris would have related to its struggles.
Do you mean Helen Brach? If not, we will have to go with the blind part, lol.

Personally, I think this is more an attempt on someone’s part to stop Hataway from talking.
Why would someone send this letter to the Ocasio’s and Tampa press and not conact LE?

~~~~~~~~~~~
Blink,
I agree. Also I’m sure Hataway was able to see all about this letter on the news! I thought it was strange That in this artical, (http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpp/news/orange_news/112310-possible-new-tip-in-ocasio-case) the letter states that Hataway’s baby mama killed on three people by her self! Um, yeah right! Unfortunatly Hataway and Co. would rob and beat the crap out you for 100.00 let alone the money Chris had when he went missing. The problem is we know what Hataway is capable of because he’s sitting in jail for it.
@CrimeNut – I have not seen anything going on at Lake Susannah. I am also still convinced that Jennifer Kesse’s disappearance is linked here. But what do I know…
I am thankful, not just because it is Thanksgiving but because I have been blessed in so many ways, by people I’ve never even met…
Thanks to Judi, lovinlife, Mom3.0, Sister, Christy, and Eloise for your kind words…along with all the rest of you that are taking time to follow, comment, support, pray, and encourage those of us that are close to these cases.
Thanks also and always to Blink for the investment she has and is making in time, energy and resources to solve these cases.
God is good. –Rachael
Chris’mom, do you know if Lake Bennet has been thoroughly searched? I’m no psychic but for some reason I get a strange feeling about that area.
And we all feel for you. It’s a horrible thing you’re going through. I wish I could help.
Christy, Jimmy knows nothing about what goes on as he has no access to a TV or newspapers in the Seminole County jail. He only knows if someone tells him.
Are we confident Chris is not in hiding?…
Yes. Very.

@ Jeff D:
Why would you ask that? Does it appear to you that he is hiding…for over a year and a half?
Do you mind sharing a possible theory you are thinking of?
Just a thought though, if the man was hiding I would think he would have taken the vehicle with him. Probably easier to get around that way. Guess he would have had to pay Jimmy and Tyler something to plant the truck too since they’ve been getting heat from it as POI’s in the case ever since.
Not Jeff D, but just to add, if he was thinking of hiding, this was a terrible plan.
You will see what I mean in Vol trois.
B
Otherwise I would suggest you refrain since such conjecture doesn’t seem warranted or helpful to the family or the case in light of the known facts.
Blink~ You posted this yesterday and the end of the artilce says to be continued and says tomorrow. Does that mean you will be posting it today? I check your site daily and appreciate what you do. I also pray that there will be some solidity in one of these leads or witnesses in both the George and Ocasio cases. These cases weigh heavy on my mind. I would also like to say that I admire the strength or the parents in these cases.. I hope to never be in their shoes. May God continue to hold them steady with peace and a sound mind.
Loosely related to this case, I got sidetracked for a few hours this afternoon. If not late this evening, it will be up dark-early Friday.
B
Lots of catch up to do…really very little in the msm to start with. But one thing I have learned from the blinksters…there is no such thing as a coincidence in matters such as these. My heart bleeds for, but is encouraged by, the strength of Chris’s Mom…bless you and the Ocasio family.
Rachael~
Stay strong and keep on fighting the fight for Chris. What this police dept. failed to do in you’re sons case is pathetic! The story those dude’s gave in the very beginning was so far fetched, why in the hell wouldn’t they of processed the truck? I agree with A Texas Grandpa they need thier butts dusted!! I wonder why they felt they wouldn’t need to investigate this case as a homicide? I don’t care if Chris had taken drugs or not! All the people he was last seen with have all been involved in criminal activity in the past, even more reason! I wonder if they would investigate a MP case of a prostitute or would it be, “oh she’s a hooker so she probably just ran off somewhere, case closed”. Get it together Apopka PD!!!! Hit the pavement!!! If Blink and her Crew have uncovered all this new info., you could have too. Just saying
