Chris George Recovery: Remains Sent For DNA Testing, Drivers License And Jewelry Found
Apopka, FL- Missing Winter Garden man, Onda ” Chris” George, is believed to have been recovered from the Carter Lake area of Apopka.
The location is not far from where the primary person of interest in his case,Tyler Watters, as reported exclusively by blinkoncrime.com, was last seen by a witness that picked him up there, and dropped he and Jimmy Hataway off again, within 30 minutes.
In the fourth day of recovery efforts by Apopka Police, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and The Orange County Medical Examiner, George’s wallet containing his FL drivers license and jewelry he had been wearing at the time of his disappearance has been retrieved.
Both were identified by Chris’s Mother, Rachael George, who has stood vigil at the site alongside Liz Ocasio, the Mother of Missing Ocoee woman, Tracy Ocasio.
..I think Chris has been found, and for the most part, after over 2 years, we wait for DNA results to tell me what I already know. I continue to ask Apopka Police to request Orange County Sherriff’s Office detectives to participate in this case, as is protocol. I cannot disclose the investigative reasons for same, but we feel it is appropriate and I am hopeful my request will be acted upon, finally. – Rachael George
Yesterday afternoon Rachael George identified jewelry that her son Chris is believed to have been wearing the evening he was last seen, as shown previously exclusively on www.blinkoncrime.com. Ms. George was shown a cell phone image from one of the detectives on the scene.

This is so sad. Praying for strength and resolve for Chris’s Mom, girlfriend and family. God Bless the Ocasio’s for standing by and giving support. And thank you Blink.
Liz Ocasio over the last few days of course and both Joe and Liz Ocasio have been a rock for Rachael.
Thank you E.

Oh, how heart wrenching this must be for Chris’ mom. But, on the other hand, finally some closure, some affirmation that what is in her heart is fully known. Blink and crew, you have done a tremendous job keeping this case in the public eye. You have done a tremendous job outlining the facts and making them known. You have also shown such great compassion when that was needed the most. I pray for Chris’ mom and family. I also pray that Tracy’s mom has the same closure.
Thank you Pooky.
The family has asked me to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and support.

I am very saddened to hear this news, Blink. To think that Chris was there, the whole time, wearing the jewelry he hoped would help him to make a better future for himself, and his girlfriend, is heart-wrenching.
I know that his loved ones face new grief and must find new resolve to see justice carried out. I am so sorry for their loss. I will continue to keep them and you Blink & co in my prayers. It is a sad relief that Chris can soon be brought home, to be laid to rest.
Blink, I hope you will continue to keep us updated on Chris’s family and his case. As you wrote, what a sad success, Chris is no longer missing, he has been found, yet ‘happiness’ alludes us.
Prayers for Strength, Peace & Comfort.
It may not be the closure the family wants, but it is closure nonetheless and now hopefully, the healing can begin… My thoughts and prayers go out to this wonderful family.
I still cannot understand how this area was “searched” before now and nothing was found.. I guess we are all pondering that but at least it has been done now and some resolve has come of it.
Keep on keeping on Blink!
A dozen times no less that we know of, and yesterday Chief Manley told Channel 9.
I would say that Rachael has made her feelings known this morning:

Rachel~ my prayer is that God will protect your heart, mind and health as you are going through all of this. I cant imagine the level of stress that you are going through with all of these new findings and the pressure of the interviews.. You inspire me in so many ways. Stay strong in spirit and know that there are people here interceding for you in prayer.
I am certain that Rachael has lost faith in the local police. She wants another agency to be in charge. This is what should have happened almost two years ago. I think the police have taken the attitude that Chris was a criminal and they wern’t too concerned about putting forth the effort to drain the pond.
Those are big pumps and may not be owned by any LE or Fire Agency in the area.
Stand firm Rachael and Liz. Watch everything they do. Orange county should be made the lead agency IMO.
I will tell them you said so, ATG.-
Teasing, I think in such a complex case I still look to my virtual Poppa for the pat on the head to keep going. thank you.
B
My thoughts and prayers to Chris’s family. I feel numb considering it was thought he left on his own cognition. I am truly saddened by how and why his life ended.
Blink, I know you put your heart and soul into this case. God bless your perseverance.
Thank you friend

As a mother, my heart brakes so much for anyone who suffers the loss of a child. Rachael, as well as Chris’s girlfriend, and all of Chris’s loved ones, are certainly in my prayers and thoughts. God’s blessings.
Very sad, but certainly not the end of the case. Justice for Chris needs to be served. Hopefully, this will also bring LE closer to solving Tracy’s disappearance. Glad the Ocasios have been there to support Rachael George, but this must be difficult for them, too, knowing it’s likely their daughter suffered a similar fate.
I’m not sure what info Rachael has that makes her doubt James Hataway is the killer, but it seems more than a coincidence that two young people disappear after last being seen with the same man. I’m curious about the mystery woman who claims Hataway tried to kill her almost a year earlier. Did she notify LE? If her story’s true, seems like all of this could’ve been avoided.
My heart goes out to these families awaiting word on their loved ones.
We’re all on the same page. What a heart breaking way to leave this earth.
I share the sentiments of everyone here. My prayers to Chris and his family. I wish I do or say something. I cannot stop thinking about his last 2 years. May his soul and that of his family find peace.
Love and light~
I’m so furious that someone could take the life of another human being and throw him away like trash. This is a sick s.o.b. who will kill again.
Poor Chris. I am so sorry this happened to him. I think he could have and would have turned things around. I fell in love with his spirit at first glance.
Sorry for the sad success and madder than a wet cat–who knows darn well who to blame for this disgraceful doing.
You and me both. I cannot explain it but the first time I saw his pic, and the personal images I have seen from the family, in his core, he was a kind soul.
There is an image I have not yet published where he is holding the small child of a friend, and as a Mother, I can tell you I was struck by it’s tenderness as he was lifting her up to the jungle gym. I trust children’s character assessments over adults any day. This sweetie trusted him with her safety, and she could.
He and his family deserve justice and our society deserves to have those that harmed Chris off the street.

The whole affair is quite bizarre. Hataway may not be guilty of the Chris George murder but, I truly believe he knows who is. Maybe the whole thing was a robbery (drug-related perhaps)see-Tyler Watters. With regard to Traci Ocasio, her disappearance may have been revenge for the incident that occurred at Taps (fight with Hutto brother which ended up with the aforementioned individual in jail). Again, Hataway could possibly be an accessory in the Ocasio case. Like I said, it’s all very bizarre. Hataway sure seems to have been surrounded by many people who had little regard for human life. The fact that more then a few women have come forward claiming that James attacked them adds more confusion to the situation. Hate to keep using the word but this is all quite “bizarre”. I truly hope LE can solve these cases.
I just noticed Chris’ license expires this week. How fitting.
Now freedom must expire for those who harmed him.
My thoughts are with his family – sending peace and love to all.
Sandy what a moving statement.
You got my bullseye this afternoon.
B
Rachael, may you and Chris’ loved ones finally find the peace you so well deserve. I’m well aware that peace will only come through justice for Chris and there’s a long road ahead. I truly believe you’re getting there, though. This is the first time since this case broke I’ve felt that way. I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to anyone, and everyone who has helped in any way. Obviously, thank you to Blink and team. But also thank you to anyone who came forward, or helped search. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen comments on here like “Man, what is it with Florida?”. I can’t deny the insanity that ensues down here. However, there are some very good people here. Sadly, most of you are shocked at how these cases have been handled. If you had grown up in and around these Central Florida communities, you wouldn’t be. As a whole, we don’t feel there’s any justice. That is why you have random strangers that never met Chris, or Tracy trudging through the swamps of Florida infested with venomous snakes, spiders, and massive alligators risking their own well beings to try to bring justice to families that deserve it. That is why you have witnesses coming forward knowing that the majority of the people involved are still walking the streets, and they could very well meet the same fate. Thank you to all those who have done these things.
Regarding the semi-automatic handgun, tied to a homicide, found in Lake Underhill in Sept (?)..Tyler Watters’ attorney seemed to shut things down at that point.
Do we have anymore information about that gun or the homicide in question?
(sorry if this is a dumb question and already gone over–my memory is getting dimmer.)
Thx Blink and all Blinkers.
Excellent Observation Word Girl, I was waiting for someone to bring that back up.
My sources say that handgun is connected to this case, how exactly, remains to be seen.
B
oops, here’s where Blink wrote about it
http://blinkoncrime.com/2010/09/23/chris-george-and-tracy-ocasio-still-missing-in-fl-will-the-lake-underhill-gun-tip-bring-new-leads/
How long does DNA testing normally take?
There are many variables to your question, but I am told to expect DNA confirmation on what is believed to be Chris’s remains by week’s end.
B
Thanks for asking that question mag603- and thanks for answering Blink- I had no idea it could be that soon, although for the family, and you, I suspect that time will seem much longer…
I would think there are those who are dreading the confirmation, but not out of compassion for the family, or because of their worst fears being realized, but instead out of fear of another sort.
ps- thanks to sandyeggo, for pointing out Chris’s license ex.date. God works in mysterious ways, as I read your post I remembered Blink once saying that the lost and missing are often found in their own time…
It would seem that is so.
My cont prayers for strength and comfort
You are so right..
An investigator I admire very much told me that.. “Sometimes we need to realize that what we need to find, or resolutions to a case, are working on God’s time, not ours, as much as we would prefer.
Good Man.
B
A good friend of mine was part of the equisearch of that area. He said there was so much political red tape that they couldn’t do a thorough search. The entire search party was confined to a specific search zone.
I hope LE and local/state governments take this as a lesson. When trying to find a missing person, cut the BS and let them do a FULL search. Valuable clues could be lost due to the time elapsed in this case. A killer doesn’t care about red tape and property lines. If anything, they should research the search areas allowed and avoid them. Unbelievable!
ex gf
Your information about the political red tape should be given to the local media. If concerned citizens do not call out the BS that occurs during one of these searches, it will continue.
Since Equisearch is an outside search agency, sometimes LE is doing all that they can to impede them. It is called territory protecting.
The attitude is that this is our territory and you may be here, but we are going to make it tough for you to do your job. And furthermore, if you don’t like it, I will arrange for you to spend some time in my jail.
I only found out about the difficulty in the search until this weekend. I asked him if he searched the area around Lake Clarke and he said only what they’d let them. He was so frustrated that he could barely talk about it after they found the bones last week.
Hopefully the media will catch on. ATG- you always have such good insight.
Please tell him Blink says thank you for his search efforts, they are important and meaningful, none the less.
The area was searched a dozen times, but I have been in his shoes in a different case, and the burden is heavy for those invested in their compassion for whom they are trying to find.
I cannot tell you how gloriously heartbreaking this is, if I were to assign a phrase.
Chris is coming home.
B
ex gf
What I posted about territory with LE is something I know from personal experience. I have listened to the personnel in a particular agency litteraly express their outrage that another agency was present in their jurisdiction. Not good for the public or for justice.
This is not just one experience with a single agency. I have heard this multiple times with multiple agencies.
The media will not catch on unless many people bring it to their attention. Only then will the cleansing light of truth fix the problem.
Blink, pass this on if you like. If they drained a couple of lakes near where that boot was found I think they’d find Tracy Ocasio. If they drained a couple of lakes near Millenia Blvd and John Young Parkway they’d probably find Jennifer Kesse. What are they waiting for?
As Blink said, Chris is finally coming home. It’s hard to believe it’s actually true.
Happy Birthday, Chris.
There is no doubt in my mind that you were the best thing that happened to him in both his life, and in his passing.
I do not know many that have that gift to give, but I am in awe of you as you know.
Me thinks on his Birthday he gave you and his Mom the gift this year. The only one he could.
B
On what would have been Chris’ 31st birthday I want to thank all of you, most of whom never knew Chris, for your thoughts, prayers, encouragement, and thought provoking posts to this site.
Many thanks to Blink and her team who have worked tirelessly to seek justice, not only for Chris, but for many others that no longer have a voice.
I have found Blink to be a woman of integrity, with a gift of investigation, that has a tenacious appetite for the truth and a heart for those that have met with injustice. I’m thankful that she has taken up Chris’ cause. This case simply wouldn’t be where it is (or where it’s headed) without her.
There are friends and family that also loved and supported Chris over the years…even during the hard times when he was struggling and not particularly lovable.
Even through those stages I must say that as a mom, though I did my fair share of tough loving, I was always aware of his tender heart, though at times he certainly tried to hide it.
Jen touched on it when she said in her post, “He had a gentle soul and that was apparent from first introduction.”
I don’t doubt that it was his heart that ultimately drew his girl friend into his life. He is missing out on so much by no longer being here and being with her. She is a phenomenal woman and, other than times that are now memories, she is the best gift Chris ever brought into my life.
It’s sad and wrong that Chris was taken from us and lost the opportunity to live a full life. However, I’m encouraged and thankful that his body has been recovered and optimistic that this case will continue to move forward and ultimately that the person(s) responsible will be brought to justice. –Rachael
Peace and Love to My Ladies today and everyday.
B
i had never seen human bones before, i feel that the tv stations showed them floating in the water ,for sensationalism,i am not sure how i feel about that ,i would support the people who knew chris,in their feelings on that ,actually it didnt disturb me ,it was eeire but since i wanted him found, i was happy to see his bones and skull,but i am really hoping it didnt disturb his loved ones.
Happy Birthday, Chris! May this be the year you find peace and justice!
Rachael and Chris’ gf: Chris’ gentle soul shines out from his eyes in every picture I’ve seen of him. I never met him but he touched my heart, as I’m sure he did many others. We all stand behind you and him on the path to justice.
Susanm
I am sorry that the bones floating bothered you. Chris has long since moved to the next level. Our bodies are just a vehicle for transportation of the real you which is your soul.
If the bones were floating, then the body was probably not weighted. If someone had gone daily to the lake, they likley would have found him in thirty to forty days depending on the water temperature.
Rest in peace Chris and thank you father for the gift of revelation to his family.
ATG
I don’t think they bothered susanm, I think her concern was for the family. I agree, but I also had the benefit of warning them, so they did stay away until we had a conversation about what was going on.
The bones, were actually NOT floating. Not one.
I am discussing this now because I have discussed it with the family, or it would not appear here.
I strongly believe that Chris was deceased and possibly weighted in that pond when he was placed there.
Had he been alive and drowned, as ATG points out, it is unlikely his remains would have been recovered the way they were (intentionally vague).
I guess I feel an obligation, as we vest so much of ourselves, to share my observations and feelings when I saw Chris’s remains for the first time.
1. I thought- there you are. Thanks for showing up, we have been very busy trying to find you. Don’t be embarrassed, technically the TSA sees more of folks anatomy then yours, at the airport.
2. I thought- Mom’s right there Chris, on the bank. She brought you in, she will see you out now. You got Dad up there and Mom down here and “your lady” is going to be ok.
3. I thought- Although we are trained that there is rarely happy endings in this work, there is an odd jubilation slash grief emotion that lives on your vocal chords, threatening to give you away, that needs it’s own word.
4. I thought- I am thankful because I believe in my core, that it matters how a loved one, or your child leaves this Earth, and one’s ability to lay them to rest. If nothing else, I am thankful that Chris’s Girlfriend and his Mother and his family can rest at least with the knowledge that he comes home to them.
5. I thought- Note to self, I need to pray for the people responsible for his death, and their families, who will be losing sons in different ways.
6. Today, I think, Happy Earthly Birthday
The rest, when this is over.

Rachael,
It’s still surreal to me that Chris has come home to you around the same time God brought him to you 31 years ago. Coincidence?…I don’t know but I believe in due time God always has the answers. I never thought good memories would hurt as much as they do right now but I also believe this will pass and there will be a time when I will be able to cherish and celebrate Tracy’s life and these same memories that haunt me today…I truly hope you are now on your way to be able to celebrate Chris’s life and his memories because I truly believe that’s what our kids would want us to do…I’m really glad for you!…God Bless.
J
I believe in my heart that you, Liz, and Joey will do that. I pray for it, and I will do whatever we can to assist, as you already know.
I say again, the support you have shown Chris, Rachael and their family, is nothing short of astounding.
B
Happy birthday, Chris. I have no doubt you would have successfully turned your life around, as you were trying to do when someone cut your life short. I’m sorry you never got a chance to do that but at least you had people who love you and believed in you.
Peace and prayers to his family, girlfriend, and friends.
Welcome Lilah, and I made your edit.
B
Happy Birthday sweet friend!!! I love and miss you!!
In response to Blink’s comment, “Thanks for showing up, we have been very busy trying to find you.”
One of my prayers through all of this has been that Chris’ bones would “cry out” to someone/something that would lead to the recovery of his body. That prayer was loosely based on Genesis 4 when Cain killed Abel and the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.”
God has known where Chris’ body was all this time; I was just asking that it would be revealed to us and in His infinite wisdom; He has allowed it at the perfect time.
Don’t be mistaken…He also knows whodunit and whoknowsit!
My continued prayer is Proverbs 28:17, “A man tormented by the guilt of murder will be a fugitive till death: let no one support him.”
This web of deceit is untangling and whether God chooses to reveal the whole story to us or not the person(s) responsible and even those that know the “secret” are living in their own self imposed hell.
Seems to me that it would be worth the risk for the secret keepers to come forward at this point rather than run the risk of being implicated in a murder. Just sayin’…
I have to be honest, the below posts made me cry my eyes out (while reading at work)…

God’s blessings. My heart truly aches for you.
Blink
Thanks for the clarification about the bones. I was thinking that the muddy dirty clothing that Hataway changed at his grandmothers indicated that he had drowned Chris at the edge of the pond/lake and then pushed the body out deeper and let it sink.
Sometimes ladies use symbolism in their writing such as the “bones floating” to make a point. My thinking is sometimes too linear and too the point. The result of years of engineering work.
Your reply was very eye opening regarding information that you could not presently reveal. I will be waiting for what you write when this case concludes.
ATG- that is really a good point I had not thought of. I believe it was Word Girl and I who confused most by attempting to talk about the remains observations I subsequently did discuss, in a figurative way at first.
To clarify, as confirmed via a few different ways, Hataway was not actually with Chris George and Tyler Watters when Chris went missing. That is not to say that he may not have been “in” on whatever happened to Chris, or an accessory after the fact, that investigation is ongoing.
What I can conclusively say, is that sometime after 6PM on 2/11/09, when Chris George was last known to be in the physical presence of at least one confirmed individual, Tyler Watters, (by his own statement as well as other corroborating information) Chris George went missing and was not seen or heard from again until his recovery on February 21, 2011.
Following his disappearance by no more than a maximum of about 3 hours, Jimmy Hataway and Tyler Watters were driven back to the scene and subsequently removed Chris’s vehicle, cleaned it, and returned to the scene the next day where they were discovered by Apopka Police exiting the woods they claimed Chris ran into.
That said, there are no witnesses to identify what Watters and Hataway did when they returned to the scene that evening as they were simply dropped off so if whatever happened to Chris happened at that juncture, Hataway was involved.
There is a credible and verified tip/lead in this case by an informant granting “substantial assistance” . In order for that individual to benefit in terms of “reduced time” other mitigations to their sentencing, this case pretty much must result in an arrest. For that alone, we are very encouraged.
And yes, I will have droves to write about at it’s conclusion.
DNA confirmation and Medical Examiners reports are pending, but it is Chris.
B
Judi,
I think you speak for all of us when you share how moving and heartbreaking you find these family-of-Chris-and-Tracy messages.
These are such remarkable family and friends who have grown through tragic circumstances. They have transcended the anger and bitterness and pain, to be a support to others, to speak with authentic voices.
You know, that’s what it is about the Harrington’s, too. Authentic.
Authentic pain. No whining, no grumbling, whimpering, or complaining:
just full-on, inexorable, merciless, relentless pain. Yet, we see a peacefulness about the H’s, the O’s and Chris’s mom and friends.
Is this what we have to go through to get there?
I pray that they receive the peace that passes understanding and will someday feel that the unresolved pit of pain will be filled with a transending message. Great memories will abound.
Lest I sound biblio-ish, here is a better way of saying it in Psalm 51:8: “Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.”

Go Chris, Go Tracy, Go Morgan!!
Go!
Hi blink
I read your site and follow the progress of several cases on a regular basis. I always feel a deep sadness for the pain I imagine family members suffer. My dad died suddenly last week from bacterial pneumonia. I have never suffered a loss before and I am devastated. I am thankful that I have consistently told my dad both verbally and in writing, how much I admire, love and appreciate him. Still, the fact that it was sudden, leaves me in despair beyond words.
Knowing what this pain feels like makes me feel even more sorry for your story players who lose family members without warning or closure. I cannot imagine how they are able to survive each day. They are all true survivors and inspirations.
Thank you so much, Starsky, for sharing.
I am very sorry for your loss. And yes, I have experienced a sudden loss as well; I’m sure that many who read and write here know the same pain.
Ironically, I work with a population who could succumb to the same demise as your Dad. That time-bomb is not easy as a professional, but devastating to families.
With my own dad who was fixed to live 16 years longer, ahem, I had an enlightened visit with him two months before he soared from this universe. He cleared up some misinformation and told me as I opened his kitchen door to the carport, “I’ve always love you. And I always will.”
That communication of love serves as a final blessing and release for me of my great, dear, Daddie.
I wish you well in your grief and healing. Thank you for bringing your pain to us here…we will hold you in our hearts and we definitely understand the message you’re passing on in the pursuit of justice for Kyron Horman.
Starsky– I’m so sorry to hear of your devastating loss. It’s never easy to lose someone we love, no matter what the circumstances.
I agree with you that grief is hard to bear but in time you will find that it will release its grip on you little by little. You will never “get over” it, so don’t even attempt to try. But I promise you that your grief will change forms and become more bearable in the future.
Wishing you and your family the very best and may memories of your dad provide comfort along the way. –Rachael
Rachael- Amazing words from a grieving mother.

Thanks, Boz.
I find it interesting that the reporter in the story twice says “he doesn’t know what ‘happened’…” to Ocasio and George.
If he said he didn’t know where they were, it might make more sense (and also might be a lie), but he indicates that something did happen to them and he doesn’t know what it was.
If my keys disappear, would I say I don’t know what ‘happened’ to them or would I say ‘I don’t know where they are”?
I guess ‘happened’ is colloquial for whereabouts; still, it seems ominous to me.
