"We are real curious about the suspect and where his comfort areas are. We know he lives right here," Miller said."

I like Tim Miller.. He ruffles some feathers sometimes but I do not care. His teams have found so many people.

Good luck Tim Miller.

Was asked to pass this on.

Texas EquuSearch will continue the search for Tracy Ocasio on Tuesday,
June 16th.
Texas EquuSearch would like to thank the volunteers, Law Enforcement,
the Mayor and City officials from Ocee, and the media for their help and
support. We are hopeful with continued community support, Tracy can be
found.
Donations of money, bottled water, Gatorade, food for volunteer lunches,
and non perishable snacks are needed for this effort. Gift cards for
office supply stores would be especially helpful as we are in need of
printer ink (HP 27and28) and general office supplies. Donations can be
brought to the Command Center anytime after 8AM. Monetary donations can
be made at the Command Center or by going to the Texas EquuSearch website,
www.texasequusearch.org . All donations are tax deductible and the proper
receipt will be provided.
As of Monday afternoon, over 700 acres have been searched.About 60
volunteers participated on Monday. The focus has been on the area between
the Florida Taproom and where Tracy's vehicle was found. Texas EquuSearch
met with Law Enforcement on Monday morning to discuss the status of the
search and possible other search areas.
There is an URGENT need for foot searchers, ATVs, and horses for Tuesday's
search. Horse owners will need to present a current Coggins test at
registration. All volunteers must be at least 18 and present a valid
photo ID. Volunteers should wear long sleeves, sturdy shoes and a hat.
Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended.
The Command Center is located at John Vignetti Park, 1906 Adair St.,
Ocoee, Florida. Registration begins at 8AM and volunteers may come
throughout the day. The last teams are expected to be deployed about 2PM
daily.

Volunteers keep up search for Ocasio
By Marva Hinton
@ June 16, 2009 11:02 AM

Texas EquuSearch volunteers are heading back into a wooded area in west Orange County Tuesday to search for Tracy Ocasio.

"I've taken two days of vacation from work to come out here," said Ron Feb, a Texas EquuSearch official volunteer.

Feb has been helping EquuSearch look for Tracy since Saturday.

"It is frustrating," said Feb. "You want to find her so bad, but you just have to have the mind set that if the area you're searching you don't find her, at least you know where she's not."

The conditions have been grueling during the search. Much of the roughly 700 acres they've covered is pretty tough terrain, and temperatures have been holding steady in the mid 90s.

"It's tough work," said Feb. "It's hard. It's brutal out here in the heat."

But Feb says having Tracy's dad, Joe Ocasio, around them has kept him motivated.

"If you don't really know what you're doing out here, why you're here, you look over at the father, and that says everything you need to know. You're out here for that man. He's going through hell. It's just unbelievable. I try to search like it's one of my family members that are missing. I want to bring him closure."

Tracy hasn't been seen since May 27 when she left the Tap Room Bar in MetroWest with James Hataway, a person of interest in her disappearance. Hataway is being held in the Seminole County Jail on unrelated charges.

EquuSearch Director Tim Miller says the group will keep looking for the 27 year old until they've searched every area that can be searched and used every resource at their disposal.

Volunteers and search crews from Texas-based EquuSearch are out for a fifth day in a row to look for missing Tracy Ocasio.

The 27-year-old Ocoee woman was last seen alive on May 27 when she left a MetroWest bar with James Hataway. She has not been heard from or seen since that night.

Crews have combed several hundred acres near Ocoee since the search began Saturday.

Investigators have received roughly 40 tips since Tracy Ocasio disappeared, but so far, none has panned out.

Tim Miller on Dana Pretzer on about the case.  Turning out to be a more difficult search than he thought.  Finding out more and more about the suspect. 

Basically Tim is talking about all the stuff we already knew.  All about the other girls coming forward about Hataway, then also about Odna Chris George.

So Tim is broadening the search.  Now they feel they are looking for two or more victims in the area.  So they are going to try and find Tracy and Onda Chris George and if there are any other possible victims.

Tim is working with Ocoee and Apopka PD on the searches.

Ocoee police seized a computer from the home of James Hataway, the only person of interest in the case of missing Tracy Ocasio.

Police served a search warrant at 147 Lyle Street today at 2 p.m. after detectives discovered Hataway is obsessed with "murder, suicide, cannibalism, vampires and serial murders," according to a press release.

Two computer towers and a stack of CDs were confiscated this afternoon, police said.

Hataway shares the home with his father, Virgil Hataway.

Colt Hickox said he considers Hataway a brother and knows him better than anyone. Hataway does not have any obsessions with demonic or strange occult type behavior, Hickox said.

“We like old Excalibur-type of swords and old antique weapons, we are both into that stuff,” Hickox said. “He’s into the pirate-era, even before Pirates of the Caribbean came out.”

Meanwhile, a group of volunteers continued their search in wooded areas looking for 27-year-old Ocasio who was last seen leaving a MetroWest bar with Hataway on May 27.

Friends say the latest development in Hataway's alleged behavior does not come as a shock.

“He’s done so many bad things in the past, nothing surprises me,” Emily Hamilton, Ocasio’s best friend, said. “We aren’t going to know anything until we find Tracy.”

Detectives urge anyone with information to


I'll be honest, this article is far too vague for me without a source link. I am shocked that got through editorial for the Sentinel.

EquuSearch Volunteers End Ocasio Search Saturday
Volunteers Have Been For Tracy Ocasio Searching Since Last Weekend


POSTED: 2:09 pm EDT June 17, 2009
UPDATED: 1:24 pm EDT June 20, 2009


OCOEE, Fla. -- On Saturday, the parents of missing woman Tracy Ocasio joined more than 75 volunteers to help search for their daughter.

"It's not a good day," said Ocasio's father, Joe. "It's the last big search, the last hope. We haven't given up on a miracle, but I think we are looking for a body. That's not a good thought, so there are a lot of emotions."

Saturday was also the search group Texas EquuSearch's last day of looking for the missing 27-year-old woman.

The family remained hopeful with EquuSearch combing through more than 2,000 acres for the missing woman.

"It's extremely hot here right now," said Shawn Clark as he walked through the woods searching for Ocasio. "We're out here right now; we're out helping these guys find a cell phone or even a body."

Ocasio's parents said they understand that the search is over on Saturday. It has been extremely hot, crews are drained and there's nowhere else to look at this time, officials said.

"I think everyone is just burnt out," said Tim Miller, of Texas EquuSearch. "We've done everything we can do, if you want to know the truth, and don't have a lot of areas to go to."

Five full search teams came out to look for Ocasio. Most volunteers never even knew her.

"All you can think is they have this big gaping hole in the center of their chest, and we want to let them know that the entire community feels for them in some way," said Les Draper.

Draper's daughter is around the same age as Ocasio, he said, and he wanted to help.

"I mean, from the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful and blessed for what they've done for our family," Joe Ocasio said. "Whether we find her or not, we will never ever forget this moment."

The family asked the public to try to remember seeing a 2005 Yellow Cobalt LS between the hours of 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. May 27. Her parents said they hope the public has information to help them find out what happened to their daughter.

Police Still Holding Person Of Interest In Disappearance

Tracy Ocasio was last seen with James Hataway.

On May 27, she was seen in a surveillance video wearing a baseball cap leaving the Tap Room, a bar in Metrowest, with Hataway.

Police said they learned on Thursday that Hataway has expressed interest in things like serial murders, vampires and cannibalism.

Ocasio's parents said the news was very eerie. They said they believe that the more things that are found out about Hataway when he lived in a nearby house with his father, the more clues detectives have as to what may have happened to their daughter.

"If they found more bodies with my daughter, it would not surprise me," mother Elizabeth Ocasio said.

Another person, 29-year-old Chris George, is also missing, and Hataway is one of the last people seen with him, police said.

Hataway is being held on unrelated charges that he allegedly assaulted a Seminole County woman last August. He is considered a person of interest in Tracy Ocasio's disappearance.

Authorities seized two computers from Hataway's father's house. Investigators also removed items having to do with the dark arts -- generally associated with Satanism and witchcraft.

Shame on Channel 9. What an awful thing to hear from the media. She should be getting information like that in private from the detectives.

North of Lee Road (Route 423) and just West of I4.  On Klaasend's map, just about where the word "satellite" is on the top right corner.

Thank you Lovin! Smile My old computer dislikes youtube and is not that fond of google maps either. They both make my browser crash.

I get so conflicted when a body is found. I want the family to find their loved one and bring them home but yet I hope this body found isn't their loved one. Yet, that means it's someone else's loved one. It's tragic either way, the knowing and the not knowing.
