Tracy Ocasio is still missing. The 28 year old woman disappeared three months ago after watching a ball game with friends at an Orlando, Florida, sports bar. Police have James Hataway in custody as a person of interest on unrelated charges of battery robbery and false imprisonment arising from a 2008 incident. His role in the disappearance, if any, is unknown. The reward for information concerning Tracy Ocasio's disappearance is $20,000.
Elizabeth Ocasio last spoke with her daughter about 8:30 p.m. May 26. Tracy Ocasio said she planned to come home after watching a televised basketball game with friends at the Florida Tap Room.. She never returned home.
On the afternoon of May 27, police found Tracy Ocasio's car in a rundown neighborhood three miles from the Ocasio home. The car was parked on private property. Tracy's purse was in the car. Tracy's ID, cell phone and car keys were not recovered. James Hataway, 28, is apparently seen on the bar's surveillance tape. It appears that Hataway left the bar with Tracy. Hataway claims that Ocasio had given him a ride home from the bar that night and that he didn't see Ocasio after she dropped him off. Hataway's home was just 200 yards from where Ocasio's car was found. Hataway allegedly took a polygraph test which police claim showed some discrepancies. (However, Legal Pub cautions on overreliance on polygraphs. LINK) No forensic evidence was found to suggest Ocasio was injured or killed inside her car.
Hataway faces charges on an alleged assault of a woman in 2008. He allegedly tried to hurt a woman who was giving him a ride in that incident. Hataway is held on $250,000 bail for the the charges stemming out of the 2008 incident. He has not been charged with regard to Ocasio's death. Hataway is to be considered innocent of all charges unless otherwise proven in a court of law. For any tips on Ocasio's disappearance, please call the tip line at 1-800-423-TIPS. A $20,000 reward is available through the family.

Sounds real similar to the other allegations.
Hataway is creepy!
Looks like Hataway has more information than he is sharing.
Hataway is facing charges for his alleged assault against Rachel Clarke, 23, for a Casselberry, FL Hataway is charged with Burglary of a conveyance with a battery, robbery, false imprisonment and battery.
Jimmy Hataways’ friend allegedly claims police entered the residence he shared with Hataway shortly after the incident and cuffed him, thinking he was Jimmy. After police realized the friend was not Jimmy, they left the home and made no attempt to arrest Jimmy until some time thereafter.
Did the police stop focussing on other possible people of interest?
April 15, 2009, Paul Hutto was supposedly arrested on a battery charge for allegedly knocking Tracy Ocasio to the ground during an altercation outside a bar. Paul was never convicted and apparently the charges dropped.
First of all, Jeremiah and Paul Hutto were cleared immediately by detectives after their initial interviews. Although they were allegedly at the Florida Tap Room and then Gators the evening Tracy went missing, they have nothing to do with her disappearance.
Neither Hutto brother was asked to take a polygraph or provide a DNA sample because there was no reasonto believe they were involved in her disappearance.
IMHO, something really smells here!
sounds like a conspiracy
To the best of my knowledge, no one has been charged in Tracy Ocasio's disappearance and there are NO suspects at this time.
Yup no worries. So far no official suspects.
Still no closer to solving the missing person case...
IMHO, something really smells here!
