BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — The body of a truck driver was found Wednesday, days after he was reported missing along with the semi-truck he was driving, the FBI confirmed.
According to FBI agents, the body of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, 41, who is originally from Cuba, was discovered in coastal Georgia.
A cause of death has not been released.
According to the FBI, prior to his body being found, Gonzalez had last been seen on April 17 at the Brevard County Rest Area on Interstate 95 southbound in Grant-Valkaria. He arrived at the rest stop at about 1:21 a.m. and rested there for several hours, authorities said.
Agents said Gonzalez was transporting vehicles from the Port of Brunswick in Georgia, which he picked up the day prior, to Miami when he vanished.
According to the FBI, GPS from the truck shows that someone drove the truck south one exit before turning north toward Jacksonville at 7:49 a.m. after leaving the rest stop.
“Soon after, Gonzalez became unreachable and the truck was reported missing,” the FBI said in a news release.
According to agents, the truck was located later that day in Port Wentworth, Georgia, however Gonzalez was not found with it and several vehicles were missing from the hauler.
“Since the discovery of the truck, three vehicles have been located in Florida. Others are still missing,” the FBI said.
Agents are now seeking photos and video footage from anyone who was in or around the Brevard County rest stop between the hours of 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on April 17, “specifically focusing on the southern portion of the rest area near the ramp that enters back onto I-95 South.”
Anyone who has information about what agents are calling the “Brevard County Car Hauler Hijacking,” or would like to submit photos or video, is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 or click here.
