The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued an alert seeking the public's help in locating Alejandro Jacomino González, a Cuban truck driver who disappeared under suspicious circumstances. González was en route from Brunswick, Georgia, to Miami, Florida, carrying a load of vehicles when he vanished.
According to reports, González began his route on April 16th. His GPS tracking showed his truck stopping at a rest area in Brevard County, Florida, on April 17th. Several hours later, the truck's GPS registered an unusual movement: it exited the highway, then immediately made a U-turn and headed north towards Jacksonville, before communication with González ceased.
Authorities located the abandoned truck on April 17th in Port Wentworth, Georgia. However, González was not with the vehicle, and several of the vehicles he was transporting were missing. The FBI has since recovered three of the stolen vehicles in various Florida locations, but González and the remaining cargo are still unaccounted for.
The FBI is treating this case as a potential hijacking and a suspicious disappearance. They have released a wanted poster with González's description and are urging anyone who was in the I-95 South rest area in Grant-Valkaria between 1 AM and 8 AM on April 17th, or who might have security camera footage from that area, to come forward. Information can be provided to the FBI to aid in the search for González and the recovery of the remaining cargo.
