Summary

On May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio spent the night watching the Orlando Magic game at one of her favorite bars in Orlando, Florida. She told her mother she’d be home afterward, but she never returned.

The next morning, Tracy didn’t answer her phone, and by that evening, her yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned just a few miles from her house - unlocked, with none of her belongings inside.

But Tracy was nowhere to be found.

Sixteen years later, she is still missing, leaving her community asking the same question: where is Tracy Ocasio?

*On the night of May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio watched the Orlando Magic game at the Tap Room in Orlando, Florida and left around 1:30 a.m. She never made it home, and her mother discovered she was missing the next morning.

That evening, Tracy’s yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned a few miles from her house, with no sign of Tracy and none of her belongings inside. Surveillance footage later confirmed she left the bar with James “Jimmy” Hataway, who became the primary suspect.

Despite extensive searches, Tracy has never been found. Her case remains open, and Jimmy has never been charged in connection with her disappearance.

If you have information in this case, please call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.*
