Truck driver’s body found after he disappeared in Florida

The body of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, 41 was discovered in coastal Georgia, according to FBI officials.

The body of a truck driver was discovered in Georgia nearly two weeks after he went missing from a Florida rest stop, officials said.

Alejandro Jacomino González, 41, of Miami, picked up vehicles in Georgia on April 16 and was transporting them to Miami. He stopped at a rest stop in Brevard County, Florida on April 17 about 1:21 a.m. and rested for several hours.

The truck’s GPS showed shortly before 8 a.m., the truck “traveled one exit south and then turned north toward Jacksonville, Florida,” according to the FBI.

“Shortly after, González stopped responding and the truck was reported missing,” the FBI said.

The truck, without some of the vehicles González was transporting, was located in Port Wentworth, Georgia. Three vehicles were recovered in Florida, FBI officials said.

González’s body was located in coastal Georgia. Details on how he died, when and how his remains were located were not provided.
