FBI investigates missing truck driver: Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez

The FBI is investigating the suspicious disappearance of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, 41, after he was last seen on April 17 at a truck stop in Brevard County. Gonzalez became unreachable and the truck was reported missing. The truck was found in Georgia the next day, but Gonzalez was missing. 

A missing truck driver who disappeared under suspicious circumstances has been found dead in Georgia, the FBI said Wednesday.

In a news release, the FBI said the body of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez has been found in "Coastal Georgia." Officials did not release further details on where his body was found, nor additional information on the circumstances of his disappearance or death.

The backstory:

Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez was reported missing nearly two weeks ago after his truck hauler was found in Georgia – and several vehicles, and him, were missing, officials said.

According to the FBI:

  • On April 16, Gonzalez picked up a shipment of vehicles from the Port of Brunswick in Georgia. Those vehicles were expected to be delivered to Miami, Florida.
  • On April 17, Gonzalez was last seen during the early morning hours at the I-95 South Brevard County Rest Area in Grant-Valkaria, Florida.
  • That same day, his truck was found in Port Wentworth, Georgia with several vehicles missing. He was not found. Officials said three of the missing vehicles were found in Florida.
  • April 29: The FBI announced that Gonzalez's body had been found in Georgia.
