OCOEE, Fla. -- Detectives will search a wooded area near Ocoee High School on Thursday for a missing woman after her father got a tip from a psychic, he told Local 6 News.
Tracy Ocasio, 27, has been missing since May 27 when she was seen leaving the Tap Room bar in MetroWest with a man named James Hataway, whose the main suspect in her disappearance, police said.
Ocasio's father, Joe Ocasio, said he got a tip from a psychic to search the area off Ocoee Crown Point Parkway. He said he went to the area on Saturday and found several dirt mounds, which will apparently be investigated by police.
Joe Ocasio said he also spoke to EquuSearch officials about searching the wooded area. It's not know if or when the group will conduct a search.
Meanwhile, the Ocoee Police Department returned the computers seized from Hataway's home after searching them for evidence. The computers were taken from Hataway's Ocoee home in June during the execution of a search warrant.
Police said the computers did not reveal any information about Ocasio's whereabouts, but officers noted that Hataway showed an interest in Neo-Nazi propaganda.
The computer was also used to search suicide after Hataway was initially question in Ocasio's disappearance, police said.
Hataway told investigators Ocasio gave him a ride home from the bar and left.
Ocasio's parents recently released more images of their daughter, hoping to keep the story in the forefront of the public's mind.
