BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A body discovered in coastal Georgia has been confirmed as a missing truck driver who disappeared earlier this month at a Central Florida rest area, according to federal investigators.
Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez was last seen in the early morning hours of April 17 at the Interstate 95 South Brevard County Rest Area in Grant-Valkaria. Investigators said he had picked up a shipment of cars on April 16 at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia, bound for Miami.
