50 people in 50 days: Woman vanished after leaving bar

Editor's note: Nancy Grace's new show on HLN, "Nancy Grace: America's Missing," is dedicated to finding 50 people in 50 days. As part of the effort, which relies heavily on audience participation, CNN.com's news blog This Just In will feature the stories of the missing.

This is the 29th case, and it will be shown Thursday at 9 p.m. on HLN.

Authorities say Tracy Ocasio (pictured) disappeared after a surveillance camera recorded her leaving an Orlando, Florida, bar with a man in late May 2009.

Her car was found abandoned the next afternoon about 200 yards from the home of the man, James Hataway, who told investigators she had driven him home and then left, according to police.

Ocasio's purse was in the car; her key, cell phone and identification were not found.

Ocasio, 27 at the time, met Hataway a week before.

Police said Hataway is a suspect, but has not been charged, in Ocasio’s disappearance. He is charged in an unrelated attempted-murder case.

Watch Nancy Grace Monday through Sunday starting at 8 p.m. ET on HLN. For the latest from Nancy Grace click here.

    time warner and the NFL bring you the privitized NASA. Every music cd we never purchase advances the new national effort. Meanwhile retired air force book writers talk show guests insist u.f.o. Alien abductions must have a trillion dollar speculation budget. The night sky is easier to see when the race for space is the race for ratings.

    What's the most important thing? More important than anything else? Bringing closure to her loved ones. They do not know what happened to her.
    You take this sc/mbag James Hataway who obviously has murdered or sold her, and start cutting off his fingers one by one. By the second finger, he will tell you everything you want to know. He didn't follow the rules set by God, he has taken a human life.
    What's a couple fingers in comparison? If you stop being weak and stupid; then, you will save lives.

      Here's what you do. You put a Top Secret military type team together. They just go around cutting off the fingers of those who are obviously guilty. They gain the information about the whereabouts of people's loved ones.
      There is nothing more important to many.
