ATLANTA — Federal investigators confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a truck driver who disappeared under suspicious circumstances after leaving the Port of Brunswick has been found dead in Southern Florida.
The FBI said Alejandro Gonzalez picked up multiple cars from the Port of Brunswick on April 16. He then headed for Miami, which was the scheduled drop-off location.
The FBI said Gonzalez pulled over to rest shortly before 1:30 a.m. at a truck stop in Brevard County, Florida, and left shortly before 7:30 a.m.
According to the truck’s GPS, the rig drove south to the next exit, then got back on the interstate and headed north toward Jacksonville.
