OCOEE, Fla. -- Bad weather scrubbed plans to drain a septic tank Tuesday in the search for a missing Ocoee woman. A similar type of search turned up nothing last week.

It's been five weeks since Tracy Ocasio disappeared and the prime suspect, James Hataway, remains behind bars.

The Ocasio's coffee table has turned into their own personal ground zero. In their house, the effort to find their daughter Tracy continues daily.

Her father, Joe Ocasio, has followed up on numerous tips even finding and photographing an area where raised dirt looked suspicious. Police say they plan to search it this week.

Last week, a septic tank near James Hataway's father's house was drained, detectives say he worked as a septic tank cleaner and at one point, according to police, commented to a co-worker, "you could get rid of someone in here."

As the weeks go by Joe and Liz Ocasio become more certain the only suspect in their daughter's disappearance is probably responsible for the disappearance of others.

"I think when you find Tracy you'll find more, you may find Christopher George, you may find Jennifer Kesse," said Liz Ocasio.

Wednesday, the couple expects to get the results from a forensic examination of Hataway's father's computer that might reveal not only who he was communicating with, but a look into his dark side.

"I don't want to think about what her last moments may have been like," said Joe Ocasio.

The suspect in Ocasio's disappearance, James Hataway, has been charged with burglary, battery, robbery and false imprisonment.

Those charges are related to an incident last August, involving Rachel Clarke who says Hataway assaulted her after leaving a bar.

Police also say Hataway is involved in "dark arts" and seized items in his home relating to murder, suicide, cannibalism, vampires and serial killers.

Gale and Cindy are currently searching the following areas.

OCOEE, Fla. -- The parents of missing woman Tracy Ocasio said an anonymous psychic in New Hampshire claims the 27-year-old's body may be found in some unusual dirt mounds not far from Ocoee High School.

The tip was forwarded to Joe Ocasio by the publisher of an online crime blog. He decided to check the area out himself and took photographs of the mounds to show to Ocoee police. The Ocasios said police agreed to investigate the area but the weather has not been cooperating.

"I'm not a total skeptic about psychics, but I'm not a firm believer either," Liz Ocasio said. "I'm kind of in the middle. But I'll go with anything."

Ocasio has been missing for five weeks.

Meanwhile, the Ocasios have a meeting Wednesday night with the lead detective in the case for an update on the search and what was found on the computer belonging to the father of James Hataway.

Police said that computer search did not reveal any information on the whereabouts of Tracy Ocasio. The forensic examiner did not an interest by the user in Neo-Nazi propaganda and that the computer was used to research suicide after Hataway was first questioned about Ocasio.

Hataway, 28, was the last person seen with Ocasio and her car was found abandoned not far from the home where Hataway lives with his father. He has been named as a person of interest in Ocasio's disappearance and is currently in jail on several other charges, including robbery and false imprisonment of a Seminole County woman
