Missing HAZMAT truck & Driver, Florida
WCJB TV 20, Gainesville FL ^ | October 2, 2001

Missing Truck Driver Marion County Marion County's special unit investigating terrorism is looking into the disappearance of a truck driver. His name is William Ellis and he has been missing since September 14. While Ellis has no criminal background, his truck may be a hot commodity for would be terrorists. Investigators say Ellis has no criminal background that would lead them to suspect him of wrongdoing. However, the fact that both he and his truck are missing leads investigators to keep a close eye out for their whereabouts. Right now Marion County, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the F.B.I are on the lookout for that truck. It is a Kenworth it bears the numbers 9-0-7 on the tractor and n-3-8-5-8 on the trailer. A satellite tracking device once attached to the truck is no longer sending a signal, so neither the company nor police know where it is. However, the truck is not the only thing that is suspicious about the disappearance of William Ellis. Elise's family says he has a 2-year-old daughter and would never abruptly leave for 2 weeks without word to his mom. In fact Marion county's special unit investigating terrorism is handing this case back to the missing persons division saying at this time there's no indication of danger to the public. However, they plan to keep an eye out for the truck and William Ellis.

Anyone check-out the Hamas cell sheltered by the University of South Florida?(Tampa)... That active and nurtured cell (3 miles from USCENCOM at McDill) was featured on O'Rielly last week, real live walking around radical Arabs. Check out the archives of the Tampa Tribune and St. Petersburg Times, this is the real stuff...All the heavy hitter terrorists, from the Iman that blew up the WTC (the first time) to apologist James Zogby complaining about "Flying while Arab",(Feb.2001 SPT) have all been welcome at USF, a very diverse and PC Campus....

These events throw an ominous light on the Kennedy Space Center security breach of July 5, 2001, when a Jamaican smuggler and 15 Chinese illegal aliens landed a sizable boat, at night, two miles south of Pad 39A where Discovery was mounted for launch.

Also high doses of psoralen pills can make them as black as Negros...

I just couldn't imagine making it from Bermuda to FL in one of those.

Thought they said it was the Bahamas, not Bermuda.

This story was just mentioned on Art Bell's program a couple minutes ago. He didn't give the truck numbers or identify the specific Gainesville station.

Not a lot of crops between Florida and the Bahamas.

Heard the Art Bell broadcast. (Lots of truckers and cops listen to the program.) The report came from a cop in Texas responsible for the I-10 corridor. He called Bell to confirm that a report had been given to LEOs to be on the lookout for a 40 ft. rental truck that had been rented by two middle-Eatern men that has not been returned. They believe the decals may be removed from the truck. The cop said he was confirming the public report of suspicions that terrorists may be travelling down the Pacific Coast Highway in CA enroute to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in a large truck. From what I heard, this is a separate concern from the missing Hazmat truck.

James Zoghby is a shameful example of a shill. I don't care who his brother is, he is still a dangerous I-am-a-victim kind of apologist for Arab Muslims in America.

"A lot of the stuff these trucks carry isn't all that dangerous."

No joke; "hazmat" placards are required on 18-wheelers hauling lead ingots!

So much for the government owning the guns and the HAZMAT airplanes. To me, this looks like the people will have to wage this battle alone with ball-less messy bureaucrats.

The other problem is that they have probably died their hair blonde by now, so be aware!!
Also high doses of psoralen pills can make them as black as Negros...
Oh-Oh....sounds like Sisquo may be on the next "Most Wanted" list...

Well, if he drives thru Tampa they will catch him. Good argument for the cameras on the streets. They can be used to protect us.
