The FBI needs your help solving this cold-case murder, and: Inside FMCSA's under-21 interstate pilot

Overdrive Radio

Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Ann Alexander in today's edition of Overdrive Radio talks about her Little Rock office's push this week in hopes of gathering leads into the 2006 murder of 19-year-old Tracy Owana Jones, who disappeared in November that year from a Little Rock area truck stop where she’d been a somewhat regular at the time attempting to collect magazine subscriptions. Jones was last seen on November 15, 2006, a Wednesday, at the Pilot Travel Center at the Galloway exit off I-40 east of Little Rock. Her body was found more than a week later on Sunday, November 26, in a field off I-40 in Memphis, Tennessee. Alexander and others in the FBI team indicate here just how you might be able to help if details of the case jog your memory of her from that time. There’s a new $25,000 dollar reward for information that leads to a conviction. Those with tips can contact Ann Alexander via the FBI Little Rock field office at 501-221-9100 or dial 800-CALL-FBI.

There’s a lot to it, including significant required training, a proposal to require any pilot program participants to work within the Department of Labor’s registered apprenticeship program, and more.
