Leon County Judge Frank Allman has sentenced a suspected killer Aaron Glee to life in prison for the tragic and horrific 2020 murder of a community college student and a retired state worker.
The Nation reports Salau, a Tallahassee community college student who participated in Black Lives Matter protests, went missing just days before Sims, a community volunteer who had worked for several state agencies before retirement, did.
Glee reportedly tied Salau up and imprisoned her for several days. He admitted to sexually assaulting her numerous times before deciding to kill her.
Later, Glee raided Sims’ home and kidnapped her too.
Police found the women at Glee’s disheveled home after tracing Sims’ phone.
Sims’ body was found inside a bedroom under a bloody sheet; Salau’s body was found under a pile of leaves in the woods behind his house.
Glee, 52, was set to plead guilty in January but announced he wanted to have a trial.
He later pleaded guilty in June to first-degree murder and kidnapping, agreeing to a life behind bars without prosecutors pursuing the death penalty.
Judge Allman sentenced the suspect to two consecutive life sentences for two counts of murder in the first degree.
He was also sentenced to another life sentence for one count of kidnapping, 15 years in prison for one count of sexual battery, and an additional five years for felony battery, court records show.
