  1. 0:00That's her Camry. That's her Camry, bro.
  2. 0:02Yeah, it's her vehicle.
  3. 0:06>> Some right here.
  4. 0:09>> What is that?
  5. 0:10That's a [ __ ] hand. Hey, there's a
  6. 0:12body over here.
  7. 0:14>> Holy [ __ ]
  8. 0:16>> What the?
  9. 0:17>> These officers have just found an
  10. 0:19abandoned car in a remote wooded area of
  11. 0:22Tallahassee, Florida. What they don't
  12. 0:24know yet is that this car is about to
  13. 0:27lead them to the torture house of a
  14. 0:30wanted serial killer.
  15. 0:33>> Put your hands up.
  16. 0:34>> Body. Body. Body.
  17. 0:36>> What if this turns out to be a
  18. 0:38>> um your question? Are we dealing with a
  19. 0:40serial killer? It looks that way.
  20. 0:43>> Inside the remote cabin in [music] the
  21. 0:45woods was the body of a missing mother.
  22. 0:48And the evidence suggested that the
  23. 0:50killer had escaped only minutes earlier,
  24. 0:52disappearing [music] into the forest.
  25. 0:54>> As soon as I opened up that door,
  26. 0:56somebody was smoking cigarettes in there
  27. 0:57not too long ago.
  28. 0:58>> But even more terrifying than a killer
  29. 1:00on the run was what remained hidden
  30. 1:02about 150 yard away. Under a pile of
  31. 1:06leaves in another wooded area was the
  32. 1:08decomposing body of his next victim.
  33. 1:12>> All right, dude. This is getting crazy,
  34. 1:13bro. And now the killer could already be
  35. 1:16searching for his next [music] victim.
  36. 1:20What began as a missing person report
  37. 1:22would within hours uncover a double
  38. 1:25murder, expose a violent repeat
  39. 1:27offender, and connect two cases that had
  40. 1:30seemed completely unrelated.
  41. 1:38It all began at around 5:00 p.m. on June
  42. 1:4013th. A middle-aged man contacted the
  43. 1:43Tallahassee Police Department to report
  44. 1:45one of his friends missing, a
  45. 1:4775-year-old woman named Victoria Sims.
  46. 1:50>> Tallahassee Police Department. If
  47. 1:52anyone's inside, make your presence
  48. 1:54known by side or sound. Tallahassee
  49. 1:56police. That ain't normal.
  50. 2:00>> Your call has been forwarded to an
  51. 2:01automatic.
  52. 2:02>> Victoria had not answered her phone for
  53. 2:04several [music] days, and her family had
  54. 2:06also been unable to reach her.
  55. 2:08>> When was the last time you talked to
  56. 2:09them?
  57. 2:10like a couple days ago. I don't know. I
  58. 2:11can't even I can't really remember. But
  59. 2:13>> it's okay.
  60. 2:14>> I called last night and it went
  61. 2:16straight. It like rain once barely at
  62. 2:18all on her house phone and straight
  63. 2:20voicemail which
  64. 2:21>> her house woman.
  65. 2:22>> Yeah, her house. I caught her cell
  66. 2:23phone.
  67. 2:24>> Hey, ma'am. Ma'am. Hey, don't go in
  68. 2:26there just yet.
  69. 2:27>> They're not answering.
  70. 2:28>> Just Just yet. Okay.
  71. 2:29>> The friend went to her house with
  72. 2:30Victoria's granddaughter where they
  73. 2:32found the front door partially open.
  74. 2:37We uh knocked on the door to see if she
  75. 2:39was already in and it pushed open, but
  76. 2:43um we were going to walk around to the
  77. 2:45back to look in the sliding glass door
  78. 2:47because that gave would give the best
  79. 2:49view of course.
  80. 2:49>> So you went in?
  81. 2:50>> I did.
  82. 2:51>> And you went in?
  83. 2:52>> Can someone contact her church? Just
  84. 2:54make absolutely sure that she's not on
  85. 2:55>> pastor right over there. Okay.
  86. 2:57>> And he's contacted a lot of people and
  87. 2:58they haven't heard from her days. No.
  88. 3:02That's what I'm saying. Somebody could
  89. 3:04have stained all that and could have put
  90. 3:06her paper in there on purpose, you know,
  91. 3:08so that it's not noticed. You know what
  92. 3:10I mean?
  93. 3:11>> Victoria was gone. Her car was missing
  94. 3:15and the house was in disarray. Ignoring
  95. 3:18calls or suddenly breaking from her
  96. 3:20normal routine was completely out of
  97. 3:22character for her. The apartment had not
  98. 3:24been completely ransacked. Most of it
  99. 3:26was still clean and organized, but parts
  100. 3:29of the living and dining areas appeared
  101. 3:31to have been deliberately searched.
  102. 3:33>> They let themselves inside and see that
  103. 3:34the TV and a laptop are missing as well
  104. 3:36as her vehicle. So, uh, looks like it's
  105. 3:39been tossed. If uh, we'll clear it real
  106. 3:42quick and uh, make sure it's not a seven
  107. 3:44issue or anything like that.
  108. 3:45>> The television stand had been knocked
  109. 3:47over and several items around it were
  110. 3:49scattered across the floor. The
  111. 3:51television itself [music] was gone and
  112. 3:53Victoria's laptop was also missing. Does
  113. 3:55>> she normally have a TV in there?
  114. 3:57>> Yeah. Yeah, it's gone. Somebody took it.
  115. 4:00You can't lift it. And what what I don't
  116. 4:02get is, you know, if my mom knew that
  117. 4:04she was in trouble, she'd offer anything
  118. 4:06like here, take my car. Take take
  119. 4:09whatever. Here's the money. You know,
  120. 4:12you know, she wouldn't she wouldn't have
  121. 4:13fought. She wouldn't have cared. The
  122. 4:15initial report mentioned no blood, no
  123. 4:17weapons, and no obvious signs of a
  124. 4:20struggle inside the apartment. There was
  125. 4:22also no sign of forced entry, and the
  126. 4:24safe under Victoria's bed had been left
  127. 4:26untouched. It was later discovered that
  128. 4:29an envelope containing [music] around
  129. 4:31$750 had also been taken from the house.
  130. 4:34These details suggested that the person
  131. 4:36who entered the home may have known
  132. 4:38exactly what they were looking for, and
  133. 4:40that this was not a random break-in.
  134. 4:43Hey, when you talked to her last, were
  135. 4:44there any concerns for her safety or
  136. 4:46anything?
  137. 4:46>> I think something must have happened
  138. 4:47Friday afternoon, evening, she always
  139. 4:49brought her car back and parked right
  140. 4:51there back then.
  141. 4:52>> She didn't even call my my news today.
  142. 4:55It's her birthday. We should have done
  143. 4:56that.
  144. 4:57>> The newspaper from the morning of June
  145. 4:5813th was still sitting outside her door,
  146. 5:01while the newspaper from the previous
  147. 5:03day, dated June 12th, was found on the
  148. 5:05dining table inside the house. This
  149. 5:08[snorts] suggested that Victoria had
  150. 5:10likely collected her newspaper and
  151. 5:11returned inside on the morning of June
  152. 5:1412th. But by the following morning, she
  153. 5:16was no longer there to pick up the next
  154. 5:18one.
  155. 5:20Because of the missing items, the entire
  156. 5:22house was sealed off as [music] a crime
  157. 5:24scene with several possibilities still
  158. 5:26on the table, including kidnapping and
  159. 5:28robbery. What they didn't know was that
  160. 5:31the man responsible for Victoria's
  161. 5:33disappearance was already preparing to
  162. 5:35leave Tallahassee.
  163. 5:39Um, I know you're under a lot of stress
  164. 5:41right now. We're uh working a lot of
  165. 5:43different angles to try and find your
  166. 5:44mom. Um, but it's really important
  167. 5:46nobody goes in there right now if we can
  168. 5:48help it. Okay.
  169. 5:48>> Has she had any sort of disagreement
  170. 5:50with anyone?
  171. 5:51>> No. I like I said, I'm worried about
  172. 5:53that guy. I think I did their name my
  173. 5:56nephew's friend and he contacted her or
  174. 6:01texted her something. I can't remember
  175. 6:03what the saying said. It said something
  176. 6:05about, "Hi, Miss Vicky. How are you? You
  177. 6:07know, I'm hoping you're doing good last
  178. 6:10day.
  179. 6:10>> During those conversations, Victoria's
  180. 6:12daughter mentioned a detail that did not
  181. 6:14initially seem significant. Within
  182. 6:17hours, it would become one of the most
  183. 6:18important leads in the case.
  184. 6:20>> She has a Hold on where you run away
  185. 6:22from me. She has a trailer that she's
  186. 6:24trying to sell.
  187. 6:25>> Yeah. Well, it's in her name, but it's
  188. 6:27>> But do you live there?
  189. 6:28>> No. No, I don't live.
  190. 6:29>> Have you checked it to see if she
  191. 6:33We're trying to fix it up and
  192. 6:36Um, but anyway, the other day I notice I
  193. 6:38looked at cuz I was trying to help her
  194. 6:39out with the phone.
  195. 6:40>> She's not very good at
  196. 6:43and uh it was a weird text message from
  197. 6:45this kid who's my my cous my nephew's
  198. 6:48>> friend supposedly. I don't know his
  199. 6:50name. I don't know anything about him,
  200. 6:52but my mom said that he's a pretty good
  201. 6:53kid. Okay.
  202. 6:54>> Or a guy who she doesn't say kids. I
  203. 6:56don't know if it's a man. I'm sorry for
  204. 6:57my phone.
  205. 6:58>> Now, this is Who' you say this was? What
  206. 7:01friend?
  207. 7:01>> My nephew's and he's in jail right now.
  208. 7:03>> Your nephew's in jail? Yeah. And she was
  209. 7:06even going to have him come and help out
  210. 7:08with the trailer. She said he's a good
  211. 7:09guy. I'm just hoping she's visiting him.
  212. 7:12Can we Is there any way you can find
  213. 7:13that out?
  214. 7:14>> Do we have an address?
  215. 7:16>> We'll call the county jail.
  216. 7:17>> Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, I thought she was
  217. 7:18talking about this friend.
  218. 7:19>> She visited him today, you know, and
  219. 7:21maybe she doesn't know anything about
  220. 7:22But what worries me is the phone's been
  221. 7:24off the hook is what I'm guessing.
  222. 7:26>> Family members had seen messages on
  223. 7:28Victoria's phone from an unknown man.
  224. 7:31Victoria had told them that the sender
  225. 7:33was a friend of one of her grandchildren
  226. 7:35and that he was a good person. He was
  227. 7:38also the last [music] person known to
  228. 7:39have called Victoria. When her family
  229. 7:41tried calling on the night of June 12th,
  230. 7:43the phone rang only once before going to
  231. 7:45voicemail. Officers checked nearby
  232. 7:48hospitals, searched the places Victoria
  233. 7:50regularly visited and reviewed recent
  234. 7:52[music] calls connected to her and her
  235. 7:54car.
  236. 7:55Victoria was entered into missing person
  237. 7:57databases and a bolo was issued for her
  238. 8:00white Toyota Camry. But while officers
  239. 8:02were working on Victoria's case, this
  240. 8:04was not the only missing person
  241. 8:06investigation in Teleahassee.
  242. 8:09One week earlier, police had also
  243. 8:11received a report that another [music]
  244. 8:12person was missing. 19-year-old Black
  245. 8:15Lives Matter activist Oluatoyan Salo.
  246. 8:19Black matter matter
  247. 8:22matter.
  248. 8:24>> No, can't nobody silence me. Wherever
  249. 8:26the I go, I'm profile. Look at mying
  250. 8:30hair. Look at my skin, bro. I can't take
  251. 8:33it off. So guess what? I'mma fly about
  252. 8:35it. You cannot take my blackness away
  253. 8:38from me. My blackness
  254. 8:39[cheering and applause] is not for your
  255. 8:41consumption. Continuing coverage tonight
  256. 8:43on the search for a missing [music]
  257. 8:44activist. A group canvasing areas
  258. 8:47tonight where she was last believed to
  259. 8:49have
  260. 8:49>> who had been active in several local
  261. 8:52Black Lives Matter protests was declared
  262. 8:54missing on Tuesday, June 9th.
  263. 8:57>> Toyen was last seen on the evening of
  264. 8:59Friday, June 5th, at a protest with
  265. 9:01several of her friends. At some point,
  266. 9:04she said she wanted to get some air and
  267. 9:05walked away from the group. When she did
  268. 9:08not return, two of her friends searched
  269. 9:10for her for around 2 hours. The next
  270. 9:13morning, at about 8:00 a.m. on June 6th,
  271. 9:16one of her friends went to the police
  272. 9:17department in person to [music] report
  273. 9:19her missing. According to later
  274. 9:21accounts, police said that because the
  275. 9:23friend was not an immediate family
  276. 9:24member, they could not file an official
  277. 9:26missing person report. So, Toyen's
  278. 9:29friends began searching for her on their
  279. 9:30own that same day.
  280. 9:32>> We're wondering if you've seen her. Her
  281. 9:34family officially reported her missing
  282. 9:36on June 7th. At the same time, police
  283. 9:38already had another report connected to
  284. 9:40Toyen. On June 6th, she had contacted
  285. 9:43them to report that she had been
  286. 9:44sexually assaulted earlier that morning.
  287. 9:47According to police, [music] while they
  288. 9:49were following up on that report, her
  289. 9:51family informed them that Toyen had
  290. 9:53disappeared.
  291. 9:54Investigators first contacted her
  292. 9:56friends, people she knew, local support
  293. 9:58centers, and places where they believed
  294. 10:00she may have been staying. On June 10th,
  295. 10:03police released an official missing
  296. 10:05person notice and asked the [music]
  297. 10:06public for help. After that, Toyian's
  298. 10:09friends and the Tallahassee Community
  299. 10:10Action Committee organized larger
  300. 10:12community searches to find her.
  301. 10:15While Tallahassee police were dealing
  302. 10:17with two missing person cases that
  303. 10:19appeared completely [music] unrelated,
  304. 10:20someone close to Victoria gave them an
  305. 10:22important piece of information.
  306. 10:24>> She's an elderly lady, but she's so nice
  307. 10:26and she's so scribbed. The only thing I
  308. 10:29think of is is a soft point was her
  309. 10:31grandson. and he was like,
  310. 10:32>> "He's in jail in Mola County right now."
  311. 10:34>> I I know, but I'm just saying like when
  312. 10:36I I used to run this as an Airbnb and
  313. 10:38now I just I I live in here cuz I sell
  314. 10:41in my house, but like he would sit on my
  315. 10:44bench when somebody cuz I wasn't rented
  316. 10:46all the time. He would sit on that bench
  317. 10:47and he would smoke. And then like one
  318. 10:49time I had guests come up and he had
  319. 10:51left his parole paper on my bench. So
  320. 10:54the guest called me and said, "Oh my
  321. 10:56god, my own this isn't a safe place for
  322. 10:57me to live or to stay because somebody's
  323. 11:00somebody left their parole." And so I
  324. 11:02told Miss I, I said, "You got to tell
  325. 11:04them to stop sitting on my bench." And
  326. 11:06then the next time I came, there was one
  327. 11:07of those medical marijuana things that
  328. 11:09he'd been sitting up there smoking. So
  329. 11:11anyway, I said, "Miss Vicki, do not let
  330. 11:14him up on my property." And she's like,
  331. 11:16"Okay, okay, okay." So he was he was I
  332. 11:19think he was a problem but she you know
  333. 11:21she loved him and she was a he was a
  334. 11:23soft spot for her. So the only thing I
  335. 11:25can think of and he used to have friends
  336. 11:27over here when he lived here so and now
  337. 11:30he's in jail but is the only thing I'm
  338. 11:32thinking of cuz she was very careful.
  339. 11:34She wouldn't open the door like actually
  340. 11:36I I flip houses. So when I was working
  341. 11:38on that I put a peepphole in there and
  342. 11:40my guys put a peepphole for me. Okay.
  343. 11:43So, she used that peepphole and I even
  344. 11:45measured it so she could see out it. Um,
  345. 11:48and she wouldn't open that door
  346. 11:49>> for strangers.
  347. 11:50>> Yeah. She had to recognize them.
  348. 11:52>> So, maybe it was one of his friends,
  349. 11:56>> druggy friends or you know, burglary
  350. 11:59friends and and she that I I just don't
  351. 12:02believe she'd open the door to somebody
  352. 12:03she didn't know.
  353. 12:05>> She said that she and Victoria had been
  354. 12:07helping a man named Aaron. He knew
  355. 12:10Victoria's grandson lived on Monday Road
  356. 12:13and sometimes received food, rent money,
  357. 12:15or help with transportation from
  358. 12:17Victoria. Victoria had always tried to
  359. 12:19help him. Using this information, police
  360. 12:22[music] identified the man as Aaron Lee
  361. 12:24Glee Jr., but this was not the first
  362. 12:27time police had heard his name.
  363. 12:30Less than 2 weeks earlier in May, Glee
  364. 12:32had been arrested after an officer
  365. 12:34happened to see him assaulting a young
  366. 12:35woman who had [music] rejected his
  367. 12:37sexual advances. The officer saw Glee
  368. 12:40kick the woman in the stomach and when
  369. 12:42police stepped in, Glee also assaulted
  370. 12:44the officer. Now that the investigators
  371. 12:46knew about his violent history,
  372. 12:48especially towards women, [music] their
  373. 12:50concern for Victoria grew even stronger.
  374. 12:52More officers were assigned to the case.
  375. 12:54According to one report, at around 8:30
  376. 12:57that night, an officer was sent out to
  377. 12:59help with the investigation and searched
  378. 13:01several locations for Victoria's
  379. 13:02registered Camry, but could not find it.
  380. 13:05A search team and a K-9 unit were also
  381. 13:07called to Victoria's apartment complex.
  382. 13:10The plan was to begin a ground search
  383. 13:12from South Blairstone [music] Road.
  384. 13:14Using a legal order, police obtained
  385. 13:16both the historical and live location
  386. 13:18data from Victoria's phone. The record
  387. 13:20showed that on the morning of June 12th,
  388. 13:22[music] her phone was still near her
  389. 13:24apartment. At around 9:00 a.m., it began
  390. 13:26moving away from the apartment and
  391. 13:28toward Monday Road. After that, the
  392. 13:30phone remained inside a residential area
  393. 13:33surrounded by woods. I'm a Russell
  394. 13:35Monday court.
  395. 13:37>> After receiving the phone ping, the K9
  396. 13:39search around Victoria's apartment was
  397. 13:41stopped [music] and officers were
  398. 13:42redirected to 2110 Monday Road for a
  399. 13:45tactical approach. Glee's cabin was
  400. 13:48located around 350 ft inside the woods.
  401. 13:52The thick vegetation around the property
  402. 13:54gave him plenty of places to hide and
  403. 13:56made the operation even more dangerous.
  404. 14:09There's a car right there. Wait,
  405. 14:12>> that's our Camry. That's our Camry, bro.
  406. 14:15>> All right, dude. This is getting crazy,
  407. 14:16bro.
  408. 14:17>> Vehicle.
  409. 14:18>> I really don't like if he could be
  410. 14:19anywhere out here. Um, can we get K9
  411. 14:22here and see if they can
  412. 14:31As officers [music] moved toward the
  413. 14:33cabin, they spotted Victoria's white
  414. 14:35Camry parked northeast of the building.
  415. 14:37Victoria's car was stuck in the mud with
  416. 14:40a wooden board placed under one of the
  417. 14:42tires. Tire changing tools were found
  418. 14:44inside [music] the vehicle, showing that
  419. 14:46someone had tried to free it. A white
  420. 14:49sheet had been placed over the [music]
  421. 14:50rear of the car, and the license plate
  422. 14:52had been bent upward to hide the number.
  423. 14:54>> Was that a tarp trying to cover it?
  424. 14:57Looks like some type of canvas. Back up.
  425. 14:58He
  426. 14:59>> folded up a tag.
  427. 15:01>> There's a trail that goes down there.
  428. 15:03>> The car had been abandoned beside Glee's
  429. 15:06cabin. While officers were searching the
  430. 15:08area around the property, they suddenly
  431. 15:10heard a phone ringing nearby.
  432. 15:18>> The ringing led them to a trash
  433. 15:19container outside the house where
  434. 15:21Victoria's phone and identification had
  435. 15:24been discarded.
  436. 15:38the door.
  437. 15:39>> We are breaching.
  438. 15:41>> All right, come out. Watch this. Watch
  439. 15:43this window right here.
  440. 15:53>> Tell us. Come out with your hands up
  441. 15:58police department. COME OUT WITH YOUR
  442. 15:59HANDS UP.
  443. 16:00>> I'M going to I'm going to take this
  444. 16:02corner. You're going to cover left.
  445. 16:03Okay,
  446. 16:06Dallas. Police department. Come out with
  447. 16:08your hands up. All right, we're clear
  448. 16:10back here. [music] It's just a kitchen.
  449. 16:13Smells like fresh cigarettes in here.
  450. 16:14>> Yeah.
  451. 16:15>> All right, coming out. We just have that
  452. 16:16one one room right there. Come your
  453. 16:18hands up.
  454. 16:23>> Body. Body. Body. All right. Body. Got
  455. 16:26it. Got it. I got it. All right.
  456. 16:28>> In the northwest bedroom, they found
  457. 16:31Victoria.
  458. 16:33>> Are you kidding me?
  459. 16:34>> Wow.
  460. 16:34>> Oh my god. This is Oh my gosh.
  461. 16:38>> She was lying face down and her body was
  462. 16:41covered with a white blanket that was
  463. 16:42heavily soaked [music] in blood.
  464. 16:44Victoria's hands and feet had been tied
  465. 16:46behind her back. At the time her body
  466. 16:49was discovered, [music] the exact cause
  467. 16:50of death was still unknown, but the
  468. 16:53autopsy later revealed a deep cut across
  469. 16:55her neck measuring about 7 in wide and
  470. 16:58nearly 2 and 1/2 in deep. The medical
  471. 17:00examiner ruled that Victoria died from
  472. 17:02blood loss caused by the wound [music]
  473. 17:04to her neck. Her death was officially
  474. 17:06ruled a homicide. Now Victoria's family
  475. 17:10had to face the worst possible news.
  476. 17:13>> Oh, it's okay.
  477. 17:22Where is she?
  478. 17:23>> I can't tell you where she is right now.
  479. 17:27I'm so sorry.
  480. 17:28>> No.
  481. 17:31>> I'm sorry. Those
  482. 17:44are questions we want to help you
  483. 17:45answer. And that's why it's important we
  484. 17:47hold the scene like we are.
  485. 17:50[crying]
  486. 17:58My mom.
  487. 18:13>> We got to get We got to get her out of
  488. 18:14[music] these ants.
  489. 18:16>> He's got He's got He's
  490. 18:22Why?
  491. 18:24>> Why would people chase me?
  492. 18:27Who? How can you do that?
  493. 18:40[music]
  494. 18:48But back at the cabin, officers were
  495. 18:50facing a serious problem. Glee was not
  496. 18:53[music] inside the house and officers
  497. 18:54did not yet know whether he was still
  498. 18:56hiding somewhere nearby.
  499. 18:58>> Let's let's make sure everything is
  500. 19:00legit clear in here.
  501. 19:02>> What What do we have?
  502. 19:03>> I'm I'm alive.
  503. 19:04>> I am too. We went in there to clear the
  504. 19:06house on the back far bedroom. There's a
  505. 19:09girl with a blanket over her. We pulled
  506. 19:11it up. Her hands are tied behind her
  507. 19:12back. Her feet are tied and she has
  508. 19:14blood gushing from her head.
  509. 19:15>> It looks like
  510. 19:16>> and just flies all around her. Looks
  511. 19:17like execution style.
  512. 19:19>> Wow. Her hands were tied and there's a
  513. 19:21big pile of
  514. 19:22>> blood and he's maybe in the attic. We
  515. 19:24clear the house.
  516. 19:24>> There's cobwebs on there and there's
  517. 19:26smell of smoke in it. I say it's
  518. 19:27probably about an hour or two hours old.
  519. 19:29>> So, as soon as I open up that door,
  520. 19:32somebody smoking cigarettes in there not
  521. 19:33too long ago.
  522. 19:34>> Yeah. So, I'll tell you what, Paul, you
  523. 19:37go take a couple of these guys. Let's go
  524. 19:38up to this house. Take actually all
  525. 19:40three of these guys.
  526. 19:40>> Yep.
  527. 19:41>> Let's go up to this house and see if we
  528. 19:42can find this.
  529. 19:44>> Aaron Glee.
  530. 19:44>> Hang on. We got to
  531. 19:45>> JC. Can you come up with me? We're going
  532. 19:47to go to this house and see if we air
  533. 19:49and glee. We need one more.
  534. 19:50>> Hey, Sabo.
  535. 19:51>> Sabo, come on.
  536. 19:52>> K9 teams began searching [music] the
  537. 19:54surrounding woods and checking
  538. 19:56neighboring homes.
  539. 19:59>> Can't really talk about it right now.
  540. 20:01>> Huh?
  541. 20:01>> Can't really talk about it right now.
  542. 20:04>> Anybody got killed or nothing?
  543. 20:05>> No, your neighbor down.
  544. 20:07>> Yeah, you know his name.
  545. 20:09>> No, I don't know his name. Nothing.
  546. 20:13>> Okay, one more stay here. Just be
  547. 20:16careful.
  548. 20:17>> Okay. Um, somebody else come to the door
  549. 20:19with me.
  550. 20:20>> Tell us police.
  551. 20:22>> Hello.
  552. 20:23>> Hey, we're looking for Aaron.
  553. 20:25>> He's not here.
  554. 20:25>> Do you know where he might be?
  555. 20:26>> In the back. He lives in the back.
  556. 20:28>> Okay. You haven't seen him lately?
  557. 20:29>> No.
  558. 20:30>> Um, earlier he was walking up and down
  559. 20:33the road earlier today.
  560. 20:34>> Okay. What's your name?
  561. 20:35>> My name is Valerie.
  562. 20:36>> Valerie, what's your name?
  563. 20:37>> Danielle.
  564. 20:38>> Miss Valerie, can I talk to you for a
  565. 20:40minute?
  566. 20:40>> Sure.
  567. 20:41>> Do you mind if we check your house just
  568. 20:43to make sure he's not in there? We don't
  569. 20:44believe that you are harboring him in
  570. 20:46any way, but we need to talk to him for
  571. 20:47a very serious incident. Um
  572. 20:49>> Oh my god.
  573. 20:50>> Yeah. So, can can they just walk
  574. 20:52through? They're not going to like go
  575. 20:54through like and look for small things.
  576. 20:55>> He's trying to sleep. He has to get up
  577. 20:56to go to work in the morning.
  578. 20:58>> Okay. This is very important. That's
  579. 20:59okay.
  580. 21:01>> Really?
  581. 21:02>> Huh? What? They want to look in the
  582. 21:05house and make sure he's
  583. 21:06>> I have kids in the house. You're not
  584. 21:07going there to scare them.
  585. 21:08>> The woman living in the house next to
  586. 21:10Glee's cabin initially refused to let
  587. 21:12officers inside. She had no idea that if
  588. 21:15this dangerous man had managed to sneak
  589. 21:17into her home, he was a far greater
  590. 21:19threat to her children than anything
  591. 21:21outside.
  592. 21:22>> Yeah, I have small children.
  593. 21:23>> If you'd like to walk them out, that's
  594. 21:25fine. Is there a way that we can do this
  595. 21:27without scaring your children? We do not
  596. 21:28want to scare your children. I promise
  597. 21:29you, that's the last thing we want to
  598. 21:31do. There's just certain things that we
  599. 21:33we have to to check off in this. And we
  600. 21:35don't want to surround your house for
  601. 21:36the for an untold mountain amount of
  602. 21:39time. We will. You tell me if you can
  603. 21:43think of a way that we can do this
  604. 21:44without scaring your children. I'm okay
  605. 21:46with it. As long as it's safe for us.
  606. 21:49>> They want to know if the guy that came
  607. 21:50here look earlier looking for him. What
  608. 21:53did he have on? The older guy.
  609. 21:55>> He was a older guy with just shorts and
  610. 21:57a shirt on.
  611. 21:58>> Okay. So, he wasn't a police officer.
  612. 22:00>> Oh, I don't know cuz I didn't actually
  613. 22:02come to the door and open the door.
  614. 22:03>> Okay. All right.
  615. 22:04>> When when I looked out the window, he
  616. 22:06was looking in the mailbox. As I told
  617. 22:07him, the guy he was looking for does not
  618. 22:09live here.
  619. 22:10>> And he was looking for someone in the
  620. 22:12back.
  621. 22:12>> Okay.
  622. 22:13>> That's when he walked out there to the
  623. 22:14mailbox and looked in his mailbox. And
  624. 22:16then that's when I seen that it was a
  625. 22:18white guy and shorts and a shirt.
  626. 22:21>> What What color was the shirt?
  627. 22:22>> I think yellow.
  628. 22:23>> Color of the shorts.
  629. 22:24>> Like khaki.
  630. 22:25>> Okay.
  631. 22:26>> That's the neighborhood. That's the
  632. 22:28neighboring scene.
  633. 22:30Meanwhile, the rest of the K9 team
  634. 22:32searching the woods for Aaron came
  635. 22:34across something they never expected to
  636. 22:37find.
  637. 22:39>> I don't know if it's in my clothes cuz I
  638. 22:40was in that house for so long, but it it
  639. 22:42stinks out here.
  640. 22:45>> Huh?
  641. 22:46>> $10 bill right here.
  642. 22:48>> No. [music]
  643. 22:49>> Yeah, $10 bill right here.
  644. 22:52>> There's some right here.
  645. 22:55>> What is that? That's a hand. Hey,
  646. 22:59there's a body over here.
  647. 23:00>> Holy [ __ ]
  648. 23:02>> What the
  649. 23:05500 units at on Monday? We have a body
  650. 23:08in the woods.
  651. 23:09[panting and sighs]
  652. 23:10[snorts]
  653. 23:12>> I don't know. The hand right there.
  654. 23:19>> Oh, maybe. I don't know.
  655. 23:21>> About 35 yd from Victoria's car, the K9
  656. 23:24team [music] found a $10 bill on the
  657. 23:25ground. They continued roughly another h
  658. 23:27100red yards into the woods before
  659. 23:30finding the body of a young woman hidden
  660. 23:32beneath leaves
  661. 23:33>> back straight from the car back into the
  662. 23:36woods. It's covered in leaves. Hard to
  663. 23:39say race and sex right now. Um I believe
  664. 23:43it's a black male or black female. There
  665. 23:47skin slippage.
  666. 23:49>> Her appearance matched Toyen's
  667. 23:51description. The condition of her body
  668. 23:53suggested she had been dead for several
  669. 23:55days. Her hands, feet, and neck had been
  670. 23:58restrained in an unusual configuration.
  671. 24:01The medical examiner later determined
  672. 24:03that she died from asphixxiation caused
  673. 24:05by the restraints around her neck and
  674. 24:07limbs.
  675. 24:08>> What if this turns out to be a serial?
  676. 24:10>> Well, the FBI class designates two or
  677. 24:12[music] more, but state whatever
  678. 24:14classifies as three or more for cereal.
  679. 24:18It's pretty close time range though for
  680. 24:20that one to be as fresh as it is. Let me
  681. 24:21get that one. It's interesting that it'd
  682. 24:23be so fast cuz that's not that all that
  683. 24:26old.
  684. 24:27>> Um, your question, are we dealing with
  685. 24:29serial killer?
  686. 24:31>> It looks that way.
  687. 24:32>> Hey, Brent, do you want to continue?
  688. 24:35>> Okay, let's go.
  689. 24:36>> With Toyen's body found, the K9 team
  690. 24:38continues searching the area while
  691. 24:40dozens of officers enter another
  692. 24:42abandoned cabin nearby, hoping to find
  693. 24:44any sign of Aaron.
  694. 24:46>> Got the first two on this. Want to make
  695. 24:47sure I get the third. If there's a
  696. 24:48third, I guess. No. Hey. Hey. Just
  697. 24:51>> yeah, keep in mind that they're still
  698. 24:52he's still at large. And the reason we
  699. 24:54pulled out is because it's our tactical
  700. 24:57disadvantage of going into the woods. He
  701. 24:59just met around here, but we look I
  702. 25:01mean, we searched this area good. When
  703. 25:02we came here the first time, we kept
  704. 25:03looking. I'm like, dude, there's got to
  705. 25:04be another one close by. I've got a
  706. 25:06stairwell over here. Where's the other
  707. 25:08trailer at to the right? Yeah, we're we
  708. 25:10walked northeast and we have [music] two
  709. 25:13trailers. One kind of to the left and
  710. 25:14one off more to the east to the right.
  711. 25:17Palace Police Department, if you're
  712. 25:18inside the house, call out now. Police,
  713. 25:21if you're inside or nearby, call out
  714. 25:24now.
  715. 25:32>> Police department, call out.
  716. 25:37>> Open door rear.
  717. 25:40Looks pretty clear from here. With two
  718. 25:43bodies now connected to Glee's property
  719. 25:45and Glee still unaccounted for, officers
  720. 25:48began checking anyone who might be in
  721. 25:50immediate danger. Without wasting any
  722. 25:52time, officers reviewed his records and
  723. 25:54discovered that a woman named Oracastro
  724. 25:57had a restraining order against him.
  725. 25:59Because of their violent history,
  726. 26:00officers rushed to her home to conduct a
  727. 26:02welfare check.
  728. 26:03>> Hey, is Miss Castro here?
  729. 26:06>> Who?
  730. 26:06>> Miss Castro?
  731. 26:09>> I don't know. What?
  732. 26:10>> I just want to check on her, make sure
  733. 26:11she was all right. It's an old case.
  734. 26:13Anybody else here with her?
  735. 26:16>> Huh?
  736. 26:18>> Awesome. I want to make sure she's okay.
  737. 26:23>> I'm in.
  738. 26:23>> Hey, Aura. Hey,
  739. 26:26[music] you make sure you covered up.
  740. 26:27Anybody else with you?
  741. 26:29>> No.
  742. 26:29>> Can I talk to you for a minute?
  743. 26:30>> Yep.
  744. 26:31>> Okay. You want to step outside? Step in
  745. 26:32here. What do you want to do?
  746. 26:33>> Go in there. Go in there. Go in there.
  747. 26:37>> What's wrong?
  748. 26:38>> Go in there. Have you heard from Aaron
  749. 26:40recently?

  759. 27:11so he couldn't be with him
  760. 27:13>> an injunction.
  761. 27:14>> Yeah.
  762. 27:14>> Let me ask you a question. You have your
  763. 27:16phone?
  764. 27:17>> Uh can you give me his number?
  765. 27:20>> I I don't have his number and I'm under
  766. 27:24the impression that he's still in
  767. 27:28jail.
  768. 27:30>> He's not.
  769. 27:31>> He's not. That frightens me
  770. 27:33>> and that's the reason I'm here checking
  771. 27:35on you. What was y'all's encounter
  772. 27:36together though? Why were y'all
  773. 27:37encountering each other?
  774. 27:38>> I I I was looking for um I I I took the
  775. 27:44bus to go to Walmart
  776. 27:47>> and to go shopping, but he he freaking
  777. 27:51>> beat the poop out of me.
  778. 27:53>> I got you.
  779. 27:54>> And I'm I'm I'm
  780. 27:57strong. I I I beat my husband down. I
  781. 28:01hope this [music] big man.
  782. 28:04>> Ora was visibly traumatized. Her account
  783. 28:07gave officers additional context [music]
  784. 28:08about Glee's previous violence towards
  785. 28:10women and suggested that bus stops may
  786. 28:13have been one of the places where he
  787. 28:14approached them. Just like the last
  788. 28:16place Toin had been seen, Aura had also
  789. 28:19been targeted at a bus stop. [music]
  790. 28:20This appeared to be Glee's pattern.
  791. 28:23>> Yeah, I got you.
  792. 28:23>> I want them to do is an area search.
  793. 28:25>> I got you. Okay. Yeah. Over the next
  794. 28:28several hours, the search for Aaron
  795. 28:30intensified.
  796. 28:33He was a ruthless killer, but he was not
  797. 28:35the smartest. Once he realized police
  798. 28:37were searching for both women and had
  799. 28:40connected the case to him, he tried to
  800. 28:42escape using Victoria's stolen car.
  801. 28:44After killing Victoria, Glee drove her
  802. 28:46Toyota toward the woods near the
  803. 28:48location of Toyen's body, but the car
  804. 28:50became stuck in the mud and he was
  805. 28:52unable to get out. Hey. Um, I got he he
  806. 28:56might have already hopped shipped and
  807. 28:57went somewhere. I got
  808. 28:59>> West Palm.
  809. 29:00>> He's going to West Palm.
  810. 29:04>> By the time officers reached Monday
  811. 29:06Road, Glee had already left Tallahassee
  812. 29:08with no suitcase or significant luggage.
  813. 29:11He went to the Greyhound station and
  814. 29:12paid cash for a one-way ticket to West
  815. 29:15Palm Beach, where members of his family
  816. 29:17lived.
  817. 29:18>> They're going they're calling Orlando PD
  818. 29:20right now to see what they would prefer.
  819. 29:22After making a stop in Okala, the bus
  820. 29:24arrived at the Greyhound Terminal in
  821. 29:26Orlando late that night. It was
  822. 29:28scheduled to continue toward West Palm
  823. 29:30Beach at around 12:45 a.m. on June 14th,
  824. 29:33shortly after 12:30 a.m. Orlando police
  825. 29:36located Glee inside the Greyhound
  826. 29:38Terminal, only minutes before the bus
  827. 29:40was scheduled to continue toward West
  828. 29:41Palm Beach. He never made it to West
  829. 29:44Palm Beach.
  830. 29:47After his arrest, Glee complained of
  831. 29:49chest pain and difficulty breathing. So
  832. 29:51instead of being taken directly to jail,
  833. 29:53he was transported to a hospital. But
  834. 29:55during phone calls with his mother and
  835. 29:57stepfather, calls captured on police
  836. 29:59body cam, he gradually admitted that he
  837. 30:02had [music] taken two lives. He also
  838. 30:04told the officers guarding him that he
  839. 30:06had killed two women in Tallahassee. Now
  840. 30:09that Glee had finally been found and
  841. 30:11arrested, many questions still remained.
  842. 30:14What was the real motive behind these
  843. 30:16murders? And how were the two cases
  844. 30:18[music] connected?
  845. 30:20her up in that same manner where she was
  846. 30:22on her fell with her arms and her legs
  847. 30:24behind her.
  848. 30:25>> Yes,
  849. 30:26>> that was just even when you had to go to
  850. 30:28the store. That was how you tie her up.
  851. 30:31>> How long she locked down?
  852. 30:33>> See, I can't give you a definite answer
  853. 30:35because it's all happens on time.
  854. 30:39>> I don't
  855. 30:39>> I didn't keep her I didn't keep her in
  856. 30:42there more than what one day.
  857. 30:45>> So, she was still alive overnight.
  858. 30:47>> Maybe. I don't know. When you say maybe,
  859. 30:50is it you think because of the position
  860. 30:51that she was in that she couldn't
  861. 30:53breathe?
  862. 30:55>> I don't know. I'm just It happened so
  863. 30:57fast when I did it.
  864. 31:00>> On the evening of June 6th, Toyen took a
  865. 31:02city bus to the Walmart area on
  866. 31:04Appalache Parkway. After getting off,
  867. 31:06she sat at a nearby bus stop. That was
  868. 31:09where Aaron Glee approached her and
  869. 31:11started a conversation. Toyen told him
  870. 31:13that she had been sexually assaulted
  871. 31:14earlier that day and had nowhere safe to
  872. 31:16stay. Glee offered her a place to shower
  873. 31:19and rest at his house. Toyen accepted
  874. 31:22believing he was trying to help her. But
  875. 31:24after they arrived, Glee tried to have
  876. 31:26sex with her. When Toyian refused and
  877. 31:28fought back, he overpowered and her.
  878. 31:31Glee later admitted that he knew Toyen
  879. 31:33would report him if he had let her go.
  880. 31:35So he decided to kill her to avoid being
  881. 31:37arrested. He tied her hands and feet
  882. 31:40behind her back and connected the
  883. 31:41restraints to one around her neck. The
  884. 31:43pressure caused her to suffocate.
  885. 31:45Afterward, Glee placed her body inside a
  886. 31:47green recycling bin, moved it into the
  887. 31:49woods behind the property, and covered
  888. 31:51it with leaves and branches to hide it.
  889. 31:54But how did Victoria Sims become
  890. 31:55involved, and why was she killed? The
  891. 31:58answer comes from surveillance footage,
  892. 32:00phone records, and Glee's confession.
  893. 32:02>> It was Vicky. I can't remember if I
  894. 32:05called her or she called me.
  895. 32:07She said something.
  896. 32:14That's what happened with her.
  897. 32:15>> She said she called me a nag or
  898. 32:17something and I just stopped.
  899. 32:19>> On June 6th, after meeting Toyen at a
  900. 32:22bus stop, Glee had no way to take her
  901. 32:24home, so he called Victoria for a ride.
  902. 32:26Surveillance footage shows Toyen and
  903. 32:28Glee getting into Victoria's white
  904. 32:30Toyota around 7:07 p.m. That made
  905. 32:32Victoria the last known independent
  906. 32:34witness to see Toyen alive with Glee.
  907. 32:37Over the next several days, Glee held
  908. 32:38Toyen captive and eventually killed her.
  909. 32:41Then on June 12th, he spoke with
  910. 32:44Victoria again. Their final call lasted
  911. 32:46about 2 minutes, [music] and soon
  912. 32:48afterward, Victoria went to his home on
  913. 32:50Monday Road. No one knows exactly what
  914. 32:52Glee told her, but he likely asked for
  915. 32:54help or transportation just as he had
  916. 32:56before. Once she arrived, he restrained
  917. 32:59her, tied her hands and feet behind her
  918. 33:01back, and cut her throat. The evidence
  919. 33:04suggests Victoria was killed for several
  920. 33:06reasons. She could connect Glee to
  921. 33:08Twain's disappearance. She had a car he
  922. 33:10needed to escape, and Glee knew she had
  923. 33:13money and valuable belongings. Victoria
  924. 33:15had trusted Glee and tried to help him.
  925. 33:18In the end, that trust made her both a
  926. 33:20witness and a target. But the most
  927. 33:22painful part is what happened just
  928. 33:24before Victoria was killed. Realizing
  929. 33:27what Glee intended to do, she apparently
  930. 33:29tried to save herself by offering him
  931. 33:31money. She told him about the cash
  932. 33:33inside her apartment, which may explain
  933. 33:35how he knew about the envelope
  934. 33:37containing around $750
  935. 33:39and where it was kept. That envelope,
  936. 33:41along with her laptop, television, and
  937. 33:43other belongings, was later taken from
  938. 33:46her home. But the offer did not save
  939. 33:48her. According to his confession and the
  940. 33:50medical evidence, he tied Victoria
  941. 33:53inside the bedroom, covered her head,
  942. 33:55hank her throat, with a knife. He then
  943. 33:57went to her apartment and stole the
  944. 33:59money and other valuable items. Less
  945. 34:02than a week before he met Toyen, Glee
  946. 34:04had been released on bond after an
  947. 34:06officer saw him kicking a woman who
  948. 34:07rejected his dual [music] advances.
  949. 34:10Within days, Toyen and Victoria were
  950. 34:13dead. In June 2023, Glee pleaded guilty,
  951. 34:16[music] avoiding a possible death
  952. 34:18sentence. On September 22nd, he received
  953. 34:21two consecutive life sentences without
  954. 34:23the possibility of parole. The sentence
  955. 34:26permanently removed him from the public,
  956. 34:28but it came 3 years too late for two
  957. 34:30women whose willingness to trust and to
  958. 34:32help was used against them.
  959. 34:37[music]
