The man charged with killing a young Black Lives Matter activist and an elderly volunteer confessed to the crimes in grisly detail to police and his own mother, court documents show.

The disturbing documents reveal Aaron Glee Jr. told officers that he held 19-year-old Oluwatoyin Salau captive in his Tallahassee, Fla., home for days, repeatedly sexually assaulting her while keeping her bound, and only untying her to allow her to eat and bathe. Glee told police he killed Salau in order to avoid getting caught.

Glee has been charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault in connection to the deaths of Salau and 75-year-old Victoria Sims, whose bodies were discovered by police on June 13.

Salau, who had participated in recent demonstrations against police brutality, was reported missing by family members on June 8. Sims, a retired state worker well-known for her volunteerism and work in local Democratic politics, was reported missing on June 11. Tallahassee police officers traced Sims’ cellphone to Glee’s home, where Sims’ vehicle was found.

Police also learned from her family that she knew an “Aaron” for whom she prepared and delivered meals to and often provided transportation for.

Sims’ body was discovered inside Glee’s Tallahassee, Fla., home, police said, while the body of Salau was found in a wooded area near the property covered in leaves and other vegetation.

Glee had since bought a bus ticket for West Palm Beach, but was intercepted by police at a bus station in Orlando. After complaining of breathing problems, he was taken to a local hospital where he told police and nursing staff that he had killed two women.

“He would also place a telephone call to his mother and make those same admissions,” the report reads.

Officers from both Tallahassee and Orlando also interviewed Glee afterwards, where he laid out what led to the murder of Salau. The details of that interview were included in an arrest report that was redacted until late last week.

Glee told police that he struck up a conversation with Salau at a Tallahassee bus stop the afternoon of June 6, where she told him she had been sexually assaulted early that morning and did not have permanent housing. Glee offered to take Salau to his home to bathe and sleep, and contacted Sims for a ride.

The report says surveillance footage from the bus stop shows Glee and Salau “did indeed engage in an extended conversation” after Salau got off a bus. Salau had been at a public library before that bus ride.
