Ringing Phone In Trash Can Leads Police To Serial Killer’s Secret Hideout

Say it again. Yep. Right here. >> Right here. Look. Okay. >> Oh, okay. Yep. And so far? >> Hold on. I don't like that he's out here. somewhere. The bad guy. We could be sitting ducks. This is like a nightmare. What is that? That's a hand. >> Hey, there's a body over there.

>> Tallahassee officers have just stumbled. onto a body dump belonging to an active. serial killer. >> POLICE, FOLLOW ME. COME OUT WITH YOUR. HANDS UP. >> ARE YOU kidding me? >> Wow. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. >> Oh my gosh. >> As police slowly grasp the gravity. [music] of what they've uncovered, a. disturbing pattern of women. disappearing, being bound, and [music]. turning up murdered begins to emerge. And as the investigation [music].

expands, detectives uncover a trail of. violent crimes against women stretching. back more than three decades, leaving. them to wonder just how many other. victims might still be waiting to be. found. >> Why would people do this? >> Um your question, are we dealing with. serial killers? It looks that way.

Kathleen, help me out. Was there. anything in that tweet about a location? >> The weeks-long search for 19-year-old. missing activist Toyin Salau is. underway. And as the K9 continues. following the trail, these officers are. about to stumble onto something. >> She's in an outer pool. It looks like she's in an outer pool. Missing person may have sat here for a. period of time. >> Once Toyin's scent gets picked up, the.

officers believe they're closing in on a. breakthrough. In reality, these officers. are walking through the first chapter of. a horrifying chain of events, one. awaiting not just Toyin, but multiple. other women. It's approximately 6:00 p.m. Toyin Salau. is waiting for her bus until a man in. his 40s approaches her and the two. strike up a conversation. For nearly an. hour, the stranger listens as Toyin.

opens up about something traumatic, something that ultimately led her to. this bus stop. Then an elderly woman. pulls up in her car and offers them both. a ride. And while she believes she's. simply giving two innocent people a ride. home, she and Toyin are about to get. into a car with a serial killer. >> 911, what's the address of your. emergency? >> Hi there. I want to report my mother. missing. Her name is Victoria Sims. >> When did you last see her? >> A few days ago. I can't get a hold of.

her and she's not answering her phone. >> Okay. What's your current location? >> I'm at her apartment on South Blairstone. Road. Her front door is wide open and. she's she's not here. I don't know where. she could be. >> On the line is Brenda, reporting her. 75-year-old mother, Victoria Sims, missing. Just 5 minutes later, dispatch. sends several officers to her apartment. And when they arrive, Victoria's family. is already waiting outside, ready to.

give officers the first of many clues. that would kick-start a dangerous, weeks-long manhunt. >> Hey, when you talked to her last, were. there any concerns for her safety or. anything? What did she say? >> No. No, that was supposed to be Thursday. and. the Friday morning paper was brought in. It's on her table where she would sit. and read it. >> So, you already checked the paper? It's. still sitting there. So, okay. I. kind of wonder if something happened. Friday afternoon or evening when she. came back from some place and maybe.

somebody hijacked her car. >> The door was shut and unlocked. Does she. take any medications or anything like. that? Hey. Can my partner go through here real. quick? Can you just hang out here for. us, Ms. Sanchez? We appreciate it. Tallahassee Police Department. Feel one. inside. Make your presence known by. sight or sound. Tallahassee Police. TPD. That ain't normal. They haven't been back here?

They haven't gone through all the way. yet. I haven't smelled nothing, so. All right. Um her car is gone. This might be a forensics call. I thought I did. Maybe not. >> Upon discovering what appears to be. blood along with several signs of a. break-in, the deputy realizes Victoria. may be in serious danger. Back outside. the apartment, Victoria's daughter. Brenda steps forward, and she's about to.

give investigators their first real. suspect, but with a problem they don't. usually encounter. >> You have some additional information and. uh. Yeah, we'll step We'll step down here in. the shade somewhere. >> I told him about the. about person. >> When was the last time you talked to. her? >> It's like a couple days ago. I don't. know. I can't even I can't really. remember, but. >> It's okay. >> Um but anyway, the other day I I noticed. I looked at cuz I was trying to help her. out with the phone. >> Uh-huh. >> She's not very good at it. And uh and. there was a and uh and there was a weird.

text message from this kid who's my my. cousin my my my nephew's. friend, probably. And I don't know his. name. I don't know anything about him. >> What was the text message from this kid? >> How you doing? You know, I hope you have. a a blessed day. You know, like what the heck? >> Okay. >> You know what I mean? Like, why? And I. was like, "What's Mom I She was, "Oh, well, he he does stuff like that.". >> Now, this is you Who'd you say this was, what friend? >> friend, and he's in jail right now. >> Your nephew's in jail? >> Yeah. >> After speaking with Brenda and learning.

that Victoria's grandson may somehow be. involved in her disappearance, [music]. the deputy asks and soon gets a name, 20-year-old Rusty Flowers. Rusty is. currently being held at the Wakulla. County Detention Facility for violating. probation. His record includes vehicle. burglaries, stolen guns, drug charges, and criminal mischief. But, the reason. Brenda is so worried is the. out-of-the-blue message one of Rusty's. friends sent Victoria, "Have a blessed.

day.". With this unusual lead, the deputy. continues [music] speaking with. witnesses, but the suspicion surrounding. Rusty would only grow stronger, one. disturbing story at a time. >> Brenda, can you please. >> Hey, how are you? I'm Investigator. Osborne. Just so you know, I got a body. camera on. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Can you tell me what what you've seen. about? >> I mean, this happened maybe like a month. and a half, 2 months ago. Her grandson was standing outside, and. we hit me and my husband first just got.

home. Three cars pulled up. I think it. was. two SUVs and another car full of black. males, that's about 15 black males. They. all ran in her house, raided her. kitchen. One tried to take her computer, but her son said, "No, don't take that, put it back.". >> Did the the grandson like appear. confused why they were running in the. house? >> He stood against the wall and let it. happen and was smiling. >> Um, this is my roommate. She's she's a. traveling nurse.

She came in at 11:30 last night. She. said, "But, I did notice that the lights. were on in back, so I guess they're. still on." She says, "And I thought the. door might have been cracked." The only. thing I'm thinking of cuz she was very. careful. She wouldn't open the door. Like actually I I flip houses. So when I. was working on that, I put a peephole in. there and my guys put a peephole for. Miss Vicky. Okay. So she used that. peephole and I even measured it so she. could see out it. Um and she wouldn't. open that door. She had to recognize.

them. So maybe it was one of his. friends, druggy friends or you know, burglary. friends. And and she I don't I just don't believe. she'd open the door to somebody she. didn't know. >> Despite being behind bars, Rusty is. quickly becoming the central piece of. this investigation. Officers begin to. suspect he may have asked one or more of. his friends to rob Victoria, but this. time things may have gone much further.

With the interviews wrapped up, investigators begin arranging a visit to. Rusty hoping for answers. But the truth. behind Victoria's disappearance would be. unlike anything these Tallahassee. officers are prepared for as somewhere. across the city multiple body dumps are. waiting to be found. Some potentially. dating back decades. >> Why would people do this? >> That's a hand. >> Hey, there's a body over here. Are we. dealing with a serial killer?

>> Back at the station, Detective Nick. Roberts is tasked with taking over the. case. Roberts has led 27 homicide. investigations building a career that. has earned him a lifetime achievement. award. And as he digs deeper into. Victoria's disappearance, it wouldn't. take long for him to realize this may. not be an isolated case. Just days earlier, 19-year-old activist. Toyin had also gone missing. Sensing the.

two cases may be connected, Roberts. begins reviewing the evidence and body. cam footage surrounding Toyin's. disappearance. But what he finds would. slowly point towards a disturbing. pattern one Tallahassee had rarely seen. since the days of Ted Bundy. But, before. we get to that, I want to talk about. something else that's important, too. For almost a year, I've had this nagging. pain in my shoulder, but the long. waiting times kept me from scheduling an. appointment. I hoped it would go away on. its own, but it never did.

Detective Roberts as he prepares to. examine another recent disappearance, only to uncover an unsettling. connection. >> You all seen You all know we're looking. for this girl? She's a I don't have enough to give one.

to everybody, but I can give some out. Um. She's a young protester lady that went. She's gone missing. See if you had been if you had seen her. or heard her from her. >> know what Yeah, a lot of people are. being kidnapped people. >> Yeah, that's why we came to find out see. if you had seen her. She kind of hangs. out in this area. >> In this area? >> Yep. >> So, um which one of y'all got the text. message? >> Yeah. >> Do you mind if I see?

Okay, you didn't respond, right? >> No. >> Okay. So, based off of what I've experienced. and what I've seen, I'm I'm hopeful. I don't have right now there is no clear. indication she is in harm's way. >> As Roberts works his way through the. footage, a few particular details. immediately stand out. Toyin's residence. is only about a 5-minute drive from. Victoria's. Both women were known for. helping people in need and shared a. strong moral compass. And with their.

disappearances occurring less than a. week apart, Roberts begins to suspect. he's dealing with a new killer in town. In reality, Victoria and Toyin are only. the latest chapter in one of. Tallahassee's darkest criminal careers, one dating back to at least 1992. Later that evening, the searches for. Victoria and Toyin are unfolding. simultaneously across town. With Toyin's. last known locations being the church.

and the library, Roberts orders a K9. unit to try to pick up her scent. And. unbeknownst to these officers, that. scent is about to take them to where it. all began and give investigators their. strongest lead yet.

You guys probably want to get with Star. Metro about this star stop as well. She. had an odor pool. It looks like she's in an odor pool. Missing person may have sat here for a. period of time. >> Indeed, Toyin was here on Apalachee. Parkway and the answers to what happened. to her lie within Star Metro's. surveillance footage. In the past 24.

hours, investigators have gained a. potential suspect, requested critical. CCTV footage, and connected two. seemingly separate disappearances. But. despite these small wins, the man. they're hunting for is far too. experienced to simply stay put and is. already searching for his next victim. hundreds of miles away. Until the. footage is received, there's nothing. more they can do to track Toyin. Victoria's case, however, is different.

The next morning, police receive a call. from the Wakulla County Jail. Interestingly, Victoria's grandson Rusty. has agreed to speak with Detective. Roberts. But when investigators arrive, they notice something off about his. behavior. Despite his grandmother being. missing, Rusty seems less concerned than. any other family member they've. interviewed. For 2 hours, Roberts pushes. Rusty for answers until he finally gives. detectives something useful, the name of.

his friend, 49-year-old Aaron Glee. Rusty had lived at Aaron's house for. several months, but more importantly, he. claims Aaron was the last [music] person. to have been in contact with Victoria. With Rusty's interview complete, investigators track Aaron's property to. 2110 Monday Road, deep inside a heavily. wooded residential pocket of. Tallahassee. But knowing Rusty is a. repeat offender, Roberts is cautious. about taking his word at face value. For.

all he knows, Rusty could even hold a. grudge against Aaron and be setting him. up as a scapegoat. [music] Meanwhile, as. officers head to the address, Victoria's. family continues trying to call her. phone, a decision they don't realize. would lead detectives straight to her. Once deputies arrive, the search for. Aaron begins. But first they would. stumble onto some interesting. information about him. >> Dallas police.

>> Hello. >> Hey, how are you? We're looking for Aaron. >> Hello. >> Hey, we're looking for Aaron. >> He's right here. >> Do you know where he might be? >> In the back. >> He lives in the back. >> Okay, you haven't seen him lately? >> No. Earlier he was. walking up and down the road earlier. today. >> Okay. You um. Do you have a number for him? >> I sure don't. We All we do He's just a. neighbor that we see going back and. forth. We don't communicate like that. >> How well do you know. >> Um we don't. I mean, like I said, I've.

just seen him in passing and when if we. were out in the yard or whatever, he'll. pass by. Maybe every now and again he'll. speak, but other than that. >> Okay, how long have you lived here? >> We've been here almost 4 years. >> Okay. How long has he [music] been here? >> Um How long has he been back there? Uh. 2 years? >> 2 years? >> About a year Yeah, about 2 years. >> Does he have a vehicle? >> Nothing that I'm aware of. >> Okay. Have you seen any vehicles going. back there lately? >> Earlier today. >> What was the ve- What did the vehicle. look like? >> Um. a champagne color. Matter of fact, a.

little bit before y'all came. >> Uh-huh. >> it was like two vehicles went back. there. >> Unfortunately, I I can't give you a lot. of details, but I think you can tell by. the number of officers that are here. it's a very serious situation. >> After speaking with the neighbors, they. mention a car at Aaron's property they. hadn't seen before. While it seems like. a minor detail right now, it's actually. about to bring investigators dangerously. close to the truth. In the dead of night, more deputies. arrive and begin making their way.

towards Aaron's residence. At this. point, police are still relying almost. entirely on Rusty's account, but as they. approach the front yard, an unsettling. sound is about to give officers their. first real indication that they're on. the right track. >> Yep. Ready. >> Right here. >> Okay. Yep.

>> Did Kyle say it was in the car? >> And he says this is the car. >> Oh, he's saying it's. >> Yes, and look at Scott, the car to me. Keep in mind when you're walking around. out here. Another thing that I really don't like. is he could be anywhere out here. >> Yeah, I. >> Um, can we get K9 here and see if they. can. at least do a track something.

>> That is, in fact, Victoria's white. Toyota Camry. And just a few feet away, inside a garbage can, is her phone. Fortunately, still with enough battery. to ring. The screen shows multiple. missed calls from Victoria's family. By. now, Rusty's story appears to be adding. up, but detectives [music] begin to. wonder whether there's something far. more disturbing he left out about his. friend. With several of Victoria's.

belongings found at the property, [music] deputies have reason to believe. she could be inside Aaron's home, enough. to justify a breach. But unbeknownst to. these officers, they're about to solve. much more [music] than just Victoria's. disappearance. >> That's for the breach. >> Yell a couple more times and we're. coming in. Talhassee police, COME TO THE DOOR!

TALHASSEE police department, OUT WITH. YOUR HANDS UP. DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, come out WITH. YOUR HANDS UP. >> Smells like fresh cigarettes. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Hey, look. Look up, too. >> All right, coming out. We just have that. one one room right there. >> Yep. Go ahead. >> DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, COME OUT WITH.

YOUR HANDS UP. >> BODY. >> BODY. >> BODY. >> All right. >> Body. >> Yep, got it. Got it, got it, got it. >> Okay. >> All right, hold on. >> There's still another room we got to go. another. >> Finish clearing this If you guys want to. hold the front, we'll clear the rest of. this unit. Okay. >> We destroyed one There's still one. >> Yep. >> There's still one one bedroom. >> Okay. >> One one win. >> Jeez. >> Where's the bedroom? >> Wait, wait, you want to take the cover. off just to confirm we don't need to do. life saving? >> Um give me some. >> We ain't got gloves. Let's just confirm.

that there's there's no life saving. techniques we can do. >> Hey, can we get some gloves? >> We have some gloves. >> You got to watch very carefully where. you step. >> Yeah. Well, this blanket was on top of. there. >> Yes. >> We'll just make sure. there's nothing we can do to. >> Same idea. There's There's another room. in the crawl space. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> condition of the house. >> And considering the smoke we smelled the. fresh. Wow. Are you kidding me? >> Wow. >> Oh my god. This is. >> What's going on? >> Yeah. >> My. >> Oh my gosh.

>> Guys, keep in mind I got to go. >> Yeah. Yeah, keep your ears open. >> Inside, officers find exactly what they. feared most. Victoria's deceased body. hidden beneath a blanket. Her wrists and. ankles are bound, her throat cut, and. her body left as if the killer intended. to return and dispose of it later. After. clearing the rest of the house, deputies. uncover a set of women's clothing and a. burnt credit card that doesn't belong to. Victoria, suggesting there may be other.

victims they haven't found yet. And what. officers can't ignore is the strong. smell of cigarette smoke still lingering. in the air, putting everyone on scene on. high alert. But a killer nearby isn't. the only thing they have to worry about, as [music] just 200 ft away, another. discovery awaits police beneath the. ground. With the woods stretching out behind the. property, officers decide to extend the. search using a canine unit to follow.

Aaron's scent. They realize the safer. choice would be to wait until sunrise, but by then Aaron could be long gone. So, officers press forward following the. canine towards something Aaron never. intended police to find. >> Brad, is the K9 or is he pulling? >> I don't know. He's been back here at. some point, but I can't tell. >> Dog, we're getting pulls to the east.

Um, just not sure how fresh it is. You got a rifle with. >> No. I wish I had brought mine, yeah. >> We got a lot of I mean, this is. distance, you know? This is this a horrible little tactical. disadvantage for us. I'm just worried. we're walking into an ambush with one of. these places. >> It's all like you said, the dog's been. pulling. >> What is that? That's a hand. And there's a body over.

here. >> Holy sh. >> Hey. >> What up? >> Hey, guys. >> I got you. I got you, ready. >> 500 units at on a Monday. We have a body. in the woods. >> [music]. >> Straight That straight from the car. back into the woods. It's covered in. leaves. Hard to [music] say race and sex. right now. Um, your question, are we dealing with. serial killers? >> Potentially. >> It looks that way. >> [music]. >> This is like a nightmare.

Just when you think the most heinous. thing can happen, it just gets worse. >> Hidden beneath the leaves lies yet. another body. This time, it's Toyin's, confirming Robert's earlier suspicion. that they're dealing with the same. killer. Both murders appear deliberate, with each woman bound by the wrists and. ankles and subjected to a level of. violence these Tallahassee officers. haven't seen in decades. As officers work to secure the scene, a.

bolo goes out across Tallahassee, and. when detectives finally look into Aaron. Glee, serious failures in the justice. system would begin to emerge. Just days. before the suspected killings, Aaron was. arrested twice on battery charges, but. his criminal record stretches all the. way back to 1992. Over three decades, he received nine. felony convictions for robbery, card. theft, credit card fraud, forgery, grand. theft, and shooting into a building,

serving at least six separate terms in. state prison. Realizing just how. dangerous Aaron could be to anyone who. crosses his path, police quickly. returned to Victoria's home hoping to. find anything that could point them in. his direction. But when they arrive, Victoria's family and friends are still. there. Officers now have no choice but. to deliver the news no family is ever. prepared to hear. >> Oh, it's okay.

>> No. No. >> I'm sorry. >> No. >> Okay, we got to get her out of the ants. Hey, let's get Hey, let's get you up for these ants eat you. up, okay?

Let me hold your hand. >> [crying]. >> Why? Why would people do this? >> [crying]. >> It's so confusing. Did you all find the body? >> We we can't talk about. anything right now. >> Why not?

She was found She was found She was. found deceased. She's been found. But investigators are treating it as a. homicide. I'm so sorry. I can't have her right now. Calm down, baby, okay? >> Devastated by the news of their mother's. death, the family has no more. information beyond what they've already. told investigators. Worse yet, officers.

find no further evidence inside the home. and gain no new leads on Aaron. It seems. Aaron may have actually managed to. escape, leaving who knows how many more. body dumps behind. Hours pass and finally investigators. catch a lucky break. Around 11:00 p.m., police receive a tip that Aaron has been. spotted at the Greyhound terminal in. Tallahassee. But just as deputies race. towards the terminal, Aaron has already. boarded a bus and is pulling away. All.

while officers unknowingly drive right. past him. Once again, Aaron has managed to slip. through their fingers and is now headed. towards West Palm Beach. Employees at. the station assist police by pulling. Aaron's ticket information, which. reveals a scheduled stop in Orlando, more than 250 miles away. Immediately, Orlando police are alerted that a serial. killer is headed their way and they're. tasked with catching him by surprise. Over a dozen officers move in and.

surround the terminal preparing for a. dangerous confrontation in the middle of. a busy bus station. And with Aaron. expected to continue south at any. moment, they know this is their only. chance to stop him and put an end to his. killing spree. >> He might be armed. >> He's walking out. >> Walking out where? >> He's waiting right at the door. Red. shirt, red hat.

>> You're good, man. Sorry about that. >> What? >> Which. >> No, I said to the back. >> What?

>> I got lethal. >> Give me a I got a guy hands. I got. hands. >> All right. I'm good. All right. >> Hey, watch your crosshairs. >> All right. >> [snorts]. >> They're securing one right now. >> Yeah, secured. >> You good? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Got any weapons on you, man?

>> No, sir. >> You do? >> No, sir. >> You don't? >> No, sir. >> [snorts]. >> No, sir. >> What about your name? >> What I did? >> Hold on, you're being detained right. now. Hold on. Hey. >> What's your name? >> Hey. Hey. >> What's your name? >> They said my ID, man. >> What's your name? >> They said my ID. >> So, you don't want to tell me your name? >> My name is Aaron. >> Okay. >> Aaron Lee Lee Jr. >> Yeah. How you know that? >> Okay. Well, clearly you didn't want to. tell us. >> Oh, thank you. I got. >> Let me do it.

>> Hey. >> You can hand it to him. >> Officer, I'm feeling to pass out. Please. >> What's going on? >> I'm feeling to pass out. >> Why? Why are you going to pass out? >> I'm feeling to pass out. >> Why are you going to pass out? What's. going on? >> Officer, I'm feeling to pass out. >> Why are you going to pass out? >> After checking his ID, officers confirm. they have their guy. With Aaron. appearing disoriented and continuing to. ask for medical attention, paramedics. transport him to Orlando Regional. Medical Center. There, tests reveal. cannabinoids in his system and a blood. alcohol concentration of over .3. At.

that level of intoxication, detectives. have little choice but to wait until the. next morning to question him. 12 hours later, Detective Roberts. arrives at the hospital to interview. Aaron. Although investigators finally. have him where they need him, Aaron has. had the entire night to prepare a story. And if history is any indication, serial. killers are usually highly capable. liars. On top of that, Rusty's. cooperation earlier came at a complete. surprise to detectives, raising the.

possibility that they may only know half. the story. And as investigators walk. into the room, even after everything. they've uncovered, they're still not. prepared for the finale. >> I would say we want to we want to give. you a fair shake and give you an honest. answer as to why all this stuff. happened. >> Yeah. I don't know what to do as well. I'm slowly coming to grips with this. stuff that happened. all along. Cuz I was going to take the whole I feel. like I'm crazy. You already know. Well,

so at least you could have gave my. parents some type of clothes. I can't. undo this stuff. She know my face. She. know what I did, but. I feel like I feel like she smart. She. deserve to That's all what I wanted to. hear. >> How How often did Did you and Miss. I don't I mean I don't really hang out. She bring stuff or we ride, do whatever. >> She going to volunteer at the church to. feed. >> Mhm. >> And she would bring me. over there to go and get food and things. like that. She bring me food Even if I didn't need. it, she would still bring it. I don't.

know what happened. I just She said She. called me a nag or something. And I just snapped. >> We appreciate you being honest, Aaron. >> Whatever doubts remained about Aaron's. involvement are now completely gone. Not. only does he confess to both murders, but he would go on to give sickening. reasons for each of them. He killed. Toyin so she wouldn't report him to. police for. assaulting her. As for Victoria, whom he. refers to as his white grandma, Aaron.

claims she had been nagging him so he. slit her throat. Yet, despite his unsettling honesty, Aaron gives investigators no locations. of any other victims. But while. discussing the sheets used to bind the. women, he says, "I always use." An. apparent slip-up that suggests to. detectives that after all, the violence. may not end with these two women. Once investigators wrap up the.

interview, Roberts finally receives. confirmation that the bus stop footage. has has. At the same time, the forensic team has. just uncovered Toyin's posted notes. throughout Aaron's property, allowing. detectives to fill in the remaining. pieces. On the morning of June 6th, Toyin reports a civil assault to police. before spending the afternoon trying to. find somewhere safe to stay. Eventually, she arrives at a bus stop on Appalachia. Parkway, where Aaron approaches her. The. two talk for nearly an hour before.

Victoria pulls up in her white Toyota. Camry and offers them a ride. She drives. both of them to Aaron's residence, where. Toyin believes she'll have a safe place. to bathe and sleep. But once inside, his. twisted intentions become crystal clear. After beating Toyin for several days, occasionally untying her to eat, Aaron. decides to kill her, strangling her with. a rope. By this point, however, Aaron is. becoming paranoid. Victoria, who had. repeatedly helped him with food and.

rides, was the last person to see Aaron. and Toyin together. So, he lures her. back to the property, binds her wrists. and ankles, and cuts her throat. Aaron is ultimately charged with two. counts of first-degree murder, along. with kidnapping and sexual battery, and. is sentenced to two consecutive life. terms without the possibility of parole. As of late 2026, multiple FBI agents and. experts argue that, given Aaron's past, there should be more victims. So far,

however, police have come up. empty-handed. But there's one final. detail that would continue to puzzle. detectives to this day. During the. trial, Victoria's family, understandably, pushes for the death. penalty. All except one. >> All right, Mr. Flowers, come on up. Please stand in front of that podium and. speak into the microphone so we can all. hear you. All right. So, my name's Rusty Flowers. Nice to meet everybody. Um I don't.

really got too much to say. All I got to. say is I forgive you, man, and I hope. that you have a blessed day.
