Authorities are investigating after Oluwatoyin Salau and another woman’s bodies were found late Sunday night following Salau’s disappearance two weekends ago.
The 19-year-old Black Lives Matter activist was last seen on June 6 in Tallahassee, Florida shortly after tweeting that a man sexually harassed her.

The afternoon before her disappearance, Salau shared the violation with her community. She tweeted, “He came disguised as a man of God,” she wrote, “I trusted the Holy Spirit to keep me safe.”
Black Twitter began speculating on Sunday that Salau and 75-year-old Vicki Sims were found in Tallahassee, but police did not confirm the news until Monday afternoon.
