Several people took to Twitter early Monday morning and started sharing the ‘#RIP Toyin’ hashtag.
The hashtag came after Tallahassee police reported finding two bodies on Monday Road around 9.15pm Saturday night.
‘TPD investigators arrived in 2100 block of Monday Road in the course of a follow up investigation in a missing person case. During the course of the investigation, two deceased people were located in the area,’ police said in a press release.
Police said Salau was last seen on June 6 in the area of Orange Avenue and Wahnish Way in Tallahassee.
On that same day, Salau shared a series of disturbing tweets about being molested by a black man who offered her a ride.
‘Anyways I was molested in Tallahassee, Florida by a black man this morning at 5:30 on Richview and Park Ave. The man offered to give me a ride to find someplace to sleep and recollect my belongings from a church I refuged to a couple days back to escape unjust living conditions,’ Salau tweeted.
She said the man, who she described to be in his mid 40s, ‘came disguised as a man of God and ended up picking me up from nearby Saxon Street’.
‘I entered his truck only because I carry anything to defend myself not even a phone (which is currently at the church) and I have poor vision. I trusted the holy spirit to keep me safe,’ she wrote.
‘When we arrived at his house he offered me a shower and I thanked him and shower and he gave me a change of clothes. He exposed himself to me by peeing with the bathroom open obviously knowing I was out of it. I told him about a sexual assault situation that happened…’
Salau then tweeted about telling him about another man who ‘tried to force me to give him oral sex and then continued to harass me thru text and knocking at my door for days’.
‘Going back to the situation that happened to me this morning, I did not fall asleep. He then asked me if I wanted a massage at this moment his roommate who was in the house was asleep. I was laying on my stomach trying to calm myself down from severe ptsd. He started touching-
‘My back and rubbing my body using my body until he climaxed and then went to sleep. Before I realized what happened to me I looked over and his clothes were completely off. Once I saw he was asleep I escaped from the house and started walking from Richview Road to anywhere else
‘All of my belongings my phone my clothes shoes are all assumably at the church where I’ve been trying to track since I sought spiritual guidance/ refuge. I will not be silent.
‘Literally wearing this man’s clothes right now DNA all over me because I couldn’t locate his house the moment I called the police because I couldn’t see.’
Just hours after posting the tweets, Salau disappeared. Several people took to Twitter early Monday morning and started sharing the ‘#RIP Toyin’ hashtag
