    A man in Florida has been charged with the alleged murder of his girlfriend almost two years after her disappearance, as authorities claim he killed her to prevent her from reporting him for viewing child sexual abuse material. Despite extensive searches, her body has yet to be found.

    Aaron Hokanson, aged 60, faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with the death of 61-year-old Martina Lundy. According to the arrest affidavit, Lundy’s granddaughter alerted the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office about her grandmother’s disappearance on June 4, 2024, after she had not been seen for several days.

    Lundy and Hokanson shared a residence on SW Carpenter Road in Lake City. Their relationship, which lasted around two years, reportedly turned “volatile” in the months preceding the alleged murder. Reports indicate Lundy questioned Hokanson’s sexuality, contributing to rising tensions.

    In March 2024, the couple traveled to the Florida Keys, where Lundy suggested they visit a gay bar—a suggestion Hokanson refused, denying being gay. Just days before her disappearance, Lundy reportedly confided in her brother that she had recorded Hokanson admitting to watching child sexual abuse images “at least 100 times,” according to the affidavit.

    Hokanson purportedly revealed he had been a victim of molestation by his mother’s boyfriend during his childhood.

    “Lundy stated this was no justification for his actions,” officers documented. “She made it clear to Hokanson that he would never be allowed near any children and intended to inform his daughter of his conduct.”

    She later told the defendant that she was “going to have him arrested by the end of the week.” Hokanson allegedly destroyed his cellphone and laptop and deleted the search history, according to police.

    Cops believe Hokanson murdered Lundy in the early morning hours of May 30, 2024. She was last heard on a voicemail to her daughter at 2:23 a.m. Lundy also can be heard confronting Hokanson about his sexuality on the voicemail. At 7:22 a.m., data shows Hokanson started his vehicle, per cops.

    Lundy and her granddaughter were set to go to a wedding that weekend, and the granddaughter went to the Carpenter Road home on May 31, 2024, to pick up a dress, cops wrote. But Lundy wasn’t there. Hokanson claimed Lundy had taken off the day before, upset about her daughter calling her late at night, according to the complaint.

    The victim was also without her phone, which her family thought was odd, cops said. She has never been seen or heard from since.

    “She is not coming home,” Assistant State Attorney Sean Crisafulli told local ABC affiliate WCJB. “Martina Lundy did not abandon her daughter. She did not abandon her granddaughter that she raised as her own. She didn’t abandon those two dogs she took with her everywhere she went. She didn’t abandon the tenants for whom she collected rent like clockwork until this happened.”

    Cops also point to $73,000 in cash that is still sitting in a bank safe-deposit box as another indicator that she’s dead.

    Hokanson claims Lundy “took off” on her own. Prosecutors allege he sent fake text messages to throw family and law enforcement off track.

    “I’m going away for a few days,” one message said. “I gotta get away from all this s— and people.”

    He also lied to family members in the days after she disappeared, claiming he filed a missing person report when he did not, cops say.

    Hokanson was originally charged with second-degree murder last week but was indicted on the first-degree murder charge on Tuesday. He remains at the Columbia County Jail without bond.
