A chilling case out of Florida is raising disturbing questions after prosecutors say a woman who vanished nearly two years ago was murdered by her own boyfriend—and her body has never been found.
Authorities have charged 60-year-old Aaron Hokanson with first-degree murder in the disappearance of his girlfriend, 61-year-old Martina Lundy, who was last seen in May 2024. According to details first reported by local outlets, investigators believe Lundy was killed after she threatened to expose him for disturbing crimes involving children.
Lundy was reported missing by her granddaughter in June 2024, after she suddenly stopped responding and failed to show up for plans—including a family wedding. Those close to her immediately sensed something was wrong.
“She is not coming home,” a prosecutor said, emphasizing that Lundy was deeply devoted to her family, including her daughter, granddaughter, and even her pets. Authorities say her sudden disappearance was completely out of character.
Investigators say the relationship between Lundy and Hokanson had become increasingly volatile in the months leading up to her disappearance. According to court documents, Lundy had confronted Hokanson after allegedly discovering he was viewing child sexual abuse material.
Police say Lundy told family members she had even recorded him admitting to it—and planned to report him to authorities. She reportedly warned Hokanson that she would have him arrested within days.
That threat may have triggered what investigators believe happened next.
Authorities allege Hokanson destroyed evidence, including his cellphone and laptop, shortly before Lundy vanished. They believe she was killed in the early morning hours of May 30, based on voicemail and vehicle data.
In one haunting voicemail left for her daughter around 2:23 a.m., Lundy can reportedly be heard confronting Hokanson. Hours later, data shows his vehicle was started—marking what investigators believe was the beginning of a cover-up.
Since then, Lundy has never been seen or heard from again.
Prosecutors say Hokanson attempted to mislead both family members and law enforcement, even allegedly sending fake text messages from Lundy’s phone to make it appear she had left voluntarily.
One such message read: “I’m going away for a few days.”
But investigators say the evidence tells a different story.
They point to untouched cash—nearly $73,000—in a safe-deposit box, along with her sudden disappearance from all aspects of her life, as strong indicators that Lundy did not leave on her own.
Hokanson has denied involvement, claiming Lundy simply “took off.” However, authorities say the growing body of evidence led to his indictment on the more serious first-degree murder charge.
He is currently being held without bond as the case moves forward.
For Lundy’s family, the lack of closure is especially painful.
With no body recovered, the case remains a haunting reminder of how violence, manipulation, and deception can leave families searching for answers—and justice.
