Thanks for the link. It looks like his friends have scrubbed all their comments. That's certainly understandable.
They're searchable: NC DPS Offender Public InformationHere’s another thing about these prior incidents, and I’m learning about this as we speak that trying to possibly identify a suspect based on prior history can be useless for exactly this reason. What good is looking for someone with such charges as far as profile/MO goes when they’re not even in the system. Hope this makes sense.
Having major tech issues right now so having trouble posting and making it brief.
ETA: He was on parole. So does that make all these cases searchable or not?

Attacked a woman in Fairmont.
Can’t help but wonder again about Sara Graham. What is the status of that??
So he didn't turn himself into authorities in Hania's case, but another one?
Yes, according to this article MM is the man in the surveillance video.Sorry if this has already been answered. Is this guy the same one on the video - the one LE was looking to identify? Regardless, glad they have this monster behind bars.
As crazy as it sounds, I think he believed that LE might think he had been in jail at the time of Hania's abduction.This does not make sense. Why turn yourself in for a crime in which nobody was hurt when you know you committed a much heinous crime and risk being held?
Their lives are forever changed.We can only hope and pray that MM receives the harshest punishment available and the family is able to someday find peace. Justice? What is that? MOO

That "reporter" is not a reporter at all but a gossip columnist who often publishes incorrect info based only on rumors or speculations. By putting out the info he did with no confirmation from LE he might have compromised the case had more MSM outlets run with the info and not printed retractions. Being "right" after the fact doesn't mean he was justified in spreading rumors based only on speculation. The fact is that LE had not charged MM with these crimes against Hania until now.
We don't know all the details of how LE got these charges but let's say they picked up MM for the other lessor charges and were trying to get him to talk and implicate himself for Hania's kidnapping and murder. He probably was a suspect but LE didn't want him to know that. If it comes out in the press that LE is looking at him for this crime then he might have clammed up. He might have lawyer-ed up earlier. As long as he doesn't think he is being looked at for taking Hania, he might have made the mistake of blabbing to his cell mate in jail. And I think it is very possible they were watching him closely and waiting on DNA evidence to tie him to the crime. But can you imagine how disastrous it could be if MM was tipped off that LE was looking at him for this while he was in jail and he got out on bond for his lessor charge? He could have fled.
A gossip writer who happened to be right this time in his speculation, gets no sympathy from me for fueling rumors and causing false alarms. JMO.
I'm also glad that LE got this monster. I hope they have an iron clad case to make sure he never sees another day of freedom. MOO.
:thud:Is there any wonder why the crime rate in Lumberton is so high?!
In 2007, McLellan was sentenced to between 10 and 12 years in prison on charges, filed by the Fairmont Police Department, of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and first-degree burglary. Charges of attempted second-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury were dismissed by the district attorney, records show.
In 2000, he was convicted of misdemeanor assault on a child and sentenced to probation. He was convicted in 2005 of the same charge and placed on probation.
McLellan was charged by Fairmont police in October 2004 with attempted second-degree sex offense, but the charge was dismissed by the Robeson County district attorney in March 2005, records show.
The reasons for the dismissals were not given.
Man accused of killing Hania Aguilar was on parole at time of her death
Perhaps he thought LE was as dumb as him! JMOMaybe by turning himself in for lesser crime he was hoping to avoid being found out for bigger crime (kidnapping, rape and murder).
Who knows what his motivation was,but I won't give him much credit for turning himself in.
With his criminal record I am afraid they will go for Competency. He began when he was twenty years old and all have been violent.Seriously????? I find it very hard to believe that anyone is that stupid to believe they can throw the police off with dates. Especially when so many days had gone by between the date of the abduction and the date he turned himself in. I could believe it more if it was just a matter of hours. I know criminals will try anything to beat the system. I'm very curious to find out why he would turn himself in for crime he did not complete almost a month earlier and not for a crime he actually completed just a few days earlier.
I also read that he had turned himself in for the attempted murder case.
There is something fishy about all this.....
He had better chances fleeing. He is 34 years old and a "Professional Inmate". He knows that turning yourself in is not something that would be processed quickly. He knows he left biological evidence in the vehicle, body and place of in which the crime was committed on Hania. I would have to know that he would still be in custody when the DNA results were completed. Or at least feared he would still be in custody.
If it is true that he turned himself in then it seems very possible he has psychological or cognitive issues lawyers can use as a defense.
