"He was indicted by a grand jury last Monday," the district said.

He is being held without bond in Hania's death.

From the press conference:

The medical examiner's report is not complete and they still do not know Hania's cause of death.

They believe (but can only guess at this point) that Hania was killed the same day she was abducted.

MOO

I can't tell what that says. Didn't we have photos of his tats somewhere? I can't seem to find them. MOO

JMO from the recent presser - Lame duck DA took blame for not releasing MM name as POI as to not jeoporadize processing of case against MM. DA also denies any connection between the other 3 found dead women as well as denies serial murderer. Guess we wait til the trial to get our answers....if it gets to trial.

This DA’s claim to shame will be this career perp MM! Would not want this on my DA career record....

So so sad that it took a child’s murder to wake up this towns justice system and open the eyes of this passive DA... MOO but a crime is a crime, no matter how big the town or how small the town. This perp was so well know for his crime that his one victim called him by name as she was being victimized because she recognized him...how could this happen? Why were they enabling him like this?? How come the other murder victims were forgotten so quickly until Hania? Lifestyle? Well that is just wrong!!!!! There needs to be an investigation of the Sherriffs office in MO!

the crime during which the victim called McLellan by name occurred Oct 15. Did LE interview McLellan regarding these charges prior to Hania’s kidnapping? (Edit:arrest warrant was executed Nov 13) 4 weeks for arrests warrants for these serious charges seems like a long time. And in the interim he killed Hania.

From link: According to the arrest warrant, McLellan was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, second-degree kidnapping and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon stemming from an incident on October 15 in which he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman and attempted to steal her car and money.

Picked up Nov 13. The entire town knew about this career criminal.
Yes and in dark clothes and with a mask on. Identical. Very lax in responding. Very upset about response. One day after her kidnapping I posted that story from an online news article.... I looked up his career crime record. The DA also dismissed an entire other case that was exactly the same kind of case... but doesn’t state why he dismissed the case. But to me-I blame the DA! He should not have dismissed that one case because he would have been locked up and would not have murdered little Hania! MOO

Bond revoked, death penalty possible in Hania Aguilar killing
"If I was the D.A.," current Robeson County District Attorney Johnson Britt said, "I would seek the death penalty, yes."

Britt has only two weeks left as the district attorney. Matthew Scott, the district attorney-elect, will replace him.

Scott, during a news conference that followed McLelland's Monday appearances in District and Superior Court on unrelated charges, said that determination on whether to pursue the death penalty had not been made.

McLelland's next scheduled appearance in District Court is Dec. 21. The court will appoint an attorney to represent him. In the meantime, he is being held in Raleigh.

Well I guess that's that. No serial killer or connection to other 3 dead women! (Sarcasm)

DA: McLellan became suspect in Hania's murder shortly after SUV was found
According to Robeson County District Attorney Johnson Britt, that case -- a 2016 rape -- was solved while police were investigating Hania's death and kidnapping.

Authorities used McLellan's DNA to connect him to the 2016 case, Britt said. He was indicted by a grand jury last Monday on charges of rape, burglary and robbery with a dangerous weapon in that case. He was given $5 million bond.

When asked why the FBI and Lumberton police insisted after Hania's body was found that McLellan was not a person of interest in the case even though rumors were circulating on social media that he had confessed, Britt said that it was because they were trying to build a case based on "proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

He said McLellan became a suspect shortly after the stolen SUV was found.

"There was sufficient evidence that we could have charged him but there was a hole that needed to be filled and that hole was finding Hania," he said.

Britt also said they didn't want to release McLellan's name "for the sake of avoiding the prejudicial effect on the subsequent prosecution."

I bet he did stay at that residence after - he doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in the pack nor does he seem to be able to think his crimes through given that he's been caught so many times.

A few people suggested upthread that he's a career criminal that is accustomed to living in prison. Like Charles Manson or Wes Hadsell - some people spend the majority of their lives behind bars and get along just fine. I wonder if he even realizes that he's facing LWOP...

IMO he raped and murdered Hania shortly after abducting her then dumped her body. Then he dumped the SUV which was close to where he was staying so he just walked home after. MOO.

bbm
Yes, that is what we usually see -- if there is a rape, etc., type crime committed, the perpetrator usually separates himself from the crime and victim asap -- kills and hides the victim.
Surely this idiot knows what rape and murder could mean to him, and he's already been in prison for several years, so maybe LWOP wouldn't bother him that much. Dunno, but I agree, his box of smarts isn't too big, IMO. We'll see how it goes in court.
Good to have you with us, MsMarple!
