Includes video: Sheriff to fix ‘failure in the system’ after evidence tying suspect in 13-year-old’s death to 2016 rape is missed

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an internal affairs investigation in reference to a 2016 incident involving the suspect charged in connection with the death of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar.

Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said the sheriff’s office was sent reports from the DA’s office that indicated McLellan was a suspect in the 2016 rape.

Those reports were sent in 2017, according to the sheriff.

“I’m not making any excuses on it,” Wilkins said. “There’s a failure in the system somewhere and I’m going to take care of it on our end.”

Does anyone know if the surveillance video of the man walking early on the day of Hania’s abduction was McClellan?

Yes, that was MM according to LE. Posted on earlier thread.

i know this Hania's page but i've seen this name several times within the site since Sara Graham was also missing from Lumberton. Irony or coincidence, i dont know, but maybe atleast closure... Dental records may determine if remains belong to former Robeson County deputy’s missing daughter :: WRAL.com

I hope many more cases will be solved in Robeson County now that they have formed a special task force. Hania doesn't know it, but she is a hero. Her brutal abduction and murder may lead to solving many other crimes. JMO.

I don’t think I have the heart to open that link up to read it.

The disturbing story behind 13-year-old Hania's accused killer

It was an interesting article. The reporter interviewed relatives of MM who were close to him when he was younger. The reporter also mentioned that although many people in MM's hometown know him, few would talk about him. The reporter mentions that MM's stepfather lived on Wire Grass Road, and that MM had lived with his stepfather at that address, according to MM's relatives. The article mentions MM's prison record, and the DNA match for the rape evidence collection kit that was never followed up on by LE.

New Robeson Co. Sheriff on overlooked evidence in Hania Aguilar case: 'It angers me'
In an exclusive interview with the ABC11 I-Team, Sheriff Burnis Wilkins confirms at least two members of the sheriff's office knew about DNA evidence linking Michael McClellan to an old rape case more than a year before McClellan allegedly kidnapped and murdered Hania Aguilar.

"It angers me and I've got to deal with it," Wilkins said. "To know that that happened, to know the reports didn't follow the proper channels, that further investigation wasn't done, interviews weren't done properly -- I have a major issue with that."

Wilkins was sworn-in as sheriff on Dec. 3; his lengthy resume includes positions with the Lumberton Police Department, the NC Department of Public Safety and the U.S. Marshal's Task Force.

"Do I take responsibility for what happened? I wasn't here," Wilkins said. "But I have put it out there publicly -- there's nothing going to be hidden. We're going to get to the bottom of it."

After the 2016 rape, the rape kit was sent off for testing.

In 2017, CODIS -- a federal DNA matching system -- named McLellan as a possible match and immediately notified the sheriff's office.

Just saw this -- disturbing, to be sure:

In Robeson County where teen was killed, many rape cases go unsolved
Many residents of Robeson County are still reeling from the death of Hania Aguilar, the 13-year-old girl who was kidnapped, raped and murdered last month while waiting for a ride to school…
[...]
But a close examination of crime data from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation shows that many rape cases go unsolved in Robeson County, about 100 miles south of Raleigh. In the last five years, the sheriff’s office reported clearing 26 of the 86 reported rape cases — 30 percent. In 2015, the clearance rate sank to 18 percent: three cases cleared out of 17.

Suspended WITH pay? Oh goodness, what a terrible punishment. They should be FIRED and barred from working in any branch of law enforcement ever again. A child lost her life because of their ineptitude.
