Alaska Killer Sentenced to 26 Years | Anchorage News

Aaron Hague got 26 years for killing his roommate John McClelland in 2020 — a crime he admitted to but claimed was self-defense, which the jury rejected. Prosecutors wanted 30 years, arguing it was premeditated for cash: Hague spent nearly $3K on property, took McClelland’s cars, and even filed unemployment in his name. McClelland vanished after sending cryptic texts asking for $8K — his body was never found. Hague fled Alaska, told his cousin a “murder happened,” tried stealing his passport, then ended up in Oregon where he was arrested with IDs and belongings of himself and another man, Anthony Alcorn — who was later found dead. Hague now faces murder and identity theft charges in Oregon, with a mandatory life sentence possible if convicted.
