Hague Sentenced for Murder Without a Body | Anchorage News

Aaron Mitchell Hague just got 26 years for killing his roommate John McClelland in 2020—despite no body ever being found, prosecutors say he dumped him near a gold mine. But the case gets darker: Hague’s on the run from Oregon too, accused of stealing identity of Anthony Alcorn, luring him to Oregon, and murdering him in March 2021. He was convicted of manslaughter, theft, and tampering—but acquitted of first-degree murder, claiming it was self-defense against threats. McClelland’s daughter had publicly begged for info. Oddly, while in jail, Hague even offered to lead cops to the body… but nothing turned up, and the spot didn’t match his testimony. Both men were on probation when McClelland vanished. Prosecutors say Hague killed for cash—using his debit card, filing unemployment under his name. His Oregon trial looms in January, where he could face life if convicted.
