Imagine texting your brother, only to later realize the man on the other side of hte converation might in fact have been his murderer.

ANCHORAGE , Alaska - At 5:43 p.m. on August 14, 2020, a man named John William McClellan pulled his truck up to a Fairbanks gas station and filled the tank with diesel fuel. No one has seen him alive or dead since then; except possibly one man.

McClellan’s employer and parole officer were both surprised when he abruptly stopped showing up in mid-August, which was out of character for him. The exact date of his disappearance is debated, but on August 24 a local noticed his truck - a red, extended-cab GMC - sitting abandoned just south of North Pole.

McClellan’s brother began to be suspicious, especially when McClellan would not pick up his calls. He called up a Fairbanks urgent care and two hospitals, who told him that McClellan had never been a patient. He then asked the Alaska State Troopers to make a welfare check. Despite being an immediate person of interest, Hague managed to successfully vanish for several months. He lived first under his brother Jesse’s identity, and then in Oregon under the identity of a man named Anthony Alcorn, whom he met in an Anchorage homeless shelter.
