LUMBERTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- Lumberton Police and the FBI are asking the public for help in tracking the movements of the man accused in the kidnapping and death of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar during a critical stretch of November
Investigators hope to determine where Michael McLellan was from Nov. 4 to Nov. 18, the day before Hania was kidnapped to the day McLellan was booked into the Robeson County Detention Center.
The public is asked to contact Lumberton Police at (910) 671-3845 or (910) 671-3846 if you have any information about the following:
Hania was abducted from her home at the Rosewood Mobile Home Park in Lumberton on Nov. 5. Police said McLellan forced Hania into her family's SUV while she was warming it up to go to school.
Two days after she went missing, the FBI released surveillance video of the stolen SUV seen in Lumberton moments after her kidnapping.
The following day, the SUV was located but Hania wasn't in it.
A body was discovered on Nov. 27 in Robeson County in a place not visible from the road.
Results of tests from the FBI's lab at Quantico on the stolen SUV recovered and preliminary results from the North Carolina State Crime Lab on Hania's body resulted in the charges.
McLellan, 34, is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree forcible rape, statutory rape of a person under 15 years of age or younger, first-degree sexual offense, statutory sex offense with a person 15 years or younger, first-degree kidnapping, felony larceny, felony restraint, abduction of child and concealment of a death.
McLellan had already been in custody since Nov. 13, when he was arrested on charges stemming from a separate case.
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 Oct. 15 in which he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman and attempted to steal her car and money.
McLellan is being held in Raleigh Central Prison under no bond.
