John William McClelland, 61, of North Pole, Alaska, disappeared in the late summer of 2020 after a final confirmed activity on the evening of August 14, 2020, when his debit card was used to buy diesel for his truck at a Fairbanks gas station. He did not report for work as a painter and handyman and missed a scheduled parole check-in, departures from his established routine that alarmed family and acquaintances.

A welfare check was requested by his brother in Michigan on August 20, 2020, after a series of odd text messages allegedly from McClelland asking for thousands of dollars and claiming he was very ill. Investigators focused on McClelland’s roommate, Aaron Mitchell Hague, after finding Hague using McClelland’s debit card for large purchases and in possession of McClelland’s Jeep while the title stayed in McClelland’s name. Hague told troopers McClelland was in the hospital, a claim hospitals could not confirm; Hague then abruptly moved out and left the area in violation of his probation.

McClelland’s body has not been found. Who saw John in Fairbanks or the North Pole area around August 14 to 20, 2020, or has information about his movements after that date?
