LOS ANGELES, CA. (Crime Library) — Police officials in Washington said they will investigate the possibility that self-professed pedophile Jack McClellan could have committed the unsolved 2005 murder of a 10-year-old girl who was kidnapped on her way to school.

In his now-defunct pedophile web site, "Seattle-Tacoma-Everett Girl Love" McClellan provided a link to a news story on the death of Adre'anna Jackson  and also listed area where she disappeared in a portion of his site labeled "Seattle-Vancouver Street Prostitution Guide." He has professed attraction to a child actress who looks similar to Jackson and left his home state of Washington after the start of a billboard campaign to find the killer. McClellan now lives out of his car in Los Angeles and has a restraining order barring him from going within 10 yards of any minor within the state of California.

"We would be interested in any name anybody gives us on any unsolved case, which is the basis for the posters and billboards," said Lakewood police Lt. David Guttu. "We'll look at it. We have to do the basic investigation, starting with, was he in the area at the time?" Lakewood is a Tacoma suburb, about 90 minutes south of Arlington, where McClellan lived. McClellan, 45, traveled up and down coastal Washington, taking photos of young girls in public and posting them online as part of a pedophile guide to finding the best child-watching areas in the state.

On Dec. 2, 2005, Adre'anna left her home in a lower-income area of Lakewood and started walking to school five minutes away. She disappeared before she got there, near the intersection of Portland and Orchard streets. Four months later, her remains were found in a vacant lot under some bushes. A transient was brought in for questioning but released and currently police have no named suspects, Guttu said. A new campaign to publicize the $60,000 reward began in April.

McClellan, 45, who has granted numerous television and radio interviews in which he professes attraction to pre-pubescent girls, said he has never broken any laws or done anything to hurt a child. He denied having anything to do with Adre'anna's murder and called all these incidents a coincidence.
