How Hania Aguilar's killer almost escaped on the day he plead guilty

Last week, Michael McLellan pleaded guilty to kidnapping, raping and murdering 13-year-old Hania Aguilar, who was taken from her Lumberton driveway in 2018. He was then taken back to prison to serve a life sentence--but he did not go easily. Deputies say he tried to escape twice. WRAL's Chelsea Donovan found out why law enforcement believes he'd been planning it for a while.
