We Get To Pay For a Child Rapist To Live Out His Life | True Crime Daily Brief

Kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and killing a 10-year-old girl in 2020 will result in a 20-year-old man spending the rest of his life in prison.

The Alaska Department of Law announced on June 14 that Judge Michael MacDonald sentenced Jordan Mark to 99 years in prison for his role in the disappearance and death of Ida "Girlie" Aguchak.

Mark's case was not tried. According to the statement, he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and signed an admission of facts admitting he kidnapped and raped her. A plea deal dropped the rape charges, according to the Anchorage Daily News.

Aguchak, who lived in Quinhagak, texted her mom on March 15, 2020, telling her she was walking home from a friend's house. The next night, her family and community members searched for her body after she failed to return.

When Aguchak's body was autopsied, Mark's DNA was found, but he initially denied seeing her the night she disappeared. According to cell phone data, Aguchak was also near Mark's location that evening.

As reported by Alaska Public Media, Mark offered Aguchak a ride home after dropping friends off at the old airport in town. As she tried to escape, he took her to a trail, strangled her and then raped her. He stabbed the little girl and disposed of her body in a dumpster. Her knife and cellphone were disposed of by him, according to Alaska Public Media.

During his sentencing, Mark said, "I apologize for the pain I caused and the hearts I broke. There is no excuse for what I've done. Please see past that and see who I am. I made a terrible mistake."

McDonald denied Mark's request for a 45-year sentence. This was deliberate cruelty. It is hard to imagine a victim more vulnerable. These actions illustrate a depravity of heart and derangement of mind that makes Jordan Mark too dangerous to live in a civil society. It is impossible to imagine a more depraved, brutal, cold-hearted kidnapping, rape, and murder. This was deliberate cruelty.
