The Alaskan Avenger

The Alaskan Avenger

"My silent understanding that I was worthless, a throw away... The foundations laid in my youth never went away."

In June of 2016, 41-year-old Jason Vukovich found the addresses of local sex offenders, assaulting and robbing them inside of their own homes. Attacking late at night - armed with a hammer - Jason told one of his victims that he was "an avenging angel" that was there to "mete out justice for the people" he had hurt.

Now behind bars, Jason has come to know a younger sister he never knew he had, who has become his most ardent supporter. Together, they vow to use every legal avenue at their disposal to continue fighting Jason's extended sentence...
