According to reports, Vukovich used the state’s sex offender registry to find the addresses of his victims, go to their homes and then brutally beat them with a hammer.
Even though Vukovich claimed to have attacked and beat up several other registered pedophiles, he was only caught after attacking 67-year-old Wesley Hayes Demarest. Vukovich’s attack was so brutal that he fractured Demarest’s skull with a hammer.
According to Demarest, Vukovich told him:
“I’m an avenging angel, I’m going to mete out justice for the people you hurt.”‘
Police in a statement said, not only did Vukovich break into his victims’ homes, but after beating them he would rob them.
According to a letter written by Vukovich in jail, his actions was due to his own physical and sexual abuse as a child by his adoptive father who sexually assaulted him and beat him with belts and pieces of wood.
In the letter, Vukovitch wrote:
“After being physically and mentally abused by a predator, my life was forever changed. I literally gave my own existence no value or concern. I became a thief and a liar and went on to make many poor choices throughout my life.”Adding:
“My own heart may have been broken long ago, but with all my being I support every child in pursuit of their dreams.”
After his arrest, he was charged 18 charges including assault, robbery, burglary and theft. He pled not guilty during a court appearance last week.
Vukovich is being held on a $100,00 bail and could face up to 35 years in jail.
