Arkansas Teacher Arrested for Devil's Den Double Murder

News summary

James Andrew McGann, a 28-year-old teacher recently hired by Springdale Public Schools in Arkansas, was arrested for the capital murders of Clinton and Cristen Brink, a couple killed while hiking at Devil's Den State Park with their two young daughters. Police apprehended McGann at a hair salon in Springdale after a five-day manhunt following the July 26 killing; the daughters were unharmed and are now with family. McGann, who had previously taught in Oklahoma and Texas, passed background checks for his new teaching job but had not yet started working in Springdale. Authorities have not disclosed the motive or details of the attack, and McGann did not know the victims. He faces two counts of capital murder and is expected to appear in court soon, with the possibility of a death penalty if convicted. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders expressed condolences and urged the community to support the victims' family during their grief.
