The Devil's Den Murders: Who Is Andrew James McGann?

The Devil's Den Murders: Who Is Andrew James McGann?

On July 26, 2025, married couple Clinton David Brink and Cristen Amanda Brink went for a hike with their two young daughters at the Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas. A man attacked them, murdering them both. Their daughters escaped.

A 28-year-old teacher named Andrew James McGann was arrested for the murders days later. He has reportedly confessed to police, and his DNA was also allegedly found at the crime scene.

Today, we spoke with a guest who knew McGann back when he was in Oklahoma. She spoke to us about those experiences, some of which are more ominous in hindsight.
