Overview

• After a five-day manhunt, 28-year-old Andrew James McGann was arrested at a Springdale barbershop and confessed to killing Clinton and Cristen Brink during a family hike.
• He has been charged with two counts of capital murder and is being held without bond pending his initial court appearance.
• Authorities matched McGann’s DNA to blood found at the scene and say the attack was random, with no known link to the victims.
• The Brinks’ daughters, ages seven and nine, were unharmed and are now in the care of relatives as officials arrange ongoing support.
• Investigators are reviewing McGann’s active teaching licenses in three states and probing his motive for the seemingly unprovoked attack.
