ASP ARRESTS SUSPECT IN
DEVIL'S DEN DOUBLE HOMICIDE

James Andrew McGann

July 30, 2025
LOWELL, Ark. — Special Agents with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) have arrested James Andrew McGann, 28, of Springdale, in connection to a double homicide that occurred on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at Devil’s Den State Park.
McGann was taken into custody at 4:57 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at a business in Springdale. He was charged with two counts of Capital Murder.
Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were fatally attacked while hiking with their two daughters. The girls, who are 7 and 9, were not injured and are safe with family members.
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following: “No news can heal the enormous harm done to the Brink family in last weekend’s crime, but this announcement is a comfort and reassurance for our State. I am so proud of the Arkansas State Police, Park Rangers, local law enforcement, and others who have worked nonstop since last weekend to capture this suspect. I ask that Arkansans lift up prayers of thanks for the brave men and women of law enforcement – and offer prayers of condolence to the victims of this horrific crime. Let there be no mistake – we do not tolerate violent crime in Arkansas. If you target innocent people, law enforcement will hunt you down and bring you to justice."
ASP Col. Mike Hagar added, "I’m extremely grateful for the long hours and dedication that our Agents put forward in bringing justice to this family. The collaboration between State Police, other state and local law enforcement agencies, and our federal partners has been second to none. Because of their hard work and investigative skill, we were able to take a monster off the streets, and bring relief to those two precious girls, and the rest of our citizens."
Additional details will be released as they become available.

Ewww

He's got creepy eyes, kinda like BK, but lighter colored

Springdale is less than 10 miles north of Fayetteville, so he would be local to the Devil's Den park area.

Maybe they need further evidence before they can release more info in case they have the wrong guy. Might be more than one person involved. Maybe they want to catch the others. Ooh, looks like they got him.

The Kia Stinger is also a similar 5-door fastback:

Snipped

Looks like Springdale is about 36 miles or so north of the park:

His hair is much more strawberry blonde than I expected. Sketch was way off.

His eyes are terrifying just like the people on the trail said.

 

[Inthedetails]

So curious how they honed in on him. I'm thinking the car?

Likely some old-fashioned detective work more than data??

Hope we get some details at the presser about that.

So very relieved this alleged monster-loser-creep-family ruiner has been arrested. Well done LE!

ETA Also well done to any tipsters who might have recognized him and did the right thing by making the call.

 

[midwest_musician]

There is absolutely no way he thought he could get away with it ... and then getting a haircut in the same city? Likely some sort of psychosis (yet still somewhat methodical in planning) - or he just wanted to commit a crime and be known for doing it - he clearly wasn't trying to escape - just weird

 

[Vaderman]

Those ears doomed him:

Same! Since he’s pretty local, I bet the combination of his picture and a rough description of his car led to some tips being called in. I feel like I’d recognize someone I know from the back, especially if their car matched the description. I’m glad they got him!

 

[SMK777]

He is as opposite of the sketch as it's possible to be. And ironically the rumored man M Roth was a dead ringer for the sketch. How ironic and perplexing.

Absolutely him. Ears .. could pick them out anywhere

 

[bajaflash]

If he was seriously getting a haircut instead of just shaving his own off...that's wild

Good catch .

Yes, the same blank, empty stare...

... of a psychopath, I might add, IMO.
