Teacher Allegedly Confesses to Brutal Devils Den Murders

Cristen and Clinton Brink were the kind of parents everyone admired—selfless, loving, and fiercely protective of their children. On July 26, 2025, what began as a peaceful family hike at Devil’s Den State Park turned into a scene of unimaginable horror. Police say the suspect, 28-year-old Andrew James McGann, a newly hired third-grade teacher, allegedly admitted to murdering the Brinks in front of their two young daughters.

The girls escaped unharmed, but their parents didn’t make it out alive—because they gave their lives to protect them. As shocking details emerge, including past allegations of inappropriate behavior around children, a disturbing picture of McGann’s past is coming into focus. Investigators say the attack was random, but the possibility of something far more sinister has many asking: Was he targeting the girls all along?

This is the full breakdown of the case, from the Brink family’s final moments to the arrest of their accused killer—and why many now call Cristen and Clinton heroes.
