Former Texas student of Devil's Den murder suspect expressed concerns of inappropriate behavior
McGann, 28, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center around 7 p.m. on Wednesday. He was charged with two counts of capital murder connected to the deaths of Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, who were fatally attacked while hiking with their two daughters.
Sierra Marcum told KNWA/KFTA's NBC affiliate in Dallas, NBC 5 DFW, that she recalled her son voicing several concerns with McMann when he was a teacher in Lewisville, Texas.
Marcum said McGann was her son's homeroom teacher. She said he didn't manage his class well. She also said that her son had voiced concerns about inappropriate behavior, saying he had seen some things that made him feel uncomfortable.
Marcum told NBC 5 DFW that she informed the school of what her son had told her. The school told her it found no evidence of inappropriate behavior, but he was put on administrative leave for inadequate management and judgment.

Baltimore police ask for help to identify human remains found in 2024
Baltimore police on Thursday asked for the community's help to identify human remains that were found in August 2024. The body was found in the 1600 block of McKean Avenue on Aug. 13, 2024, police said. Investigators were able to create a sketch of the victim based on the skeletal remains, and are asking for community members to call homicide detectives at 410-396-2100 if they have any information. This is not the first time that human remains have been found in the Baltimore area. In late July, human remains were found in a van that was removed from Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Police later learned that the van, which had a logo for Silver Taxi Vab Service of Waldorf, had been reported missing in 2014 and was likely submerged for years. The body has not yet been identified. A similar case in May led to the arrest of two 18-year-olds after the remains of a Maryland business owner were found in a burned vehicle. Police in Anne Arundel County were able to identify the victim as 67-year-old Edward Stephen Koza, the owner of the Tropic Bay Aquatic Garden Center, where the burned car was found. The two 18-year-olds were identified as Jonah Poole and Kylee Dakes, students at Southern High School. Both were charged with murder, assault and arson, police said. In March, Howard County police solved a cold case from 1975, where the body of 20-year-old Roseann Sturtz was found in a wooded area of Columbia, Maryland, months after she was reported missing from downtown Baltimore. Sturtz's coworkers were able to identify her from a sketch that had been circulated in a newspaper. However, it wasn't until years later that a review of evidence led to the discovery that Sturtz's killer, Charles William Davis Jr., was already serving a life sentence for another murder.

Report: NFL initially proposed double-digit game Rashee Rice suspension, open to a settlement
This season is up in the air for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, who is awaiting punishment for his involvement in a multi-car crash in Dallas last year. But earlier in the process, the NFL initially proposed an lengthy punishment, suggesting that Rice be suspended for double-digit games, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. In July, Rice pled guilty to two felony charges related to the crash, and was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days in jail. The sentencing gave the NFL the opening to hand down an additional punishment, with a multi-game suspension expected. Per Pelissero, Rice's representation — including the NFLPA, his agents and his attorney — argued against the NFL's proposal, asking for a much shorter suspension that better reflects the precedent for a case like this. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] A hearing to determine Rice's suspension has been set for Sept. 30, likely making the receiver available for the start of the season. But Pelissero also reported that it was still possible for a settlement to be reached before the start of the season. If a settlement is reached, Rice may be able to sit out at the start of the season, rather than let the hearing stretch on into appeals and threaten the receiver's long-term availability. A double-digit suspension would be an unexpectedly harsh punishment for Rice in terms of this incident, keeping him off the field for more than half of the 2025 season. To put things in perspective, former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was suspended for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season for a pattern of sexual misconduct with massage therapists in the Baltimore area; in 2022, Deshaun Watson was suspended 11 games for a similar conduct policy violation. Rice's plea deal with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office gave him deferred probation, meaning that his case will be dismissed if he successfully completes his five years of probation. Rice can reportedly serve the 30 days of jail time at any point during his probation. Rice was also required to pay the medical expenses of the victims, totaling $115,481.91, as part of the deal. In addition to his sentence, Rice was sued for $1 million by the two people who were injured in the crash; that lawsuit was settled the day before he received his sentence. Despite the uncertainty, Rice has not been limited in training camp with the Chiefs, and has been playing in the team's typical rotation. "We're going to progress as normal with him," Kansas City head coach Andy Reid told reporters in July. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'd normally take. We always rotate that position. So depending on what happens here in the future, whoever needs to play will be able step in, and they'll know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it." If Rice and the NFL do not reach a settlement before his Sept. 30 hearing, Rice will be available for the first four games of the season, including the Chiefs' opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5 and the home opener (and Super Bowl rematch) against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 14.
