Arkansas double murder suspect Andy McGann originally from Chicago, went to Fenwick High School in Oak Park
Andy McGann made his first appearance in an Arkansas court Friday for the gruesome double murder. Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were found dead Saturday at Devil's Den State Park. Police said they were hiking with their 7- and 9-year-old daughters when they were attacked. The daughters were not injured.
New surveillance video shows the moment McGann, 28, was arrested Wednesday at an Arkansas barbershop while in the middle of a haircut, following a five-day manhunt.
Police say his DNA matches evidence found at the scene, and said he confessed to the crime.
"He did indicate that he committed the murders," said Arkansas State Police Major Stacie Rhoads.
McGann grew up in Chicago and, according to property records, at one point lived in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood with his family. At one point they moved out of the city, and in 2015 he graduated from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, Illinois.
A Fenwick spokesperson told CBS News Chicago that legally, and per school policy, they are unable to discuss any aspect of a student's records without written consent or a subpoena. But McGann's senior yearbook photo is seen in Fenwick's 2015 yearbook. A photo from 2012 also shows him on the football team.
McGann moved out of state and was recently hired to teach at an Arkansas school. Before that he taught in Oklahoma and in Texas, where he resigned after being placed on administrative leave.
Investigators say McGann stabbed Clinton Brink first, and his wife rushed their daughters to safety. When she returned to help her husband, detectives say she was also stabbed to death.
"They absolutely protected those girls to their fullest extent," said prosecutor Brandon Carter.
Police said they are still looking for a motive for the attack, and believe it was a completely random event. They also said they have no reason to believe McGann knew his victims.

What's known and not yet known about the Justice Department's scrutiny of Trump-Russia probe origins
WASHINGTON (AP) — News that Attorney General Pam Bondi is moving to criminally investigate the Obama-era origins of the Trump-Russia investigation means that one of the most studied, and politically polarizing, chapters of modern American history will be under the microscope yet again. Here's a look at what's known and not yet known about the latest Justice Department revelation: A saga with a long backstory Perhaps no issue continues to aggravate President Donald Trump more than the assessment by intelligence officials that Russia interfered in the 2016 election on his behalf and the investigation by law enforcement into whether his campaign colluded with Moscow to tip the outcome of the contest. Robert Mueller, the former FBI director tapped as special counsel by Trump's first Justice Department to investigate, found that Russia had waged a multi-prong operation in Trump's favor and that the Republican president's campaign welcomed the aid. But Mueller did not find sufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign. As president for a second time, Trump has made no secret of his desire to use the Justice Department as a weapon of retribution against perceived political adversaries he sees as having smeared him, including by calling for Obama-era officials to be jailed. And his administration, now more broadly and across multiple agencies, has been engaged in a effort to reopen the long-accepted conclusion — including among prominent Republicans — of Russian interference and to scrutinize the officials involved in reaching that assessment. A Bondi grand jury directive Bondi, a Trump loyalist, has directed Justice Department prosecutors to present evidence related to the Russia inquiry to a grand jury. Grand juries are tools used by prosecutors to issue subpoenas for records and prosecutors and to produce indictments based on the evidence they receive. The bar is low for an indictment given that the presentation of evidence by prosecutors is one-sided, though grand juries do have the option to decline to indict and have done so in the past. A person familiar with the matter confirmed Bondi's directive to The Associated Press but key questions remain. It was not disclosed, for instance, which prosecutors are pursuing the investigation, where the grand jury that might hear evidence is located and whether and when law enforcement officials might seek to bring criminal charges. The Justice Department, in an unusual statement last month, appeared to confirm the existence of an investigation into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director James Brennan but provided no details or specifics. Potential targets of probe remain unclear It's not clear who might be targeted in the investigation, but the Trump administration has been aggressively challenging intelligence community conclusions about Russia's actions and intentions that had long ago seemed settled. It's been a welcome diversion for the administration as it confronts a wave of criticism from Trump's base and conservative influencers over the handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation. In the last month, Trump administration officials and allies have released a series of documents aimed at casting doubt on the extent of interference and at portraying the original Russia investigation as an Obama administration frame-job. The documents have been hailed as incontrovertible proof of a conspiracy, but a close inspection of the records shows they fall well short of that. Among the documents released by Tulsi Gabbard, the administration's director of national intelligence, are emails from 2016 showing that Obama administration officials recognized in 2016 that Russians had not hacked state election systems to manipulate votes in favor of Trump. But the absence of evidence that votes were switched — something the Obama administration never alleged — has no bearing on the ample evidence of other forms of Russia interference, including a hack-and-leak operation involving Democratic emails and a covert social media campaign aimed at sowing discord and spreading disinformation. Last week, Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a previously classified annex of a 2023 report by John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the first Trump administration to hunt for government misconduct in the Russia probe. The annex included a series of emails, including one from July 2016 that was purportedly sent by a senior staffer at a philanthropic organization founded by billionaire investor George Soros, that referred to a plan approved by then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to falsely link Trump to Russia. But Durham's own report took pain to note that investigators had not corroborated the communications as authentic and said the best assessment was that the message was 'a composites of several emails' the Russians had obtained from hacking — raising the likelihood that it was a product of Russian disinformation. Fresh scrutiny has also centered around the intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference, which was published in January 2017. An annex in a classified version of the assessment contained a summary of the so-called Steele dossier — a compilation of opposition research that included uncorroborated rumors and salacious gossip about Trump and Russia. The latest in a series of investigations Just as Russian interference has been heavily scrutinized, so too has the U.S. government's response to it. Multiple government reports, including not only from Mueller but also a Republican-led Senate intelligence committee that included current Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have documented Russia's activities in sweeping details. To be sure, reports from the Justice Department inspector general and Durham also identified significant flaws in the FBI's Russia investigation, including errors and omissions in applications the Justice Department submitted to a secretive surveillance court to eavesdrop on a national security adviser to the 2016 Trump campaign. But Durham found no criminal wrongdoing among government officials, bringing three criminal cases — two against private citizens that resulted in acquittals at trial and a third against a little-known FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to doctoring an email. It is unclear if there is any criminal wrongdoing that exists that Durham, who launched his investigation in 2019 and concluded it four years later, somehow missed during his sprawling inquiry.

Ghislaine Maxwell Opposes Release Of Grand Jury Materials In Her Case
Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein convicted on charges including sex trafficking in 2021, is opposing the Justice Department's push to unseal the materials from the grand jury that indicted her, according to a letter filed by her attorneys Tuesday. Maxwell's lawyers called unsealing the materials 'a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy' as she tries to appeal her conviction to the Supreme Court. Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The Justice Department previously asked courts in Florida and New York to unseal grand jury materials due to 'historical or public interest,' but Maxwell's lawyers rejected this assertion, saying 'intense public curiosity' around the case doesn't amount to prosecutors' claim of 'historical' interest. In a letter filed Tuesday, Maxwell's lawyers said prosecutors in the Southern District of New York made her the 'face of [Epstein's] crimes' after his untimely death in 2019, and 'the scapegoat and the only person the government could put on trial.' Maxwell's lawyers also claimed she has never had the opportunity to review all of the materials the grand jury collected in 2021, and that the law enforcement personnel who testified before the grand jury and many 'complaining witnesses' remain alive—however the Justice Department previously confirmed in a filing that only an FBI agent and an NYPD detective testified before the grand jury. Maxwell is currently appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court, with her attorneys arguing she should not have been prosecuted due to a controversial non-prosecution agreement Epstein signed as part of his plea deal. 'Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not. Whatever interest the public might have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options remain viable, and her due process rights remain,' Maxwell's lawyers wrote in the filing Tuesday. Key Background The Trump administration began releasing files in February related to the federal case against Epstein, but most of the files included in the release had previously been leaked and contained little new information. The Justice Department abruptly ended the releases in July, announcing in a memo that 'no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.' After days of backlash, Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process to unseal the materials from the grand jury probes into Epstein. However, grand jury proceedings typically remain secret, and a judge in Florida already rejected efforts to unseal materials from the grand juries convened in West Palm Beach in 2005 and 2007. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena the Justice Department for the full unredacted Epstein files, as well as high-profile figures including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They also voted to subpoena Maxwell, but agreed to delay her testimony until after her appeal to the Supreme Court.
