Key questions in Arkansas couple's killing remain unanswered as suspect is set to appear in court
Even though Andrew James McGann is sitting in jail accused of the ghastly double murder of parents who were hiking at a state park in the Ozark Mountains, several key questions linger about why they were killed. The former teacher, who fled after the July 26 attack, was arrested after a dayslong manhunt while he was mid-snip at a hair salon in Springdale, Arkansas, about 30 miles north of Devil's Den State Park. McGann, 28, faces two counts of capital murder and is being held without bond, according to police and jail records. He is being held at the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville. His attorneys declined to comment on the case. As McGann is set to be arraigned Thursday, here are some of the key questions about the fatal stabbing that remain unanswered: While McGann admitted to killing Cristen Brink, 41, and her husband Clinton Brink, 43, during an interview with investigators, why he allegedly did it remains a mystery. Arkansas State Police Col. Mike Hagar previously said the killings appeared to be 'a completely random event' because there's 'absolutely no indication, no reason whatsoever to believe there was any connection at all' between the Brinks and McGann. McGann had recently been hired as a 'teacher candidate' by Springdale Public Schools, according to a district spokesperson, but had not yet started working there. State records show he is currently licensed to teach elementary and middle school grades in at least three states: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Most recently, he was a fifth-grade teacher in the Sand Springs Public Schools in Oklahoma, just west of Tulsa, according to the district. The couple and two of their daughters were hiking at the 2,500-acre Devil's Den State Park in northwest Arkansas when McGann approached them, police said. The park has thick vegetation and little to no cell phone service. Clinton Brink was first ambushed by McGann, police said, and after witnessing the attack, Cristen Brink ran away with her daughters, ages 7 and 9. The mother returned to help her husband, Arkansas State Police Maj. Stacie Rhoads said during a news conference, but she lost her life, too. 'They (the Brinks) absolutely protected those girls to their fullest extent, to the point that it cost them their lives,' Washington County Prosecuting Attorney Brandon Carter said. 'We're in awe of this mom and dad. We're also in awe of these girls.' At some point, a hiker on the trail saw the Brink children and found the bodies of their parents, according to a probable cause document filed by prosecutors. It's unclear how much time passed before the hiker was able to call 911 and report the deaths due to the lack of cell phone service in that area of the park. The couple's bodies were found on the Devil's Den Trail, audio from first responders indicated. While searching the trail, first responders heard shouts, scanner audio indicates, though it's not clear from whom. Authorities obtained a photo of a suspect and later, items seen in that photo were found during a search of McGann's home, along with knives, Rhoads said. However, it is unclear if the weapon used in the crime was among the collected items, Rhoads added. Officials have also not said what weapon they believe McGann used in the stabbing. Authorities launched an intense manhunt for McGann that ended four days after the murders when he was quietly apprehended at a hair salon. But it's unclear what may have led authorities to the hair salon. The information needed to track down the suspect 'all started with those two little girls,' said Hagar, the police chief. At first, the only description of the suspect police had was provided by the children who bore witness to the gruesome attack. But McGann was injured in the ordeal, resulting in blood loss, which allowed investigators to establish a DNA profile, officials said. The Brinks' daughters were not harmed and are safe with relatives, police have said. The Brinks also have a third daughter who was not on the trail with them that day, authorities said. The family had recently moved from another state to Prairie Grove, a small town in northwest Arkansas near the Oklahoma state line, according to police. Their relatives asked for privacy in a statement before McGann was arrested. 'Clinton and Cristen died heroes, protecting their little girls and they deserve justice. They will forever live on in all of our hearts,' their relatives said. Next month the Prairie Grove community is slated to host a community fundraiser to support the Brink family, Prairie Grove Mayor David Faulk told CNN affiliate KTHV. The money raised from the event will go directly to the Brink children in an effort to give them 'a breath of fresh air' and can be 'one less thing they have to worry about,' he said. 'No matter what, there's going to be a stigma in the back of their mind that they will remember this is the place that they've lost their parents,' Faulk said, adding he hopes the Brink girls also remember Prairie Grove was a place where the community came together and supported them. CNN's Dianne Gallagher, Andy Rose, Dalia Faheid, Rebekah Riess and Hanna Park contributed to this report.

Swindon Town issue update after fan disorder at Walsall
Swindon Town have issued an update on their investigation into an incident of fan disorder during their opening day match at Walsall. Towards the end of their 2-1 defeat at the Pallet Track Bescot Stadium, a chair was allegedly thrown at Saddler's goalkeeper Myles Roberts, abuse was directed at stewards, staff, players and match officials, and there was use of pyrotechnics. Swindon Town issued a statement condemning the incident and said that they would conduct a 'full and thorough investigation', working closely with Walsall and West Midlands Police to identify those responsible.

On August 13, Swindon Town issued a further statement to update supporters on the progress of their investigation. The statement said: 'As of yesterday, Wiltshire Police are awaiting details from West Midlands Police. We are also expecting to receive a number of images from the match, which will assist us in the process of identifying the individuals involved — who, it appears, are currently unknown to the police. 'Our stance remains clear: anyone found to have engaged in such behaviour will face the strictest possible sanctions, including banning orders and, where appropriate, legal action. 'We continue to work closely with Walsall Football Club, both police forces, and other relevant authorities to ensure those responsible are held to account. 'Once again, we thank the overwhelming majority of Swindon Town supporters who continue to follow the team with passion, respect, and in the right way. We urge everyone to play their part in maintaining a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment at all fixtures, home and away.' Ian Holloway was equally outraged by the incident when he spoke to the press after the match. He said: 'I am here to represent my wonderful football club in a way that is courteous in defeat, tenacious as well, I want to fight for things, but you don't rip out a seat and throw it at someone. 'I wouldn't want Walsall thinking that about all of us, so anyone who stood next to them, I want them dobbed in because that's not right. 'These people creep into football, and no one does anything about it. I am standing up for Swindon Town, a magnificent club, and we don't want anything to do with this. 'Whoever you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. I am going to hunt you down and find you.'
