Clinton and Cristen Brink moved with their two young daughters from South Dakota to Arkansas in mid 2025. They moved for a fresh start and to be closer to family.
On Saturday July 26, 2025, the family headed to the beautiful Devil’s Den State Park to hike and explore the area.
While they were hiking, the family came across Andrew McGann. Andrew allegedly fatally attacked Clinton. Cristen took their daughters to safety before returning to try to help her husband. She was also then brutally murdered.
Andrew has pleaded not guilty to two counts of capital murder. His trial is currently scheduled for November 2025.
Terrifyingly, authorities have said that this appears to have been a totally random attack. No motive has been made public.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
