Was the Devil’s Den killer really after the parents—or was it the children he wanted? In this chilling installment of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to explore whether the true target in the Devil’s Den double homicide was actually the victims’ two young daughters. McGann, a former teacher with a dark and questionable past, showed behavioral patterns that raise alarming questions.
Coffindaffer draws on her background in behavioral profiling to explore how predators may fixate on perceived vulnerabilities and what the details of the attack—especially the sequence and victim selection—may reveal about the killer’s true intentions. McGann's teaching history, potential prior misconduct, and proximity to children through professional roles are examined with brutal clarity.
We also revisit the crime scene timeline, including what the children reportedly witnessed, and how their actions may have prevented an even worse tragedy. Did McGann have a pattern? Was this part of a larger fantasy or fixation? Or was this the moment he acted on something long suppressed?
This episode asks the tough, terrifying questions—and you’ll want to hear what our expert has to say.
