In this gripping episode, we delve into the chilling case of James Andrew McGann, the 28-year-old suspect in the brutal double homicide at Devil's Den State Park, Arkansas, where he allegedly stabbed a married couple to death in front of their young daughters. But the horror doesn't stop there—McGann, a former elementary school teacher who went by "Drew," faced ignored complaints of inappropriate behavior toward young female students during his brief career. Despite parental reports of him being "very touchy" with girls, placing them on his lap, and making unsettling comments, internal investigations in Texas found no substantiation, allowing him to resign quietly and shuffle between districts in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas without red flags. We expose the systemic failures known as "passing the trash," where schools prioritize avoiding scandal over child safety, enabling potential predators to evade accountability. Featuring interviews with affected parents like Sierra Marcum and insights from experts on educator misconduct, this episode uncovers how warning signs were dismissed, leaving a trail of vulnerability that culminated in tragedy.
