About this listen

 Evil In Devil’s Den: The Andrew McGann Case is your front-row seat to one of the most chilling and devastating double homicides in recent American history. This true crime podcast dives deep into the July 2025 murders of Clinton and Cristen Brink—two parents brutally stabbed while hiking with their young daughters in Devil’s Den State Park, Arkansas.

Hosted by seasoned investigative journalist Tony Brueski, Evil In Devil’s Den doesn’t just report the headlines — it exposes the cracks in the system that allowed alleged killer Andrew James McGann to move from school to school despite red flags and internal complaints. How does a man with no known criminal record suddenly explode into alleged violence of this magnitude? What role did institutional failure play? And who, if anyone, could have stopped him?

Each episode features exclusive interviews with eyewitnesses, law enforcement insiders, legal experts, and forensic psychologists. You’ll hear from the 911 dispatcher who took the first calls, hikers who encountered McGann before the killings, and those left behind in the wake of this horror. We also analyze the courtroom drama, unravel potential motive theories, and track every twist in the legal process—from arrest to trial.

If you think this is just another murder in a park, think again. This is a case about the monsters we miss, the warnings we ignore, and the families forever changed by silence.

  • BREAKING: Devil's Den Accused Andrew McGann Pleads NOT GUILTY

    BREAKING: Devil's Den Accused Andrew McGann Pleads NOT GUILTY

    BREAKING: Devil's Den Accused Andrew McGann Pleads NOT GUILTY
    Andrew James McGann — the man accused of slaughtering Clinton and Cristen Brink during a family hike at Devil’s Den State Park — stood in a closed-door courtroom today and pleaded not guilty to two counts of capital murder. The plea comes despite what Arkansas State Police say was a clear, detailed confession just days after his arrest.

    On July 26, 2025, the Brinks were hiking with their young daughters when they were brutally attacked. Clinton was killed first; Cristen ran with the children toward safety — then turned back for her husband, losing her life in the process. The girls escaped and led rescuers back to their parents.

    After a four-day manhunt, McGann was arrested in a Springdale barbershop — mid-haircut — and reportedly admitted to the killings. DNA evidence, eyewitness accounts, and surveillance all pointed to him. Yet today, behind closed doors with no cameras or public gallery, McGann spoke two words that will define the next chapter of this case: “Not guilty.”

    Why would someone reportedly confess, then plead not guilty? It’s the standard move in a capital case, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. But the contradiction between his alleged words to police and his words in court has left the public stunned, the victims’ family heartbroken, and the community on edge.

    This episode dives deep into the plea, the timeline of the murders, McGann’s background as a former teacher with troubling past allegations, the possibility of other crimes under investigation, and what this means for the trial ahead.

  • THIS Legal Failure Is Putting Your Kids at Risk! Why YOU NEED To Demand Change NOW!

    THIS Legal Failure Is Putting Your Kids at Risk! Why YOU NEED To Demand Change NOW!

    THIS Legal Failure Is Putting Your Kids at Risk! Why YOU NEED To Demand Change NOW!

    How does a man like Andrew McGann move from district to district, facing red flags and disturbing allegations, only to land in another classroom? How does he end up the suspect in a brutal double homicide just days before he was scheduled to start teaching again? And how is that story not rare?

    In this full-length conversation, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers to break down what’s gone catastrophically wrong in our nation’s school systems. Across four deep segments, we expose the legal cracks, cultural cowardice, and systemic failures that allow predatory teachers to keep slipping through.

    We start with the collapse of mandatory reporting, where laws exist but accountability doesn't. Then we pull the curtain back on how districts “pass the trash”—quietly pushing out problematic employees with no record or warning. Faddis explains how internal investigations are used not to protect children, but to protect institutions from lawsuits.

    We explore the liability-first culture that paralyzes schools from acting even when patterns emerge. And we close with the reforms that must happen if we’re ever going to stop seeing headlines like the one out of Devil’s Den.

    This is not a conspiracy. This is happening — in your state, in your district, maybe even in your kid’s school.

    If you care about transparency in education, this conversation is essential. Watch the full breakdown and share it — because silence is what keeps these predators protected.
