The ASP arrested McGain at 4:57 pm on Wednesday. He was accused of two cases of capital murder in connection with the killings of 43 -year -old Clinton David Brink and 41 -year -old Christon Amanda Brink, who were found dead on a walking route in Devils Dane.
Officials said their daughters, who are 7 and 9 years old, were not hurt and are being taken care of by family members.
ASP director Colonel Mike Hagar announced at a Thursday news conference that both Clinton and Kristen Brink died of knife wounds. A knife was confirmed as a weapon of murder. He also clarified that investigators did not receive any indication that the daughters were targeted.
“This seems to be a completely random phenomenon,” said Hagar. “We have no reason to believe that there was a known relationship between our suspect and our victims.”
Hagar said McGain maintained “injuries” during the attack. The blood found on the spot helped the authorities find suspects, he said.
Hagar said that McGain confirmed the crime and DNA evidence confirmed his participation.
“Although everyone is innocent until he is guilty, we confirmed this morning that the suspect’s DNA is a positive match for DNA recovered at the crime site,” Hagar said. “During an interview with the investigators, the suspect admitted to committing the murders. We also conducted a search warrant at his residence and recovered the objects to suit the crime.”

According to a statement by Sand Springs public schools, McGain was a teacher in a small Oklahoma school district by May and then resigned to work in another state. He said that McGain had investigated all the backgrounds.
McGain had not yet started his new job in Arkansas in Springdale Public Schools, District Superintendent Jered Cleveland confirmed Fox News. Cleveland stated that McGain “not at any time” is in touch with students or their families. He refused to provide more information citing the investigation.
He said, “Our entire team expresses our deep condolences to the family.” “Their children are especially in our thoughts and prayers.”
The mother of an alumni gave an email to Fox News from the teacher’s previous school district. He said that in 2023, he lodged a complaint with the superintendent when his son saw McGain behaving unfairly towards young women students.
In response, the parents received a letter from the district stating that McGain was placed on administrative leave, while the authorities had investigated complaints of poor class management and professional decisions.
While the investigation did not find evidence of inappropriate behavior towards a student, it concluded that McGain’s class management and decision fell below the district expectations. Shortly thereafter, McGain resigned.
Email said, “On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. McGain told our Human Resource Department about his decision to resign from his post, immediately effective.” “We will have a substantial teacher in his class for the rest of the school year.”
