The manhunt is over.

Andrew James McGann, 28, has been captured by Arkansas authorities after a one-day manhunt.

McGann, who has been accused of killing a married couple at Arkansas’ Devil’s Den State Park, admitted to murdering the couple shortly after he was arrested.

The 27-year-old was on the run after he allegedly killed Clinton David Brink, 43,  and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, in front of their daughters while they were hiking.

ABC News reported more on the arrest of Andrew McGann:

A 28-year-old teacher has admitted to murdering the married couple found stabbed to death on a walking trail in an Arkansas park over the weekend in what appears to be a “completely random” attack, police said.

Andrew James McGann, 28, of Springdale, Arkansas, was charged with two counts of capital murder in the killings of 43-year-old Clinton David Brink and his wife, 41-year-old Cristen Amanda Brink, Arkansas State Police announced Wednesday evening.

The Brinks were “fatally attacked” while out hiking with their two daughters at Devil’s Den State Park on July 26, police said. The “horrific” assault occurred about a half mile into the park, with the husband attacked first, police said.

The children, ages 7 and 9, were not harmed in the incident thanks to the actions of their mother, police said.

“We believe that the mother took them to safety, and then returned to help her husband,” Maj. Stacie Rhoads with the Arkansas State Police said during a press briefing Thursday.
