In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan.

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.
