35:55Now PlayingArkansas State police press conference regarding the updates on the 28-year-old suspect who killed a married couple hiking with their children at Devil’s Den State Park.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas police charged a 28-year-old schoolteacher in the killing of a married couple who were hiking with their children at Devil’s Den State Park, finding him in a nearby city after a five-day search and public pleas for trailgoers to look through their photos.
State Police arrested Andrew James McGann at a barbershop in Springdale, said Col. Stacie Rhoads, commander of the department’s criminal investigation division. He was charged with two counts of capital murder and was being held without bond Thursday in the state’s Washington County jail.
Police announced the arrest at a Wednesday night news conference but would not discuss a motive. McGann had been hired at Springdale Public Schools as a teacher candidate for the upcoming year but had not yet come into contact with any of its families or students, the district said in a statement.
A lawyer couldn’t be located for McGann, and a message was left for a number listed for him. His first court appearance was scheduled for Friday.
“If you commit a violent, senseless act here in our state, our law enforcement will hunt you down and bring you to justice, because that’s what the people of Arkansas frankly deserve,” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters.
Springdale is roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of the state’s remote Devil’s Den park, where trails have remained closed since Saturday’s killings.
