A tragic double homicide occurred in Devil’s Den State Park, Arkansas, where Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were found dead while hiking with their two daughters, aged 7 and 9. The couple had recently relocated to Prairie Grove from out of state, having previously lived in California and Montana. Authorities were alerted to the incident shortly before 3 p.m. on Saturday. Both daughters were unharmed and are now in the care of family.
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders expressed her condolences, stating her heartbreak over the horrific news and assured the public that law enforcement is committed to finding the suspect. A manhunt is underway, with state police searching for a male suspect described as having a medium build and wearing dark clothing. He may have been seen leaving the park in a black sedan, possibly a Mazda, with tape obscuring the license plate.
Details regarding the weapon and motive remain unclear, and the Arkansas State Crime Lab is working to determine the cause of death. Detectives are seeking help from the public, urging anyone who visited the park on Saturday and possesses video footage to come forward. The area where the incident occurred is described as “remote and rural,” with limited cellphone service.
As an investigation continues, all trails at Devil’s Den State Park are closed to the public. The park is known for its hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails, and had recently debuted a new campground. How the double homicide was initially reported is not yet known.
