Share and Follow

Manhunt underway in Arkansas after a mom and dad were killed at Devil’s Den State Park in front of their young daughters in broad daylight.

Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were hiking with their two daughters, ages 7 and 9, on Saturday when the attack occurred. The parents are being hailed as heroes for protecting their little girls.

According to police in a statement on Sunday, the Brinks’ daughters were not injured and are “safe with family members.”

Police have not given further details on how the couple died, but are asking for help in locating the killer. Police issued a statement urging local residents and park visitors to check personal devices for any cell phone videos, photos, security footage, or other materials from the day of the killings.

DESCRIPTION: Police describe the killer as a white man of medium build, wearing dark pants, a dark baseball cap, and sunglasses, as well as a black backpack and fingerless gloves.

A composite sketch released Monday evening showed a man with dark eyes, stubble, and thin lips. The man was seen driving toward a park exit in a black vehicle, which might be a Mazda with a license plate covered by electrical or duct tape, police added.

Please do not approach anyone with this description. Call 911 or the Arkansas State Police at 479-751-6663.
