Cause of Death Revealed for Ark. Couple Killed in Front of Their 2 Young Daughters
The mother and father who were slain in Arkansas' Devil's Den State Park were stabbed to death, authorities said Thursday

A mother and father who were killed on a hike with their two young daughters in a state park in Arkansas were stabbed to death, authorities said Thursday, July 31, a day after a 28-year-old schoolteacher was charged with capital murder in connection with their deaths.


James Andrew McGann, 28, of Springdale, Ark., was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon and charged with two counts of capital murder, the Arkansas State Police have said.

At a news conference Thursday, authorities said it appeared to be "a completely random event."

"We have no reason to believe that there was any known association between our suspects and our victims," Col. Mike Hagar of the Arkansas State Police said Thursday.
