An Arkansas couple was found murdered on a hiking trial in a state park on Saturday.
Clinton David Brink, aged 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, aged 41, were on a hiking trip with their daughters, aged 7 and 9, according to Arkansas State Police. Fortunately, the girls were unharmed and are now staying with relatives.
Police said the suspect, who has not been identified, was wearing a long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
Police described the suspect as an unidentified white male with a medium build. He was dressed in dark pants, a dark cap, and sunglasses. Additionally, the suspect carried a black backpack and wore fingerless gloves. Witnesses spotted him driving towards the park’s exit in a black, four-door sedan.
Investigators say the vehicle may have been a Mazda and had its license plate covered by electrical or duct tape.
