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 on a hike with their two young daughters, ages 7 and 9, when tragedy struck on Saturday. The parents are being lauded as heroes for their efforts to shield their children.

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

Authorities have not disclosed specifics regarding the circumstances of the couple’s deaths, but they are seeking assistance in finding the perpetrator. They have issued a plea for local residents and park-goers to review any personal recordings such as cell phone videos, photographs, security tapes, or similar from the day of the incident.

DESCRIPTION: The suspect is described by police as a Caucasian male with an average build, dressed in dark trousers, a dark baseball cap, and sunglasses, along with a black backpack and fingerless gloves.

On Monday evening, police released a composite sketch showing a man with dark eyes, unshaven stubble, and thin lips. Witnesses noted he drove a black vehicle, possibly a Mazda, with its license plate obscured using electrical or duct tape.

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