The suspected teacher, Arkansas, is disturbed by parents with “strange” behavior
Two years before he was arrested in the killing of two hikers in Arkansas, Andrew J. McGan is known to some parents at an elementary school in Texas because of his pattern of indirect behavior around their children.
Lindsay Camp Polyak, whose son will spend some days in the semester of McGann at the Donald Primary School in the town of Flower Mound. I also noticed what I described as “majestic” for girls in girls in the classroom.
“My child will return to the house and say:” Mr. McGan loves to play. He plays a mark on vacation every day with girls, “adding that her son told her that McGan has given special prizes – but only for girls.
In a group chat with parents in the fourth grade, Polyak said that she learned that McCjan had arranged “special lunch” where some girls will remain in his classroom; Some parents claimed that McGan encouraged girls to sit in his lap.
Details of McGhan’s background appeared as a teacher after the authorities arrested him in the deadly stab wounds of a couple in Arkansas Divals Den State on July 26. Officials believe that McCjan, 28, stabbed Clinton David Brenk, 43, and his wife, Kristen Amanda Bernk, 42, in front of their 7, 9 and 9 -year -old.
McGhan’s motive is still a mystery. “The officials have no reason to believe that there is any known relationship between the suspects and the victims,” Arkansasa State Police Director Mike Hajar told reporters on Thursday. The Arkansas authorities do not believe that the young Brenx girls were the intended targets of what appears to be a random attack.
Polyak learned about the arrest of Mcgann in a haircut after a parent sent her a link to a news article. She said, “I was like, this,- this is Macgane, this is the man who knew my child.” “He had no work about our children.”
Megan Perkins, one of the parents who attended his child Donald Elementary, described McGhan as “strange”. She remembered that he was able to compete with children during the field day competitions. She said that other parents would talk about his strange behavior, although everyone was not necessarily anxious, and some believed that he was simply not safe as a new man in society.
In a statement, the school’s independent province of Louisville said that McGhan “was placed on an administrative leave in the spring of 2023 after concerns about the classroom management, professional governance and student favoritism.” The educational area said, “The internal investigation has not found any evidence of inappropriate behavior with students.”
The Texas Education Agency said it has no record of government investigations into McGan, but it has set a flag in the teaching certificate on Thursday after his arrest.
Louisville said that McCajan resigned from the educational zone in May 2023. Then he returned to Oklahoma, where he got a job as a fifth-grade teacher at Spring Kreik Elementary School in Oklahoma City for the 2023-24 academic year.
In an interview with NBC News, a woman whose son was in the McGann chapter at Spring Creek said he was “very calm, but all children loved him.”
The woman, who talked about the lack of disclosure of her identity due to concerns about the potential harassment, said that her son admired his teacher and began to wear polo shirts to school, “because this is what Mr. McGan wears.” McGan expressed his interest in wrestling, walking long distances and outdoor air, and at some point a running club for children began.
I noticed that McGan was “embarrassing about parents” and “struggled to contact the eye during parents’ conferences and teachers.” She joked that he had taught primary school students because he was “afraid of adults.”
In a statement, Oclahoma General Schools said that McCajan “voluntarily resigned at the end of that year to continue employment elsewhere.”
The province said that “there were no disciplinary measures taken against him during his period in the broken Arrow General Schools, and nothing in his background or reference checks gave a cause of concern during the interview.”
The next McGhan Station was the Northwood Academy of Fine Arts in the Sand Springs suburb of Toulsa, where it was working during the 2024-25 academic year. Sand Springs General Schools confirmed in a statement that government schools Sand Springs in a statement taught the fifth grade again and again “resigned from his post” at the end of the academic year.
It is not clear why McCajan decided to move to Arkansas. But he lined up another educational job there, this time with Springdale General Schools.
On July 26, two weeks before the beginning of the school year, one of the hikers coincided with a terrible theater in the Devil’s Den State Park. The wandering founded two girls alone on the road, led them to safety, then encountered their fathers, who were stabbed to death, according to a preliminary report issued by the Office of the Public Prosecutor of the Fourth Judicial Region in the state.
A man left the corridor what appeared to be blood on his face before entering a black sedan later designed to be Kia Steinger, according to the report.
The killings began in a hunt that lasted four days before the police tracked Stinger to Sprinjel, where McGan was getting a haircut.
Al -Hallaq, Adriana Guadalobi Ruiz Affalos, said she felt a strange feeling about him almost immediately.
Ruiz Avalus said she tends to read a good reading on clients who flow into Loubta, a family -owned beauty salon in the city of Springl in Arkansas. For this reason, her guard went up when one of the two sides of his twenty -year -old went up in the loose fax to the salon on Wednesday afternoon and asked for a high haircut.
Ruiz Avalos, 28, started the disk but watched her client closely. She was following news reports on the frantic search for the suspect in Devil’s Deen. The man looked shy in front of her, barely saying a word and keeps his head down.
About five minutes after a haircut, the law enforcement officer entered inside. He was looking for a driver parked outside, and he is He had some questions for the calm Ruiz Avalos client.
A long time ago, McGann was tied and taken away.
Ruiz Avalos, who watches a lot of real documentary films for crime, kept McGann haircuts on the ground if they were useful for researchers looking for DNA evidence. In the hours that followed his arrest, I faced a problem with calm.
“I felt nauseous all night. I did not fall asleep until six o’clock, but I was just thinking,” said Ruiz Avalos.
The edge, like McGan, was modern transplants to Arkansas. They moved to the state about three weeks ago, according to Clinton’s sister, Katrina Hitchchens.
The family said that Clinton and Christin died “protecting their little girls.”
“They deserve justice,” the family said in a brief statement.
McGann has been reserved on charges of premeditated murder, prison records appear. The authorities said that Machan’s DNA is identical to the scene. He made data for investigators, “indicating that he committed these heinous acts.”
