An Arkansas couple who were murdered while hiking with their two small children in a state park have been identified, Arkansas State Police said in a July 27 news release.
Clinton David Brink, 43, and his wife, Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were hiking with their children at Devil's Den State Park on July 26 when they were attacked, police said. The family had recently moved to the area from another state.
The suspect remains at large. The couple's children, ages 7 and 9, were not harmed and are now with relatives, the agency said.
State police received a report of a homicide in the northwest part of the state at around 2:40 p.m. The Brinks' bodies were found on the trail.
On July 27, Arkansas State Police issued an updated description of a suspect, describing a white man with a medium build wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up; dark pants, a dark baseball cap and sunglasses. The man also had a black backpack and wore fingerless gloves, police said, and was seen driving toward a park exit in a black, four-door sedan, possibly a Mazda, with a license plate possibly covered with electrical or duct tape.
