Just a bit more on the Devil’s Den murder suspect, Andrew James McGann – and honestly, it’s chilling. This guy is 28, and had just been hired as a third-grade teacher in Springdale, Arkansas, for the upcoming school year. Yup, he passed all the background checks, and parents were none the wiser.

This guy is 28, and had just been hired as a third-grade teacher in Springdale, Arkansas, for the upcoming school year. Yup, he passed all the background checks, and parents were none the wiser.

But dig a little deeper and you’ll see a string of red flags. Before Arkansas, he taught in Oklahoma and Texas – in places like Broken Arrow and Flower Mound. In Texas, there were already complaints from concerned parents about how he behaved around young girls. He was even placed on leave and ended up resigning. One parent said he was “grooming” girls – hugging them too much and getting way too close. The district claimed they couldn’t prove anything “inappropriate,” but admitted his classroom management and professionalism were lacking.

Still, somehow he kept getting hired. New state, new school, fresh start… until this week, when he was arrested in the middle of getting a haircut, charged with the brutal stabbing of two parents out hiking with their little girls.

He was about to be in a classroom full of 8-year-olds. Let that sink in a moment

If evil could wear a face, it would look like this:
