Law enforcement officials are investigating potential links between Andrew Mcan, who is currently charged with a double homicide in Arkansas, and several unsolved cold cases across the country. Mcan was recently arrested for the stabbing deaths of a couple hiking in Devil’s Den State Park, an attack witnessed by the victims' young daughters. Due to striking similarities in geography and methodology, Wisconsin detectives are exploring whether Mcan is the unidentified assailant responsible for the 2020 stabbing of a hiker at Devil’s Lake State Park. Investigators are specifically comparing suspect descriptions, the choice of a knife as a weapon, and Mcan’s history of living in the Midwest. While authorities in Vermont also looked for connections to a separate 2023 trail murder, they have not yet established a definitive link. Experts suggest that Mcan’s lack of a prior criminal record and his professional background as a teacher make these random, brazen attacks particularly unusual and difficult to solve.
