Summary

A major development in the Devil’s Den double homicide case: a composite sketch of the suspect has been released—and the witnesses who saw him say, “That’s him.”
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we reveal the police sketch based on the exclusive eyewitness account shared right here on the show. The couple who passed the man on the trail—just an hour before Clinton and Cristen Brink were murdered—gave a detailed description to a police sketch artist. Now, that image is public. And it could be the breakthrough this case desperately needs.

But that’s not all. We also dive into:

New reminders from police about the suspect’s vehicle: a black four-door sedan, loud exhaust, possibly a Mazda, BMW, or Acura, with a taped-over license plate
The heartbreaking account from the Brinks' daughters, including the mother’s final words: “Run as far and as fast as you can.”
How 911 dispatchers and local witnesses are providing the most vital intel in this case
And a major breakdown in communication: the Arkansas State Police tip line is failing—with callers getting disconnected or ignored four days after the murders.

Brueski doesn’t hold back, calling on authorities to fix the system, fast. As he puts it, “This podcast gave them the people who gave them the sketch. That shouldn’t be our job.”

If you have information or were at Devil’s Den on July 26, authorities still need your help. And if you can’t reach them, you can reach us at truecrimetodaypod.com—we’ll make sure it gets to the right place.
