Image by the Arkansas State Police July 29 (UPI) -- The Arkansas State Police released a photo and artist's rendering of the man suspected of murdering two adults at Arkansas' Devil's Den State Park on Saturday afternoon. The suspect is described as a white male with a medium build and short hair who was wearing a dark baseball cap, sunglasses, dark pants and a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, according to the state police. The photo shows the suspect's backside, sandy brown hair and the clothing and gear that he wore during the alleged attack. He had a black backpack and was wearing fingerless gloves and might have been injured while allegedly killing Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, who were killed while walking in the state park with their two young daughters. Neither of the daughters, who are ages 9 and 7, were injured. Witnesses said they saw the man leaving the state park in a black, four-door sedan with a license plate that was hidden by tape and heading toward either State Highway 170 or State Highway 220. The Arkansas State Police are asking anyone who was at Devil's Den State Park on Saturday to check any photos or videos they might have recorded while at the park to see if the suspect might be in one or more of them. The police also are asking people to check GoPro, Security and game camera footage to see if they captured evidence of unusual activity or the suspect's vehicle. If any evidence is found, people should not post it online or otherwise share it and instead preserve the evidence and notify the Arkansas State Police. Anyone with relevant information can report it by calling 501-618-TIPS or submitting a tip online. The Brinks recently had moved to Prairie Grove, Ark., shortly before their visit to the state park, which is located near Fayetteville in Washington County in northwestern Arkansas.

3 men convicted in the theft of ancient Celtic gold coins from a German museum
BERLIN (AP) — Three men were convicted Tuesday in the theft of hundreds of ancient gold coins from a German museum in 2022 and handed prison sentences ranging up to 11 years. A court in the southern city of Ingolstadt convicted the defendants of gang robbery over the museum heist, German news agency dpa reported. A fourth defendant was acquitted of involvement in the museum heist but convicted for other thefts carried out by the group. The suspects from northern Germany were arrested months after a Nov. 22, 2022 break-in at the Celtic and Roman Museum in the Bavarian town of Manching, in which 483 Celtic coins discovered during an 1999 archaeological dig were stolen. The coins dated to around 100 B.C. The coins and a lump of unworked gold were originally discovered during excavations of an ancient settlement in Manching, and authorities have said they are considered the biggest trove of Celtic gold found in the 20th century. Most of the stolen treasure is still missing, but investigators found lumps of gold on one of the suspects when he was arrested that appear to have resulted from part of the treasure being melted down. Investigators have said that cables were cut at a telecommunications hub, knocking out local networks, before the heist, and that the thieves got in and out of the museum in nine minutes during the night without triggering an alarm. The four defendants were accused of a total of 20 break-ins or attempted robberies in Germany and neighboring Austria, starting in 2014. Other cases involved safes or cash machines being broken into. The defendants didn't address the charges during the roughly six-month trial, but their lawyers called for their acquittal. The court sentenced them to prison terms ranging from four years and nine months to 11 years.
