Mother Suspected Of Murder After Body Of 9-Year-Old Melodee Buzzard Found: Crime Alert Recap Saturday 12.27.2025

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/198d9f32-3f16-4102-b5ab-b3c0010bcf5b/transcript

A new trial date set for Tyler McCain, the man charged with killing his wife, Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain.  McCain facing 12 charges and multiple special allegations, including one that he killed his wife to prevent her from testifying against him in court over domestic violence charges.  

The jury trial was supposed to start on Nov. 18, but McCain’s lawyer, Michael Borges, asked for more time given the mounds of documentation provided by the prosecution.  Shasta Superior Court Judge Adam B. Ryan set the trial date was set for March 17, 2026.  

A trial readiness hearing will be held on March 11, to ensure both parties are prepared for the trial. 

As of today, Nikki is still missing and presumed dead. 

Redding Police detective Jeremiah Kessinger said Nikki's sister Chloe Saelee texted with Nikki regularly, and there was always a response until May 19th. Family members talked with Nikki on May 18, but on May 19, she never answered a text from Chloe.

Nikki told Chloe about domestic violence in the relationship and McCain going so far as to point a gun directly at Nikki and threatening to kill her and her family members. 

In court, Detective Maul played an audio recording in court of Nikki McCain describing being assaulted by her husband, Tyler McCain. The recording was done in a hospital emergency room, where Nikki showed up to give the police a statement.

Nikki says, "He pushed me on the ground. And he started hitting me. He was just enraged; he was so angry."

Nikki estimates the attack lasted three hours. 

Tyler McCain has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.

TRIAL DELAY IN THE MURDER OF NIKKI CHENG 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b6459a0b-8c9f-4861-a4b1-b3c0000d4b06/transcript

A new hearing scheduled in Andrew McGann’s double murder trial by a Washington County judge.   McGann, 29, charged  with the July stabbing deaths of Clinton and Cristen Brink.   He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.  Judge Joanna Taylor scheduled a status hearing for January 15, 2026. 

At McGann' last court appearance in November, he appeared in civilian clothes and without visible restraints.  He attorneys have file a number of motions including ones that would exclude the death penalty.  Washington County Prosecuting Attorney Brandon Carter says his office intends to pursue the death penalty.

The former teacher's arrest for the cruel double murder of a mom and dad trying to save their two young daughters from a vicious attack during a family hike on a trail in Arkansas, known as Devil’s Den State Park, ended a five-day manhunt for the alleged predator.

Clinton David Brink, 43, and his wife, Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were hiking with their 7- and 9-year-old daughters through Devil’s Den State Park when a man attacked them on the trail around 2:30 p.m., officials say. The two young girls ran to safety as they heard their mother's screams echoing; currently, both girls are with family members and suffered no physical injuries. The parents are being hailed as heroes for saving their daughters from the vicious fatal attack. 

James Andrew McGann, 28, was arrested in Springdale, Arkansas, around 30 miles from the crime scene at a hair salon. getting his hair cut, possibly shaved. McGann is charged with two counts of capital murder, according to a release from the Arkansas State Police. The motive for the brutal attack that resulted in the deaths of both parents is still unclear.
