DEVIL'S DEN 'KILLER' SUSPECT 'TICKLING LITTLE GIRLS,' RPT

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Parents of Andrew McGann's students at schools in Oklahoma and Texas say the 28-year-old suspect was a "sick pervert" and his "behavior was unusual." There were girls McGann would "tickle" at Donald Elementary School in Flower Mound, Texas. McGann would invite special girls to have lunch in his classroom while other students ate in the cafeteria. One student says McGann told her "he wished she could be his girlfriend." Parents reported McGann's behavior to Lewisville ISD and Donald Elementary staff. but "everything got swept under the rug." Parents complaints led to McGann being placed on administrative leave before his resignation letter. Parent Lindsay Polyak suggests if McGann had been terminated instead of beingt able o resign, the termination would have been on his record and might have raised some red flags for other teaching jobs. However, since he was allowed to resign, he was hired by at least two other school districts and was getting ready to start the new school year in Arkansas. McGann taught at Sand Springs until May of this year. Former student Shaelynn Brown says the black backpack shown in a picture was the same bag McGann had while he taught at Sand Springs. McGann began teaching in the 2022-2023 school year at Donald Elementary School in the Lewisville, Texas, Independent School District. The next school year, 23-24, he taught at Spring Creek Elementary with the Broken Arrow Public Schools, and then for the last school year, fall 24 to spring 25, he taught 5th grade at Spring Creek Elementary in the Sand Springs school district. For the upcoming school year, he moved schools again, this time to Arkansas, where he was preparing to begin his school year.
