Before he was accused of a brutal double murder at Devil’s Den, James Andrew McGann was a teacher—and his alleged behavior in the classroom has left many former students and parents deeply disturbed. In this episode, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski is joined by former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to unpack what we now know about McGann’s troubling track record in schools across multiple states.

Why did McGann bounce from district to district? Why were serious concerns about his interactions with students never formally reported to law enforcement? As Coffindaffer points out, what we’re seeing isn’t just a failure of one individual, but a disturbing example of “passing the trash”—a loophole in school policy that lets potentially dangerous educators resign quietly rather than face consequences. Now, that silence may have cost lives.

This conversation isn’t just about what went wrong with McGann—it’s about a system that enabled him. We break down how mandatory reporting failed, why schools often prioritize liability over transparency, and what this case tells us about the broader crisis in educational oversight. If you've ever wondered how someone like McGann can end up teaching children right before allegedly committing murder—this episode will leave you rattled.
