Cortney Rider tells KFSN-TV in Fresno (http://abc30.tv/1NqGmJy) that she was at the home Saturday when McCann kicked down the door and attacked his wife, Tierney Cooper McCann, and her mother, Judith Cooper. “And he busted down the door after not being able to catch me”.
Officers went with him to the house, where he picked up some personal effects, “had a short interaction” with someone there and then left, Roberts said.
Clovis police were called to a report of a stabbing early Saturday and found two victims dead in a home.
Police received a tip that McCann got a ride in the Big Sur area over the weekend and was dropped off at a McDonald’s in Seaside, Basgall said.
McCann was tracked to the Central Coast after the moving truck he was allegedly driving was found abandoned in Paso Robles. There were also sightings in Cambria on Monday and near Ragged Point on Tuesday.
McCann is described as a 47-year-old white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 220 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes and is considered unsafe. McCann’s failing marriage and folding business may be what caused him to snap, Rider said.
A huge manhunt came to an end after a homeless man tipped off police that he had seen McCann sleeping rough in Seaside, Monterey County, on the California coast. Our prayers are dedicated to the Cooper Family’.
Writing on Facebook, Sara said: “Thank you all for your kind words”. “He was not happy and I felt that there was some really painful things”.
“He seemed really, really, depressed”. She did not know what country he was from or whether he had an attorney yet to comment on his behalf.

“She was able to walk back to the bedroom and lay with my mum and they both died together”, she said.
