More Arrests of People Linked to Bizarre Abduction, Murder Case
Four neighbors of a man who authorities say abducted a Tennessee family and killed the mother and one daughter were arrested in connection with the case, authorities said on Friday, one day after the man committed suicide as police closed in.
Adam Mayes, briefly the most-wanted fugitive in America, shot himself in the head on Thursday as police approached a spot in thick Mississippi woods where he was hiding with the remaining two daughters from the abducted Bain family of Tennessee.
Police found 12-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-year-old Kyliyah Bain alive and unharmed on the ground nearby.
The girls were “hungry, thirsty and dehydrated” and suffering from exposure and poison ivy, said Aaron T. Ford, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Memphis division.
“They look like they’ve been in the woods for three days,” Ford said.
