Two bodies were found today in Mississippi in the search for a missing Tennessee mother and her three daughters, which investigators said led them to issue an Amber Alert for the missing family.
When they announced the Ambert Alert, Mississippi police said only that new details led them believe Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her three daughters, Adrienne, 14; Alexandria, 12; and Kyliyah, 8; were abducted and could be in extreme danger.
An FBI spokesman said this evening that the two bodies had been found, but said they had not yet been identified.
“The Medical Examiner is taking steps to identify those bodies,” said Joel Siskovic, spokesman for the FBI in Memphis. “Our focus is on finding the suspect in returning the children and their mother.”
The Tenessee family was last seen on April 27 leaving their home in Whiteville, which is located between Jackson and Memphis.
Police said they had reason to believe the missing mother and her three daughters were with Adam Christopher Mayes, 35, of Guntown, Miss.
“Early days of the investigation led us to suspect Adam Mayes,” Siskovic said. “Other information led to a location in Mississippi where we executed federal search warrants. During the course of searching that location, two bodies were found.”
The two bodies were found in Guntown at a residence where Mayes was last seen, he said.
