Kidnap-slaying suspect now on 10-most wanted list
9 May`12 A Mississippi man charged with kidnapping a Tennessee mother and her three daughters and killing two of them was added Wednesday to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
The announcement came amid an intense manhunt in northeast Mississippi for 35-year-old Adam Mayes and two girls he is accused of abducting. The girls are 12-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-year-old Kyliyah Bain. Federal authorities pleaded for the public's help in finding the sisters. An affidavit filed in court Wednesday said Mayes killed their mother, Jo Ann Bain, and teenage sister, Adrienne, at the family home April 27 so he could take the two younger girls. The bodies of the two killed were found a week later buried at the home outside Guntown where Mayes lived. Murder charges were filed Wednesday against Mayes and his wife.
An affidavit filed in Bolivar, Tenn., says Teresa Mayes of Guntown, Miss., told authorities she was there when her husband killed Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain in a garage at their Whiteville, Tenn., home. Teresa Mayes told officials the motive was to kidnap Bain's two younger daughters, 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah. A call seeking comment from Teresa Mayes' attorney wasn't immediately returned.
The wife was charged a day earlier with especially aggravated kidnapping. She said she drove her husband, the girls and the two bodies from southwest Tennessee to Guntown and saw him dig a hole in the yard. An intense manhunt continues for Adam Mayes and the two girls. The search has been most intense around Guntown, about 90 miles southeast of Memphis where Mayes lived with his wife and parents.
Authorities have said Mayes was a family friend who was staying with the Bains on April 27, the day the mother and children disappeared. Before he fled, he admitted to authorities that he was the last person to see Jo Ann Bain and her daughters before the disappearance, according to an affidavit filed with the court.
