<\/p>\n Email Link<\/p>\n \n A third person has been arrested on suspicion of helping a fugitive accused of killing four relatives of a Tennessee baby who was found abandoned alive last week, authorities said Monday<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n \n Meanwhile, authorities were scouring a wooded area near a private university in Jackson, Tennessee, on Monday afternoon as part of the investigation into the suspect in the killings, 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond, a law enforcement source familiar said.\n <\/p>\n \n As for the latest arrest: Dearrah Sanders, 23, was taken into custody Monday on warrants charging her with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, accused of assisting Drummond after the killings of the baby\u2019s relatives, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said. Sanders will be booked into the Lake County Jail, the TBI said, and it is unclear if she has obtained an attorney.\n <\/p>\n \n The same charges were also filed last week <\/a>against Tanaka Brown and Giovonti Thomas, both 29. Brown is also charged with tampering with evidence, according to the TBI. Authorities have not specified precisely what the three are accused of doing to help Drummond.\n <\/p>\n \n Drummond remains on the lam, but authorities investigating the case were searching a wooded area Monday near Union University in Jackson \u2013 the same western Tennessee city where authorities say a vehicle associated with him was found unoccupied last week<\/a>. At the request of police, the university locked exterior doors to all buildings, university spokesperson Tim Ellsworth said Monday afternoon.\n <\/p>\n \n A private school less than a mile from the university \u2013 Jackson Christian School \u2013 was on lockdown Monday afternoon, a receptionist told CNN. Because the school year starts Thursday, teachers, but not students, were at the school, which covers pre-K through grade 12.\n <\/p>\n \n Drummond is sought in connection with the deaths of James M. Wilson, 21; Adrianna Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15, whose bodies were found July 29 in Tiptonville, a town in northwest Tennessee\u2019s Lake County, the TBI said.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n \n The four were found dead hours after the baby daughter of Wilson and Adrianna Williams was found abandoned on the afternoon of July 29 in a car seat in a \u201crandom\u201d front yard near the Dyer County community of Tigrett, nearly a 40-mile drive southeast of Tiptonville, authorities had said<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n
