A manhunt is underway<\/a> after a seven-month-old baby girl was abandoned in a stranger\u2019s front yard, hours before four of her relatives were discovered murdered in a wooded area in Tennessee<\/a>. <\/p>\n Austin Drummond<\/a>, 28, remains at large after being linked to the quadruple homicide<\/a> in rural Lake County last Tuesday (July 29). <\/p>\n Reports of the abandoned infant in neighboring Dyer County sparked a search for her guardians, leading cops to discover the bodies of the child\u2019s parents, James Matthew Wilson, 21, and Adrianna Williams, 20. Her maternal grandmother, Cortney Rose, 38, and maternal uncle, Braydon Williams, 15, were also found dead, officials said. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Law enforcement officers are still searching for Austin Drummond (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation)<\/p>\n Tanaka Brown and Giovonte Thomas, both 29, were charged over the weekend<\/a> with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder<\/a>, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. A third \u201cassociate,\u201d Dearrah Sanders, was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree on Monday, the bureau announced. <\/p>\n As officials continue their search for Drummond, here\u2019s what we know about the case: <\/p>\n The crime<\/p>\n Deputies from the Dyer County Sheriff\u2019s Office responded to reports at about 3.10 p.m. last Tuesday that a dark-colored minivan had dropped off the child in a car seat at a \u201crandom individual\u2019s front yard\u201d in the unincorporated community of Tigrett. <\/p>\n It set off a scramble to find the baby\u2019s caregivers, Stephen Sutton, a spokesperson for the sheriff\u2019s offices in Lake and Dyer counties, said at a news conference Friday. <\/p>\n Just before 10.30 p.m., Rose and Williams were reported missing, according to audio of a 911 call obtained by NBC affiliate WMC-TV.<\/p>\n The bodies of Wilson, Rose and the two Williamses were found nearly 40 miles away later that evening in a wooded area along Carrington Road in Tiptonville, authorities said. <\/p>\n The baby is \u201csafe and being cared for,\u201d Sutton said. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Two men have been charged in connection with the murders of four people in Tennessee that saw an infant abandoned on a stranger\u2019s front lawn (Dyer County Sheriff’s Office)<\/p>\n Drummond is wanted for first-degree murder, kidnapping, and unlawful firearm possession in connection with the murders of the four victims. <\/p>\n Authorities have not revealed how the four people died, but have ruled their deaths homicides. It was not immediately clear what led authorities to name Drummond as a suspect. <\/p>\n Documents filed by the U.S. Marshals Service on Friday (August 1) speculated that Drummond may have fled the state, after he was last seen two days earlier. Officials said he is considered armed and dangerous. <\/p>\n Footage shared by the City of Jackson Police Department on Monday showed Drummond at a home near the area of Pipkin Road, Jackson, on Sunday evening, wearing matching camouflage pants and a shirt, and carrying a rifle. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Drummond was last seen on surveillance footage in the area of Pipkin Road, Jackson, on Sunday evening carrying a rifle, police say (City of Jackson Police Department\/Facebook)<\/p>\n On Monday, investigators searched a wooded area near Union University in Jackson. Less than a mile down the road, Jackson Christian School was on lockdown, a receptionist told CNN. <\/p>\n The FBI and a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force are among the nearly dozen agencies working on the case. <\/p>\n A combined reward from the TBI and U.S. Marshals Service reached $32,500. <\/p>\n A white 2016 Audi A3, believed to be driven by Drummond, was found unoccupied in Jackson and has since been recovered by authorities, the bureau said on Friday. A white 1988 Ford pickup truck with a red stripe believed to belong to Drummond was found in Dyer County on Saturday. <\/p>\n Rausch revealed that there is a \u201cfamilial relationship between the suspect and the family.\u201d <\/p>\n![\"Law](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Abandoned-Infant-Four-Dead-fdkov5z0.jpeg\")
