Missing Tennessee Family: Police Say Mother and Girls Are in 'Extreme Danger'

Source: ABC News

Investigators searching for the missing Bain family, who vanished 10 days ago after leaving their Tennessee home, say that the mother and three children are in "extreme danger" after the discovery of two bodies in a Mississippi home where the main suspect in their disappearance was last seen.

Police who have teamed with the FBI in the investigation say that they believe 35-year-old Adam Mayes of Guntown, Miss., who appears to be a friend of 31-year-old Jo Ann Bain's family, is on the run after having kidnapped Bain and her three daughters. Investigators believe that Bain and her girls, Adrienne, 14, Alexandria, 12, and 8-year-old Kyliyah have been disguised by Mayes.

"We do have information that he has altered the appearances of everybody including himself, primarily from cutting their hair," FBA spokesman Joel Siskovic said. "The girls may have far shorter hair than the pictures out there."

FBI agents and local sheriff's deputies continued the search by helicopter last Sunday while chasing down leads on land, desperate to find the family that was last seen April 27 leaving their home in Whiteville, Tenn., which is located between Jackson and Memphis.

We're supposed to keep our eyes open and be on the lookout, but not for 4 females. Possibly 2 girls and that one creepy guy.
They don't disclose which two were found killed, but it sounds like the mother has already been found dead, and one daughter.

Wonder why they won't say which two were discovered? If there is still one missing, she could possibly be alive. No?
