Action News 5's Janice Broach spoke with Adam Mayes sister in law, Bobbi Booth.
Booth said Mayes' wife, Theresa, is being held in the Hardeman county jail.
We cannot confirm Theresa Mayes is in the jail.
Booth said she knew at some point last week Mayes was in his backyard in Alpine digging a hole.
The sister-in-law also said Mayes dated Jo Ann Bain before she married her current husband, Gary.

Union County Coroner Mark Golding said he has not received any information that he can release.
"They don't want to give (Mayes) any information," Golding said. "The bodies were being autopsied in Memphis, as investigators believe they died in Tennessee rather than in Mississippi."
The bodies that have been found have not been identified.
Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards aimed to reassure area residents.
"We want the public to know that there is certainly need to be aware and cautious, but we don't want anybody to be overly afraid," he said. "They're very well protected (by) the FBI, U.S. Marshal Service, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Mississippi Highway Patrol, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, all surrounding county sheriffs."
Edwards said a $50,000 reward is in place for information leading to Mayes' arrest and conviction. Anyone with such information may call any law enforcement agency, he said.
