This is the facebook for the father of the two older girls, Mark Johnson,

https://www.facebook.com/mark.johnson.35...nson.35380

I'm confused about who the fathers are. Is the youngest the daughter of Bain? Mark Johnson is Jo Ann's ex-husband?

My God, Mayes wife and mother are in jail and he's gone with the other two girls (maybe, if they aren't dead). WTF is going on?

It's also not clear to me if Mr Bain moved to AZ with Jo Ann and the kids or he lives in TN. In fact, some articles say 'they' were about to move to AZ and others say they already had and returned a funeral.

If Mayes has AZ and TX connections, I'll bet he fled toward Mexico.

Jo Ann Bain and her daughters, Adrienne, 14, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8, are believed to have been abducted by a family friend, Adam Mayes. Police believe the two younger girls are still with Mayes.



A Tennesse medical examiner identified two bodies Monday as those of Jo Ann Bain and her eldest daughter, Adrienne, 14, who are believed to have been abducted from their home in Whiteville, Tenn. on April 27.

Two other girls - Alexandria Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8 - are believed to be with the man police have identified as the kidnapper, family friend Adam Mayes.



The bodies of Jo Ann and Adrienne were found Saturday behind Mayes' home near Guntown, Miss.

Adam Mayes, considered "armed and extremely dangerous," is wanted in connection with the disappearance of Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters, who were abducted in Tennessee and last seen in Mississippi.

Earlier Monday, state troopers stopped vehicles at roadblocks and officers searched the yard of a home in northern Mississippi, as they looked for the remaining girls and Mayes, 35.

Officers also searched the yard of a home near Guntown that's been linked to Mayes. He was last seen a week ago in Guntown.

Kidnapping warrants have been issued for Mayes. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said Saturday it believed "the children may be in extreme danger."

Before they disappeared, the Bains had been preparing to move to Arizona.

The mother's Facebook page shows that in the days before the four disappeared she was packing and working on homework.

Her last post, dated April 26, said "a good venting always makes you feel better." It didn't say why she was venting.

A web of ties connects Mayes to Bain and her family. They were all known around Whiteville, a town of about 4,500 people 60 miles east of Memphis.

Mayes was a longtime friend of Bain's husband, Gary, and had been at their home the evening before they disappeared, police said.

Both Gary Bain and Mayes were once married to sisters, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said.

Mayes had stayed over at the Bains' house to help the family pack and load up a U-Haul to drive across the country to Arizona, Helm said.

Gary Bain, who was at the house that night, awoke to find his wife, daughters and Mayes gone. He couldn't reach his wife on her cell phone that day, and reported them missing when the girls didn't get off the school bus.

While authorities say Mayes is likely to be armed and extremely dangerous, acquaintances describe him as friendly, helpful and like an uncle to the girls.

Gerald Long, 60, of Jackson, Tenn., said he last saw Mayes about two years ago. He said Mayes lived across the street from him for about a year with his wife, Teresa. He described Mayes as a "sociable person."

He was helpful, Long said. "He didn't seem violent or anything."

As for his relationship with his wife, Long said "they were always up and down about things." Long would not elaborate.

The neighbor said he thought Mayes and his wife were no longer together.

Amber alert frustration
Jo Ann Bain's aunt Beverly Goodman, who works at Whiteville City Hally, said that her niece was not the type of woman to run off with someone.

She expressed frustration that the authorities didn't issue an Amber Alert sooner.

"What would it have hurt to put an Amber Alert out?" Goodman said. "They might have saved a couple of lives."

"Jo Ann and the kids, everyone loves them. We're just hoping to hear that they're safe," said Linda Kirkland, a family friend and cook at the Country Cafe in Whiteville, Tenn., speaking before the bodies were found.

Kirkland said the woman and her daughters were moving to Arizona because two of the girls had asthma.

FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said authorities talked to Mayes early on in the investigation, but he fled when they tried to contact him again.

Authorities had said over the weekend that Mayes could be in Mississippi, but added that he has ties to Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida.

Alexandria Bain has brown hair and hazel eyes and is 5 feet tall and 105 pounds, authorities said. Kyliyah has blond hair and brown eyes and is 4 feet tall and 57 pounds.

Mayes has brown hair and blue eyes and is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds.

Authorities said Mayes may have cut his hair, as well as cut and dyed the girls' hair to disguise their identities.

A reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the apprehension of Mayes and location of the victims has been offered. Contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-824-3463.

i also suspect, but don't know, that the wife and mother of mayes are in jail for obstruction or aiding and abetting. it seems people have been helping the bastard!

[Jezreel]

Gawd he is creepy looking

[Duchess]

Gawd he is creepy looking

When I saw the first photo of him my brain screamed DANGER DANGER

[Duchess]

My laughter in no way implies this is a laughing matter.

[Jezreel]

Oh I completely get what you mean Duchess. He is the type of person I would cross the road to stay away from if I saw him walking towards me, just something about him, just isn't right. I hate to be judgmental (hmm maybe not) but there are just some people who you just look at and think he's a mamas boy, he's a pedo, he looks like a ax murderer, he looks like he would be annoying.... etc etc, I get that vibe from him *ick*

[IMaDick]

CBS reported that they found the bodies of the Mom and one daughter.

I will see if I can find the story again.

[IMaDick]

I see that has already been posted, disregard me making an ass out of myself and reposting yesterdays news.

The last line of that news story is:

Meanwhile, Mayes' landlord, Mary Patterson, who is not related to the suspect, said she is not surprised by all the trouble at all.

But why? Either not good reporting or some editor cut it.

new (altered appearances) NCMEC poster.
i don't see much differences in girls' photos. he could have chopped their hair and dyed it black!
assuming they are even alive. :(
if he does in fact think the youngest girl is his, perhaps she has a chance.
i can't believe he has evaded manhunt for so long. is he out in the woods/a cave??

what evil!
In the police affidavit, it is revealed that Teresa Mayes admits that she was involved in taking the Bain family from Hardeman County by driving them to Union County, Mississippi.

The affidavit also says that Mary Francis Mayes knew about the crimes.

HARDEMAN COUNTY, TN -

(WMC-TV) – As the search continues for Adam Mayes, the man suspected of kidnapping a Tennessee family, his wife and mother sit behind bars.

Mayes' wife, Teresa, and his mother, Mary, are both in the Hardeman County Jail. Teresa is charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping. Mary is charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping.

The two women were arraigned Tuesday morning.

Teresa's sister, Bobbi Booth, lives outside Chattanooga. She had shocking things to say to Action News 5 about what her sister revealed to her about the murders of Jo Ann Bain and her 14-year-old daughter, Adrienne. Their bodies were found in the backyard of a home in Alpine, Mississippi.

Booth said her sister admitted to her that the two were murdered by Mayes.

"She knew he dug the grave. That was my understanding of the conversation with her because I was yelling at her. I'm like 'You what?' You know. What she said, 'I saw him digging a hole,'" Booth told Action News 5.

Adam and Teresa Mayes lived in the Alpine, MS, home with Adam's parents Mary and Johnny Mayes.

On April 27, Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters disappeared. Their car was found in a field not far from their Whiteville home. Her husband, Gary, reported them missing.

Bobbi Booth says that Adam has relatives in Florida and they believe he is coming for a visit. Booth says investigators are now in Florida now looking for Mayes.

Mayes may be using the aliases Christopher Zachery Wylde or Paco Rodrigass. He should be considered armed and very dangerous. Call 1-800-TBI-FIND with any information.

Teresa Mayes' bond is set at $500,000. Mary Mayes' bond is set at $300,000.

Crazy shit. I hope they find the girls alive. This is becoming less and less likely, unfortunately.
