Whiteville, Tn - Hardeman County deputies are searching for a mother and her three daughters after they disappeared Friday. No one's seen or heard from them since.

Her husband says they've been married 11 years and hopes the TBI will find answers.

New thread:

Update: The two girls have been found safe and AM took his own life with a gunshot to the head
 
Thank ya jesusss!! I personally did NOT expect the girls to be found alive.
 
I don't feel bad that AM is dead for a number of reasons but mainly bc hopefully the girls will sleep more soundly knowing this monster is dead. They won't have to face him at trial and relive this nightmare. They have a tough road ahead and hopefully his death will make it a little easier.

Le Bonheur Children's Hospital security use white bed sheets to shield Alexandra Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8, who were transported to Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, May 10, 2012, after their alleged kidnapper, Adam Mayes, shot himself in the head while being surrounded by police near New Albany, Miss. / Mark Weber / The Commercial Appeal / AP

This picture is so heartwrenching! I hope these girls continue to be shielded.
 
I have been following this thread from the beginning and even started the original thread in the "Missing Information and Support" forum here at WS. I am soooo happy for this fantastic outcome to the case, here at WS we see so many that end badly. I have been crying tears of joy since hearing this on local news last night. I have to admit when Adam Mayes was added to the FBI Top Ten, I went and looked at the other 9 and boy was that depressing. The most current case was from 2008, which did not give me much hope of them being found quickly if at all. Today I am so proud of LE in Mississippi as well as all of the FEDs who helped with this case! They did an amazing thing by not only locating the criminal but getting the girls out safely.

I know many on here are saying they wish Mayes had lived to tell of his crimes and receive punishment. However I disagree, we all know that punishment on this earth is not always fair or proper. Too many times our justice system, as great as it is, gets things wrong and punishment either is too minor or does not occur at all. In this case, I am certain that Adam Mayes is receiving his just rewards in the afterlife and that it is far worse than anything he would have received here on earth.

Also it is my greatest hope right now that mama Mayes and wife Mayes will receive their punishment to the fullest extent of the law, their part in this is in no way diminished by the death of Mayes or even by the safe return of the girls. They need to fully pay for their crimes and in this case I have zero sympathy for either of them.

My prayers going out to these precious girls that they will have the much needed love, support and counseling to put their little lives back together.

 
I am impressed by the security guy on the far left of that picture, he held the sheet high enough to shield his own eyes from staring at the girls......

Has LE formally come out to the media to state how JB and AB were murdered?

I have read what the cousin stated to the media, but I am looking for something more concrete from LE. TIA
 
Soyesterday,
Thank you for your opinions! You are still healing. Everyone here should be learning from your pain! (hugs)

Now, every child loves their parents no matter the amount of abuse and neglect. Children dont know any different, they have no choice. Attempts are always made to keep the children in the home if possible.
Get these girls out of there! The whole family is dysfunctional and creepy. GB is creepy and down the line...I think Jb was trying to escape this whole mess a freaks and I suspect the older daughter was trying to confront her mother and their life with the truth that there was something very wrong with AM and those people.
I can not for the life of me imagine letting my kids around any of these players, ever!!!
I cant feel sorry for anyone here. I cant explain their dysfunction away. I cant forgive and forget. There are red flags everywhere and these relationships have been going on for decades.
I pray, hope and believe that an entire community and nation will demand that these girls will only be surrounded by love, support, and nurturing.

I saw this video this morning and welled up. Nothing like big tough LE types being tender and respectful of two girls who have been horribly traumatized and who knows what else by a monster to make me cry. God bless them.

You're right. Kodo's for him!
 
I think AM was heading to Mexico, after them finding him in Alpine, he was on the way down on backroads to get there. Thankfully he did not make it far. I praise the FBI and LE for hard and fast pressure on AM, that he did not make it out of the state.
 
They moved to Whiteville, TN from Arizona in January 09, as she wrote this in July 09, she said she was in full time college to become an Elementary School teacher.

She did homeschool the three girls.

She said her and Gary had a son and daughter,(Gary's), who were grown and moved away from home, and they had three daughters at home.

They were raising chickens and hatching from eggs,and had goats, dogs, and other animals.

GB was a master auto tech for a dealership.

She didn't like TN, she said it was like a rain forest, so humid. Her and Gary liked Arizona. She said she's regretted moving from Arizona everyday since she left. She hoped to move back to soon, that was in 09.
 
A reporter on ActionNews5 last night stated that it is about 5 or 6 miles from where the trailer/garage is located and the church. AM was on the run with the girls for 2 weeks, and basically went nowhere.

I noticed the same thing when I looked at that photo. Good for him. I'd probably peek! :eek:

Do you have a link for this information? TIA
 
WOW - been following this case and I am shocked and elated the girls are both alive. Best possible outcome given what has already happened.

I think :please: work sometimes! I needed a dose of restored faith today and boom - woke up to it!

I don't blame Joann for not liking Tennessee, I can't stand living in Alabama and it is like living in a humid rainforest, besides all the tornadoes. I feel sadder as we get to know Joann, she and I would have had a lot in common and she seemed like a real sweet woman and good mom. I feel so sad for the girls, they are going to be so lost without their mom and big sister.
 
GrainneDhu, you asked in the last thread:

Are you saying that you believe one or more agencies alerted AM to the investigation before deputies visited the home? If so, that would have been highly unethical. I'm not a lawyer but I believe that would also have been illegal.

If he hadn't been alerted, then how did he pass the 30 day mail check?

I am not saying that at all, GrainneDhu! I'm sorry if my wording made it seem that I think that the Madison County (Miss.) Sheriff's Office behaved unprofessionally or illegally in investigating the 2010 allegation. Quite the opposite! I think they did a very thorough investigation!

I am saying that AM knew or surmised that he was under investigation, in my opinion. The person who was concerned enough to report it to the Tennessee DCS likely had an immediate reaction and a WTH?? discussion. The witness may have told AM that it was going to be reported or AM may have surmised that from the witness's reaction. Madison County received the referral from Tenn. on Feb 23. Either way, he was on notice. AM had ample time to move or get rid of any stash of child *advertiser censored* between the incident and March 3, when deputies visited his house and TM allowed them to walk through.

As for the mail check, AM moved around a lot and was often away from home (visiting Tenn.). I'd be surprised if he subscribed to anything!

The mail check and the enticement effort were both after the deputies visited the house. In my opinion, TM would have told AM they'd been to the house and why. So AM may not have taken the bait then, even if he might have at another time. Again, that's just MOO. It has not been established that he was interested in child *advertiser censored*.

BTW, the timing of the incident and when AM said he kicked his sister out seem to mesh.
