JACKSON, Tenn. – A 23-year-old woman from Tennessee has been accused of aiding a man wanted for the murder of the parents, grandmother, and uncle of a baby found safe, far from the crime location.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reported that Dearrah Sanders from Jackson, Tennessee, was detained on Monday, facing charges as an accessory following the murders. Over the weekend, two men were similarly charged, accused of assisting 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond after the killings on July 29. Drummond was still at large as of Monday afternoon, according to a TBI statement.

Authorities have not disclosed many details, such as how the trio allegedly assisted Drummond, the method of the killings, or how the infant ended up in a car seat in the Tigrett area, which is approximately 40 miles (64.37 kilometers) away from where the bodies were found.

Recently, officials located a car in Jackson that Drummond is believed to have used. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch suggested the murders were intentional and that Drummond had personal ties with the victims. The baby is currently unharmed and in care.

Drummond faces charges including four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping, and multiple weapons offenses. His past includes a prison sentence for a convenience store robbery and threats to jurors, as well as an attempted murder charge while incarcerated.

The victims have been identified as James M. Wilson, 21, and 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, the infant’s parents; 15-year-old Braydon Williams and 38-year-old Cortney Rose, who were Adrianna and Braydon’s mother and uncle, respectively.
