The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested a third person in the hunt for quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond.
Dearrah Sanders, 23, is facing charges as an accessory after the fact to first degree murder, according to a Monday announcement from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). Her arrest follows those of Tanaka Brown, 29, and Giovontie Thomas, 29, who face similar charges. Additionally, Thomas has been charged with tampering with evidence.
Authorities are searching for Drummond, 28, who is wanted for charges including murder and kidnapping following the deaths of four individuals: 15-year-old Braydon Williams, 21-year-old James Matthew Wilson, 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, and 38-year-old Cortney Rose. The victims were discovered last Tuesday on Carrington Road in Tiptonville. Earlier on the same day, a 7-month-old, the daughter of Wilson and Adrianna Williams, was found abandoned in a car seat in a stranger’s front yard in Dyer County.
All the victims were related to the baby. Rose was the mother of Braydon and Adrianna Williams.
Drummond has not yet been apprehended and is considered “armed and dangerous.” His charges include four counts of first degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping, four counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and one count of possessing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.
Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts is asked to call 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811, or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
A reward for information leading to Drummond’s arrest and conviction has increased to $30,000. This comes after Tennessee Governor Bill Lee contributed an additional $10,000 to the previously existing $20,000 reward fund, according to the TBI.
