The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested three individuals in connection to the homicides of four people.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced that Dearrah Sanders, 23, Tanaka Brown, 29, and Giovonte Thomas, 29, have been arrested. They have each been charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder related to the killings of James M. Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15. Additionally, Brown has been charged with tampering with evidence, according to an updated statement from the TBI.

Authorities suspect Sanders, Brown, and Thomas assisted Austin Robert Drummond, who is wanted for four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, and felon in possession of a firearm. Drummond is considered armed and dangerous, according to law enforcement.

Dyer County Sheriff’s Officers found the four bodies in the woods near Tiptonville, Tennessee, on the night of July 29. The causes of death have yet to be revealed to the public.

Suspect had “familial relationship” with quadruple homicide victims

Earlier on July 29, an infant was found abandoned in a yard in Tigrett, a nearby community, as confirmed by the Dyer County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook. Initially, authorities intended to question Cortney Rose, the maternal grandmother of the child, Matthew Wilson, the child’s father, and Adrianna Williams, the baby’s mother, before discovering the bodies in Tiptonville.

It’s since been confirmed that the child’s parents and grandmother, as well as the uncle Braydon Williams, are among the deceased.

“This tragic event deeply affects our community. We are dedicated to finding the truth and ensuring justice is achieved,” stated Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s director, David B. Rausch, mentioned that Drummond has a family connection to the victims but did not provide further information, as reported by NBC News.

Reward money offered for information

The TBI and U.S. Marshals Office are now offering a combined reward of up to $17,500 for information leading to Drummond’s arrest.

The Jackson Police Department said in an August 1 statement that Drummond’s vehicle was found abandoned at the end of MCO Road. Drummond is believed to have been “living in the vehicle and may be in the area,” the police department added.

“JPD asks all people within the immediate area of this alert, to lock their doors and stay indoors as we actively search for Drummond,” the alert reads. “Remember, he is considered armed and extremely dangerous. If you see him, call 911 immediately.”

Anyone with information that may help in the investigation is urged to call 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811, or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
