Suspect's wife, mother charged in slaying of Tennessee mom, daughter

fbi.gov

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.

Police have arrested the wife and mother of Adam Mayes, the man suspected of killing a Tennessee woman and her oldest daughter and kidnapping the woman's two youngest daughters, authorities said Tuesday.

NBC station WMC-TV in Memphis reported that Adam Mayes' wife, Teresa Mayes, is charged with four counts of aggravated kidnapping and his mother, Mary Francis Mayes, is charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping. They were arraigned Tuesday morning, WMC reported.

This undated photo provided by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety shows Adam Mayes.

In a police affidavit, Teresa Mayes admits that she was involved in taking the Bain family from Hardeman County by driving them to Union County, Miss., WMC said.

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

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

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation referred to Teresa Mayes as Adam Mayes' ex-wife.

Teresa Mayes' sister, Bobbi Booth, earlier told WMC that Adam Mayes and his wife lived with his parents in Alpine, Miss. Booth said her sister told her she knew about the killings, but Booth thought Teresa Mayes may have been too scared to call the police. 

The bodies of Jo Ann Bain and 14-year-old Adrienne Bain were found behind a house in northern Mississippi late last week.

The FBI said it believed the other daughters — 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah — were still with Mayes.

Word of the arrest came as the search for Mayes, 35, continued.

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.

What a despicable bunch of sub-human crap. How could a mother and wife subject any one else to this horrible crime? They are truly heartless and they deserve what ever is in store for them once the law catches up with them. I hope those two little girls are still alive, but they will be scarred forever. RIP to the mother and daughter.

Who the phuck cares about the last part of your statement, when you look at the photos of those innocent little girls and their mother and see all the innocence and promises that are lost and potentially will be lost.

Really nice people, quiet and now this insanity. How the freak do you decide to help kidnap a mother and three daughters? How do you decide to just allow someone to kill a mother and daughter and DO NOTHING? HOW DO YOU DECIDE TO END THE WORLD FOR A WHOLE FAMILY, A TOWN, as well as your own worthless lives? This wife and mother deserve as much time as this SCUM bag gets when they finally catch him...use them to plug the next BP oil spill.

I smell money here. I'd be looking at the hubby as a possibility. He supposedly hired this man to help move his family. Could be the husband actually paid this man to kidnap and kill his family. That could explain why the kidnapper's mother and wife were involved. If the husband was moving, he might have wanted a clean start with no baggage from his old life.

          steelerfanfl - Although I am a steeler fan and from Florida too, why do so many people wish to have the maniacs in prisons rape, sodomize and kill people? I certainly don't wish the best for them, I am frankly more concerned about the mentality of those that are so vengeful to wish such horrible things on others to make themselves feel better that justice is served.

          I don't want to pay for them to live in jail for the rest of their lives, but I also don't think you can rehabilitate these special kind of freaks. A quick bullet to the head when found guilty through due process. No 10 -20 year appeals process, no need to make them suffer or be punished for their crimes, just get them off the earth before they do any more harm. I don't care if they suffer slowly in a wood chipper or die instantly, just get it over with and turn them into worm food.

Just from the photograph of this man, inbreeding appears to be alive and well in some of our southernmost states. I hope now that one of them actually does something right and noble and the other two girls are found before it's too late.

                  So sick and twisted. People need to be more aware that bad things can and do happen, and be ready to act if such a time ever arises in your life. If this woman was truly just too scared to call police, she is going to live the rest of her life regretting her non-action. In a life-threatening situation, being able to act decisively will often make the difference. You dont need to be 100% composed, you dont need to be GI Joe, just be able to do the right thing despite the fear!!!!!

                            I am going to make yes a stereotypical guess by the looks of these people and say these poor children are part of a meth mess ...

                            I vote Meth will be at the bottom.. It is the only drug I have seen affect a whole family unit like that.

                            Husband, wife , mother.. Family friends.. ETC

                            BTW what is the husband saying?

                            My guess is that there was an affair going on maybe for a long time (DNA should be done on the children) and her getting ready to leave for Vegas set the whole plan in motion?? Notice how the two missing children do not look like the oldest daughter who was murdered ?? just a guess

                            I think what really happened was that the guy used a form of submission( Gun) to lure them into a car, then when the Mom and daughter( both capable of fighting back) tried to stop( he pulled the trigger on both) leaving the two children, which he then took away, out of panic. The 2 other people involved are also in on it, they witnessed what he had done, and knew that they had to keep quiet( possible culture) to save his ass. Now they are in trouble. He's probably hiding in one of the few places he considers "safe". He's from the south so I guess police should ask Neighbors where he would go on a road trip. (or even father who has had a relationship with him.) Also, he's probably either jacked a car or using a friends/family members car to reach his destination.( also check near by sheds).

                            Good luck finding him, and make sure he gets enough pain to suffer greatly please.

                            RWV, okay, I can go with some of that, though the whole meth thing might also play a part. Still, an entire family wold have to collectively have the IQ of an animal cracker to think no one would notice a missing mother and 14-year-old ... or that the two younger girls wouldn't talk to the first stranger or convenience store clerk they came in contact with.

                            Mom and Oldest had more ability to fight back... but I'm thinking RWV is onto something...would make sense as to why wife helped him kidnap them. Wife probably found out about two younger girls and affair, he probably manipulated wifey (because she's obviously missing a few brain cells), and said if she helped him, he'd still love her.

                            Simply an awful crime.

Does the fact that those states are populated with more African Americans have anything to do with it? Or Maybe Meth hits harder there because it is closer to Mexico.

Other than that, if you're talking about "plantations" that EMPLOY people (for whatever rate the employees and the employer agreed upon), then that's not slavery. Again, your "education" has failed you.

                                    Littlechanges: Yeah, because no blue states get way more federal money than they put in? In fact, according to taxfoundation(.)org/press/show/22659(.)html, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Idaho, Vermont, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Indiana, and Nevada (all states who voted democratic in 2008) received more than they put in.

If you're talking about the source I provided, at least I had a source to back myself up, unlike these people, just making things up and stating straight out lies. What you do as an individual does not make a difference at state level statistics. There are many people in EVERY state who do just as you described, myself included.

                                                True enough. 0bamas father didn't fund THE Nazi regime, he was the sperm donor for 0bama, who IS a despot and the New Nazi regime.

Way to not fall into the "all about me" philosophy of some (including the perps in the Bain kidnappings and murders) People do still make me proud of their humanity every once in awhile.

                                                Once again the media uses the term kill or killing where they should have used murder, murders, murdered or murdering. These victims were murdered. They were not just killed. You can kill without being a murderer. These victims were MURDERED!

                                                To murder is illegal where to kill isn't necessarily. You can kill without being a murderer, but, you can't murder without killing.

                                                This murder will be caught and there will be idiots out there who say he shouldn't be executed. They will try and quote the Bible by saying "Thou shalt not kill" which is a misquote. The original wording was " Thou shalt not "Murder"! They will want him to live so he can have the opportunity to possibly "MURDER" or injure some one else again.

                                                God told you not to kill period, no exceptions, so what's your point?

                                                Actually, according to the Bible, thou shalt not kill means just that, whether it be murder or state sanctioned execution. The only people who try to argue otherwise are the kind of people who look to the Bible for justification of what they already believe to be true whether it is or isn't and spend more time trying to weasel out of God's commandments than they do trying to follow them. Such dishonesty is at the very core of the spirit of the anti-christ and by trying to promote such dishonesty, you are in fact a tool of satan, not God.

                                                "Thou shalt not kill" was part of the ten commandments which were part of the Mosaic law, which was done away with when Jesus came to earth. The governements are in place because of Jehovah allowing them to be and if they deem it right to execute murderers to keep the rest of the citizens safe, then that's allowed by God, is it not?

                                                DeeryMay - Mainstream Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians would all disagree with you that Jesus threw out the Ten Commandments. Most Christians believe that Jesus only did away with the 613 mitzvot.

                                                The governements are in place because of Jehovah allowing them to be

                                                Nothing (including sin) exists without God allowing it to be, hollow statement, no point.

                                                if they deem it right to execute murderers to keep the rest of the citizens safe

                                                Modern nation-states have the ability to securely detain people who are threats to society, thereby negating the need for state-sanctioned execution.

                                                      Good post. I still wonder what brought this on. Perhaps it had something to do with the family moving to Vegas. Someone in an earlier post thought that maybe the two younger children belong to the perp. This is one evil man and I hope he is brought to justice quickly. If the children are his then perhaps he won't harm them. I know the court will throw the book at him so I am not concerned about that-just the safety of those poor little girls.

                                                      The bible says that you shall not murder. It does not say that you should not kill. There are many battles in the bible where God approves the killing of the enemy and indeed even commands that a murderer be stoned to death. Those of you that disagree need to read your bibles. LOL!

                                                        Exodus 20: 13: "You shall not kill"

                                                        The original Hebrew verb (רצח) in this sentence is also used at times in the Old Testament to refer to unintentional acts of killing and legally sanctioned killing.
