A manhunt is underway in Tennessee after law enforcement named a suspect in the murder of four people connected to a baby abandoned on someone’s front lawn.
The Dyer County Police Department said Thursday that 29-year-old Austin Robert Drummond killed James M. Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15. The four were found in Tiptonville, Tennessee, Tuesday.
