JACKSON – Earlier this month, Mississippi authorities were trying to determine what to do with the body of a man who abducted two young Tennessee girls after he allegedly killed their mother and oldest sister.
Police believe Adam Mayes killed Jo Ann Bain, and her 14-year-old daughter, Adrienne Bain, in their home in Whiteville, Tenn., on April 27. Bain’s two younger daughters were safely recovered after Mayes shot himself in the head when police tracked him down in the woods in Union County on May 10.
Mayes’ wife and mother remain in jail in Hardeman County, Tenn., on charges related to the kidnapping and murders.
Mark Golding, the medical examiner for Union County, said Mayes’ family refused to accept the remains which were located at the morgue in the state crime lab in Jackson.
Officials reached agreement, however, on June 6 to deliver Mayes to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for one of their departments.
Golding will personally retrieve the body and take it to Knoxville.
