LAKE COUNTY, Tenn. — A suspect in the deaths of four people whose bodies were found in northwest Tennessee was identified by authorities Thursday.

Special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation say 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond is wanted in the killings.

Drummond is wanted on warrants for four counts of First Degree Murder, one count of Aggravated Kidnapping, four counts of Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and one count of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony.

Drummond may be driving a 2016 Audi A3 with Tennessee tag RI 01896, the Dyer County Sheriff said.

The U.S. Marshals said that up to $7,500 will be rewarded for information leading to his capture.

He is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, authorities say. If you see him, call 911, 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811 or 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Drummond was released from prison last September, according to the state Department of Corrections records. He had been convicted on an aggravated robbery charge.

District Attorney Danny Goodman confirmed that Drummond either was dating or had dated a relative of the victim, Adrianna Williams.

The bodies of James Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38 and Braydon Williams, 15 were found Tuesday along Carrington Road in Tiptonville.

An infant who was related to the victims was also found safe in front of a house in Dyer County.

TBI agents have been focusing their investigation on Carrington Road since Tuesday.

Cody Donaldson, a resident of Tiptonville, said his community is reeling from the discovery of four bodies about a mile down Carrington Road.

Donaldson is relieved to know a suspect Drummond is wanted for the four murders.

“Very, very happy that they have a suspect. Glad they were able to catch on to him quick and hopefully they’ll grab him real quick and get him put away,” Donaldson said.

Donaldson says he’s familiar with Carrington Road and comes here often to enjoy nature.

He said, ” It’s a place where a lot of people come and just hang out.”

He said he’s left wondering why this spot was chosen to commit such a horrific crime and its connection to Drummond.

“And it makes you wonder how does he even know about this location because really only locals know about it,” he said.
