WASHINGTON—The Federal Bureau of
Investigation announced today the addition of Adam Christopher Mayes to its Ten
Most Wanted Fugitives list. Mayes is wanted in connection with the alleged
kidnapping of four female victims from Whiteville, Tennessee on April 27, 2012.
Two of the victims were later found deceased in Mississippi.
On April 27, 2012, Jo Ann Bain, age 31,
and her three children—Kyliyah, age 8; Alexandria, age 12; and Adrienne, age
14—were reported missing by Jo Ann’s husband. Her vehicle was later found
abandoned.
Federal search warrants were executed at
residences in Mississippi on May 4, 2012. During that search, two bodies were
found and later identified as Jo Ann Bain and her eldest daughter, Adrienne.
Kyliyah and Alexandria Bain remain missing and are considered to be in extreme
danger.
State arrest warrants were issued after
Mayes was charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping. Mayes
is also charged federally with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He was
last seen on May 1, 2012 in Guntown, Mississippi and should be considered armed
and dangerous.
Mayes is a 35-year-old white male (date
of birth: September 2, 1976), 6’3” tall, 175 to 235 pounds, with brown hair and
blue eyes. He has connections to Mississippi, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Florida. Information indicates that Mayes may have changed
his and the missing victims’ appearances.
Adam Mayes is the 496th person to be
placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, which was established in
March 1950. Since then, 465 fugitives have been apprehended or located—153 of
them as a result of citizen cooperation.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to
$100,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Adam Christopher
Mayes.
