Hunt for murder suspect who dropped off baby after four relatives found dead
A car has been found in the search for a man suspected of murder who abandoned a baby girl after murdering four of her relatives. Austin Robert Drummond, 28, remains on the run after being wanted for the murder of James M Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15 in Tennessee, US. After killing the family members, officers say Drummond dropped off the seven-month-old girl and, in an act of 'compassion', indicated her presence to nearby people. The baby is now being cared for and looked after, authorities confirmed. Adrianna and Braydon Williams were the children of Ms Rose. Police have now discovered a car driven by Drummond in Jackson, 70 miles from where the family's bodies were found and 40 miles away from where the baby was left. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said he believed Drummond had targeted the family, with whom he had a relationship. He described Drummond's choice to abandon the baby while alerting members of the public as an 'act of compassion'. More Trending 'While this was an extremely tragic and violent event… there was a sign of compassion, if you will', he said. A family member of one of the victims wrote online that they had 'trusted' Drummond, who had been 'nothing short of amazing to us and our kids', Sky News reported. A $15,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Drummond, who is wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping, and weapons offences. He had a previous conviction in 2014 for aggravated robbery, for which he served prison, where he was further charged with criminal offences, including attempted murder.
