James “Matthew” Wilson, 21, and his girlfriend Adrianna Williams, 20, who are the parents of the baby, were found dead in the woods about two hours north of Memphis, Tennessee, on Tuesday night.

They were found in Tiptonville alongside Adrianna’s mom Cortney Rose, 38, and Matthew’s brother Braydon Williams, 15.

The tragic discovery was made hours after the baby was abandoned in Tigrett, about 40 miles away from where the bodies were found.

Investigators said at the time that the murders seemed targeted and insisted the public wasn’t in danger.

Now, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has accused 29-year-old Austin Robert Drummond of murdering the four family members.

Drummond is from Jackson, and he possibly dated or is dating a relative of Adrianna, Dyer County District Attorney Danny Goodman said.

The suspect committed a robbery in 2014 when he was a teenager, but was tried as an adult and released from prison not long before the crimes.

He’s been described as 5’10”, weighing about 190 pounds with brown hair, blue eyes, and a goatee, but he may have changed his appearance to avoid capture.

Cops believe that he’s driving a 2016 Audi A3 with the Tennessee plate RI 01896.

Investigators warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Drummond has been hit with four first-degree murder charges, a kidnapping charge, and firearm charges.

Cops have asked the public to report any tips or sightings, but warned to never approach him if he’s spotted in public.

After the victims were found, Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box said, “This is a deeply saddening day for our community.

“We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.”

EERIE CASE

Adrianna and her mom were reported missing on Tuesday night at 10:30 pm, according to a chilling 911 call released by the Dyer County Sheriff’s Department.

One family friend, Amy Anderson, has described Adrianna as a dedicated mom who fiercely loved her new baby.

She said that the family is “devastated” but “thankful that the baby was spared.”

“They were really good people, Adrianna was the sweetest person, she loved being a mama,” Anderson told CBS affiliate WREG.

She said that Matthew was a “wonderful daddy” who “loved the baby” and said Cortney loved being a grandmother.

“It’s tragic. It’s tearing everybody apart,” said the mourning friend.

“Everybody don’t know what to think, there’s been rumors here and there, but I just wish everybody would slow down on the rumors and wait until stuff is actually put out there as far as the truth goes so that there’s no more heartache than what already is.”
