Tiptonville, TN (WOKI) A manhunt is now underway for a suspected quadruple murderer wanted out of Lake County in Northwest Tennessee.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has obtained warrants for 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond charging him with four counts of First Degree Murder and one count of Aggravated Kidnapping among other charges.
The warrants come after the discovery of four bodies overnight Tuesday in Tiptonville. TBI officials later confirming the bodies were family, including her mother and father, to a baby girl abandoned Tuesday afternoon in Dyer County.
“At this time, Drummond remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous,” the TBI said. “Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts is asked to call 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811, or 1-800-TBI-FIND.”
According to Danny Goodman, Dyer and Lake County District Attorney, this act was not random, and the community is not in danger.
“This is a deeply saddening day for our community,” said Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box. “We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.”
Deputies were called to a home in Dyer County, where a seven-month-old girl in a car seat was abandoned in a stranger’s yard on Tuesday afternoon.
