Quadruple Murder Suspect Austin Robert Drummond Previously Dated Victims Sister

In a shocking turn of events, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has put out an urgent alert regarding Austin Robert Drummond, a suspect in a horrific quadruple murder case that has left a community in mourning. The TBI is offering a substantial reward of $15,000 for information leading to Drummond’s arrest, as he is considered armed and dangerous.

Drummond, 29, is wanted for the tragic deaths of four family members in Lake County, Tennessee, including a baby girl who was found abandoned in a car seat. The investigation began when a concerned citizen discovered the infant, later identified as Weslynne Wilson, and alerted authorities. This discovery led to the heartbreaking revelation of the murders of Weslynne’s father, James M. Wilson, 21; her mother, Adrianna Williams, 20; her grandmother, Cortney Rose, 38; and her uncle, Braydon Williams, 15.

The TBI has described Drummond as Tennessee’s most wanted man, and he was last seen driving a damaged 2016 Audi A3 with Tennessee license plate RI 01896. Authorities warn that he should be approached with extreme caution. Drummond is approximately 5’10" tall, weighs around 190 pounds, has brown hair, blue eyes, and a goatee. His past relationship with one of the victims adds a tragic layer to this already harrowing story.

Family members have expressed their disbelief and sorrow over the situation, with statements indicating that Drummond was once close to the family. Reports suggest that he had a prior relationship with Kaitlyn Speed, Cortney Rose’s sister. While the details of their relationship remain murky, it is clear that the community is grappling with the loss of multiple lives and the circumstances surrounding the case.

Drummond’s criminal history is troubling, dating back to when he was a teenager. He was tried as an adult for armed robbery and kidnapping. His past raises serious questions about his potential for violence, making his capture a priority for law enforcement. The Dyer County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information about Drummond’s whereabouts to come forward, stating, "If you see him, do not approach; instead, call 911 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND."

As the investigation unfolds, the community is left to mourn the loss of the Wilson family. An obituary for James M. Wilson paints a picture of a devoted father who was a guiding light in the lives of those who knew him. Family members are still processing the tragedy and are unsure of when they will be able to hold funerals for their loved ones.

In times like these, the power of prayer and community support becomes even more crucial. Many local churches and organizations are stepping up to offer assistance and comfort to those affected by this tragedy. It’s a reminder of the strength found in faith and unity during the darkest of times.
