New information uncovered by 7 Eyewitness News about Adam Mayes and his history with the Bain family paints an even more disturbing picture of the man wanted for murder and kidnapping. A report by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department dated February 23, 2010 gives insight into how some say Mayes interacted with Kyliyah Bain, one of the two young girls he is accused of kidnapping after killing their older sister and mother almost two weeks ago. Madison County deputies investigated Adam Mayes, 35, of Guntown, Miss., when he and his wife Teresa lived in a now abandoned home in the 3300-block of Riverside Drive. In that report, deputies investigated a family member’s claim that she walked into the bathroom and found Adam Mayes and then-7-year-old Kyliyah naked. He was shaving her legs. The family member also claimed Mayes kept a stash of child pornography in his bedroom. After an extensive two-month investigation by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Postal Service, State Department of Child Services and an interview with Kyliyah, Mayes was cleared. The February 2010 report also shows just how often Adam Mayes saw the Bain sisters. Teresa told investigators they young girls stayed with them once or twice a month, a claim back up by neighbors. “They seemed to love him,” said a next door neighbor who asked not to be identified by name. “He’d bring them up on the weekends and in the summer when school was out.” There are two other reports on filed at the Madison County Sheriff’s Department involving Adam and Teresa Mayes. In March of 2009, deputies were called out after a fight between the two. Teresa told investigators it was over their niece. Five months later, deputies came to the house after Adam says Teresa threatened suicide. Both are currently charged with first degree murder in the deaths of Joann and Adrienne, 14, and especially aggravated kidnapping in the abductions of Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8.
