Jo Ann (Jodie) Bain and Three Daughters #2 5/11/12

[Sister]

Did I miss the mention of bio dad, step mom and half sisters in the obit for Adrienne?

 

Notice too, that JoAnn was preceded in death by Adrienne. 

Yes..wonder how they know that exactly?

Cookie, sometimes obits are worded this way in cases of deaths which happen at the same time.  It is easier to say the child was the daughter of the late . . . and the child preceded in death.  Obits are not always factual.  I know of people who list relatives (mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, etc.) when there is no blood relation at all.  It is written by the family with the help of the undertaker, in most cases.  I have helped write dozens upon dozens, so this is just my experience.

[Amys Sister]

Either a mistaken obit or they are basing it on Adam Mayes' wife's account of what happened that morning.

IMO Mark Johnson should compassionately back off and let this family heal.  I understand the regret he feels but he made his choice and pressuring Gary Bain is only adding more suffering on this family.

The two living sisters who endured this tragedy will need eachother for many years to come.

Mayes' sister shares family secrets; 'Adam wanted a family'

MEMPHIS, TN -
(WMC-TV) – The sister of Adam Mayes is shedding light into their family history and revealing secrets that expose the devil inside of the man accused of kidnap and murder.

Pamela Bain is Adam Mayes' older sister. She is also Gary Bain's ex-wife. Gary Bain was married to Jo Ann when she was found dead in Adam Mayes' backyard in Alpine, Mississippi.

Pamela is so ashamed of her brother that is scared to show her face, but that did not stop her from sharing a lifetime of family secrets that may have set Mayes' plan into motion.

"I always knew it would be one of my brothers and sisters, to do something like this, would be a sniper or a serial killer because of the dynamic of my family, it's like what you hear on TV. I just didn't know which one it'd be," she told Action News 5's Justin Hansen in an exclusive interview.

It is hard for Pamela Bain to talk about what she says was a lifetime of abuse in the Mayes' household.

"When you internalize secrets and you don't get rid of them, they stick with you and they do internal mental damage to you," she explained.

Pamela is the oldest of six children. Adam Mayes was the youngest and by her account, the head of the household.

 ::snipping2::

"He was in total control of them, they had no will power, no voice and after they pushed us kids away, we could no longer protect our mom and dad," said Pamela. "He was very much a mind manipulator, he would say what he wanted you to do in a way that made you want to do it."

Pamela married Gary Bain 30 years ago. She says her brother, Adam, quickly took to her new husband.

"Adam could deceive you into believing you were his best friend and that you have nothing to fear of him," she explained. "Whenever Gary and I divorced 10 years ago, it's like he became part of Gary, took Gary to be his family and immersed himself in their lives."

Pamela says Mayes coveted what he saw when Gary married Jo Ann and began creating a family with her daughters, Adrienne and Alexandria, as well as fathering Kyliyah.

"Adam was looking, wanted a family and Teresa couldn't have children. That's why he fixated on those two youngest girls," Pamela said.

Teresa Mayes is Adam's wife turned widow. She is in jail on murder and kidnapping charges accused of helping Adam kill Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain, and kidnapping the two younger girls. She is also accused of transporting the family of four to this house in Alpine, Mississippi.

"From what I understand, they were gonna cut off ties to Tennessee period, why I don't know that, but they were gonna cut ties and I think Adam panicked because he didn't want to lose the two little girls he thought was his," Pamela revealed. "He didn't have the right faculties to know right from wrong, he thought that the children were his and he could take them with no repercussions."

Pamela has an adult daughter from a previous marriage who lives with Gary Bain.

She says her daughter told her Adam was mixing cocktails in the Bain home the night before the murders and kidnappings. She believes he drugged Gary in order to carry out his plan the next morning.

"The night it happened, he bought the stuff to make tequila sunrises and he was the only one making the drinks, so he may have drugged Gary so that he could get Jo Ann and the girls out of the house and into the garage," Pamela speculated.


Investigators have not said how Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain died, but Pamela is certain Gary Bain had no suspicions about the man he considered a close friend.

"I don't think Gary knew Adam was gonna do this or else he'd put an end to their relationship," said Pamela. "Me being a mom, it makes me wish my brother had never been born so that his sickness would have never touched their lives."

Pamela said she had last spoken with her brother, Adam, two years ago when he refused to let her see her parents.

Gary Bain Makes Statement to Public as Wife and Daughter are Memorialized
Posted on: 4:15 pm, May 18, 2012, by Adam Hammond, updated on: 06:05pm, May 18, 2012

(Somerville, TN) The murders and kidnapping of the Bain family in Whiteville are still devastating the community.

Today family and friends had a chance to say goodbye.

Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain were memorialized at a private funeral in Somerville Friday.

Meanwhile, Alexandria and Kyliyah Bain are still being interviewed by the FBI about what happened when they were kidnapped and held captive in the woods by Adam Mayes.

Gary Bain said he is destroyed by the senseless crimes and is grieving the death of his wife Jo Ann and daughter Adrienne.

But he says there is a silver lining in that dark cloud, because his youngest girls are now safe with him after Mayes kidnapped them from his home.

When the words of Adam's brother is concerned as well as same words out the mouths of Adam's sister-in-law and mother-in-law ... I suspect that the attorneys retained by Mary Mayes and Teresa Mayes have the defence strategies all figured out.

Brother of Accused Killer, Kidnapper Says He's Glad He's Dead

Johnny lives in the Cowpens area of Cherokee County. He is eight years older than Adam, two of four siblings born to Mary Frances and Johnny Mayes. Johnny says the family moved around a lot, living in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. He says about 16 years ago, they came to Cherokee County to live with his mother's brother. 

"That's when I parted ways with the family," says Johnny.

He says Adam's controlling, abusive behavior drove a wedge between him and his parents.

"They would do whatever he wanted," says Johnny. "Anyone who was close to Adam pretty much lived in fear. He was the person that you didn't want to cross. You didn't cross him because you knew the consequences would come down on you."

<snipped>

He says he and his siblings have decided they will not claim Adam's body and will not hold a funeral.

Pamela is the oldest of six children. Adam Mayes was the youngest and by her account, the head of the household.

"Adam had no reason to be like he was, because from the time he was born, he was in charge, they gave total control over to him," Pamela said.

When she says ‘they', she is referring to her parents.

Their mother, Mary Frances, is in jail on charges that she helped Mayes kidnap Alexandria and Kyliyah Bain.

Their father, Johnny, now lives with his son in South Carolina.

"He was in total control of them, they had no will power, no voice and after they pushed us kids away, we could no longer protect our mom and dad," said Pamela. "He was very much a mind manipulator, he would say what he wanted you to do in a way that made you want to do it."

Autopsy report confirms Mayes' suicide

JACKSON, Miss. (WTVA) -- The final autopsy results from the state medical examiner's office in Jackson indicate accused kidnapper and killer Adam Mayes committed suicide after being located by authorities May 10.

Union County Coroner Mark Golding said he received the final autopsy results Saturday afternoon.

Golding said a self-inflicted 9mm gunshot wound to the head -- from the right to left temple -- caused the 35-year-old Mayes' death. The ruling cited suicide as the official cause.

Any additional details would have to be released through law enforcement, he said.

As for what happens to Mayes' body now, Golding said there's no clear-cut answer to that.

 ::snipping2::

The coroner said even if nobody from the family claims him, they will still be held legally responsible.

There's no set time frame for when the body will be released from Jackson.

Adam Mayes, kidnap-slaying suspect, was investigated for child sex abuse in 2010

CBS/AP) - Adam Mayes, the man accused of kidnapping and murdering Jo Ann Bain and her daughter Adrienne, and committing suicide when police caught him with Bain's two other daughters, was investigated for child sex abuse in 2010.

According to records from Madison County Sheriff's Office in Jackson, Tenn., Adam Mayes was accused of child abuse and possessing child pornography. A family member claimed to have seen Mayes nude as he shaved the legs of a nude 7-year-old girl.

Mayes denied the allegations and he was never charged. An investigator concluded the claim about the abuse, as well as the allegation he had child pornography, were unfounded.
