UNION COUNTY, Miss. — Police believe one of the bodies found buried at a home in Mississippi may be that of a missing Tennessee mother.
Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards told FOX News Channel Sunday that the two bodies have not yet been positively identified, but one was believed to be 31-year-old Jo Ann Bain.
Edwards said the bodies had apparently been buried for a few days.

They were discovered Friday at a Union County residence connected to Adam Christopher Mayes, the man suspected of abducting Bain and her daughters Adrienne, 14, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, eight.
Autopsies were performed Sunday but the results have not yet been released, Edwards added.
The FBI and US Marshals joined Union County Sheriff’s deputies in their search for Mayes Sunday in a 10-square-mile section of northeastern Union County. Edwards said police had no indications that he had left the area.
Bain and her daughters were last seen leaving their home in Whiteville, about 60 miles east of Memphis, on the morning of April 27.
Bain’s husband reported her missing, and her vehicle was later found abandoned.
Mayes, described as a friend of the family, was questioned by police about the disappearances last week. He has not been seen since May 1, when he was spotted in Guntown, Miss.
Police believe Mayes has changed his hairstyle since being questioned and may have also cut and dyed the three girls’ hair.
A warrant for Mayes’ arrest on kidnapping charges has been issued.
