Good morning, Jackson.

Madison County Fire Rescue crews searched for two missing autistic children and found them safe on Sunday evening along Riverside Drive between Pope Road and Rochelle Road—rescue officials said quick community support helped locate the children.

Federal officials stated in court filings that suspect Austin Drummond, charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the Lake County killings, is believed to have possibly fled Tennessee after Tanaka Brown and Giovonte Thomas were arrested as accessories while authorities offered a joint reward of $17,500 for leads.

Law enforcement agencies are searching today for dangerous fugitive Austin Drummond at West Jackson Baptist Church with helicopters, drones, and dogs while residents along Pipkin Road & Pleasant Plains Road are asked to send doorbell footage and three alleged accomplices have been arrested in connection with charges that include four counts of first degree murder, aggravated kidnapping & weapons charges.
