WHITEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities are working to identify two bodies found at a Mississippi residence associated with a man suspected of abducting a woman and her three young daughters.

The FBI says two bodies were found over the weekend at a home connected to 35-year-old Adam Mayes in Guntown, Miss., but agents have released few other details. Authorities believe Mayes abducted the woman, Jo Ann Bain, and her three daughters, ages 8 to 14.

On Sunday, forensic scientists with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation searched the garage and backyard at the Hardeman County, Tenn. home where Bain, her husband and their children lived.

Meanwhile, a Bain family friend says the woman and her daughters were moving to Arizona because two of the girls had asthma.

Tennessee authorities say the family had not yet moved.
