MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Investigators with the Dyer County and Lake County Sheriff’s Departments are investigating the death of four people located in Lake County.
Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box isn’t saying where the bodies were found, but it appears the incident involves the ongoing investigation of a baby found in someone’s front yard in Dyer County on Tuesday.
The child was found in a baby seat at a residence on Old Highway 20 near the Tigrett area.
A deputy said that a dark-colored minivan or white midsize SUV was reported to have dropped off a baby at a random person’s home. The baby was not hurt and was identified.
Sheriff Box said the identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
After the baby was identified, the sheriff’s office said it wanted to speak with Cortney Rose, Matthew Wilson, and Adrianna Williams.
“This is a deeply saddening day for our community. We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served,” said Sheriff Box.
The sheriff also commended Lake County Sheriff Brian Avery and his officers for their swift assistance and collaboration at the scene within Lake County. Lake County is about 25 miles north of Dyer County.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI have been called in to assist with the case.
