In the story: **Mayes and the Bains were known around Whiteville, a town of about 4,500 people 60 miles east of Memphis. Mayes was a longtime friend of Bain's husband and had been at their home the evening before they disappeared, police said.
Both Gary Bain and Mayes were once married to sisters, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said.
Mayes had stayed over at the Bains' house to help the family pack and load up a U-Haul to drive across the country to Arizona, Helm said. Gary Bain, who was at the house that night, awoke to find his wife, daughters and Mayes gone.
He couldn't reach his wife on her cell phone that day, and reported them missing when the girls didn't get off the school bus.**
I did not realize Gary Bain did not think anything was amiss that morning. If I was a man and awoke and found my entire family gone along with my friend, I think I would have contacted the school or gone to the school to see about my children. And if we were supposed to be packing, wouldn't I be looking for both my wife and my friend to help? My senses feel that there is something else rotten going on here that the paper cannot write just now.
