The Alabama Bureau of Investigation has confirmed the missing 9-year-old Alabama twins and their 73-year-old babysitter have been found dead in Lowndes County, according to reports. They are calling the case a triple homicide.
The Montgomery, Alabama twins, Jordan and Taylor Dejerinett, and Jack Mac Girdner of Hope Hull had been reported missing Monday and last seen on Sunday.
A flier had been circulating around the web to help find the missing children and the caretaker.
The bodies of the three were found on Tuesday on a dirt road in Alabama.
ABI is currently looking for Deandra Marquis Lee, 22, who is said to be a person of interest. He is described as a 5-foot-6 black male weighing 175 pounds. Lee is currently out on bond in Dallas County, accused of being in possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, and violation of license to carry a pistol.
Lee is considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities ask anyone with information on Lee’s whereabouts to call ABI Special Agent Matt Bowman at 334-242-1142 or any local law enforcement agency. To give an anonymous tip, call the ABI’s Crime Tip Line at 800-392-8011.
