Twelve-year-old Alexandria Bain reportedly told her sister, Kyliyah, 8, “Now we can go home” in the moments after their kidnapper and the killer of their mother and other sister shot himself on Thursday night. Police found the two girls and Adam Mayes in the woods near Zion Hill Baptist Church in Mississippi on Thursday. When Mississippi Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Steve Crawford finally came upon Mayes after a search that went on for days, Mayes wordlessly fired a bullet into his own head.
