Quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond lived a comfortable life inside his prison cell filled with TV streaming, alcohol and video games, according to pictures he uploaded to Facebook.
Authorities continue to search for Drummond, 28, who allegedly killed James M. Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15, according to the Dyer County Police Department. Their bodies were discovered on July 29. Police said an infant that was found on the front lawn of a random individual’s house is related to all four of the victims.
Drummond served 13 years in Tennessee prison after being convicted of aggravated robbery and retaliation. The retaliation charge occurred while Drummond was in prison. He was released from prison on Sept. 1, 2024, according to the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Pictures posted to Drummond’s Facebook show that he had a Roku, handheld video game device, at least one cell phone, and a pantry filled with food.

“Ciroc….. almost home living it up till I get there,” Drummond wrote on Nov. 18, 2023, just under a year before he was released.
Former NYPD Detective and security expert Pat Brosnan told Fox News Digital the prison wardens didn’t do their job correctly.
“I think there was a measure of both irresponsibility, neglect, and probably some recklessness as well in relation to not just the wardens, but the senior management staff, the captains, the deputy warden, the lieutenants,” Brosnan said. “But the reality is they’re supposed to have very frequent checks of the cells. They call them shakedowns. They shake down and make sure there’s no drugs in there or any contraband. That’s part of their policy and protocol in the state prison system, as well as the federal prison system.”
Brosnan said it’s “absolutely” a possibility that Drummond knew someone who worked at the prison, and that’s why he had the contraband.

When Drummond allegedly killed the four individuals, he was out on bond in relation to an attempted murder charge. The attempted murder charge was filed in Dec. 2024, but officials said the alleged crime occurred while Drummond was still in prison.
It’s unclear how Drummond got the contraband into prisons controlled by the Tennessee Department of Corrections, but he was charged four times with getting contraband into a penal facility.
A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesperson told Fox News on Friday that the vehicle was found in Jackson, Tennessee, but Drummond wasn’t inside. A law enforcement official briefed on the matter told Fox News Digital that Drummond is likely still in Tennessee.
