GUNTOWN, Miss. (AP) - Two girls who police say were kidnapped by a man accused of killing their mother and older sister have been released from a Memphis hospital.
Sara Burnett, a spokeswoman for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, said 12-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-year-old Kyliyah Bain were treated and released from the hospital early Friday.
Burnett said she didn't have details on their conditions, but law enforcement officers said the girls were suffering from exposure, dehydration and poison ivy after they were rescued Thursday in northern Mississippi.
Authorities say 35-year-old Adam Mayes was pronounced dead after he shot himself when he was found in a densely wooded area west of his home in Guntown, Miss.
